MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 183 general theory of surfaces, curves and developables, families of surfaces, and surfaces of higher orders. Charles Smith''s Solid Geometry, with references to Salmon's Geometry of three Dimensions. Winter term, full study. Associate Professor TOWNSEKD. Required: Math. 7, 8, 11. 18. HIGHER PLANE OUBVES.—The course is designed to cover the general properties of Algebraic curves, including the theory of multiple points and tangents, curve tracing, poles and polars, and reciprocal curves; to which will be added envelopes, cubics and quadrics, transcendental curves, transformation of curves, and the general theory of curves. Lectures with Collateral Reading. Spring term, full study. Associate Professor TOWNSEND. Required: Math. 8, 9, 12. 19. SOLID AND SPHERICAL GEOMETRY.—This is the course prescribed for the students in the College of Literature and Arts. Spring term, full study. Mr. KETCHUM. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 1. SHOP PRACTICE.—In the shops the students are advanced in the work as fast as their ability will permit. The work, as far as possible, is carried along the same lines as those practised in our leading commercial shops. The exercises are, in general, chosen from parts of machines under construction, being carefully graded according to the skill of the student. The policy of the department is to give the student every possible advantage and to teach him to produce accurate work in the shortest possible time. Beginning with the care and use of the tools with which he is to work, the student is carried through the various operations of machine-shop practice. The following outlines the work in the several shops as laid down for the regular classes, the work of the several terms being subject to transposition. First Term, Wood Shop.—Primary exercises relating to the use and care of. tools, and the construction of a series of exercises in joint work and turning, preparatory to pattern making. Second Term, Wood Shop.—The work of this term is devoted largely to the making of patterns and core boxes,
