86 COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING CIVIL ENGINEERING The design in this department is to furnish a course of theoretical instruction, accompanied and illustrated by a large amount of practice, which will enable the student to enter intelligently upon the various and important duties of the civil engineer. While the instruction aims to be practical by giving the student information and practice directly applicable in his future professional work, the prime object is the development of the mental faculties. The power to acquire information and the ability to use it are held to be of far greater value than any amount of so-called practical knowledge. EQUIPMENT This department has an extensive equipment of compasses, engineers' transits, solar transits, levels,—ordinary and precise,-—plane tables, sextants, chronometers, barometers, etc. For the lecture room, the department is provided with full-size joints of an actual railroad bridge, sections of columns, eye-bars, etc., and a large collection of lithographs, photographs, and blue-prints of bridges and buildings. The cement laboratory occupies rooms in Engineering Hall, and is provided with slate tables, testing machines, molding machines, sieves, etc., and sample barrels of hydraulic cement, varieties of sand, and other necessary materials.
