134 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES problems are worked out on as many plates by the student. Ricker's Wood, Stone, Brick, and Metal Construction; Jones's Logarithmic Tables. Fall term, full study. Mr. MCLANE. 3. STONE, BRICK, AND METAL CONSTRUCTION.—Founda- tions of stone, brick, concrete, and on piles, are first studied, then the materials employed in stone masonry, their uses, defects, qualities, and mode of preparation. Kinds of masonry and external finish. Tools for stone cutting and methods of using them. The preparation of working drawings is illustrated by practical applications in the study of the arch, the vault, and the dome. Brick masonry is next examined, with its materials and bonds, and several examples are drawn. The manufacture and refining of cast iron, wrought iron and steel are then studied, together with the processes of pattern making, molding, casting, refining, rolling, etc., as well as the stock or standard dimensions or sections to 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. Mr. MCLANE. Required: 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. Gerhard's Drainage and Sewerage of Dwellings; Lectures on Sewage Disposal. Spring term, full study. Mr. MCLANE. Required: 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, centre 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
