included in the course. Great importance is attached to the
study of the theory of electricity upon which all electrical
engineering depends.
Visits to electric power plants and the works of the large
electrical manufacturing companies are a very important
feature of the course.
Laboratory instruction begins in the laboratories of
chemistry and general physics. This is followed by work
in electrical measurements and in the dynamo and steam-
engineering laboratories, which includes the usual factory
and commercial tests of the various types of direct-current
and single and polyphase alternating-current generators and
motors, rotary converters, transformers, and other electrical
apparatus, and also steam engine tests. This work is
planned to familiarize the student with the operation of
electrical apparatus and to develop in him habits of careful
observation. Accuracy in the results obtained is essential.

COURSE m MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The aim of the technical studies in this course is to give
a thorough drill in the principles which underlie mechanical
engineering and to prepare the graduate to acquire easily
and rapidly the special skill and knowledge of detail belong-
ing to the particular line of work which he may follow.
The elements of machine drawing are taught in the soph-
omore year, with some empirical machine design; but the
principal work in design comes in the senior year, after the
necessary theory has been presented and a better foundation
of general knowledge established.
A descriptive knowledge of machine elements and of a
few important machines is given in the sophomore year,
after which description becomes an incidental part of many
courses. From this beginning the study of machine con-
struction turns to shop processes, work in the shop, machine
tools and their operation, and the principles of shop design
and operation.
Applied mechanics run through the junior and senior
years, in the general subjects of mechanics of materials and
hydraulics and in the mechanics of machinery which deals
more particularly with motions and forces in machines.
A good grounding in the principles of electric power
engineering is given in the junior year. Heat and power
engineering is begun in the junior year' and runs through
the senior year, where the title thermodynamics covers not
only the theory of the subject, but also its applications in
steam and gas engines and in power plants.
Work in the mechanical laboratory, mainly along the
lines of applied thermodynamics and measurement of power,
with some applied mechanics, is intended to enforce the
principles taught in the classroom and to give the student
skill and confidence in using them.

SHORT COURSES IN AGRICULTURE
The short courses in agriculture are planned to g?ve
assistance to those who desire to become better farmers, more
skilful stockmen, dairymen, poultrymen, fruit growers, or
market gardeners, but who are unable to take an extended
course of study.
They give training in the best modem methods of
managing farms, dairies, and orchards. The instruction in
everything is practical with the special view of being imme-
diately useful. Students are taught by practical demonstra-
tion how to manage soils, to use fertilizers, to judge farm
stock, to manage poultry, to select varieties of farm crops, to
propagate plants, to bud, graft, plant, and prune orchards,
to handle and test milk and cream, to use cream separators,
to make butter, and in general more intelligently to conduct
farming operations.
Students coming fOT the first time are urged to select the
course in general agriculture and dairy farming, as the work
offered in that course is more general in its character and
furnishes a good foundation for a study of special lines.
One of the other short courses may then be taken more
advantageously the second winter.
The four-year Course in Agriculture is described on
pages 62-69.

COURSE m MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The aim of the technical studies in this course is to give
a thorough drill in the principles which underlie mechanical
engineering and to prepare the graduate to acquire easily
and rapidly the special skill and knowledge of detail belong-
ing to the particular line of work which he may follow.
The elements of machine drawing are taught in the soph-
omore year, with some empirical machine design; but the
principal work in design comes in the senior year, after the
necessary theory has been presented and a better foundation
of general knowledge established.
A descriptive knowledge of machine elements and of a
few important machines is given in the sophomore year,
after which description becomes an incidental part of many
courses. From this beginning the study of machine con-
struction turns to shop processes, work in the shop, machine
tools and their operation, and the principles of shop design
and operation.
Applied mechanics run through the junior and senior
years, in the general subjects of mechanics of materials and
hydraulics and in the mechanics of machinery which deals
more particularly with motions and forces in machines.
A good grounding in the principles of electric power
engineering is given in the junior year. Heat and power
engineering is begun in the junior year' and runs through
the senior year, where the title thermodynamics covers not
only the theory of the subject, but also its applications in
steam and gas engines and in power plants.
Work in the mechanical laboratory, mainly along the
lines of applied thermodynamics and measurement of power,
with some applied mechanics, is intended to enforce the
principles taught in the classroom and to give the student
skill and confidence in using them.

SHORT COURSES IN AGRICULTURE
The short courses in agriculture are planned to g?ve
assistance to those who desire to become better farmers, more
skilful stockmen, dairymen, poultrymen, fruit growers, or
market gardeners, but who are unable to take an extended
course of study.
They give training in the best modem methods of
managing farms, dairies, and orchards. The instruction in
everything is practical with the special view of being imme-
diately useful. Students are taught by practical demonstra-
tion how to manage soils, to use fertilizers, to judge farm
stock, to manage poultry, to select varieties of farm crops, to
propagate plants, to bud, graft, plant, and prune orchards,
to handle and test milk and cream, to use cream separators,
to make butter, and in general more intelligently to conduct
farming operations.
Students coming fOT the first time are urged to select the
course in general agriculture and dairy farming, as the work
offered in that course is more general in its character and
furnishes a good foundation for a study of special lines.
One of the other short courses may then be taken more
advantageously the second winter.
The four-year Course in Agriculture is described on
pages 62-69.
