128 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES In specifications, practice is obtained by writing out complete sets for buildings. Dietzgen's Specification Blanks are employed. The standard Contract of the American Institute of Architects is used, being first carefully studied, then filled out for buildings. Bids, certificates, and other papers are made out. Ricker's Lectures on Estimates. Winter term, full study. Associate Professor WHITE. Required: Architecture 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2, or 4, 5. 13. HEATING AND VENTILATION.—A full knowledge of the scientific theory and of the practice of warming and ventilating buildings is the purpose of this study. Commencing with the fuels and the, production of heat, the student passes to the flow of gases through ajutages and pipes, applying these data to the calculation of the dimensions of air ducts and chimneys. The different systems of heating by furnaces, hot water, steam, etc., are next examined, with the details of each. The sources of impurity in the air and the requirements of good ventilation are then considered, with the different methods of ventilation by aspiration, by fans, etc., ending with the study of fans of different types. Numerous problems are given and heating plants designed. Carpenter's If eating and Ventilating Buildings. Lectures. Fall term, full study. Associate Professor WHITE. Required: Mathematics 2, 4, 6; Architecture 2, 3, 4, 9, 15; Physics 1, 3; Chemistry 1; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2, or 4, 5. 14. ARCHITECTURAL PERSPECTIVE.—The theory of perspective is taught with labor saving methods of abbreviating work and designing, in perspective itself is made a special aim, this being very useful to a draughtsman in preparing sketches for clients. Methods of diagonals by triangles, and by coordinates are all used. Problems in angular, parallel, vertical, and curvilinear perspective, as well as in perspective shades and shadows, are solved, requiring original work as far as possible, so as thoroughly to prepare the student for any kind of work in perspective, instead of restricting him to the study and use of a single system. Ware's Modern Perspective. Winter term, full study. Mr. TEMPLE. Required: General Engineering Drawing 1, 2, 3, 4; Architecture 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, iG, 17, 20. 15. REQUIREMENTS AND PLANNING OF BUILDINGS.—The lectures will be fully illustrated by plans sketched on the blackboard, which must be embodied in students' notes. Numerous problems in planning are given. References will frequently be made to the University library and the
