Principles and modes of warming, ventilation, etc. Carpentery, and principles involved in the several trades.

The University already has one shop; and students, during the past term, have been employed to some extent in practical mechanics. Itvis hoped that other buildings and facilities for practical instruction will soon be added, so that students may be enabled to acquire some skill in the use of tools, in the construction of models, and in the management of motor powers. The candidates for this course must be prepared to sustain an examination in the branches required by law, and in Algebra and Geometry.

THE DEPARTMENT OF MILITARY SCIENCE.

The course of instruction in this department will embrace the study of Tactics in the various arms, both of the Company and Battalion, Grand Tactics, and Military Engineering, including principles of fortifications, siege works, and gunnery. The studies of the course, and the collateral studies, will be arranged as fast as the wants of the department shall require it. All of the students wear a uniform, and a military drill is held three times a week, or oftener.
