joints, keys, connecting-rod ends, belts, pulleys, stepped cones, shafts, end and neck journals, pivots, and bearings for rotating pieces. Problems relating to gearing are taken up, such as exact and approximate methods of laying out profiles of teeth, proportions of teeth for strength and durability; circular and diametral pitch; cast and cut gears; sizing of blanks; gear cutters; wooden teeth; spur, bevel, and worm gearing, and proportions of worm gearing for highest efficiency. Fall, winter, and spring terms, half study. Mr. GOODENOUGH.

Required General Engineering Drawing 1, 2, 3, 4. 5. MECHANISM.—A study of the nature and equivalence of mechanisms. Determination of centrodes. Graphical diagrams of the paths, speeds, and accelerations of important points of familiar mechanisms. Laying out of cams. Analysis of difficult mechanisms. Determination of velocity ratios. Particular attention is paid to problems relating to motions of gearing, steam-engine mechanisms, parallel motions of indicators, governors, link motions, valve gears, and indicator riggings. Fall term, full study. Mr. WOOD. Required : Math. 2, 4, 6 ; Mechanical Engineering 1, 2, 4. 6. STEAM ENGINES AND BOILERS.—A study of the details of modern engines and boilers and of the principles involved in their construction and operation. Text-books used are : The Steatn Engine, Holmes, and A Treatise on Steam Boilers, Wilson- Flat her. Winter term, full study.

Mr. WOOD.

Required. Math. 2, 4, 6; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1. 7. THERMODYNAMICS.—The fundamental principles underlying the transformation of heat into work, more especially as exemplified in the steam engine, are carefully studied. Considerable attention is paid to the solution of numerous examples, such as will arise in steam, air, or gas engineering. Drill is given in the rapid and accurate use of standard steam tables. Fall term, full study. Professor BRECKENRIDGE. Required: Math. 7, 8, 9 ; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1 ; Physics 1, 3. 8. MECHANICS OP MACHINERY.—This is a study of the theoretical principles involved in the construction of such machinery as comes under the head of hoisting apparatus,
