54 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. 7. Photometry.—Laboratory Work from Notes. This includes the problems of photometry, as found in connection with arc and incandescent electric lights. Spring term, 4 hours a week. Professor STEATTON. Required: Physics, 1; Electrical Engineering, 1, 2, 3. CIVIL EXGIXEEKLXG. 1. Land Surveying.—Areas and distances by chain, compass, and plane table; TJ. S. public land surveys, including legal points involved in the re-establishment of boundaries ; magnetic variation and determination of true meridian. The students solve numerous problems in the field with instruments. To facilitate practice in surveying, an area has been specially prepared in which the difficulties of plane surveying are presented to the beginner as he is able to meet them, and where he is taught practical methods of overcoming them. All possible distances, directions, areas, and elevations are accurately known; and hence the instructor knows beforehand the precise result which the student should obtain. This is an incentive to the student, and enables the teacher to show him the degree of accuracy attained, and also to point out errors. Bellows and Hodgman's Surveyor's Manual. Fall term, 10 hours a week. Professor BAKEK. Required: General Engineering Drawing, 1; Math., i. 2. Topographical Drawing and Surveying.—Topographical drawing is given during the bad weather of the winter term. The student spends about half a term making the standard topographical symbols, and in taking the data for, and making, a map. This and transit surveying and leveling making one credit. During the spring term Topographical surveying is taught, in which students solve problems with the plane table and the stadia, and make a topographical survey and plot the notes. Winter and spring terms, with course 3 requires 10 hours a week. Professor BAKEB. Required: Math., 4; General Engineering Drawing, 1, 2, 3. 3. Transit Surveying and Leveling.—Construction, adjustment, and use of the transit and level; angles, inaccessible distances, and areas with the transit; profiles and contours with the level. The department is provided with the instruments necessary for the different branches of engineering field practice, including
