GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

branches. Its aim is, first,-to teach the accurate and intelligent use of instruments and materials; and, second, to start the student upon his work with those neat and orderly habits that are invaluable to the competent draughtsman. The instruction is given by lectures and reference to books in the University library. The problems are arranged so as to be of the most practical benefit to the student, and, instead of being copies of similar problems, are designed to throw him upon his own ingenuity in applying his knowledge of principles learned. This work includes geometrical constructions ; orthographic, isometric, and cabinet projections of objects from models or given data ; drawings finished in line shading and water-colors, in all about thirty plates. Lectures and Notes. Fall term, two-fifths study. Mr. PHILLIPS work in this study includes problems on the point, line, and plane, and some of the simpler geometrical solids. The second term's work takes up plane, single-curved, double-curved, and warped surfaces ; the generation and development of the same ; sections and intersections, and shades and shadows. The application of principles and methods in numerous and varied practical problems is a large part of the work in each term, comprising in all the drawing of about thirty-nine plates.
