GENERAL ENGINEERING DRAWING.

1. Elements of Draughting.—This term's work is designed as a general preparation for draughting in all branches. Its aim is first, to teach the accurate and intelligent use of instruments and materials; and second, to start the student upon his work with those neat and orderly habits that are invaluable to the competent draughtsman. The instruction is given by text books, lectures, and reference to books in the University library. The problems are arranged so as to be of the most practical benefit to the student and, instead of being copies of similar problems, are designed to throw him upon his own ingenuity in applying his knowledge of principles learned. This work includes geometrical constructions ; orthographic, isometric, and cabinet projections of objects from models or given data; sections, drawings finished in line shading and water colors; in all about thirty plates. Faunce's Mechanical Drawing; Lectures and Blue Print. Fall term, 10 hours a week. Mr. POWELL. 2. Descriptive Geometry.—The first term's work in this study includes problems on the point, line, and plane, some of the simpler geometrical solids, and shades and shadows. The second terms's work takes up plane, single-curved, double-curved, and warped surfaces; the generation and development of the same;
