we should again take into consideration 

 the difference in entrance requirements. 

 When this is done, the difference is more 

 apparent than real. For example, if we 

 add to the number of recitations given at 

 Cornell the number of recitations given at 

 Purdue to college algebra and trigonom- 

 etry, which are required for entrance at 

 Cornell as compared with three hundred 

 and ninety-six at Purdue. 



It would seem that the technical schools 

 generally might well afford to make more 

 ample provision for elective mathematics. 

 Such courses as spherical trigonometry, 



least squares, differential equations, might 

 well be placed in such a list. In this way 

 certain subjects which are desirable for 

 some branches of engineering, but not so 

 essential for others, could be taken by 

 those students interested. SheiSeld offers 

 as an elective another course which might 

 be given with advantage at other technical 

 schools, namely, a course in scientific com- 

 putation in which the use of modern cal- 

 culating machines of varioiis kinds is 

 explained and made use of. It would also 

 be weU if the stronger institutions could 

 go still farther and introduce elective
