116 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. 20. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS.—An elementary course intended especially for such students of other departments as desire some training1 in the processes of quantitative analysis, but have not the time or the opportunity to enter the regular course in this subject (Chem. 5). The work may vary in character, to some extent, according to the need of the individual student. Spring term, full study. Professor PALMEB and Mr. WHITE. Required: Chemistry 3a. CIVIL, ENGINEERING. 1. LAND SURVEYING.—Areas and distances by chain, com- pass, and plane table; U. S. public land surveys, including legal points involved in the re-establishment of boundaries; magnetic variation, and determination 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 beginn|er 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 before hand 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 Hodgman's Surveyors'1 Manual. Fall term, full study. Assistant Professor PENCE. Eequired: General Engineering- Drawing 1, 2, 3, 4; Math. 4. 2. TOPOGRAPHICAL DRAWING AND SURVEYING.—Topograph- ical 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 course 3 must be taken together. Winter and spring terms, half study. Assistant Professor PENCE. Required: Math. 4; General Engineering Drawing 1, 2, 3, 4; Civil Engineering 1. 3. TRANSIT SURVEYING AND LEVELING.—Construction, ad- justment, and use of the transit and level; angles, inaccessible distances, and areas with the transit; profiles and contours with
