24 ILLINOIS ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT STATION Board of Trustees University of Illinois, and the State Engineering Experiment Station. I t is planned to form similar committees relating to other lines of work whenever the importance of the investigations warrants it. I t is hoped that suggestions may be proposed to the station from engineers, or from mining, railway, or manufacturing interests, to the end t h a t the work of the station may grow to be of real value to the commercial interests of the state. Engineering societies will find at the University excellent facilities for meeting, and it is suggested t h a t such societies plan to hold their meetings here as often as possible. T h e desirability of cooperating with similar state experiment stations or with some of the national departments having charge of tests of fuel, timbers, structural materials, or with water surveys, etc., is also evident, and such cooperation will be sought whenever mutual good is promised. Such a method will often tend to concentrate isolated and scattered efforts, and will also tend to standardize methods of tests and forms of reports and specifications.
