laboratory work includes a full year ' s work in Qualitative Analysis and two years of Quantitative Analysis, during which the student beginning with a few simple determinations, passes from these to the analysis of allovs. minerals, fertilizers and agricultural and technical products. Indus- trial Chemistry is made the principal study of the Senior yei iar. The Civil Engineering course aims to so fit a man that on gradua- tion he may apply himself to practical engineering work. A feature of the course is the large amount of practice which the student gets in con- nection with the theory, especially in surveying and railroad work. The principal study of the technical work of the Senior year is the Theory of Framed Structures, which in connection with a study of masonry construe Hon. designing several types of bridges, and thesis work, continues through- out the year. The Mechanical Engineering course is designed to give a broad general training in the principles which underlie the application of mechanical energy to the useful arts. It is not planned to be a special preparation in any particular line of work, but students who have prefer- ences in any special lines may adapt their undergraduate work to those ends. The course aims to develop systematic methods of work, and to give an exact knowledge of certain basic principles in mechanisms and the generation and transformation of energy. Opportunity for specializing in Marine engineering is given in the Senior year. The Electrical Engineering course is intended to give instruction in the scientific principles of practical electrical work: ' to explain and illustrate the application of these principles to the design, construction, installation and running of apparatus with which the electrical engineer has to deal, and to give practice and experience in the running of the same. This department is well equipped with nearly all the standard instruments and machines. The new Lord Hall will be used by the departments of Mechanical and Electrical engineering and will afford excellent facilities for laboratory work, testing, shop work and the like. The degree of Bachelor of Science is awarded to graduates of the College of Technology. 20

£ElLL££i£ df -rgr; J Jr|L£l£Y 3 yanii -y1)HIS College provides technical instruction in chemistry and WxKcLiM ne va, ' i° lls branches of engineering, the following courses being offered: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Mining engineering, and Chemistry, Students taking their major in any of these courses are required also to take considerable culture work in the other departments of the University, especially in the line of mathematics and the modern languages. Thirty credits, the equivalent of about twenty hours of classroom work a week for four years, are required for graduation. The work of the Freshman year is the same for all engineering students, and thus a man has a year after entering college in which to decide upon his course. At the beginning of the Sophomore year he starts on the course chosen. The course in Chemistry is offere d to those who wish to specialize in chemistry without neglecting the studies of a more general character. The 19
