SHOP-WORK.
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 truly vital functions of the laboratories,
the drafting rooms, and the lectures. [Hancock and Assistants.]
