In 1917, he returned to Purdue, where he headed the Department of Practical Mechanics; he retired in 1938. Professor Hoffman was also prominent in public welfare functions in West Lafayette. One of his best known books was Handbook for heating and ventilating engineers, (1920) McGraw Hill, 478 pages.
Michael Golden was head of Practical Mechanics until his retirement day in 1916. He was suceeded by James D. Hoffman, who was characterized by Dean A.A. Potter as "the salt of the earth." Hoffman was faced during much of his tenure with a shortage of funds for equipment and insufficient space for instruction to be carried on as it should be. One change he was able to make during his leadership was to decrease elementary exercises and prepare advanced courses that led in the direction of industrial engineering. He retired in 1938.—History of Purdue University: The Roots of Industrial Engineering, online at (http://ie.www.ecn.purdue.edu/IE/History/Roots).There is a photograph of James D. Hoffman with this article.
