theory of dynamos and steam engines and its application to pumping
and hoisting machinery, and to locomotives.
Text-boa/€·s: Merri1nan's Mechanics of Materials; Unwin’s Elements of Machine
Design; Merriman & ]acoby's Roofs and Bridges, Parts I. and II.; H0lmes’ Steam Engine;
Houston & Konnelly's Electro-Dynamic Machinery; Barr’s Pumping Machinery; Bowser’s
Analytical Mechanics.
BRIDGE DESIGN.
The course in Roofs and Bridges is begun in the first term of the
Junior year and continues through two years. The theory of computa-
tion of stresses by both analytical and graphic methods is thoroughly
taught from the text-book and by numerous numerical examples. At
the beginning of the Senior year the design of bridges is begun, and the
method of instruction is to proceed from the simple to the complex. l
The outline and details of existing structures are examined, and the
student becomes familiar with drafting—office methods by constant refer-
ence to working drawings.
Text-book: Merriman & ]acoby‘s Roofs and Bridges, Part III.
SANITARY ENGINEERING.
The work in Hydraulics includes the study of the flow of water
through orifices, pipes, and large channels; the theory and tests of
water motors and the measurement of power. In Sanitary Engineering
the course comprises the consideration of the separate and combined
systems of sewerage, the methods of sewage disposal, and the collection,
purification, and distribution of a system of water supply.

EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES.
l This department was organized August, 1891, and is now one of the 4
most completely equipped in the College. Mechanical Hall contains a
floor area of about 20,ooo square feet, is constructed of stone and
pressed brick, and is well furnished with modern conveniences for work
in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. The building contains three
recitation—rooms, two drawing-rooms, three offices, a wood and pattern
shop, two boiler-rooms,wash—room, tool-room,engine—room, two machine-
shops, blacksmith shop, foundry, and two large rooms devoted to experi-
mental engineering. A two-story brick building is well equipped for
work in photometry and magnetic measurements. The building is
isolated, so that absolute work 1nay be carried on. A first-class technical
library is at the disposal of all students in Engineering. The equip-
ment of the different rooms is briefly described below : ·
