mornings, with their dinner for a day ' s work in the field. This work, as explained be- fore, generally consists of the taking of levels, the laying out of railroads, together with curves and turnouts, and in general land surveying. To the student this work affords practice in those lines with which he must deal after graduation, as well as furnishing that healthful bodilv exercise so essential to a clear mind. The instrument equipment for field work in this department has been greatly ex- tended, so that the facilities in this line at Purdue are now superior to those of most technical schools. With this excellent equipment, consisting of ten levels and ten transits of the best makes of instruments in the country, and with the revision of the course as stated above, the prospects of the civil engineering department seem indeed very bright. 51

® WMO ggg gragj 1 ■ T IS the purpose ot the civil engineering department to prepare a student after , a lour vears ' course to enter at once into civil engineering work. A thorough foundation in mathematics together with a course in rhetoric and literature the first two vears, prepares him to take up intelligendv the studies in architectural, hvdraulic, sanitary, railroad and topographical engineering which follow during the remamder of his course. The course in civil engineering has been revised and extended with the view of broadening the field of instruction and to do fuller justice to some of the more essential branches. In order to gain time for certain special subjects, such as surveying and railroad engineering, there has been some reduction in the time given to subjects taught by other departments. The course in shop work for civil engineers is confined to the freshman vear, and includes those parts of the regular course in the shop which are of special value to the civil engineer. The work in surveying continues throughout the sophomore year. Railroad engineering is started in the third term of the sophomore vear and continues to the end of the course. In the senior vear an option is oflered between sanitar - engineering subjects and advanced railroad engineering. To the student a short oudng in which he can leave the study table and confinement of the room is always acceptable. During the pleasant days of the first and third terms the classes in surveving start on Saturday 50
