Summer Classes in Mathematics and Engineering—1892.
The classes in these subjects will be continued during the
coming summer vacation. Work will begin July 15th and end
August 30th. The following regular courses are offered. In
each three lectures a week are given with associated practical

to the construction of Roads and Railways. The text-book used

4. A course in Mechanics and Strength of Materials,
given by lectures with associated exercises in drawing and design.
Collateral reading is assigned in Burr's Elasticity and Resistance
of Materials and DuBois's Strains in Framed Structures.
In addition to the above regular courses a limited number of
students will be received for special work, either of a more elementary
or of a more advanced character. As the number thus
taken is necessarily small, applications should be made promptly.

Board can be had at prices varying from $15 to $25 a month according
