GENERAL LIST OF SUBJECTS. 113 GENERAL ENGINEERING DRAWING. Elements of Draughting.—This term's work is designed as a general preparation for draughting in all branches. Its aim is, first, to teach the accurate and intelligent use of instruments and materials; and, second, to start the student upon his work with those neat and orderly habits that are invaluable to the competent draughtsman. The instruction is given by lectures and reference to books in the University library. The problems are arranged so as to be of the most practical benefit to the student, and, instead of being copies of similar problems, are designed to throw him upon his own ingenuity in applying his knowledge of principles learned. This work includes geometrical constructions; orthographic, isometric, and cabinet projections of objects from models or given data; drawings finished in line shading and water colors, in all about thirty plates. Lectures and Blue Prints. Mr. PHILLIPS. Fall term, full study. Mr. MCLANE and Descriptive Geometry.—The first term's work in this study includes problems on the point, line, and plane, some of the simpler geometrical solids, and shades and shadows. The second term's work takes up plane, single-curved, double-curved, and warped surfaces; the generation and development of the same; sections and intersections. The application of principles and methods in numerous and varied practical problems is a large part of the work in each term, comprising in all the drawing of about thirty-nine plates. Church's Descriptive Geometry. Half of winter term, half study; spring term, full study. Mr. MCLANE and Mr. PHILLIPS. Required: General Engineering Drawing 1. Lettering —Plain and ornamental alphabets; round and stump writing; titles and title pages. Winter term, half study. Mr. MCLANE and Mr. PHILLIPS. Required: General Engineering Drawing 1. GEOLOGY. Geology, Major Course.—(a) Dynamic Geology. The instruction given under this head is intended to familiarize the student with the forces now at work upon and within the earth's crust, modeling its reliefs, producing changes in the structure and composition of its rock masses, and making deposits of minerals and ores. A series of localities is studied in which great surface changes have recently taken place, with a view to ascertaining the character of the forces producing such changes, and the physical evidence of the action of
