trical apparatus from E. S. Ritchie, of Boston; and a large number of pieces prepared at the mechanical shops of the University. It includes, also, Browning's electric lamp; and from Eliot Brothers, London, resistance coils, galvanometers, etc., for higher researchers in electricity. A large dynamo, for experimental purposes, has lately been placed in the machine shops and is connected with the laboratory. Other electrical apparatus will be added during the present season.

DRAWING.

Projection Drawing.—Use of instruments in applying the elements of description geometry; use of water colors; isometrical drawing; shades and shadows; perspective; drawing of machines, bridges, roofs, etc., finished by line shading, tints, and colors. Free Hand Drawing.—Outline sketches; drawing from casts; sketches of machines, etc. Lettering.—Plain and ornamental alphabets; titles and title pages; round and stamp writing. Descriptive Geometry.—Problems on the point, right line, and plane; warped surfaces, perspective; shades and shadows; practical problems.

APPLIED MATHEMATICS.

Analytical Mechanics.—Polygon of forces; equations of equilibrium of moments; center of gravity; moment of inertia; acceleration, work, momentum, impact; motion of free particles; central forces; constrained motion. Strength of Materials.—Elasticity; safe limits; shearing stress; flexure and strength of beams and columns; practical formulas. Hydraulics.—Amount of and center of pressure upon submerged surfaces; flow of liquids through orifices, weirs, pipes, and channels; distribution of water in cities.

THESES.

In all the schools in this College a thesis is required as a condition of graduation. It must be an original composition of suitable length, upon a subject appropriate to the school, and approved by the Professor in charge. It must be illustrated with such photograps, drawings, and sketches as may be needed, and embellished with a title page neatly lettered with India ink or colors. It must be upon regulation paper.
