Shop Instruction is given for its educational value. The purpose of this
Department is to train engineers, not artisans; and the claims of the shops
are not permitted to infringe on the more vital functions of the laboratories,
the drafting rooms, and the lectures.

students of mechanical and electrical engineering; 664, 665 of mechanical engineering
