MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 22 1 tion, projection theory of correspondence, etc. Scott's Modern Analytic Geometry. Associate Professor TOWNSEND. Required: Mathematics 8, n . [Not given in 1899-1900.] 24. ALGEBRAIC SURFACES.—In this course will be considered the application of homogeneous coordinates and the theory of invariants to geometry of three dimensions, and also the general theory of surfaces, together with the special properties of surfaces of the third and fourth order. Lectures with collateral reading. Associate Professor TOWNSEND. Required: Mathematics 17, 18. [Not given in 1899-1900.] MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 1. SHOP PRACTICE.—In the shops the work, as far as possible, is carried along the same lines as are practiced in our leading commercial shops. The exercises are, in general, chosen from parts of machines under construction, and carefully graded to the skill of the student. 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. Following is an outline of the work, that of the two semesters being subject to transposition. First Semester, Wood Shop.—Primary exercises relating to the care and use of tools and the construction of a series of exercises in joint work and turning preparatory to pattern making. Pattern and core box making with special reference to molding. Second Semester, Foundry and Forge Shop.—One-half of this semester is devoted to instruction in the management of the cupola and molding, including the making of green and dry sand cores. Onehalf of the semester is devoted to instruction in forging and welding iron and steel. Special attention is given to tempering of lathe and planer tools, also to case-hardening and annealing. /. and II; daily; section A, 1 and 2; section B, 3 and 4; section C, 6 and 7; (3%). Mr. CURTISS, Mr. WILSON, and Mr. JONES. 2. SHOP PRACTICE.—First Semester. Instruction in chipping, filing, and elementary machine work. Lectures. Second Semester.—Instruction in the various operations of lathe, planer, drill press, shaper, grinding machine, milling machine, boring mill, as well as fitting and bench work. Lectures. /. and II.; daily; 6, 7, and 8 (divides time with M. E. 4); (2Yi). Assistant Professor VANDERVOORT and Mr. CLARK. 3- POWER MEASUREMENTS.—This is the beginning of the work in the mechanical engineering laboratory, and is intended for students
