0,8 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. 2. Water Supply Engineering.—This subject is intended to cover the principal features of the construction of water-works, including the tests and standards of purity of potable water; the choice of source of supply; the designing of the distribution system, pumps and pumping machinery, reservoirs, standpipes, and the filtration of water. Lectures; Farming's Water Supply Ev-gineering. Fall term, 5 hours a week. Professor TALBOT. Required: Mechanics, 1, 3; Chemistry, 1; Mechanical Engineering, 4; (Steam Engineering). 3. Sewerage.—The design and methods of construction of sewerage systems for cities, including the following: sanitary necessity of sewerage; water carriage systems, both separate and combined; surveys and general plans; hydraulics of sewers; relation of rainfall to storm water flow, and determination of size and capacity of sewers; house sewage and its removal; form, size, design, and construction of sewers and sewer appurtenances ; modern methods of sewage disposal by filtration, chemical precipitation, irrigation, etc., with resultant changes in the sewage; estimates and specifications. Lectures; Slaley and Plerson's Separate System of Sewerage. Winter term, 5 hours a week. Required: Mechanics, 1, 3; Chemistry, 1. 4. Botanj.—This is a study of the lowest orders of plants, including such species as are most commonly met with in microscopical examinations of water, and found associated with putrescent substances. Lectures or recitations and microscopical laboratory work. This is practically the same as the first part of the second term of botany 1, in College of Science. One half of winter term, 10 hours a week. Professor BTTRKILT,. 5. Bacteriology.—For students in course in municipal engineering. This course includes the identification and classification of bacteria, and of allied organisms, their relations to health and to disease, the methods of separation and cultivation, and the methods of air and water analysis. The laboratory is furnished with sterilizers, culture ovens, microscopes, etc.; and students have abundant opportunity to do practical work. This is at first the same as bacteriology 1, in the College of Science, but in the latter part of the term special investigations are undertaken
