ARCHITECTURE 173 of materials and work, arrangement of computations in proper and convenient order, and approximate prices of material and labor, which vary in different localities. The methods of estimating by squaring, cubing, units, and quantities are each employed and illustrated by problems. A study is made of the general and special clauses of specifications and of their arrangement, as well as of methods of classifying material to facilitate writing specifications. Practice is obtained by writing several sets. Clarke's Building Superintendence; Lectures on Building Law; Ricker's Notes on Estimates; Bower's Specifications. I.; Tu., W., 5; Th., 4 and 5; (3). Associate Professor WHITE. Required: Architecture 4. 13. HEATING AND VENTILATION.—Scientific theory and practice of warming and ventilating buildings is the object of this study. Commencing with fuels and production of heat, then passing to flow of gases through ajutages and pipes, applying these data to calculation of dimensions of air ducts and chimneys. Different systems of heating by furnaces, hot water, steam, etc, are next examined, with details of each. Sources of impurity in the air and requirements of good ventilation are then considered, with the different methods of ventilation by aspiration, by fans, etc., ending with the study of fans of different types. Numerous problems are given, and heating plants designed. Carpenter's Heating and Ventilating Buildings; Ricker's Notes on Heating and Ventilation. I.; M., F., 4 and 5; Tu.. IV., 4; (4). Associate Professor WHITE. Required: Architecture 4, 15; Physics 1, 3. 14. ARCHITECTURAL PERSPECTIVE.—Theory of perspective is taught with labor-saving methods of abbreviating work, and designing in perspective is made a special aim, being very useful to a draftsman in preparing sketches for clients. Problems in angular, parallel, vertical, and curvilinear perspective, as well as in perspectiv. shades and shadows, are solved, requiring original work as far as possible, so as thoroughly to prepare the student for any kind of work in perspective, instead of restricting him to the study and use of a single system. Ware's Modern Perspective. II., Tu., 6, 7, and 8; Th., 3, 6, 7, and 8; (3). Assistant Professor TEMPLE. Required: General Engineering Drawing 1, 2; Architecture 2, 3, 8, 20 or 21. 15. REQUIREMENTS AND PLANNING OF BUILDINGS.—Lectures are fully illustrated by plans sketched on the blackboard, which must be embodied in students' notes. Numerous problems in planning are
