heating, the composition and relative nutrient value of foods, and the causes and methods of communication of contagious diseases. The course deals with those practical hygienic problems of every-day life that are wholly or in large part under the control of each individual. The course is prescribed for young women who take physical culture for credit. It necessitates a knowledge of elementary physiology, and this subject may, therefore, well be one of those chosen for examination for entrance. Fall and winter terms, onefifth study. Assistant Professor SUMMERS. PHYSICS. 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTIVE PHYSICS.—Lectures. This course is designed for those who wish to gain a knowledge of the more important laws and phenomena of physical science, and of the means for exhibiting, studying, and applying such laws and phenomena. It is prescribed for the students in the College of Engineering. Three times a week. Fall, winter, and spring terms, two-fifths study. Professor SHEA. Bequired: Math. 3 or 4.

2. ELEMENTARY PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS.—Lectures and

Laboratory. This course is designed for those who wish to become acquainted with the simple methods only for the qualitative and quantitative study of physical phenomena. Lectures twice a week; laboratory, three periods of 3 hours each week. Winter term, full study. Professor SHEA. 3. ADVANCED PHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS.—Laboratory. This course is designed for those who wish to study quantitatively by the aid of the more accurate scientific methods the chief laws and phenomena of physical science. It is prescribed for students in the College of Engineering, and must be taken by them in same year with Physics 1. Once a week. Fall, winter, and spring terms, three-fifths study. Professor SHEA and Mr. SAGER. Required; Math. 3 or 4.

4. ADVANCED ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS.—Lectures and

Laboratory. This course is a discussion of the theory of electricity, particularly with respect to electrical units, and electrical measuring instruments, together with laboratory work in advanced problems in electrical measurements. It is prescribed for students in electrical engineering. Fall and winter terms, full study. Professor SHEA, Mr. ESTY, and Mr. SWENSON. Bequired; Physics 1 and 3; Math. 7, 8, 9.
