I2 THE 1vY voL. XXXIV A full course in civil engineering has been in operation for three years, and a course in sanitary engineering has just been established. In certain departments the college offers, also, instruction for graduate students. The departments of instruction in the College number twenty-five, in- cluding ninety-eight elective and voluntary courses. THE PRINCIPLES OF INSTRUCTION. The number of the teaching force, large relatively to the number of those taught, admits of a close relation between instructors and students. Each student is held accountable for his work every day, and receives per- sonal encouragement and guidance to a degree impossible Where the num- ber of the taught is greater. Practical research and laboratary methods are applied wherever possible.

The department is provided with standard ap- paratus for electrical measurements, and has direct current and polyphase alternating current generators for its special use. There is also a work- shop in which a limited number of students are instructed in the use of machine-tools. The Jarvis Chemical Laboratory is well equipped for Work in gen- eral experimental and organic chemistry, in qualitative and quantitative tt! 5 N aw, .

The main laboratory has desk space for thirty students working at one time. This room is devoted to worl: in general experimental chemistry and qualitative analysis. For work in quantitative analysis and organic chemistry separate laboratories are provided and properly equipped. A room set apart for assaying is htted up with suitable furnaces and other necessary material. The Hall of Natural History contains biological, botanical, geologi- cal and mineralogical laboratories provided with every modern equipment. The Gbservatory contains a six and a half inch refracting telescope. a two and a half inch transit, a standard clock, a chronograph, a small
