preliminary and location surveys of a line of railroad of sufficient length to secure familiarity with the methods of actual practice. Each student makes a complete set of notes, maps, profiles, calculations, and estimates. Godwin's Railroad Engineers' Field-Book, and Tratman's Track. I.; daily; 2, 3, 4; (5). Associate Professor PENCE. Required: Civil Engineering 1, 2, 3. 4a. RAILROAD" ENGINEERING.—The first eleven weeks of course 4 are for students in municipal and sanitary engineering.

5. MASONRY CONSTRUCTION.—The students have experiments in

the masonry laboratory, in testing cement, mortar, stone, and brick. Baker's Masonry Construction. I.; M., Tu., W., Th., 1; Laboratory

F, 6 and 7; (5). Professor BAKER.

Required: Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 2 ; General Engineering Drawing 1, 2. 6. GEODESY.—Geodesy is taught by lectures and assigned reading. / / . ; W.; 4 and 5; (1). Professor BAKER.

Required: Math. 3 ; General Engineering Drawing 1, 2 ; Civil Engineering I, 3 ; Descriptive Astronomy 4. 10. SURVEYING.—For students in the courses of architecture, architectural engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Areas with chain and compass, U. S. public land surveys, and principles of reestablishing corners; use of transit in finding distances, areas, and in laying out buildings; use of the level in finding profiles and contours. Baker's Engineers' Surveying Instruments. II.; M., Tu., W.; section A, 1 and 2; section B, 3 and 4;

BRIDGE ANALYSIS.—Instruction and practice are given in

the computation of the stresses in the various forms of bridge trusses, by algebraic and graphical methods, under different conditions of loading. Johnson's Modern Framed Structures. I.; daily;

2 and 3; (5). Professor BAKER.

Required: Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 2; Architecture 5. 13. BRIDGE DETAILS.—The student makes a tracing of a shop drawing of a bridge, and then makes a critical report upon each element of the design and computes the cost. Afterward a comparative study is made of the several forms of details employed by leading designers. This must be taken with course 12 above during the first semester, and with course 14 below during the second semester.
