72 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. Bids, certificates, etc., are also prepared. Ricker's Notes on Estimates ; Wohlgemuth's Ready Reckoner. Fall term, full study. Professor RlCKER. Required: Architecture, 2, 3, 4, 5. 9. Advanced Graphics.—This continues the study of graphic statics, commenced in roofs, with applications to metallic roofs of wide spans, roof trusses, of curved or arched form, and those supported by abutments and also jointed. Continuous girders are also examined, with the effect of moving loads on girders, the instruction ending with the graphical analysis of the arch, vault, and dome, and of the Gothic system of vault and buttress. Instruction is imparted by special lectures, and applications are made to a series of problems in designs for specified cases. References to Planal's Mecanique Applique; Landsberg' s Stalik; DuBois and Clarke s Graphical Statics; Levy's Statique Graphique (Last Ed.). Fall term, full study. Professor RICKER. Required: Math., 2, 4, 6, 7; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, 1, 2; Architecture, 2, 4, 6. 10. Heating and Ventilation.—A full knowledge of the scientific theory and of the practice of warming and ventilating buildings is the purpose of this study. Commencing with the fuels and the production of heat, the student passes to the flow of gases though ajutages and pipes, applying these data to the calculation of the dimensions of air ducts and chimneys. The different systems of heating by furnaces, hot water, steam, etc., are next examined, with the details of each. The sources of impurity in the air and the requirements of good ventilation are then considered, with the different methods of ventilation by aspiration, by fans, etc., ending with the study of fans of different types. Numerous problems are given. Ricker's Abridged Translation of Planat's Chauffage et Ventilation. Winter term, full study. Professor RICKER. Required: Math., 4; Architecture, 2, 3, 4, 8; Physics, 1; Chemistry, 1. 11. Architectural Designing.—(a) Since students often find considerable difficulty when commencing to express their ideas in designs, several simple problems are first given, such as a tower, a store with flats over it, a small library, etc., usually five being studied during the term. Each student makes sketches at small scale, which are criticised and modified until approved, then worked out in plans,
