be obtained in the market. The special properties and value of each metal in a structure, the designing of a line of columns in a tall mercantile building, and of beams and girders, together with the study of joints and connections completes the work of the term. About twelve problems are drawn on the same number of plates. Same text books as in fall term. Winter term, full study. Assistant Professor WHITE; Required: Arch. 1; General Engineering Drawing 1, 2, 3, 4. 4. SANITARY CONSTRUCTION.—Daily recitations or special lectures, with designs for special problems. The study of plumbing, trap ventilation, removal of wastes, construction of water closets, drains, and systems of water supply; sewage disposal. Hot water supply and fixtures in dwellings. Qerhard's Drainage

and Sewerage of Dwellings; Lectures on Sewage Disposal. Spring term,

full study. Assistant Professor WHITE. 'Required: Arch. 1; Math. 4; Physics 1, 3. 5. ROOFS.—This term is devoted to the elements of graphic statics, and to the applications of the science in the designing of trussed roofs. The composition and resolution of forces, equilibrium, reactions, moments, bending moments, and shears on beams, center of gravity and moment of inertia of any form of cross section, are first examined. The construction of wooden and of metallic roofs is next studied, then the mode of computing permanent and temporary loads on roof trusses, of obtaining end reactions, of drawing strain diagrams, determining sectional dimensions of members, and ending with the designing of joint connections. Numerous problems are solved, five different types of trusses are usually worked.out, complete designs and details being made for one of wood and another of iron or steel.

term, full study. Assistant Professor WHITE. Required: Math. 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, ], 2, or 4, 5; Architecture 2, 3, 4 (except for students in civil, municipal, and mining engineering courses). 6. HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE. —TWO terms' work, usually divided at the beginning of the Romanesque style. Commencing with the Egyptian and ending with the modern styles; a careful study is made of each of the more important styles, successively examining the historical conditions, the local and inherited influences, the structural materials and system, the special ornaments, and the purposes and designs of the buildings, with
