3 MATHEMATICS. Professors A. H. and I. W. P BUCHANAN. -EFORE mentioning- the aim of this school, it is proper to state that the Senior Professor of Mathe- matics has a national reputation by virtue of his connection, for the past fifteen or twenty years, with the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. On different occasions he has been officially and public]}- commended for the unsurpassed accuracy of his work. It is needless to state that this bureau demands most delicate application of the Higher Mathematics. The instruction offered by this department is directed toward the development of powers and habits of exact, candid, and independent reasoning toward appl)-ing theory to practical problems, toward precision and clearness in stating conclusions, and toward meeting the needs of the true student and good citizen, — and especially such as intend to be teachers and investigators in higher scientific and technical work. The aim is to give enough in each of the leading branches to exhibit its fundamental ideas and-xharax- teristics, and to meet its chief difficulties, so as to enable the student to continue its further study without assistance. The Post. Graduate Cour se embraces the elements of the highest style of mathematical reasoning, and when completed qualifies the student to give instruction and to advance knowledge in that department by his own investigations. Civil Engineering — This course, in addition to Mathematics, Science and English required for the A. B. degree, embraces extensive work in Mechanics, Bridge Construction, Topography, Geodesy and Archi- tecture. The theories of these various subjects are pursued, and as much of practice as can profitably be given without gning into a regular field party. Unusual advantages are available in Geodesy, as the student can eng-age in actual field work with the U. S. C. G. party of Tennessee. Finally, nothing inspires to higher and nobler attainments in the boundless realms of thought than easy familiarity with that matchless instrument of investigation, Mathematics. —19—
