N e w Welding Library at Ohio State A new library on welding, believed the most extensive in existence has been established at The Ohio State University. It already contains more than 700 books. Known as the A. F. Davis Welding
Library, it is the gift of A. F . Davis, vice president and secretary, T h e Lincoln Electric Co., Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Davis received the degree of M.E. in electrical engineering from the university in 1914 and his reason for placing t h e library there was that Ohio State has the only four-year course in Welding Engineering.
