The object of this school is to prepare students for the practice of the profession of architecture. A thorough knowledge of scientific principles applied to construction, ability and refined taste in design, a technical acquaintance with the processes of the various building trades, and some skill in the use of tools, are necessary for this, and are made prominent objects of the course of instruction. The course of study comprises the theory and practice of construction, the history and esthetics of architecture, draughtsmanship, and the usual work of office practice, so far as this can be taught in a professional school. Technical instruction is imparted by recitations from text books, lectures, and especially by the application of principles to practical cases; engravings, photographs, and models are employed as illustrations. Drawing is practiced during the entire course, and designing is introduced early, so that original work is done whenever possible. Drawing from casts and modeling in
