For the use of students in this school, a commodious Drawing Hall

has been fitted up, and ample collections of Field Instruments, and
of Models illustrating the principles of Hydraulic, Architectural and
Mechanical Engineering, have been provided. These models, of admirable
workmanship, were constructed for the University in the
widely known establishment of Schröder, of Darmstadt, Germany.

of Roads, Drainage and Irrigation, General Theory of
Building, embracing: Building Materials, Framing, Masonry, Foundations,
Flooring, Roofing, Elementary Principles of the Strength of
Materials and their application in practice, Construction of Simple
Wooden Bridges, Rural Architecture, Machinery, Transmission and
Change of Motion, General Theory of Agricultural Implements and
