48 Illinois Industrial University. APPAEATUS. For Field Practice.—The school is well provided with the instruments necessary for the different branches of engineering field practice, which includes, eha'ns, tape, compasses, plane-tables, stadias, transits, levels, barometer for barometrical leveling, base rode and comparing apparatus, sextants, engineer's transits arranged for astronomical obse;vations An astronomical observatory is provided with an equatorial telescope^ an astronomical transit, wtih an attachment ior zenitii telescope work, a chronometer, and a set of meterological instruments. A portable altitude and azimuth instrument of the latest and best form, from (he celebrated makers, Troughton & Simms of London, is used for instruction in Geodesy and Practical Astronomy. It is read by micrometer microscopes to single seconds, both if altitude and of azimuth. To facilitate practice in trigonometrical and land surveying, an area has been specially prepared in which the difficulties of plans surveying are presented to the beginner as he is able to meet them, and where he is taught practical methods of overcoming them. For the Lecture Room.—The school has numerous models for illustrating its specialties, including descriptive geometry and astronomy; models of bridges roofs, joints, and connections; a large collection of drawings, photographs, and photo-lithographs of bridges, roofs, and engineering structures; it has access to the Museum of Engineering and Architecture, which contains models illustrating wood, stone, and metal construction, and to a complete set of lithographs of the lectures and drawings used in the government Polytechnic Schools of France. The Library is well supplied with the latest and best periodicals and books upon engineering subjects. CIVIL ENGINEERING COURSE. Required for Degree of B. S. in School of Civil Engineering.
