120 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. aim is, first, to teach, the accurate and intelligent use of instruments and materials; and, second, to start the student upon his work with those neat and orderly habits that are invaluable to the competent draughtsman. The instruction is given by lectures and reference to books in the University library. The problems are arranged so as to be of the most practical benefit to the student, and, instead of being copies of similar problems, are designed to throw him upon his own ingenuity in applying his knowledge of principles learned. This work includes geometrical constructions; orthographic, isometric, and cabinet projections of objects from models or given data; drawings finished in line shading and water colors, in all about thirty plates. Lectures and Blue Prints. Fall term, two-fifths study. Mr. PHILLIPS and Mr. VIAL. 2. DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY.—The first term's work in this study includes problems on the point, line, and plane, some of the simpler geometrical solids, and shades and shadows. The second term's work takes up plane, single-curved, double-curved, and warped surfaces; the generation and development of the same; sections and inter-sections. The application of principles and methods in numerous and varied practical problems is a large part of the work in each term, comprising in all the drawing of about thirty-nine plates. Church's Descriptive Geometry. Winter term, full study; spring term, half study. Mr. PHILLIPS and Mr. VIAL. Required: General Engineering Drawing 1, 4. 3. LETTERING.—Plain and ornamental alphabets; round and stump writing; titles and title pages. Spring term, half study. Mr. PHILLIPS and Mr. VIAL. Required: General Engineering Drawing 1, 4. 4. SKETCHING.—In orthographic, isometric, and cabinet projections. Architectural sketch plans and details; machines, machine parts, and mechanisms. Lectures and Notes. Fall term, three-fifths study. Mr. PHILLIPS and Mr. VlAL. ECONOMICS. The following courses run through two years. Those which have a letter following the number are given every other year, alternating with those which have a corresponding number but no letter. The others are repeated each year. Courses 1 and 2, or 2a, are continuous, but course 1 may be taken by itself.
