SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING.

OBJECT OF THE SCHOOL.

The School is designed to furnish a course of theoretical instruction, accompanied and illustrated by a large amount of practice, which will enable students to enter intelligently upon the various and important duties of the engineer.

INSTRUCTION.

The instruction is given by lectures, text-books and reading, to which are added numerous problems and practical exercises, as serving best to explain completely subjects and fix them in the mind. Models and instruments are continually used, both in lectures and by the students themselves.

COURSE OF STUDIES.

The studies taught in this School, as belonging specially to it, are as follows: Projection Drawing, Ornamental Drawing and Lettering, Topographical Drawing and Mapping, Descriptive Geometry, Land Surveying, Topographical Surveying and Levelling, Eoad and Eailroad Engineering, Geodetic Surveys, Practical Astronomy, Descriptive Astronomy, Analytical Mechanics, Bridge Analysis and Designing, Bridge Construction, Foundations and Stone Work. Students of this School pursue studies,in other schools of the University. Arrangements are making for an advanced or post-graduate course in Civil Engineering, which will include the following special subjects: Advanced Bridges, Tunnelling, "Water Supply Engineering, Harbor and Biver Improvements, Arches and Stone Work, Drainage and Sanitary Engineering, Practical Astronomy, Theory of Least Squares.
