Text Books.— Notes of the Professor.

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 Machines,
