Includes the correspondence of H.V. Carpenter regarding his engineering consultations with the State College of Washington and others and his responsibilities as the director of KWSC. It also includes published and unpublished manuscripts on engineering projects dating from 1892 to 1940, some authored by Carpenter.
Organizational History:
The College of Mechanical Arts Engineering was established in 1917 upon the reorganization of the State College of Washington. Hubert Vinton Carpenter had been the head of the Department of Mechanical Electrical Engineering from 1903, but in 1917 he became the Dean of the College of Mechanical Arts Engineering. Both before and after Dr. Carpenter became dean, he acted as an engineering consultant with the State College. Dr. Carpenter also was instrumental in the establishment of KWSC in 1915 and acted as its director until his retirement from the college in 1938.
The records of the College of Mechanical Arts Engineering date from 1892 to 1943 and are arranged in a single alphabetical sequence. The series includes the correspondence of H. V. Carpenter regarding his engineering consultations with the State College of Washington and others and his responsibilities as the director of KWSC. It also includes published and unpublished manuscripts on engineering projects dating from 1892 to 1940 -- some authored by H. V. Carpenter.
The Collection is open for research use.
The records of the College of Mechanical Arts & Engineering were transferred to the Washington State University Libraries prior to 1970 (WSU 165).
The records were processed in July 1984 by Patricia M.Gourd.
