This collection is stored in a fire-proof apartment, and it is hoped
that Friends and others will deem it a secure place to deposit books

connection with the history of the Society. Such contributions are
solicited, and should be addressed to " Friends' Historical Library,

Literary Societies are maintained by the students. There are

Their Libraries, under their own management, contain over two thousand volumes, and are accessible to all of the College students.

Included in the work of this department is a course in the
Mechanic Arts, in which regular and systematic instruction is given by
skilled instructors in the use of tools and machinery, and in processes.
Patterns are made by the students, from their own designs and drawings, of machines or parts of machines, and the castings are made,
properly fitted together, and finished according to the drawings.
The Draughting Rooms are lighted from the north, are furnished with adjustable tables, models, etc., are well ventilated and
warmed, and are open for work during the greater part of the day.
The Engineering Laboratory contains an Olsen's testing
machine, arranged for tensile, compressive and transverse tests, a steam
engine director, and other valuable appliances. It includes several
shops, in which the students become familiar with the nature and properties of the materials of construction (iron, wood, brass, etc.) employed
by the engineer, and with the processes of working them into the desired forms for their intended uses.

They

consist of

The Machine Shop, containing an excellent and complete

including 4 screw-cutting engine lathes, 3 speed-lathes

(simple and back-geared), an iron planer, a complete universal milling

is

the study of Classical

Antiquity, including the language and literature of the Greeks and

Romaps, with their art, philosophy, religion, and political and social

Combined with this are courses in Modern Languages,

While this course affords that broad culture which should be the
foundation of any subsequent career, it may be made to afl^ord special
preparation for Law or Journalism by including electives in History
and Political Economy, or it may be shaped in the direction of Medicine by choosing electives in Biology and Chemistry.
