Scope and Contents of the Collection

Collection contains John Charles Heine's class materials, which he assembled while a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for classes in mechanical engineering and physics; includes problem sets, examinations, and student notes.

Abstract The collection documents the activities of John Ripley Freeman, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and later a member of the MIT Corporation. Freeman worked as a consulting engineer for almost sixty years, 1876-1932. Project files containing correspondence, photographs, drafts and published reports, maps, diaries, computation and data, clippings, reprints and transcripts of testimony record his work on over 100 projects in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and...

Scope and Contents

This collection contains course notes prepared by instructing staff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Many of the notes were privately printed for the use of students. The majority of materials date prior to 1935 and offer information about the development of teaching and laboratory instruction in Mechanical Engineering at MIT. Department circulars offer information about courses and descriptions of laboratory facilities.

Scope and Contents Series 1 consists of printed copies of the Department of Mechanical Engineering Annual Reports and Biennial Reports for the years 1977-1995. Series 2 documents the administrative history of the Department of Mechanical Engineering from 1942 to 1992 with emphasis on 1960-1985. A significant amount of information can be found concerning the department's facilities at MIT; funding requests; attempts to comply with federal and MIT policy regarding affirmative action hiring and enrollment;...
