The University

Mortimer E. Cooley, who is to act as professor of mechanica! engineering, and president Frieze, have rearranged the course of study which becaine necessary on account of the introduction in the university of the new branch of ruechauical engineering, tíevcral new courses of instructiou will be necessury making the institution full aud complete in all the esscmiul branches usually persued by thoss intending to prepare themselves for practice as civil, mechauical, or mining englneers. Accordiug to the aunouucement, the arrangement of the courses of study offered will be such that all engineering students will tuke up nearly or quite the same topics for the first two years afler entering the uuiversity. For the last two years the course uf study will depend upon the particular brauch the student wants to pursue. The requirements for the admission are to be tlie same as heietofore for students in civil engineering. The studies pursued in the earlier part of the course commonto all students will comprise mathematics (including the elements of differential aud integral caleulus), Englisu, Freuch and GermanH the elementa of physics and chemistry and practice in drawing. The more technical subjects for the last two years are analytical and applied mechanica, strength and resistauce of materials, metallurgy of the useful metáis (especially iron and steel),a very complete course in mechanical drawiug, free-haud drawing, ornamentation and leltering, shades and shadows, linear perspectiva and drawing for stone-cutting, theory aud practice of surveying, machinery and prime movers, pure mechanism, the dynamics of machinery, aud the materials, strength and construction of niachinery, the latter iucluding an additioual course on the methods aud appliances of the various workshops; álso on pattern making and foundry work. Special attention will be given to turbines and other water wheels and to the steam engine. The theory and practice of the use of steam, combustión and fuel, efficiency of the furnace boiler and engine will also be considered. A course of lectures will be given on the different types of engines and boilers, link and valve motions, condensers, pumps and propclling instruments. Additional lectures will be given ondesigning the different parts of both the simple aud compound eugiue and boiler, and their various attaohinents. The care and management of engiues and boilers, both in use and out of use will be considered. The relation the machinery of a ship bears to the huil. The lines and dimeusious of a ship being given, the student will be required to calcúlate the engiue power to drive her at a given speed, and then to design the engines, boilers aud propellers. There will be complete courses on the theory of structures, graphical analysis of roof and bridge trusses and arclies, and engineering design, besiiles an elective course on theoretical ship building; courses on economical geology, particular attention beiug paid to the geology of mines and mineral distriets; a course on mining, the machines in use at the best miues being described and the mutual relations of parts explained and illustrated with the aid of plates and di&grams. The different operations conuecled with tho discovery, opening developmeut and working of mines will all be studied. The facilities for the study of chemistry and metallurgy are of a very high order, a large and convenient metallurgical laboralory having been fltted up in conQection with the Chemical laboratory. As often as practicable it is proposed to visit neighboriug mauufacturinjj establishments for the purpose of acquiriug a kuowledge of the metuod einployed in building and in the construction of machinery and ships; and it is hoped provisión can be made in the near future for i regular CDurse of study during tlie sunv mer montUs among the mines of the Up)er Peniasula. The degree to be conferred on all gradíates of the department of engineering will be thnt of Bachelor of Science. The second degree will be Civil Engineer, Mining Engineer and Mechanica) BogÍQeer, and these will be conferrad on i lioso pursuiug poat-graduate courses.
