DEPARTMENT REPORTS. 



REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND ENGINEERING. 



REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SHOPS. 



Mechanical Course. 

 To President Willits : 



Dear Sir — I have the honor to submit the following report of the shop and 

 fihop work for the year ending September 30, 1886. 



Respectfully, E. C. CARPENTER, 



Superintendent. 

 the building. 



The building was designed by myself. I also prepared with aid of students 

 specifications and drawings. Mr. William P. Appleyard, the architect of the 

 other buildings, erected in 1885, acted as superintendent of construction. The 

 building was erected by Fuller & Wheeler, contractors, for 17,800. In the de- 

 sign of the building the utmost economy had to be exercised as respects orna- 

 ment, in order to provide the shop with the necessary room and equipment and 

 yet keep within the limits of the special appropriation for that purpose. The 

 building as erected is plain and devoid of architectural ornament. It is, how- 

 ever, convenient, well constructed and satisfactory to all those who occupy it. 

 The following is a cut of the building:
