Drawing 3. [Thornton and West].
The Junior course in Drawing furnishes striking illustrations of
the power of the graphical method in achieving easy and rapid solutions
of problems, before which analytical methods are comparatively
impotent. The work is organized as in the other courses; one hour
of lecture and eight hours of practice. In the Fall Term a series of
problems in the Strength of Materials is given for graphical solution.
The Winter Term is devoted to the analysis of high masonry dams,
retaining walls, continuous girders and trusses, masonry and reenforced
concrete arches, and like problems of Structural Drawing. The
Spring Term concludes the course with a series of plates on Shades
and Shadows, and Linear Perspective.
