ADELPH1 COLLEGE. ZQ The development of the problems involving the principles of DESCRIP- TIVE GEOBIETRY, including shades, shadows and perspective, forms an inte- gral part of the course in drawing during the Sophomore Year. 7. SURVEYING. The course includes the use and adjustment of the transit, level, etc., various practice surveys, recitations and lectures upon the principles of surveying, systematic records of data. Land surveys are made and checked, levels are run, and some topographical work is done. Certain trigonometrical problems, such as determining the distance of inac- cessible points, Ending the various parts of triangles, are solved from data derived by the student. The Held Work is done during the spring of the Freshman Year and the autumn of Sophomore Year. Text-book: The principles of surveying as found in johnson will be used as a basis in both recitation and field work. Freshman Year, second semester, four to five hours a week. Sophomore Year, until November, practice in field Work. 8. ADVANCED MATHEMATICAL OPT1oNs. Under the usual conditions governing optional studies, electric courses may be obtained in Theory of Equations fBurnside and Pantonj, Solid Analytic Geometry, Determinants, Quaternions. Such courses are open to students who have completed the mathematical courses required in the classical or scientinc courses.
