Second Term-Descriptive Geometry, Isometric Drawing, etc.
Third Term-Astronomy, Shades, Shadows, and Perspective.

SECOND YEAR.

First Term-Locating and Constructing Roads, Railroads, etc.

Second Term-Mahan's Civil Engineering, Strength of Materials, etc., Geodesy.
Third Term-Bridges and Bridge-Drawing, Stone-cutting, Walls, Arches, etc.

Text-Books.-The works of Loomis on Algebra, Geometry, and Astronomy. In parts of the course, works by Davies, Warren, Church, Gillespie, Mahan, Haupt, Worthen, and others.

The parts of Chemistry, Physics, and Geology especially pertaining to Civil Engineering are studied under the direction of the professors in those departments.

In addition to the use and study of the text-books, the students are taught and practiced in the use of various astronomical and engineering instruments-the level, the transit, the plane-table, the sextant, the globes. They have practical field-work throughout the year, excepting only when the inclemency of the weather does not admit of it. The work consists in taking difference of level, running lines, measuring horizontal and vertical angles, determining the variation of the magnetic needle, finding the latitude by the pole-star and by meridian altitudes of the same; in fine, every variety of appropriate work which can be executed, is regularly, systematically, and thoroughly done.

There will be, in addition, an advanced course in Mechanics, comprising one year of laboratory work in the Mechanics of Solids, Liquids and Gases, Strength of Materials, Elements of Machine, etc., combined with the study of Statics and Dynamics, and including the last year of the course in Physics.

Throughout the whole course, the work will be very largely done in the laboratory, and opportunity will be afforded for special study in any direction coming within the range of the department.

Text Books.-Deschanel's Physics, Todhunter's Mechanics, Stewart's Heat, Maxwell's Theory of Heat, Pickering's Physical Manipulations, Kohlrausch's Physical Measurements.

II. CHEMISTRY.

All students who wish to obtain a degree are required to study Chemistry for one year. During this year General Chemistry, together with its most important applications to the arts, is taught by the use of text-books and of lectures, illustrated by an

ever-growing collection of the materials used in manufactures, and by a very complete suite of experiments.

At the end of the year, those who desire to devote special attention to Chemistry enter the analytical laboratory, where they can carry on their work for two years or

more.

The course in Analytical Chemistry provides full instruction in all departments of the science. In connection with the ordinary work of Qualitative Chemistry, the student is taught the use of the spectroscope, and of the blow-pipe in Determinative Mineralogy. He is also employed in making various compounds, and, if his time permits, studies exhaustively one or more of the elements and its important compounds.

The course in Quantitative Chemistry includes both the gravimetric and volumetrio methods. The analyses are at first confined to those compounds whose structure is known, and afterwards extended to such bodies as the student may require in the special oranch of the science to which he desires to devote himself. Opportunity is offered for the study of coals, minerals, fertilizers, soils, or of the useful and waste products in manufactures.

If the student desires, he will also be assisted in taking up in detail topics which relate to Agriculture, to Pharmacy, to Medicine, and to other sciences, or to arts in which the principles of chemistry are applied.

A summary of the course is given below:

GEOLOGY AND PALEONTOLOGY.

In the required course which all regular students are obliged to complete before entering on the work of the schools, one term is given to each of the two subjects, Physical Geography and Elementary Geology.

For further study in this department, a knowledge of the elements of Chemistry and Physics is necessary. It is, therefore, required, that students shall complete the study of these subjects in the required course before entering upon advanced work in Geology.

FIRST YEAR.

First Term-Lithological and Historical Geology, including the Elements of Paleontology.

Second Term-Geology of Ohio.

Third Term-Historical Geology and Paleontology completed.

SECOND YEAR.

First Term-Economical Geology: Building-stones, Limes, and Cements.
Second Term-Economical Geology continued: Fire-clays, Petroleum, and Salt.
Third Term-Relations of Geology to Soils and Water Supply.

Instruction in this department is given by lectures, text-books, and field practice. The subject of Lithological Geology is taken up in lectures. The student is taught to recognize, promptly and certainly, at least twenty species of the minerals most commonly met with, and also ten to fifteen of the rock formations that are most abundant. The chemical composition of minerals and rocks is discussed, and such of the students as are working in the chemical laboratory are expected to make qualitative and, if possible, quantitative analyses of some of the specimens which they meet with in their geological study.

Stratigraphical Geology is taught by field practice and lectures. The student is made thoroughly acquainted with the various rock exposures that are readily accessible from Columbus, and is taught how to recognize in the field, and how to represent in sections and upon maps, the various facts with which he meets.

The orderly series of Ohio formations gives but little opportunity to observe and determine the "dip" of strata, and none to investigate the phenomena of “faults,” which make so important an element in geological work generally. These subjects, therefore, are treated of in lectures.

The Geology of Ohio is also taught in lectures. The museum of the College contains every thing necessary to make the student familiar with our geological scale in all its essential elements.

In Historical Geology generally, Dana's Manual is used as a text-book, the recitations in it being interspersed with lectures whenever particular subjects seem to require fuller treatment than the text-book furnishes. In Paleontology enough is done to enable the

student to determine the general geological horizon or any field. The characteristic fossils of the various periods are studied until they have become easily recognizable. Text-books and Works of Reference.-Dana's Manual of Geology, Jukes' Manual of Geology, Lyell's Student's Elements of Geology, Lyell's Principles of Geology (11th edition), Nicholson's Manual of Paleontology, Geological Reports of Ohio and other States, Bischof's Chemical Geology.

ZOOLOGY AND COMPARATIVE ANATOMY.

Two courses of study are offered in this department-one in Zoölogy, and one in Anatomy and Physiology.

Second Term-Echinoderms, Worms.

Third Term-Colenterata, Polystomata, Protozoa.

The first year of this course is devoted entirely to the Vertebrates, their Anatomy, Classification, Distribution, etc. The first term of the second year is given largely to the study of the structure and life-history of Insects; the second term is in great part spent upon the Parasitic Worms-a group of organisms of great interest, both scientifically and practically. The work of this year is performed chiefly in the Laboratory. No special text-book is used. The following are some of the books of reference accessible to the student: Owens' Anatomy of Invertebrates, Huxley's Anatomy of Invertebrates, McCalister's Invertebrate Morphology, Siebold's Anatomy of Invertebrates, Rolleston's Forms of Animal Life, Packard's Guide to the Study of Insects, Dana's Crustacea, Cobbold's Entozoa, Woodward's Mollusca, Dana's Zoöphyta, Pritchard's Infusoria, Wallace's Geographical Distribution of Animals.

COMPARATIVE ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY.

FIRST YEAR.

First Term-Anatomy, Human and Comparative.
Second Term-Anatomy, Human and Comparative.
Third Term-Microscopy and Histology.

SECOND YEAR.

First Term-Physiology: Recitations.

Second Term-Physiology: Recitations.

Third Term-Physiology: Recitations.

This course, while intended for general students also, is especially adapted to the wants of young men who look towards the profession of medicine and surgery, either Human or Veterinary. The work of the first two terms of the first year is largely performed in the dissecting room, and in the study of the admirable models of the human body, made by Auzoux, of Paris. Mivart's Anatomy is used as a text-book. The third term is spent in the Laboratory, over the microscope. Shäffer's practical Histology is

used as a hand-book. The second year is spent in the study of Foster's Text book of Physiology. It is to be hoped that before long a part of this year may be spent in Laboratory work.

The following, amongst others, are books accessible to the student: Owen's Anatomy of Vertebrates, Huxley's Anatomy of Vertebrates, Cuvier's Anatomie Compareé, Flower's Osteology, Parker's Monograph of the Shoulder-Girdle, Parker on the Skull, Cuvier's At las of Myology, Milne-Edwards's, Flint's, Carpenter's, and Küss's Physiology, Stricker's, Frey's, Beale's, Kolliker's, and Rutherford's Histology, Foster's Practical Physiology, Foster, Klein, and Brunton's Hand-Book for the Physiological Laboratory.

The department is also open to special students who desire to pay particular attention to any one subject, for the study of which they are prepared. Students who desire to acquire a thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the domestic animals, will have the use of the dissecting-room, which will be kept supplied with material. Chauveau's Anatomy of the Domestic Animals is used as a manual. Special facilities are afforded young men who desire to read Human Anatomy before entering upon the work of the dissecting-room in the Medical School. Gray's Anatomy is used as a text-book.
