in the triangulation and survey of portions of Lake Champlain. Every student is afforded abundant opportunity for becoming familiar, by actual work in the field, with the use and adjustment of the compass, transit, level, plane table, and other like instruments. The classes make surveys of fields, topographical surveys, surveys of rivers and harbors, surveys for roads and railroads, including running in curves, cross-sections, staking out, contouring, topography. Maps and profiles of the work done in the field are made by the students, and the areas of fields, the cuts and fills, and the quantities of earth to be moved in the construction of roads, are computed.

Sanitary engineering, including the subjects of sewerage, sewage disposal, water supply, the plumbing, heating and ventilating of buildings.

Attention is also given to the preparation of Specifications and Contracts.

In bridge work the theory of stresses, and the details of construction of the various classes of bridges are taken up. Drawings and blue prints of recent constructions from leading bridge companies are used to illustrate modern practice in this work.

The library and reading room are well furnished with engineering literature, the reading room being supplied with many of the American and foreign engineering periodicals.

The special studies of the department may be taken as a graduate course, occupying two years. Young men who are so situated as to be unable to take full work, but who would be glad to receive instruction in special branches, may, by permission of the President and on giving evidence of sufficient preparation, join the classes in those studies, but they cannot be candidates for a degree.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.

The instruction in Mechanical Engineering is intended to furnish the student with such training as will enable him to solve most advantageously the problems which arise in the practice of his profession, namely, those relating to the generation and transmission

of power, and its application to the arts. The fact is recognized that such training cannot be gained in the recitation and lecture rooms alone, and in consequence a considerable portion of the student's time is spent in the drawing-room and workshops, and in the engineering laboratory.

No strictly professional subjects are taken up in the Freshman year, but much time is devoted to mathematics and drawing, these being considered the most important factors in the work of the following years. The Sophomore year is devoted to the more elementary subjects of the profession, the Junior year almost wholly to steam engineering, and the Senior year to machine design and to advanced and special lines of professional work.

Shop Equipment: The carpenter and pattern shop contains, in addition to carpenter's benches, and a full line of tools for manual work, six wood-turning lathes, an eight inch pattern-maker's lathe, circular saw, and scroll saw. The foundry is supplied with a cupola furnace, brass furnace,core-oven and accommodations for six students in moulding. The forge shop contains forges, anvils, a hand drill, and all the hand tools necessary for instruction in this branch. The machine shop is equipped with filing and chipping benches, three engine lathes, a hand lathe, a planer, two upright drills, a grindstone, and emery wheels. A shaper, a milling machine, and a grinding machine will shortly be added.

Power is furnished to the shops by a twenty-five horse power Harris-Corliss engine, and steam, both for heating and power, is supplied by a fifty horse power tubular boiler.
