The design is to furnish a course of theoretical instruction, accompanied and illustrated by a large amount of practice, which will enable the student to enter intelligently upon the various and important duties of the civil engineer. INSTRUCTION. While the instruction aims to be practical by giving the student information and practice directly applicable in his future professional work, the prime object is the development of the mental faculties. The power to acquire information and the ability to use it, is held to be of far greater value than any amount of so-called practical acquirements. The method of instruction consists in coupling the development of intellectual power with the acquisition of information directly useful to the civil engineer in his profession.
