Sophomore Drawing: Practice Courses. [Thornton and Assistant.]

The work of the course is the execution each week of a plate 15″ by
20″, under the direction of a competent instructor. The problems assigned
are such as serve to illustrate the topics discussed in the associated
lecture-courses and develop power in the use of graphical methods. Each
student is required also to trace a certain number of his plates, to make

blue prints from his tracings, and to use the planimeter for the mensuration
of areas and volumes bounded by curved lines and surfaces. 12-2, T. Th. S.
