This course is intended to give to young men the best possible preparation for work in the practical applications of electricity. The instruction is given by lecture, laboratory practice, designing, and draughting. The student is encouraged to add to his general intellectual culture by systematic reading of the best periodical literature in theoretical and applied electricity. By keeping himself informed about the best efforts of others in every department of his profession, it is hoped that he may be stimulated to independent thought and original investigation in his own field. To this end, a department reading room, at all times accessible to students in this course, has been recently established, where the leading American, English, French and German journals of general physics and applied electricity are kept on file. The instructors and students meet weekly to discuss the leading articles in current numbers of these journals. A critical discussion of one or more papers is required of each senior twice a month. This department has quarters, at present, in the basement of University Hall. Next year all the work of the department, excepting that of the dynamo laboratory, will be carried on in the new Engineering Hall. The rooms devoted to laboratory practice are the electrical measurement laboratory, the dynamo laboratory, the battery room, the photometry room, and the work shop. The electrical measurements laboratory has masonry piers for the more sensitive instruments, and numerous conveniences indispensable to rapid and accurate measurements. In this laboratory the work relating to the measurement of current, resistance, electromotive force, the
