siderable apparatus designed and built for various tests of locomotives in actual service.

The new railway shops of the P. & E. Div. of the C., C., C. & St. L. Ry. at Urbana furnish exceptional opportunities for inspection of construction and repair work, and the assured aid that this department will receive from the management of these shops can but be of considerable value to the student.

First, Second, and Third Years

Same as the course of instruction in mechanical engineering.

Fourth Year

I. Thermodynamics (Mech. Eng'g 7); Locomotive Engines (Ry. Eng'g 1); Locomotive Engine Design (Ry. Eng'g 2); Shop Systems (Ry. Eng'g 3); Locomotive Road Tests (Ry. Eng'g 4); Seminary (Mech. Eng'g 19); Thesis.

2. Mechanics of Machinery (Mech. Eng'g 8); Compressed Air in Railway Service (Ry. Eng'g 5); Railway Estimates (Ry. Eng'g 6); Advanced Designing (Ry. Eng'g 7); Dynamometer Car Tests (Ry. Eng'g 8); Economics 2 or 8; Seminary (Mech. Eng'g 19); Thesis.

MUNICIPAL AND SANITARY ENGINEERING

This course is designed for students desiring to make a specialty of city engineering work. It prepares for the varied duties of engineer of the department of public works of cities and includes instruction in modern methods of sanitation of cities.

INSTRUCTION

Instruction is given by lectures, by text-books and seminary work, and by field, laboratory, and drafting work. The methods of training are intended to develop power to take up and solve new problems connected with municipal public works, as well as to design and to superintend the ordinary constructions. Surveying, structural materials, and structural design are taught as in the civil engineering

course. Chemistry, botany, and bacteriology, so far as necessary to a comprehension of the questions involved in water supply and sewage disposal, are given.

PHYSICS

The courses in this department are designed to furnish the student who intends to follow the profession of engineering, science teaching, or research in physical science, with a knowledge of the phenomena and laws of physics.

EQUIPMENT

The rooms devoted to physics are in Engineering Hall. They include a large lecture room and cabinet, a large general laboratory and cabinet, several small laboratories, a constant-temperature room, a battery room, a workshop, and several private studies, laboratories, and offices.

The lecture room is in the form of an amphitheater, and is furnished with opera chairs provided with tablet arms. Piers at the lecture desk and in the center of the room make demonstrations with the more delicate apparatus possible. A permanent screen and rolling blinds operated by a motor facilitate illustration by lantern. The cabinet rooms adjoining the lecture room are supplied with apparatus suitable for illustration and demonstration, and are provided with conveniences for preparing apparatus for lectures.

The general laboratory is a room sixty feet square and is well lighted and ventilated. It is supplied with tables, shelves, and sinks, arranged for general experimental work. The cabinet room adjoining this laboratory contains the apparatus designed for elementary experimental work.

The small laboratories, six in number, are on the first floor, and are abundantly provided with masonry piers, wall shelves, sinks, dark curtains, etc. They contain a line of high-grade apparatus for advanced experimental work and research. The electrical measurement apparatus is especially complete, and there is an excellent line of apparatus from the best makers for the fundamental measurements in mechanics, heat, and light.

The constant-temperature room is on the first floor. It is isolated from the surrounding space by double masonry

walls and double doors. It is arranged for such experiments as require a low, uniform temperature.

The department has a mechanician and well equipped workshop. This gives facilities for making apparatus from original designs for the general work of the department, and also for special investigations and research.

In addition to the preceding, there are a number of private studies and laboratories for the use of advanced students and instructors.

THEORETICAL AND APPLIED MECHANICS

The courses in theoretical and applied mechanics are designed to meet the needs of students of the College of Engineering. The laboratory of applied mechanics was burned in June, 1900, and the entire equipment of the materials laboratory and the hydraulic laboratory was destroyed. It is expected that a new building and new equipment will be ready by September, 1901.
