Architect should be an adept in the varioas departments of Drawing, and some preparation in this branch will be of great advantage. Neatness and exactness of execution should be acquired as a habit. Sufficient preparation in Free-hand and Geometrical Drawing will also make room for an additional term in Botany or Chemical Analysis.
