GENERAL LIST OF SUBJECTS.

3. HYDRAULICS.—In hydraulics the instruction is by text book and laboratory work. The laws of the pressure andflowof water and its utilization as motive power are considered. Experimental work in the hydraulic laboratory gives training in the observation and measurement of pressure, velocity, andflow,and in the determination of experimental coefficients. The subject covers the following: Weight and pressure of water; head; center of pressure; velocity and discharge through orifices, weirs, tubes, nozzles, pipes, conduits, canals, and rivers; measurement of pressure, velocity, and discharge; meters and measurements; motors, turbines, and water wheels; water power and transmission of power. Merrimarts Hydraulics. Spring term, full study. Professor TALBOT. Required: Math. 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1, 2. 4. APPLIED MECHANICS.—To be taken instead of Analytical Mechanics. The course of study and topics studied will be nearly

identical. Peck's Elementary Mechanics. Fall term, full study. Assistant Professor MYERS.

Required: Mathematics, 2, 4, 6. 5. STRENGTH OF MATERIALS.—TO be taken instead of Resistance of Materials. The course of study will be nearly the same,

though somewhat simplified. Merriman's Mechanics of Materials. Winter term, full study. Assistant Professor MYERS.

Required: Mathematics, 2, 4, 6; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 4.

METEOROLOGY.

1. METEOROLOGY.—The study of those atmospheric movements which bring our changes of weather, with their relations to heat, cold, electrical conditions, wind, cloud, barometric pressure, etc., constitutes the work of the first half of the fall term. Abercrombie's Weather is used as an introductory text book; but most of the instruction is given by lectures, the study of charts, and attempts by the student to forecast weather changes. Fall term, twofifthsstudy. Professor ROLFE. Required: Chemistry 3b; Physics 1 or 2. MILITARY SCIENCE. 1. DRILL REGULATIONS.—For all male students. First term: school of soldier; bayonet exercise; second term: school of com—10
