 meteorology, French, railroad surveying, differential and integral calcu- 

 lus ; topographical drawing ; chemistry ; descriptive geometry and ap- 

 plication; shades and shadows; English and English literature. Senior 

 year. — Stone-cutting ; theory of perspective ; strength of materials ; in- 

 dustrial chemistry ; laboratory practice, blowpipe analysis ; analytical 

 mechanics ; astronomy, methods of determining time, latitude, and 

 longitude ; theory of stability of retaining-walls, arches, frames ; bridge 

 construction; roads; railways; canals; graphics of stone-cutting; 

 architectural drawing; machine drawing ; mineralogy; geology. 



3. Course in mechanical engineering. — The requirements for 

 admission to this course and also the studies of the junior year are the 

 same as those for the junior year in the course in civil engineering. 

 Senior year. — Differential and integral calculus ; theory of strength of 

 materials; theory of framing; i)attern- making; molding in sand; 

 machine-shop practice; drawings of machinery; general principles of 

 machinery ; estimation of the strength of structures of wood, stone, 

 and iron; analytical mechanics; thermo- dynamics; machines and 

 motors; industrial chemistry; laboratory practice ; building materials; 

 mineralogy ; geology. 



4. Course in mining engineering. — This course embraces all the 

 subjects required in the course of civil engineering, and also a complete 

 laboratory course in qualitative and quantitative analysis, with special 

 reference to the determination of minerals, ores, metals, and alloys ; as- 

 saying of ores ; metallurgy and metallurgic processes ; the useful min- 

 erals, modes of occurrence, prospecting, boring, blasting; methods of 

 mining, ventilation, lighting, dressing, and concentration of ores. 



5. Course in building and architecture. — This is a i)artial 

 course in the department of engineering, and includes the studies of 

 the junior year in the course in civil engineering, omitting a part of the 

 higher mathematics ; and, in addition, special attention to architectural 

 drawing; structures of wood, stone, and iron; foundations, walls, arches, 

 trusses, and roofs; the application of descriptive geometry to masonry 

 and carpentry ; strength of materials ; A'entilation ; warming ; acous- 

 tics ; building materials, woods, stones, mortars, cements, and paints. 



6. Course in applied chemistry. — First year. — Algebra; geom- 

 etry ; English and English literature ; linear drawing ; French. Sec- 

 ond year. — General chemistry ; laboratory practice, including chemical 

 manipulations, blowpipe analysis, and qualitative analysis ; mechanics 

 of solids, liquids, and gases ; physics, including light, heat, electricity, 

 and magnetism; meteorology; elements of astronomy; English and 

 English literature ; French ; Grerman. Third year. — Industrial chemis- 

 try, including mining and metallurgy ; metallurgic processes for the ex- 

 traction of the useful metals ; the manufacture of important commer- 

 cial chemicals, acids, salts, and fertilizers ; the manufacture of glass 

 and porcelain ; agricultural chemistry ; the composition and use of crude 

 and manipulated fertilizers ; the manufacture of cane and beet sugar; 

 of alcohol, wine, beer, and vinegar; bleaching, dyeing, calico-printing; 

 tanning; gunpowder and other explosives ; soap and candles; gas and 

 illuminating-oils ; printing ; photography ; laboratory practice, quantita- 

 tive analysis, gravimetric and volumetric ; analysis of soils, fertilizers,
