The studies of this First Year are designed to embrace those disciplines
which are most necessary for the young engineer, whether he stand at the
beginning of professional study or at the beginning of practical life. The
student, who completes them creditably, can draw respectably, handle a field
instrument with intelligence and accuracy, keep his notes properly, and
execute a decent map, the tasks ordinarily confided to assistant engineers.
