COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING. 29 3. Illustrated experiments once each week, in which the more costly apparatus is used before the whole class in such experiments as are difficult to perform, and which are more effective when prepared for an audience. 4. Higher physical experiments by advanced classes, consisting either of researches, or of reviews of careful and elaborate experiments previously worked up by others. The department of physics is provided with illustrative apparatus for use in the lecture-room, and with an extensive physical laboratory. The collection of instruments embraces acoustic apparatus from R. Koenig, of Paris; apparatus for heat and molecular physics from J. Salleron, of Paris; for light, optics, and electricity from Stoehrer, of Leipsic, and and Browning and Newton, of London; pneumatic and electrical 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 electrical lamp; and from Eliot Brothers, and other makers, London, resistance coils, galvanometers, ammeters, and voltmeters for higher researches in electricity. A room on the ground floor is especially devoted to instruction in electrical measurements. FRENCH AND GERMAN. See College of Literature and Science. 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 upon regulation paper; must be illustrated with such photographs, drawings and sketches as may be needed; and embellished with a title page neatly, printed or lettered with India ink or colors. It will be prepared during the latter part of the fourth year, and presented at the close of the course, after which it will be deposited in the library of the University. CONTRIBUTIONS. Our friends and students are invited to send us specimens of material and manufactures, and drawings, models, or photographs of machinery, bridges, and other engineering and architectural work. Finished and detailed working drawings, perhaps otherwise useless, may be of great value for instruction. Illustrated circulars and price lists of manufact-
