SCHOOL O F M E C H A N I C A L OBJECT OF T H E SCHOOL. This school seeks to prepare students for the profession of mechanical engineering. I t aims to fit them to invent, design, construct and manage machinery for any branch of manufactures. T h e state has need of men who, to a thorough knowledge of the principles of ma, chinery and of the various motors, shall add the practical skill necessary to design and construct the machines by which these motors are made to work. INSTRUCTION. The instruction, while severely scientific, is thoroughly practical. I t aims at a clear understanding and mastery of all mechanical principles and devices. Practice I n the mechanical laboratory, is counted as one of t h e studies of the course. In PRINCIPLES, the knowledge is imparted by lectures, combined with the use of plates and illustrative models, and by text books. Examples are also given showing the application of the theories and principles taught. Experiments in the testing of machines a n d motors are undertaken by the student. In PRACTICE, the instruction consists in t h e production of elementary forms and in the execution of projects, in which t h e student constructs machines, or parts thereof, of his own designing, and from his own working drawings.
