ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. 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 drafting. The student is encouraged to add to his general intellectual culture by systematic reading of the best periodical literature concerning the theory and the applications of 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 and each junior twice a month. This department has quarters in Engineering Hall and in the basement of University Hall. The- class rooms, drafting rooms, seminary rooms, studies, and offices are in Engineering Hall. The rooms devoted to the laboratory practice in University Hall 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,
