is especially intended to give a good preparation to
those students who are expecting to become either Civil or Mechanical
Engineers.
The studies and exercises are so arranged that its graduates will be prepared to become immediately useful in the office, works,
or field, in subordinate positions, and^ after a fair amount of such practice, to design and to take charge of important works.
The College is well provided with the necessary field instruments,
and each student is made familiar with their uses and management, by
practical work in the field, carefully planned to illustrate the actual
practice of the engineer.

is large, well lighted, warmed, and ventifurnished with adjustable tables, models, drawings, etc.
The Mechanical Laboratory contains an Olsen's testing machine, arranged for tensile, compressive and transverse tests, and an
excellent and complete assortment of tools, including screw-cutting
engine lathes, speed-lathes, (simple and back-geared), an iron planer,
a complete universal milling machine, a shaper, a twist' drill grinder,
an upright drill, emery grinder, etc., besides forges, and the many
necessary small tools.
Additions are constantly being made to this
collection, as they are needed, either by manufacture in the laboratory
or by purchase. Power is furnished by a four-horse power engine and
boiler, the former fitted with an approved indicator, and the latter
with the necessary attachments for determining its efficiency, etc.
Regular and systematic instruction is given in the use of tools, machinery, and processes.
Patterns are made by the students from their
own designs and drawings, of machines, or parts of machines, and the
castings are made and properly fitted together and finished according
to the drawings.
Although, as above stated, the course is especially intended for those
who expect to become Engineers, such portions of it as may be pursued with advantage by others, whose time is limited and who do not
intend to graduate, are open to them.

The details of the course vary somewhat from year to year, but, in
general, are represented by the following arrangement of the studies :
—
Freshman Year. A course of recitations and lectures on the mechanics of solids, liquids, and gases, is given during the first half of
the year, followed by Physics (see page i8) during the second half.
The Elements of Draughting, including the use of instruments, India
ink and colors, followed by Elementary Projections, Elements of Structures, Shades and Shadows, and Isometrical Drawing, are taught as a
required exercise to the Scientific Section of the class, and are elective for others. At the same time a more extended course in the same,
with recitations, and the construction in wood and metal of models
of the more difficult drawings is required of the Engineering students
only.
This
is
followed by Surveying with the Chain and Compass, in the
Spring.
—
Sophomore Year. Analytical Mechanics of Solids and Fluids is
taught as a required study to the Scientific Section of the class, and as
an elective to others, during the second half of the year.
Descriptive Geometry, including Shades, Shadows, and Perspective^
careful construction of the more important problems, is required of Engineering Students, and is elective for others.
It is. followed in the Spring by Land Surveying, with Field Practice and Map
Drawing. Instruction in the use of tools is begun, and Models illustrative of the problems in Descriptive Geometry are required to be
and the
made.
—
Junior Year. The Junior and Senior Classes are united during
the remainder of the course, thus forming one Engineering Class, and
the remaining studies and exercises of the course are so distributed as
to occupy the two years, they being repeated during alternate years.
The details are given under Senior Year.

LIBRARIES.
The General Library destroyed by the fire, contained upwards of
3600 volumes of works generally selected by the Professors and Instructors at the heads of the various departments of study, and it was in
consequence a valuable working collection.

of the present college year, and be catalogued and arranged in the new
Library Room during the summer preparatory to the opening of the
new
year.
Friends' Historical Library of Swarthmore, founded by Anson Lapham, was not destroyed. It contains a small but increasing collection
of Friends' books, photographs of representative Friends, and manuscripts relating to the Society and its history, and is at all times accessible to teachers, students, and members of the household.
