GENERAL LIST OF SUBJECTS. 105 fixed carbon and ash, technical analysis of furnace gases, examination of lubricants, etc. Winter term, full study. Professor PARR. Required: Chemistry 1. 17. Engineering Chemistry.—This course is designed for students in electrical engineering only. It is devoted to elementary quantitative analysis (including the determination of some simple salts), the volumetric determination of iron, acidimetry, etc. Spring term, fullsludy. Professor PARR. Required: Chemistry 3a. 18. Courses in special advanced work in toxicology, urinalysis, metallurg. ical chemistry, gas analysis, etc., consisting chiefly of laboratory work, may be arranged for those competent to pursue them. From one to three credits will be allowed in the undergraduate courses for such work. Professors PALMER and PARR. CIVIL ENGINEERING. Land Surveying.—Areas and distances by chain, compass, and plane table; U. S. public land surveys, including legal points involved in the re-establishment of boundaries, magnetic variation, and deter mination 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 Hodgmaris Surveyors1 Manual, Fall term, full study. Assistant Professor PENCE. Required: General Engineering Drawing 1; Math. 4. 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. 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. This and
