Equipment.
A modern school of engineering needs ample material equipment
for the work of instruction. It must have not only
laboratories of chemistry and physics and geology and
mineralogy; but a sufficient outfit of field instruments; of shops
and tools for work in wood and in metals; of testing machines
for all sorts of structural materials; of apparatus for hydraulic
measurements; of boilers and engines and appliances for testing
the same; and of electric apparatus and dynamos and motors
for both direct and alternating electric currents. In all those
departments the University of Virginia is well furnished; richly
furnished, indeed, in proportion to the number of its engineering
students. Witness the large provision made in the tabulated
programme above for work in engineering practise. The apparatus,
instruments, and machines are new and of the best
construction, and annual additions are made to the equipment.
