CONTRIBUTIONS.

Our friends and students are earnestly desired to send us specimens of material and manufactures, and drawings, models or photographs of machinery, bridges, and other engineering and architectural works. Finished and detailed working drawings, perhaps otherwise useless, would be of great value for purposes of instruction. Illustrated circulars and price lists of manufacturing firms are. desired. Contributions will be labeled -with the donors'names and placed in the cabinets of the College for the inspection of students, and the illustration of lectures.

It must be an original composition of suitable length, upon a subject appropriate to the School, and approved by the Professor in charge.
