Drawing 1. [Thornton and Hancock].
The Freshman course combines instruction in Mechanical Drawing
and Shop-Work, the exercises begin so correlated that the student
acquires at the same time the elementary technique of Engineering
Drafting and the essentials of accuracy, neatness, and dexterity best
gained by carefully directed practise in the use of hand and machine
tools. Every exercise in the shops is the reproduction of a drawing
already worked out by the student himself at the drawing board.
Three periods a week of three hours each are assigned to this course;
two periods being given to Drawing and one to Shop-Work. The
exercises in the drafting room include free-hand and mechanical lettering,
elementary graphics, projection drawing, machine drawing,
and tracing and blue-printing. The shop exercises include benchwork
in wood and in metals, wood-turning, and work in wood and
metals with machine tools.
