44 models, and others from the celebrated manufactory of J. Schroeder, of Darmstadt, Germany. About two hundred valuable models from the United States Patent Office are also included in the cabinet. The State has provided a large Mechanical Laboratory and Workshop. The Pattern Shop is furnished with four complete sets of tools, benches and vises for pattern-makers. In a separate building are forges, a moulder's bench with sand, and brass and iron furnaces sufficient for the castings ordinarily required. Four additional sets of tools are provided'for the special use of students in the shop practice classes. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING COURSE. First Year—1.
