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 more vital functions of the laboratories, the
drafting rooms, and the lectures.

engineering students only.
