and practical. The usual methods of text-book study, reci- tation and lecture are employed, but the student is required to put into practice as far as possible the instruction which he receives. He, for example, not only receives instruction in regard to the theory and principles of drawing, pattern- making and machine construction, but he is required to make working drawings himself, to construct patterns, to make the castings in the foundry, to finish and set up the machine, and to operate it when it is completed. This combination of the theoretical and the practical characterizes the institu- tion. Being a state institution, the instruction in Purdue Uni- versity is free to all residents of Indiana of suitable age and acquirements. Small laboratory, library and incidental fees only are charged.
