The department owns a continuous steam engine indicator, apparatus for determining the effect of scale deposits on the transfer of heat through the tubes, as well as considerable apparatus designed and built for various tests of locomotives in actual service. The New York Air Brake Company has recently presented to the department a complete equipment of automatic air-brakes for engine, tender, and five cars. The 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 will be of great value to the student.

The materials laboratory is equipped with testing machines for tension, compression, flexure, and torsion, and for testing paving brick and building materials. The hydraulic laboratory has a standpipe, pumps, water motors, measuring pits, Venturi meters, weir conduits, meter rating conduit, orifice boxes, weir boxes, and apparatus for experimental work on flow of water through pipes, hose, and nozzles. The University water-works furnishes an abundant supply of water at pressures up to 100 lbs. per sq. in. 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 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 LABORATORY AND EQUIPMENT The physics department occupies, in Engineering Hall, a lecture room, with seats for 180 students; four adjoining rooms, for lecture apparatus and preparation; a general laboratory room 60 feet square, for first year experimental work; an adjoining apparatus room; six small laboratories on the first floor with masonry piers, a constant temperature room, a battery room, a work shop, and three offices for instructors. These rooms are supplied with gas, water, compressed air, vacuum pipes, polyphase, alternating and direct electric currents, and other facilities for instruction and investigation in physics. The laboratory contains a large collection of standard electrical and magnetic measurement apparatus from the best makers, together with various pieces and devices designed and constructed in the department. In optics there are spectrometers, Rowland diffraction gratings (plane and concave), a Fresnel optical bench, a complete photometer bench in a well-equipped dark room, a spectrum photometer, polarization apparatus, etc. The collection also includes apparatus for measurements of precision, such as balances, dividing engines, cathetometer, chronograph, Kater's pendulum, thermometers, etc. The work shop of the department is equipped with power lathe, milling machine and a good collection of tools. The services of a mechanician give the department facilities for making apparatus from original designs, both for instruction and investigation. COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AIMS AND SCOPE The College of Science is based upon the idea that the methods of science and the branches of study to which those methods are applicable, present a subject-matter and a discipline suited to the purposes of a liberal education, and that an education so derived differs materially in character and value from one whose substance is mainly literary. This College is distinguished in general from the technical colleges of the University by the fact that its choice of subjects is not limited by practical ends, and from the College of Literature and Arts by the predominance, in its courses and requirements, of the strictly scientific subjects. It is articulated with the latter, however, by the liberal elections from the literary courses permitted to students who have satisfied its demands as to scientific work, and by the special courses in science open to election by students from the companion College. ORGANIZATION OF SUBJECTS The offerings of this College include three groups of subjects: prescribed, major electives, and general electives. The prescribed subjects are required of all students unconditionally; the major electives are to be chosen from a considerable list of courses in the subjects most characteristic of the work of the College; and the general electives are taken, subject to the approval of the Dean, from any courses offered by the University. The subjects offered are further combined in various courses, making somewhat different graduation require ( 101 ) |
