Si an approved Examination in the stu.es presenbed fo
the Course For the first two years the studies in all of he
Decree Courses (which" are the same as those pursued in the
Freshman and Sophomore Classes of other Colleges) are iden-
tical e'xeept that students in the Departments of Agriculture,
Engineering and Science, may, if they prefer, substitute the
Modern Languages (French and German) for Latin and Greek.
Havino- completed the studies prescribed lor these two years,
the student may select either of. the Regular Degree Courses.
j i._-Course ix Agriculture.

i The des ig n of this Course is -to furnish the student with a
\ plan of study especially adapted to the wants of those who
i propose to devote themselves to Agricultural pursuits ; not so
much by training in the practical processes of the Farm, as

[>.

by affording instruction in the principles of correct husbandry.,
and in those sciences which relate particularly to the cultiva-
tion of .. the soil.

The Course requires four years for its completion, the first
two years, however, being devoted to studies which are com-
mon to the Literary Course, excapt that students who propose
to take the Course in' Agriculture may, if they prefer, sub-
stitute the Modern for the Ancient Languages.

Having gone through this course of study, which is thought
to be essential to' a liberal education for any of the practical
pursuits of life, the student is prepared to enter upon the
technical studies in the course, which occupy the remaining
two years. These technical studies embrace the following
subjects:

1. Mechanics and Physics, in which the class makes three
weekly recitations during the first year.

2. Botany, two recitations weekly the Spring terms of the
first and second years.

3. Descriptive Astronomy and Meteorology, three recitations
weekly during the second year.

4. Geology and Mineralogy, tlje first three and the secpnd
two recitations weekly during the second year.

5. Zoology and Entomology, three recitations, weekly,
throughout the second year.

6. Agricultural Chemistry, with practical instruction in
quantitative and qualitative analysis of soils and fertilizers,
to which two hours a/e devoted daily throughout the first

year.

7 Vegetable Physiology, embracing the structure and habits
of plants, and their relations to the soil and the atmosphere,
occupying two recitations weekly throughout the first year.

8. Cattle Feeding, embracing the principles of animal
nutrition, the chemical and economical value of feeding stufts;
two recitations weekly during the Spring term of the first*
year.

9. Practical Husbandry, embracing the subjects of soils,
their cultivation, fertilization, drainage and irrigation; Farm
Crops; Farm Implements and Machinery; Farm Animals;
Fruit Culture ; Market Gardening; Horticultural and Land-
scape Gardening; in which instruction is given daily by raxt
books and lectures during the entire course of two years, f

For the purpose of illustrating and exemplifying the prin-
ciples taught in the text books and lectures, the College is
furnished with the following appliances: .

1. An extensive Mineralogical and Geological Cabinet, and
Museums of Natural History and Agriculture.

2. A commodious Laboratory, supplied with troughs, fur-
naces, balances, and the necessary chemicals and apparatus for
making analyses. • <♦

8. An Experimental Farm of Twenty Acres, devoted to
soil tests of fertilizers and experiments in the cultivation of
field crops, grasses, fruits and flowers, under the supervision
of the Professor of Agriculture.

, In addition to the technical studies embraced in this Course,
.the Class in Agriculture is required to make three recitations
weekly in Political Economy, during the Spring term of the
second year ; and also to attend lectures weekly upon Consti-
tutional Law and the Law of Contracts, Conveyancing, and
Landlord and Tenant, in which it is designed to furnish such

instruction as will be of service to the practical agriculturist.

II. — Couese in Engineering.

This Course extends the Scientific Course in Applied Math-
ematics, and embraces full instruction in regard to the con-
struction of common roads, pikes, railroads, bridges, canals,
improvements of rivers, harbors, mining, &c.

In aid of the practical studies of the College, and as a means
of familiarizing students with the actual details of work, the
First and Second Classes in Engineering may, at the discretion
of the Professor of Engineering, and under his supervision,
make visits of inspection to machine shops, mills, mines,

furnaces, and engineering constructions within convenient
reach.

The Senior Class of the Engineering Course, is organized
as an Engineering Corps, and goes through all the necessary-
operations for the construction of a railroad from Auburn to
some selected terminus.

Preliminary study of maps.

Reconnoissance.

Running Preliminary lines.

Maps and Memoirs of same.

Final location of road; Grades and Curves.

Final Maps, showing Longitudinal and Cross Sections,
Excavations, &c.

The Field Work and Office Work, including Drafting and
Calculation, are performed under the direction of the Profes-
sor. Each step is accompanied by text book study and lec-
tures. Examinations ^re made of Engineering works in the
vicinity, and written reports upon them (with drafts) are re-
quired. Both theory and practice are thoroughly taught.

The work in this Course begins with the first Collegiate
term.

The Course in Drawing extends through four years. Dur-
ing the first year the students practice linear and freehand
drawing. In the second year the elementary principles of
instrument drawing, embracing a course of orthographic and
isometrical projections, shades and shadows, structural draw-
ing and topographical delineation, are taught. This course
is obligatory on the students of all the Courses, except the
Course in Literature.

During the third and fourth years, instruction in drawing
is obligatory only on the students in Engineering. In the
former year the system of instruction embraces orthographic
projections, isometric drawing, shades and shadows, tinting in
India ink and colors, the practice of drawing in sketches of
tools, the finished work of machines, bridges- and other
structures. In the last, or fourth year of the Course m

20 Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Engineering, the indents are taught perspective. They then
cease to draw for mere practice, and use their graphical .skill
in machine construction, in making drawings of works visited
in excursions to mines, furnaces, water, gas and railway
structures. Plans, profiles and sections of railroad surveys
complete the course.

Drawing Instruments. — The instruments used at the Col-
lege are the Swiss, which are preferred for their general
excellence and moderate cost. The instruments, with the
materials for geometrical and topographical drawing, cost from
ten to twenty-five dollars. The student is advised to defer
his purchase of drawing instruments and material until he
comes to the College, when he will have the advantage of
procuring them under the direction of the Professor of
Drawing.

The Drawing Room is fitted up with all necessary arrange-
ments A full set of geometrical models is provided. A
large number of photographs, lithographs and manuscript
drawings— English, German ami French— have been im-
ported. They illustrate the following subjects: General De-
scriptive Geometry, Linear Perspective, Shades, Shadows,
and Reflections, Masonry and Stone Cutting, Girders and
Trusses of Wood and Iron; Furnaces, Boilers, Eailroad
Shops, Depots, Offices, Machines, and their details, shown in
the conventional colors used in France and Germany.

A selection of portfolios in landscape, figure and classic
subjects, and casts from the gallery of the Louvre in Paris, is
calculated to meet the wants of students desiring to pursue a
full course in freehand drawing.

Students who propose to make Mining a specialty will
receive special instructions in the three fundamental branches
of the Art-mining, preparation of ores, and their metal
lurgical treatment.

Considerable attention will also be paid to Geology and
Mineralogy with Blow pipe analysis, character of veins and
methods for successfully searching for all varieties of ore
deposits.

Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College. 21

An ample collection of minerals is provided, comprising all
species with which the Mining Engineer should be familiar,
and to tins, students have constant access. The geology of
Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina, where mining is con-
ducted to any extent, is well represented in the Mineralogical
Cabinet. ^

• A student who proposes to take the degree of Civil and
Mining Engineering must continue a course of study at least
one year longer, under a schedule prescribed by the Faculty.
He must exhibit satisfactory evidence of his power to apply
effectually by actual work the knowledge he has attained.

III. — Course in Literature.

This is the usual A. B. Course of American Colleges, and
the plan of study is substantially the same as that required
for this Degree in the best literary institutions of the country.
It embraces a thorough course of the Latin and Greek Lan-
guages, running through the entire four years ; the study of
English in its linguistic elements, as well as its Literature,
including Ehetoric and Logic; History, Ancient and Modern;
Philosophy, Mental, Moral and Political ; Mathematics, Pure
and Applied ; and Natural Sciences, including Chemistry, Bot-
any, Astronomy, Geology and Physics.

IV.-— Course in Science.

faculty for Commencement.

PECIAL INFORMATION.

Department of military Science and Tactics.

By the act of Congress for the endowment of Agricultural
and Mechanical Colleges, in prescribing the required*studies,
the words "including military tactics" are used. The act is
designed to be faithfully carried out, by imparting to each
student, not physically incapacitated to bear arms, practical
instruction in the school of the soldier, of the company, and
of the battalion. The duties of guards, outpost and picket
service, are practically taught. The College is provided, by
the State, with breech -loading cadet rifles, swords, and accou-
trements. ':.••

The following uniform has been prescribed for dress, viz. :
Frock of Cadet grey, three rows of College buttons; grey
pants and cap ; trimmings black. A very neat and service-
able dress suit can be obtained here, not to exceed $25, and a
fatigue suit, not to exceed $18 ; sufficient, with proper care,
for one year's service. This is less expensive than the usual
clothing. All students are required to wear this uniform at
all times during the term. ,

The drills are short, and the military duty involves no
hardship. The military drill is health-giving exercise, and its
good effects in the development of the physique and improve-
ment of the carriage of the Cadet is manifest.

The entire body of students is divided into companies. The
officers are selected for proficiency in drill and deportment.
Each Company is officered by one Captain, one 1st Lieutenant
one 2nd Lieutenant, with a proper number of Sergeants and
Corporals. The officers and non-commissioned officers are
distinguished by appropriate insignia of rank. These ap-
pointments are conferred by the Faculty on nomination of

30 % Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Commandant, and are continuous unless forfeited by mis-
conduct.

Free Tuition.

The ^Trustees have authorized the Faculty to admit all
Cadets free of tuition. This is not limited to residents of
this State. No charge is made for instruction. An incidental
fee of seven and a half dollars per term is made for servants'
attendance in building, fuel, ordinary repairs, and use of
instruments.

A fee of two and a half dollars per term is paid to the
Surgeon by each Cadet for medical services. Upon gradua-
tion a fee of five dollars will be required for a diploma. No
other College fees are required.

Session Records and Circulars.

Daily records of the various exercises of the classes are
kept by the officers of instruction in a form adapted to perma-
nent preservation. From thiiPrecord a circular or statement
is sent to the parents or guardian every two months.

Examinations.

There shall be a written or oral examination of the studies
passed over at the end of each term.

Special examinations shall only be held by order of the
Faculty.

A general yearly average of 70 (the maximum mark being
100) in scholarship will be required to pass a student from
any class to the next higher, and if a mark less than 60 is
attained in any study, he shall, in addition, be required to
pass another examination in that study at the beginning of
the ensuing session, before being allowed to pass up; and if
found deficient on account of neglect of study, he may be
dismissed.

It is particularly required that every student who enters
the College shall remain through the examination at the end
of the term. Leaves of absence and honorable discharges
will, therefore, not be granted within six weeks of the exam-
ination, except in extreme cases.

Alabama Ayricuilural and Mechanical College. 31

Examinations for Degrees or Certificates of Proficiency
embrace in their scope the entire subject of study in the

course.

Discipline.

Military Science and Tactics are required to be taught in
this Institution, both by law of Congress and by act of the
State Legislature. The discipline is modeled after that of
the best military schools. The government of the College is
administered by the President, Commandant and Faculty,' in
accordance with the Code of Laws and Regulations enacted
by the Trustees and published; each student upon matricula-
tion being furnished with a copy.

The strictest attention to study, and the most exact punc-
tuality in attendance on recitations, and all other duties, will
be made the condition of every student's continuance at the

College. . .

Students are prohibited from having in their possession
ammunition, weapons, or arms not issued for the performance
of military duty.

Religious Services.

Religious services are held every morning in the Chapel.

The students are required to attend these exercises, and
also to attend the church of their choice at least once on
Sunday. Opportunities are also offered for attending Bible

Clas-es every Sunday. • „ . . v „a

By statute of the State the sale of spirituous liquors .and

keeping of gaming saloons of every kind within five miles of

Auburn are forbidden. , . . -,

The College will be carefully preserved from the control or

domination of any party or sect in religion or politics.

Location and Building.

laneous works, and a reading room. Their weekly exercises
add to the facilities afforded by the College for practice in
composition, elocution and discussion.

Society of Alumni.

The annual Alumni Oration, by a member of the Society,
is delivered in the Chapel, Monday evening of Commencement
week.

Young Men's Christian Association.

This Association comprises the students who arc members
of churches. Its object is to promote the religious character
and usefulness of those connected with it. Weekly meetings
are held, and public addresses occasionally delivered.

Boarding.

Students, after selecting their boarding-houses, will not be
permitted to make changes without obtaining permission of
the Faculty, having first given two weeks' notice.

The Faculty will feel authorized to remove students from
boarding-houses when it becomes manifest that they are fail-
ing in their duties from improper associations, or for any other
reason demanding such removal.

Pareuts and guardians are advised to send all money for
payment of tuition and board to the Treasurer of the College,
with instructions for its appropriation.

Expenses.

Tuition free to all Cadets in or out of the State.

Incidental fee, per term, in advance.. $7 50

, Library fee 2 00

Surgeon fee 2 50

Board, in private families, per month $12 to 15 00

Academic Year.

The academic year, which is divided into two equal terms,
commences on the last Wednesday in September, and epds on
the last Wednesday in June following, which is Commence-
ment day. The second term begins on the second Wednesday
in February.

ISP No intermission at Christmas, except for one day ; and
parents are earnestly requested not to grant their sons per-
mission to go home at that season, except in cases of pressing
importance, as their absence seriously disarranges the exercises
of the classes, and is very disadvantageous to the youn°" men
themselves.

• PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY.

The instruction is given by regular recitations from text-books, combined with lectures, illus-
trated by experiments. The first part of the Course is occupied with Elementary Rational
Mechanics, treated graphically, avoiding, as far as possible, complex mathematical symbols.

This is followed by a full discussion of Molecular Mechanics. While due prominence is given
to principles, constant reference is made to the Applications of Science.

In the First Glass, the subjects studied are Astronomy and Mechanics. In the study of
Mechanics in this class, Mathematical Analysis is used.

entire second year is devoted to Agricultural Analysis— the first half to Qualitative and the sec-
ond half to Quantitative Analyses.

The entire third year is devoted to Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses of Minerals, Ores,
Waters, Ac. Having finished the General Course, the student is assigned to Work Table, with
Gas and Water, the necessary reagents, Ac, and required to work at least two hours per day
through the remaining years. *

Text-Books.— Church's Laboratory Guide, Caldwell's Agricultural Analysis, Mott's Manual of

Chemistry.

III.— AGRICULTURAL COURSE.

Consists of three years: 1st. General Chemistry. 2nd. Agricultural Analysis. 3rd. Agricul-
tural Chemistry.
The first and second years are the same as Scientific Course, and same text-books used.
In the third year the students pursue Chemistry in its special application to Agriculture.
Text-Books.— How Crops Grow (Johnson), How Crops Feed (Johnson).

MATHEMATICS.

PROFESSOR SMITH.

The general course for the first two years embraces, the first year, Algebra and Geometry, six
books; second year, Solid and Spherical Geometry, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, Survey-
ing, Mensuration, and Simple Railway Curves.

Two objects are sought to be attained-lst. Mental discipline ; 2nd. A thorough knowledge of

the practical application of principles.

Theoretical and practical instruction is given the Third Class, in Farm, Town and Government
Land Surveying, Dividing Land, Mapping, Plotting and Computation of Areas; in Section,
Cross-Section Leveling, Setting Slope Stakes, Computation of Earth Work; in Running out Sim-
ple Curves ; also, in the Theory, Adjustment and use dTlnstrumente.

The Class, in sections of six or eight, devote three afternoons a week, during the second term,
to Field Practice, with Compass, Transit, Level, Chain and Rod. Maps, Plans and Profiles of
Field Work are required in addition to regular work in Drawing. Mensuration includes an
extended course in the Measurement of Heights and Distances, Plane, Rectilinear and Curvi-
linear Figures, Surfaces and Volumes. Halstead's Metrical Geometry is made the basis of

instruction in this subject. ;

The completion of tfato Course, common to all students, lays the foundation for the Pure and
Applied Mathematics of the Mechanical and Engineering Course, and qualifies those who dlscon-
tinue the subject at this point to go into the field and -hop, and do good and useful work.

Analytical Geometry and Calculus are pursued in the Engineering Course.

Especial attention is given to their practical applications. Donng the enhre « our* instrno-
tion in text-books is supplemented by lectures.

24 Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College,

Solutions of original, practical problems are required of the student, to make him familiar
with the application of principles, to test his knowledge, and make him self-reliant and-inde-
pendent.

N. B. — Special attention is called to imperfect preparation, for admission to the Fourth Class,
in Arithmetic and Algel.ra. It is so common ps to prove a serious obstacle to progress in this
Department. The importance of thorough preparation cannot well be overestimated.

SHORT COUKSE IN AGRICULTURE.
This Course extends over two years, and dispenses with much of the preliminary instruction
of the first two years, common to both Courses. It also abridges the Laboratory work. This
Course is intended to meet the wants of a largo number of young men who propose to devote
themselves to Agricultural pursuits and have neither time nor means to take the regular Course.
Thorough instruction in practical Agriculture is given. The study of all the sciences relating
to Agriculture receive same attention as in General Course. Mathematics pursued through
Surveying, thus enabling the student not only to survey his land, but by knowledge of Leveling,
to construct terraces and ditches. In short, this Course embraces all the technical studies of the
General Course.

On its completion a student is given a Certificate of Proficiency in Agriculture, and such a
certificate makes him an Alumnus of this Institution.

EXAMINATIONS.

At the end of each term there shall be written or oral examinations, or
both, on the studies passed over during that term.

Special examinations shall only be held by order of the Faculty.

Students falling below the minimum grade at the final examinations,
can be promoted to the next higher class only on satisfactory examina-
tions at the opening of next session.

It is particularly required that every student who enters the College
shall remain through the examinations at the end of the term.. Leaves

MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY AND GEOLOGY.

Many valuable additions have been made to the various branches of this Museum within the

past few years.
Contributions have been received from different States of the Union, from England, Italy,

France and the Bermuda Islands

The Geology of Alabama is well illustrated with minerals, fossiliferoiis and non-fossiliferous
rocks from the different formations of the State. The Museum is divided into the following
departments: Mineralogies!, Conchological, Geological, Zoological and Botanical. Kach depart-
ment is systematically arranged and catalogued for study and display.

The entire collection of the Museum, added to the private Cabinet belonging to the Professor
oY Natural History, numbers more than 20,000 specimens. #

MUSEUM OF MECHANIC ARTS.

Some progress has be»n made in establishing a Museum of Mechanic Arts. Already there has
been collected a number of the products of manufacture, giving excellent illustrations of various
branches of industry. It is proposed to make this au important feature in the College, by exhib-
iting, as far as possible, the various processes and products of manufacture.

MUSEUM OF AGRICULTURE.

The Agricultural Museum is intended to illustrate, as far as possible, the agricultural products
of this and other countries. It now contains nearly 1,000 specimens, obtained by donations and
by a system of exchanges with other Agricultural Colleges, illustrating. varieties of Soil, Cotton*
Wheat, Oats, Corn, Peas, Grasses, Ac.

CHEMICAL LABORATORY.

The Ohdmical Laboratory is admirably fitted up for work in analysis. It consists of a Lecture
Boom,. furnished with counters, pneumatic trough,, gasometer and large glass case; a Work
Boom, with twenty-five tables; a Furnace Room, and a Balance Boom. All are supplied with
gas and water. Every student pursuing Analytical Chemistry is provided with a separate work
table, the necessary chemicals and apparatus, a jet of gas with Bunsen's burners, andenameled
water sinks. In the Balance Room are balances made by Oertling, of London, and Becker, of
New York. An annual fee of $10 is paid by students in the Courses of Agriculture and Science
for the use of Chemicals in the Laboratory.

. LIBRARY.

A room in the College builling is appropriated to the Library, but the number of books at
present is not large. A portion of the recent appropriation made by the State Legislature will
be used in the purchase bf books. For this purpose there is also paid a small annual fee by each
student.

The Library is open at stated times, when students are permitted to select tooks according to
regulations prescribed by the Faculty.

DISCIPLINE.

The government of the College is administered by the President and
Faculty, in accordance with the Code of Laws and Regulations enacted
by the Trustees, and furnished to each student upon matriculation.

The strictest attention to study, and the most exact punctuality in
attendance on recitations, and all other duties, will be made the condition
of every student's continuance at the College.

Students are prohibited from having in their possession weapons or
arms not issued for the performance of military duty.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES. .

Religious services are held every morning in the Chapel.

The students are required to attend these exercises, and also to attend
the church of their choice at least once on Sunday. Opportunities are
also offered for attending Bible Classes every Sunday.

LOCATION AND BUILDING.

The College is situated in the town of Auburn, sixty miles from Mont-
gomery, directly on the line of the Western Railroad.

The region is high and healthful— 821 feet above tide water.

The College building is an excellent brick edifice, with four stories,
containing, in all, thirty-eight rooms, including two well furnished
society halls, lecture rooms and offices, with Chemical Laboratory, Cab-
inets and Agricultural Museum.

By statute of the State, the sale of spirituous liquors and keeping of
gaming saloons of every kind, within five miles of Auburn, are forbidden.

APPROPRIATIONS BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

The last Legislature of the State appropriated the sum of $30,000 to
this College, to be expended in buildings, repairs, the purchase of appa-
ratus for the scientific departments, &c. Also, for the purpose of estab-
lishing an Experimental Station, to conduct experiments and illustrate
improved methods in agriculture, and to have such chemical analyses of
commercial fertilizers made as may be required, there was appropriated
to this College a portion of the amount accruing from the special tax on
all fertilizers sold in the State.

has a commodious hall, handsomely fitted up, a library of standard and
miscellaneous works, and a reading room. Their weekly exercises add
to the facilities afforded by the College for practice in composition, elocu-
tion and discussion.

These Societies hold celt- brations on the evenings of Thanksgiving Day
and the 22nd of February, and also on Monday and Tuesday evenings
during Commencement week. They elect, annually, with the approval
of the Faculty, an orator to represent them at the close of the year.

FUNDS OF STUDENTS.

The Faculty earnestly request parents and guardians to deposit with
the Treasurer of the College all funds designed for sons or wards,
whether for regular charges of College fees and board, or any other pur-
pose. It is the duty of this officer to keep safely all funds placed in his ,
hands, and to pay for all expenses incurred by students, including board,
uniform, books, &c, only when approved by the President. A monthly
statement of the receipts and expenditures will be forwarded to parents
and guardians. The Faculty cannot control expenses of students, and
should not be considered responsible for them unless parents conform to
this rule.

ACADEMIC YEAR

The Academic Year, which is divided into two equal terms, commences
on the last Wednesday in September, and ends on the last Wednesday in
June following, which is Commencement day. The second term begins
on the second Wednesday in February.

IWNo intermission at Christmas, except for one day ; and parents are
earnestly requested not to grant their sons permission to go home at that
season, except in cases of pressing importance, as their absence seriously
disarranges the exercises of the classes, and is very disadvantageous to
the young men themselves.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

The Board of Trustees, at their recent meeting in June r
having decided to devote their attention hereafter almost
exclusively to the leading object of this College, viz.: to
teach those branches "of learning pertaining to Agriculture
and the Mechanic Arts, the public are respectfully informed
that the Courses of Study have been remodeled to better
carry out that idea.

The aim of the Institution now is, to give a good scientific
and industrial education. A special Professor of Agriculture
has been added to the Faculty; the State Agricultural Ex-
periment Station has been established at the College, and the
Legislature has recently made liberal appropriations to better
fit up the Farm, and supply Scientific Apparatus, Books, &c.
Besides, the State Commissioner of Agriculture has bis-
office here.

In this day of the telegraph and telephone, the steamship
and lightning express, the world moves briskly in thought
and action; and education, to be useful, must be scientific and
practical.

A new departure has been taken. The College is now in
full sympathy with the purpose for which it was founded by
Federal and State law: to give a liberal education to the
industrial classes. It is a real Scientific and Industrial School
As such, it desires the confidence and support of the people
of Alabama, and respectfully asks their patronage.

Terms of Admission.

Candidates for admission into the Fourth Class must be of good moral character and not less thaa
fourteen years of age, and will be requlied to pass an approved examination in the following subjects.:

Geography, History of the United States. 6 «j^.mi

Ekglish,— 1. An examination upon sentences containing incorrect English.

2. A composition giving evidence of satisfactory proficiency in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and
division into paragraphs. The subject of composition for lttti-tfii will be taken from one of the follow-
ing works, Scott's Lady of the Lake, or Ivanhoe, David CoDperfleld.

Mathematics,— The whole of Arithmetic ; Algebra to Quadratic Equations, as in Olncy's Complete
Ateebra -Geometrical Drawing, as in Kitchener's Geometrical Note Book. Especial attention is catted
to imperfect preparation in Arithmetic and Algebra.

For admission to the Latin-Science Course, a satisfactory examination will be required in the fol-
owing additional subjects— Latin Grammar (Allen & Grecnough), Latin Lessons (Leigh ton's), Ceawir
i i Books.)

Entrance examinations will be hold on Monday and Tuesday preceding the opening in Septemocr.
at which all applicants should be present.

If, upon examination, an applicant should be found deficient in any of the required studies, he will
be assigned to a course of preliminary training in the Grammar School ; provided, that in no case will
an applicant be admitted whose attainments in the English branches are not such that he may, with
one year's training, be prepared for the studies of the Fourth Class.

Students are advised to enter regularly some one of the prescribed courses, but they mav, at the dis-
cretion of the Faculty, with the written approval of the parent or guardian, be assigned to selected
studies ; provided, that in no case will a student be allowed to have less than fifteen weekly recita-
tions, or equivalent work.

Students, on their arrival at Auburn, must report immediately to the President, and present their
testimonials and instructions.

After having paid their fees to the Treasurer and matriculated, they will report to the Examining
( 'ommittee, by whom they will be assigned to appropriate classes. The Commandant will furnish each
student with a copy of th3 Regulations, and assign him to his proper section and company.

No student will be admitted to recitation in any class previous to matriculation.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

For students who are not prepared for the regular College classes the Preparatory department is rogT
ularly organized under the direction of an experienced Professor. These students are subject to the
discipline and regulations of the College.

SPECIAL STUDENTS.

Students who are not candidates for a decree will be permitted to take, with the advice of the Fac-
ulty, such subjects as they may prefer, and for which they may be qualified. An opportunity will be
offered to study Greek, though this is not required for any degree, provided there is no
conflict with the prescribed schedule of recitations. The amount of Greek taught will be about
equivalent to what is found in MfcClintoh's 1st and 2nd Books.

DRAWING.

All students in the College, or the Grammar school, are required to take for two years a regular
course in drawing.

16 Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College.

The completion of this Course, common to all students, lays the foundation for the Pure and Ap-

8 lied Mathematics of the Mechanical and Engineering Course, and qualifies those who discontinue
lie subject at this point to go into the field and shop, and do good and useful work.
Analytical Geometry, Descriptive Geometry and Calculus are pursued in the Engineering Course.
Especial attention is given to their practical applications. During the entire Course instruction in
text-books is supplemented by lectures. . _ , ,. • , ... ... . .

Solutions of original practical problems arc required of the student, to make him familiar with the
application of principles, to test his knowledge, and make him self-reliant and independent.

N. B. 8pecial attention is called to imperfect preparation, for admission to the fourth Class, in
Arithmetic and Algebra. It is so common as to prove a serious obstacle to progress in this Depart-
ment. The importance of thorough preparation cannot well be overestimated.

TEXT-BOOKS.
Olney's Algebra. Wentworth's Geometry, Schuyler's Surveying, Halstead's Metrical Geometry,
Loomis' Analytical Geometry, (new edition) Warren's Descriptive Geometry,, Loomis' Calculus (new
edition).

NATURAL HISTORY.

PROFESSOR MELL. •

Geology.— This subject is studied in the Fall Term of the last year.

Special attention is given to the Geology of Alabama. The course isgiveu by text-books and Lec-
tures, illustrated by means of Diagrams, Maps and various Rocks, Fossiliferous and Non-Fossiliferous,
to be found in the Geological Cabinet. Attention is given to the nature and origin of Ore deposits,
Mineral Springs, and origin and Geological relations of Soil.

Mineralogy.— The Course is devotea to a general analysis of Crystalization, illustrated by Glass and
Wood models : and Blowpipe analysis of all the common Minerals that form the basis of our soils.

Zoology.— Those students pursuing the Agricultural Course are required to take this subject.

A systematic arrangement of the Animal Kingdom, in accordance with natural affinities, is made a
special feature.of the instruction.

BroMOLOGY.— This subject is studied after the completion of Zoology. Particular attention is given
to Insects injurious to vegetation, their habits, and the methods best adapted lor checking their rava-
ges.

Botany.— The students of the Fourth Class begin the study of Botany, and continue throughout
the term. Analytical work is made an important feature. The Class is provided with Plants from the
neighboring fields, and taught how to determine their specific names. This work is sufficiently ex-
haustive to enable the student, after completing the Course, to name, unassisted, any of the ordinary
Weeds and Grases that he will encounter in this section.

In the second Class in the Course in Agriculture and Chemistry, a sufficient amount of time is devo-
ted to Systematic and Structural Botany, and to advanced Laboratory work with the microscope, in
the preparation of specimens showing plant structure.

Meteorology.— This subject is required of all students of the First Class. The instruction is im-
parted by text-books and leetures. The system adopted by the United States Signal Service is made a
distinctive feature of the Course.

Physiology.— This topic is required of all students of the Third Class and is completed in the second
term of the session. The text is illustrated by class demonstrations and experiments.

TEXT-BOOK8.

LeConte's Geology, Dana's Geology Dana's Manual of Mineralogy, Brush's Determinate Mineralogy
and Blowpipe, Tenny's Zoology, Brooks' Hand Book of Invertebrate Zoology, Harris' Insects Injurious
to Vegetation, Packard's Insects, Bessy's Botany, Gray's Botany, A pgar's Plant Analysis, Chapman's
Flora of Southern States, Loomis' Meteorology, Martin's Human Body.

ALABAMA WEATHER SERVICE.

The United States Signal Service has established in Alabama a State Svstem for collecting meteorolo-
gical data relating to climatic changes. The service is now in successful operation with the Central
oBlce located at this Institution. Bulletins are issued at the cjose of each month, compiled from re-
ports sent the Director from numerous stations scattered throughout the State. An opportunity is
thus orrerdd tlie students in Meteorology for becoming familiar with the system so long successfully
operated by the Department at Washington.

CGI* W. LKROY BROUN, PRESIDENT.

MA.1. T. II. FllAZEK. COMMANDANT.

Military Science und Tactics are reouircd to be taught in this Institution by law. This law is faith-
fully carried out. by imparting to each student not physically incapacitated to bear arms, practical in-
struction In the School of the Soldier.^f the Company, and of the Battalion : also in. Guard Mounting.
ImmectionN. Dress Parade. Kevlews.de. The College is provided, by the State, with breceh-loading
Cadet mnskets. swords and accoutrements.

The following uniform has been prescribed for dnss. viz. : Sack coat of West Point Cadet grey : grev
pants, vest and cap : trimmings black. A very neat and serviceable dress suit can be obtained here at
nbout Mrt. This is less expensive than the usual clothing. All students are required to wear this uni^ -'
form at all times during the term.

The Drills are short, and the military duty involves no hardship. The Military Drill is a health-
giving exercise, and its good effects in the development of the physique and improvement of the car-
riage of the Cadet are manifest.

The entire body of stud' ^ts is divided into companies. The officers are selected for proficiency in
drill, deportment and studies. Each ccmprny is offcered by one Captain, one 1st. Lieutenant, and
one 2nd Lieutenant, with a proper number of Sergeants and Corporals. The officers and non-
commissioned officers are distinguished by appropriate insignia of .rank. These appointments are
conferred by the Faculty, on nomination oi the Commandant, and are continuous unless forfeited h*
absence or misconduct.

No military duty is reouircd of 'he privates of the First ( lass, except to Drill with the Battalion

The First and Second Classes recite once a week in Militarv Tactics.

POST-GRADUATE DEGREES. '

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

OBJECT OF THE COLLEGE.

The leading object of this College is to teach the principles and
the applications of science.

It does not undertake to teach any special handicraft or manual
skill in any art, but in the short time a student is under its in-
fluence, it will endeavor lo subject him to the exact and accurate
training of science discipline, giving prominence in its instruction to
the sciences and their applications so far as the facilities at its dis-
posal will permit.

The essential discipline obtained by an accurate and critical
study of languages is not neglected. All students are required to
study the English language in each course of study for a degree,
thus giving it special prominence. The Latin, French and Ger-
man languages are taught, and opportunity for their study is of-
fered to students in any course. In the Latin-Science course they
are required for a degree.

By the College thus, in fact, becoming a distinctive School of
Industrial Science, or Polytechnic Institute, work of great value
to the youth of the state may be done in fitting them by a thorough
Science-discipline for the successful and honorable performance of
the responsible duties of life.

While every attention is given to the mental discipline of the
students in endeavoring to train them to habits of accurate scientific
thought and thus qualify them for the duties of life, whatever their
vocation may be, their moral and christian training will always
constitute the prominent care and thought of the President and
Faculty. ■ - ' .

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

The courses of study include the Physical, Chemical and Natur-
al Sciences with their applications; Agriculture, Mechan : cs, As-
tronomy, Mathematics, Engineering, Drawing, English, French,
German and Latin Languages, History and Political Economy.

These studies are arranged in regular courses so as to offer a
liberal and practical education as a preparation for the active pur-
suits of life.

riculture and the Experiment Station for the state^of Alabama are
located at Auburn. The Professor of Agriculture is also Director of
the Experiment Station, and the Professor of Chemistry is State Chem-
ist whose duty it is to analyze fertilizers for the benefit of the gen-
eral agricultural interests of the state.

This public work done at Auburn in behalf of the agricultural
and industrial interests of the state affords to students an unusual
opportunity to become familiar with its agriculture, its defects and

remedies.

The Experiment Station is not a model farm, but a place where
experiments and scientific investigations in agriculture are made tit
the public expense for the common good, and where the young
men at the college receive instruction in the methods applied.

The students of agriculture accompany the professor in the field,
garden, conservatory, ^lock-yard etc., where lectures are delivered
in presence of the objects discussed.

il— IN PRACTICAL MECHANICS.

The Mechanic Art Laboratory will be used as an auxiliary in ii -
dustrial education, to instruct in the arts that constitute the founda-
tion of various industrial pursuits, and thus aid in giving mentally
and manually, in theory and practice, that sound education that will
in a measure qualify a young man to enter upon one of the associa-
ted industries; that education which comes of training the eye and
the hand as well as the mind, and tends to associate skilled
manual and mental labor. This Laboratory will be equipped and
ready for the reception of students by the opening of the next session-
It will be located in a commodious hall 90 by 50 feet, and be pro
vided with a steam engine, machines, and tools, useful for instruc-
tion.

8 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

The labor performed by the students will be instructive in charac-
ter as in any other college laboratory, and the classes will be taught
in sections under the supervision of a competent professor. There
will be no attempt to teach students skill in constructing special arti-
cles of commercial value, but all exercises will be systematically
arranged for purposes of education.

III-IN PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY,

The Chemical Laboratory is well supplied with apparatus and
facilities for instruction in Chemistry. It is provided with gas and
water, a steam boiler for heating etc. , filtering pumps and six an-
alytical balances etc., with working tables for thirty students.

It is situated in the first story of the main building and occupies
six rooms, one for special agricultural analysis, besides two
small balance rooms.

IV— IN PHYSICS.

This department is now having valuable additions made to its ap-
paratus, in Electricity, Magnetism, Heat etc. There has recently
been added a Toepler-Holtz Electric machine, Gramme ma-
chine, Rueprecht's Physical Balance, Jamin's magnets, etc.,
with the necessary apparatus for an elementary physical laboratory.

V— IN BOTANY.

Besides the preserved specimens of plants, grasses etc., this depart-
ment is provided with Auzoux's beautiful Clastic models of seeds
and flowers for teaching Botany. The Botanical Laboratory is pro-
vided with tables and ten Beck's microscopes for the use of the
students.

VI— IN -MINERALOGY AND GEOLOGY.

In this department the collections for illustration are quite exten-
sive embracing more than 20,000 specimens all well arranged in
glass cases.

VII— IN ENGINEERING, PURVEYING, ETC. , *

This department is well supplied with apparatus,, having recently
had several valuable additions n,ade to its equipment, with which
all important field work is taught.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

vm—IN DRAWING.

All the students in college are required to ta/Ke
drawing, a study which tends to discipline the mind, as well aTV
train the eye and hand to accuracy ot observation and execution.
Well lighted drawing rooms are provided with suitable tables.
For the advanced students there are individual tables adjustable
to different heights and angles of inclination.

ix-IN PRINTING AND TELEGRAPHY.

The printing office is supplied with a new Gordon Press, differ-
ent fonts of type, and stands for twelve students. In the same
room are the instruments for teaching Telegraphy.

x -MILITARY TACTICS.

Instruction in this department is given in conformity with the act
of Congress. Students receive the benefit of regular military drill,
and in addition, the military system is used as a means of enforc-
ing discipline and securing good order, promptness and regularity
in the performance of academic duties.

MANUAL LABOR

No manual labor is required of students but that which is educa-
tive in its character and is a part of the scheme of education as de-
veloped in the different laboratories of chemistry, physics, mechan-
ic arts etc. Hence there is no opportunity at this college for a
student to earn money by his labor. He should come prepared to
devote all his time and energy to his academic duties.

THE COLLEGE BUILDING.

This is a handsome well constructed brick building one hundred
and sixty by seventy-five feet, containing in all thirty-eight rooms.

This building is not used for dormitories for students, but is ex-
clusively appropriated for purposes of instruction. It contains the
lecture rooms and offices of the professors, the library, the labora-
tories, cabinets, assembly room, printing office and two large well
furnished society halls with their library and committee roo;i)3.

All the lecture rooms are provided with modern college furni-
ture.

LANGDON HALL.

This is a two story building ninety by fifty feet, recently con-
structed. The second storv is the audience hall and for com-
mencement and other public occasions.

The instruction is given by regular recitations from text- books,
illustrated by experiments. The first part ot the course is occupied
with Elementary Rational Mechanics, treated graphically, avoid-
ing, as far as possible, complex mathematical symbols.

This is followed by a full discussion of Molecular Mechanics, while
due prominence is given to principles. Constant reference is made
to the applications of science.

In the First Class the subjects studied are Astronomy and Me-
chanics. In the study of Mechanics in this class, mathematical
analysis is used.

Text-Books — Atkinson's Ganotor Daniel's Phvsics, Newcomb's
Astronomy, Peck's Mechanics.

LATIN LANGUAGE AND HISTORY

Professor Dunklin.

The subjects taught in this Department are the Latin Language
and History.

Latin.— The modes of instruction are by translation from the La-
tin texts into English, and vice versa, orally an J in writing.

A systematic course of exercises, illustrative of the principles of
Latin Etymology and Syntax, are carried on in connection with
the reading of the authors prescribed.

The progress of the student is valued not so much by the number
of books read as by his ability to read Latin, and explain the prin-
ciples of interpretation and construction.

A course in general History, ancient and modern, is given in the
Third and Fourth classes, also in Political Economy in the First
Class.

There are two courses in this department.

I, A general course. \

II. A special course in Agriculture and Chemistry.

I.— GENERAL COURSE.

This course consists of a series of lectures and recitations, extending
through the year in Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, fully
illustrated by experiments. Chemical principles are thoroughly
explained, together with their application to the various arts and
industries. Special attention is given to the composition of aoils,
fertilizers, ores and technical products. In the last half of the
session, considerable time is spent in Industrial Chemistry. All
the students oi the Third Clas* pursue this course.

Text Books, Bloxam's Chemistry, with Professor's notes.

II.-SPECIAL COURSE IN AGRICULTURE AND CHEMISTRY.

Students enter upon this course after completing the General
course of the Third Class, Two years are spent in this course;
the first in qualitative, the second in quantitative analyses. Besides
daily recitations, each student devote? at least ten hours a week to
laboratory work. He is assigned a work table, furnished with
gas, water and a full set of reagents and necessary apparatus for

general chemical work.

Accurate analyses are required and frequent determinations of

unknown compounds constitute a part of their daily work.
The First Class also pursues the study of Agricultural Chemistry,
Text Books— Junior Course in Practical Chemistry (Jones),

Church's Laboratory Guide and Bollou's Quantitative Analysis

These are well adapted to analytical work. There are six rooms
and two balance rooms. The work rooms contain thirty work
tables, each provided with gas and water facilities, a set of reagent
bottles and necessary apparatus. The lecture room is 40 by 40
feet in size, and is provided with every facility for illustrating
lectures by experiments. The furnace is supplied with a boiler,
which runs the stills, and the water and filter pumps, of the work

laboratory.

In the balance rooms are balances made by Oertling, Vferbeck,

Pickholdt, Troemner and Becker.

An annual fee of $10, for the use of chemicals in the laboratory,
is paid by students pursuing the analytical work of K the course in
Agriculture and Chemistry. .

The Commissioner of Agriculture orders the work done under 1st.,
head, the Director of Experiment Station the 2nd. while a charge
is made for the 3rd.

MATHEMATICS, f

Prof. Smith.
The general course for the first two years embraces, the first year,
algebra and geometry, six book.-; sectfnd year, solid and spheri-
cal ge< mtry. plane a'.d spherical uigonomety, surveying, mensu-
ration.

Two objects are sought to be attained — first, mental dicipliae;
second, a thorough knowledge of the practical applcations.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

Theoretical and practical instruction is given in the Third Class,
in farm, town and government land surveying, dividing land,
mapping, plotting and compulation of areas, etc., also, in the
taeory, adjustment and use of instruments.

The Class, in sections of six or eight, devote three Afternoons
a week, during the second term, to field practice, with compass,
transit, level, chain and rod. Maps, plans and profiles of field
work are required in addition to regular work in drawing. Mensu-
ration includes an extended course in measurements of heights anil
distances, plane, rectilinear and curvilinear figures, surfaces
and volumes.

The completion of this course, common to all students, lays the
foundation for the pure and applied Mathematics of the Mechan-
ical and Engineering course, and qualif es those who discontinue
the subject at this point, to go into the field and shop, and do good
and useful work.

Analytical Geometry, Descriptive Geometry and Calculus are pur-
sued in the Engineering course.

Especial attention is given to their practical applications. During
the entire course, instruction in text-books is supplemented ^by lect-

ures.

Solutions of original practical problems are required of the stu-
dent, to make him tamiliar with the application of principles, to test
his knowledge, and make him self-reliant.

TEXT BOOKS.

grams, maps, models and various rocks, fossUiferous and non-
fossiliferous, to be found in the Geological Cabinet. Attention is
given to the nature and origin of ore deposits, mineral springs,
and origin and Geological relations of s ils.

A systematic arrangement of the Animal Kingdom, in accordance
with natural affinities, is made a special feature of the instruction.

Particular attention is also given to insects injurious to vegeta-
totion, their habits, and the methods best adapted for checking their

ravages.

Botany —The student* of the Third Class begin the study of Bot-
any, and continue it through the Second Term. Analytical work is
made an important feature. The Class is provided with plants from
the neighboring fields, and taught how to determine their specific
names. The work is suffiiciently exhaustive to enable the student,
after completing the course, to name any of the ordinary weeds
and grasses that he will encounter in this Section.

In the Second Class an amount of time is devoted to systematic
and structural Botany, and to advanced Laboratory work with
the microscope | in the preparation of specimens showing plant
structure, sufficient to familiarize the students not only with
the methods of plant building and cellular organization,
but also to practice them in detecting the various forms
of fungi that are injurious to fruits and vegetables A
Biological Laboratory has been fitted up for the students,
provided with excellent microscopes of the most improved patterns,
well constructed tables, and all the necessary chemicals for prepar-
ing and mounting vegetable tissues. A dark room is attached to
this laboratory for micro-photographic work.

The teaching of Botany is greatly facilitated by the use of
Auzoux complete set of clastic models of plants, imported recently

from France.

Physiology.— This subject is taught to the students of the Fourth
Class, and is completed in the second term of the session. The text is
illustrated by models and microscopical sections projected on the
screen. A skeleton, finely articulated, has been provided
for the use of this class.

ALABAMA WEATHER SERVICE.

The United States' Signal Service has established in Alabama a
State System for collecting meteorological data relating to climatic
changes. The service is now in successful operation with the cen-
tral office located at this Institution. Bulletins are issued at the close
of each month, compiled from reports sent the Director from numer-
ous stations scattered throughout the State. An opportunity is thus
offered the students in Meteorology for becoming familiar with the
system so long successfully operated by the Department at Wash-
ington.

CIVIL ENGINEERING AND DRAWING.

Drawing in the Third and Fourth Classes, is obligatory on the
students in all the courses. In the First and Second Classes, only
the students in Mechanics and Civil Engineering are required to

draw.

The Fourth Class receives instruction in graphical drawing and el-
ementary graphical mechanics. In the Third Class, the principles
of orthographic and isometrical projections, shades and shadows and
practical perspective are taught. In the Second Class, the instruc-
tion embraces orthographic and isometrical drawing, perspective,
shades and shadows, tinting in India ink and colors, sketches of
tools and machines, plans, elevations and cross sections of buildings.

The First Class is taught perspective, topographical drawing
and drawings of machines, roofs, bridges, etc. Plans, profiles and
sections of railroad surveys, complete the instruction in this de-
partment.

The students in this department, use adjustable tables with black
walnut tops and iron stands, Schroeder's models, French, German
and American plates of roofs, bridges, masonry, tools, machines,

AGRICULTURE.

Prof. Newman,

Instruction in this department commences wi ' h the Third or Soph-
omore Class and continues through the Second and First Classes.
The subject is taught principally by lectures in which it is treated as
an applied science, making the application of the teachings of the
natural sciences to the art of agriculture, using the farm of the
Experiment Station as a laboratory for the practical illustration of
the lecture room instruction.

AGBICULTUBAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE

The classes accompany* the professor (who is also Director of the
Station), into the field, garden, orchard, vineyard, the green house
and stock yard, where lectures are delivered in the presence of the
work in progress, the objects and results of experiments explained,
the propagation, planting, pruning and cultivation of plants illus-
trated, and so far as deemed necessary for tho/ough instruction
manual labor required of the students in any and every department
of the farm. The principles of stockbreeding are taught in the lec-
ture room and the practice illustrated on the farm.

Every principle and theory taught in the lecture room will be
thoroughly illustrated and exemplified upon the farm which, within
the next twelve months, will be made complete in all its appointment *

The First Class will be required to keep accurate records of all work
done upon the farm including frequent observations of the progress
of experiments. In a word, they will be required to keep just such
records of the farm as though they were its propiietors.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION.

J. S. Newman, Director.

The State Agricultural Experiment Station is connected with the

College.

The farm of the station is adjacent to the College buildings and is
used by the professor of agriculture to -illustrate his lecture-room
instruction. Here a great variety of experiments in Agriculture,
Horticulture, stock breeding and stock feeding will serve not only
the purposesof instruction to the students but *iD afford valuable
information to the farmers of the State, many of whom already sho*
their appreciation of its work by visiting it for the purpose of in-
specting the experiments in progress.

Bulletins are issued regularly through the State Department of Ag-
riculture and widelv distributed over the State by the Commis-
sioner.

MODERN LANGUAGES AND ENGLISH LITERATURE.

Prof. Thach.

ENGLISH.

In this department the student will be carried through a sys-
tematic course of study in the English language and literature. In

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

the courses of study which do not include the ancient classics a
full course in English is especially important. It is therefore de-
signed, as much as the time allotted permits to familiarize the
student by frequent exercises with the standard authors of the
language.

The course of study is as follows:

Fourth Class— Three hours a week, study of Grammar; the
principles of special and general composition, with frequent brief
papers illustrating the laws studied.

Third Class.— Three hours a week, study of style, analysis of the
selections of prose and poetry, frequent essays on literary and his-
torical themes.

Second Class.— Three hours a week critical study of English
classics, Shakespeare, Goldsmith, Milton, Longfellow, Essays.
. First Class.— Two hours, first term, outlines of general litera-
ture, history of English literature.

Weekly ' exercises in declamation are held in the first class.
Three original orations are required during the year of each student
in the first and second classes.

MODERN LANGUAGES

No attempt is made in this department to teach a student to
speak French and German. The aim is to give such a facility in
reading these two languages as will afford ready access to the im-
portant scientific papers in foreign journals. The folio ,ving courses
are pursued:

French, first term, Otto's Grammar, part first; exercises in
writing French; French readings.

Second Term, Otto's Grammar, part second; French composi-
tion, Racine's Athalie. *

Third term, composition ssientific French.
German first term; Otto's Grammar, part first; exercises in writ-
ing German. German readings.

Second term; Schiller's Wilhelm Tell. Otto's Grammar, part
second. *

Third term; Scientific German and composition.

MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS.

Maj. Frazer, Commandant.
Military Scienca and Tactic, are required to be taught ia this

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

Institution by law. This law is faithfully carried out, by imparting
to each student not physically incapacitated to bear arms, practical
instruction in the School of the Soldier, of the Company and of
the Battalion, also in Guard Mounting, Inspections, Dress Parades.
Reviews, etc. The College is provided, by the State, with breech-
loading cadet muskets, swords and accoutrements.

The following uniform has been pre scribed for dress, viz., sack
coat of West Point cadet grey, grey pants/vest and cap, trimmings
black. A very neat and serviceable uniform can be obtained here
at about $18. This is less expensive than the usual clothing. All
students are required to wear this uniform during the term.

The drills are short, and the mililary duty involves no hardship.
The Military Drill is a health giving exercise, and its good effects
in the development of thv physique and improvement of the carriage
of the cadet are manifest.

The entire body of students is divided into companies. The officers
are selected for proficiency in drill, deportment and studies. Each
company is officered by one Captain, one 1st, Lieutenant, one*2nd.
Lieutenant, with a proper number of Sergeants and Corporals. The
officers and non-commissioned officers are distinguished by appropri-
ate insignia of rank. These appointments are conferred by the Presi-
dent, on nomination of the Commandant, and are continuous unless
forfeited by abscence or misconduct.

No military duty is required of the privates of the First Class
except to drill with the Battalion.

The First add Second Classes recite once a week in Military
Tactics.

POST-GRADUATE DEGREES.

There are two Post-Graduate Degrees -MASTER OF SCIENCE and CIVIL
ENGINEERING.

Any graduate of this Coliege, who shall, after graduation, actively
engage, for at least three years, in literary or scientific work in the
line of his profession, and who may, by an examination prescribed
by the Faculty, give satisfactory evidence of sufficient advance
meat, shall be entitled to a Post-Graduate Degeee. The requisite
course of study and the nature of the examination may be obtained
by corresponding with the Faculty. A Post-Graduate Degree

also may be obtained by a graduate by one year's residence at the
College spent in the successful prosecution of such a course of ap-
plied science as will be prescribed by the Faculty.

Applicants for Post-Graduate Degrees must matriculate and de-
posit with the treasurer the amounts of their diploma fees. They
must also write and present to the Faculty satisfactory theses upon
some subject pertaining txftheir professions.

Resident graduates may prosecute the studies in any department
of the College without payment of regular fees.

CERTIFICATES OF DISTINCTION

Will be awarded to the first four students in the different subjects
of each class, provided their grade is above 90 per cent., and they
have satisfactorily passed all the regular examinations of that
session.

RECORDS AND CIRCULARS.

Daily records of the various exercises of the classes are kept by the
officers of instruction, in a form adapted to permanent preservation.

From the record a circular or statement is sent to the parent or
guardian monthly.

EXAMINATIONS.

Written recitations or monthly examinations on the studies of
the month are held at the option of the Professor.

At the end of each term written or oral examinations, or both, are
held on the studies passed over during that term.

Special examinations are held only by order of the Faculty, and
in no case will private examinations be permitted.

Students falling below the minimum grade at the final examina-
tions can be promoted to the next higher class only on satisfactory
examinations at the opening of next session.

It is required that every student who euters the college shall re-
main through the examinations at the end ot the term. Leaves of
absence and honorable discharges will, therefore, not be granted
within six weeks of the examinations, except in extreme cases.

At stated intervals during the year, all students, except those
or tne first Class, are required to stand written examinations on
Geography aud English.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

OBJECT OF THE COLLEGE.

;he leading object ot this College is to teach the principles and

the applications of science.

It endeavors to subject each student under its influence to the
exact and accurate training of science-discipline, giving prominence
in its instruction to the sciences and their applications so far as the
facilities at its disposal will permit.

The essential discipline obtained by an accurate and critical study
of languages is not neglected. All students are required to study
the English language in each course of study for a degree, thus
giving it special prominence. The Latin,French and German Ian-
guages are taught, and opportunity for their study is offered to stu-
dents in any course. In the General course they are required fo*

a degree.

By the College thus, in fact, becoming a distinctive School of
Irdustrial Science, or Polytechnic Institute, work of great
value to the youth of the state will result from fitting them, by a
thorough Science-discipline for the successful and honorable per-
formance of the responsible duties of Hie,

While every Attention is given to the mental discipline of the
students in endeavoring to train them to habits of accurate scientific
thought and thus qualify them for the duties of life, whatever their
vocation may be, their moral and christian training will always
constitute the prominent care and thought of the Faculty.

LABOKATOKIES AND FACILITIES FOR

INSTRUCTION.

The College now possesses facilities for giving laboratory instruc-
tion in the applied sciences in the* following departments:

i — in agriculture and horticulture

The farm contains 226 acres and is supplied with illustrative spec-
imens of stock of select varieties.

By act of the Legislature the office of the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture and the Experiment Station for the state of Alabama are
located at Auburn. The Professor of Agriculture is also Director

: >

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 7

of the Experiment Station, and the Professor of Chemistry is State
Chemist, whose duty it is to analyze fertilizers for the benefit of the
general agricultural interests of the state.

This public work doneatAubum in behalf of the agricultural and
industrial interests of the state affords to students an unusual op-
portunity to become familiar with its agriculture, its defects and

remedies.

The Experiment Station is not a model farm, but a place where
experiments and scientific investigations in agriculture are made at
V the public expense for the common good, and where the young
men at the college receive instruction in the methods applied.

The students of agiiculture accompany the professor in the field,
garden, conservatory, stock-yard, etc, where lectures are delivered
in presence of the objects discussed.

II-1ST MECHANIC ARTS

The Mechanic Art Laboratory is used as an auxiliary in indus-
trial education, to instruct in the arts that constitute the founda-
tion of various industrial pursuits, thus aiding in giving mentally
and manually, in theory and practice, that sound education that
will in a measure qualify a young man to enter upon some one of
the associated industries; that education which comes of training
the eye and the hand as well as the mind, and tends to associate
skilled manual aud mental labor. This Laboratory is now well
equipped in the wood-working department.

It is located in a commodious hall 90 x 50 feet, and is provided
with a twenty-five horsepower Corliss Engine with indicator, a/
planer, circular saw, baud saw, two scroll saws, a buzz planer, l
twenty stands with lathes, with full sets of lathe and carpentry /
tools required for instruction. It is designed, as early as practicable, \ .
to complete the foundry, forge, and machine departments for
working in metals.

The work performed by the students is instructive in character
as in any other college laboratory, the classes are taught in sections
under the supervision of the professor There is no attempt to
teach students skill in constructing special articles of commercial
value, but all exercises are systematically arranged and designed
for purposes of education.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE 17

SUB-COLLEGE DEPARTMENT.

For students who fire not prepared for the regular college defer?,
this department is regularly organized under the direction of an ex-
perienced instructor. These students are subject to the discipline
of the College.

NUMBER OF EXERCISES.

All students are required to have not less than fifteen rceitatici s
per week, or their equivalent, in addition to the exercises in labor*
atory work, drawing and military drill.

SPECIAL STUDENTS.

Students who are qualified to prosecute the studies of the Sec-
ond class, and those over twenty one years of age who aie not can-
didates for a degree, are permitted to take, with the advice of the
Faculty, the subjects of study they may prefer and for which they
may be qualified; all other students will be assigned to one of the
regular prescribed courses of study, unless otherwise ordered by the

Faculty.

Regular students who fail to pass satisfactory final examinations
in any one study become special students.

They will be clashed as regular students, pursuing a course for a
degree, whenever they can pass the examinations in those subjects
in which thav were found deficient.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

The courses of study include the Physical, Chemical and Natu-
ral Sciences with their applications; Agriculture, Mechanics, As-
tronomy, Mathematics, Engineering, Drawing, Euglish, French,
German and Latin Languages, History , Political Economy.
Mental and Moral Science.

These studies are arrauged in regular courses so as to offjr a lib-
eral and practical education as a preparation for the active pur-
suits of life.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE

There are three Degree courses, each leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) and requiring four years for its com-
pletion:

I '-COURSE IN CHEMISTRY AND AGRICULTURE.

II -COURSE IN MECHANICS AND ENGINEERING.
HI-GENERAL COURSE. ..

There are also two Partial courses, each requiring two years for its
completion:

IV-TWO YEAR'S COURSE IN AGRICULTURE.
V.-TWO YEAR'S COURSE IN MECHANIC ARTS.

CoursdI. includes theoretical acd practical instruction in those
branches that relate to chemistry and agriculture, and is especially
adapted to those who propose to devote themselves to agriculture or
Chemical pursuits.

Course II. includes the principles and applications of the sciences
that directly relate to civil and mechanical engineering, and is
adapted to those who expect to enter the profession of engineering.

Course III. has been arranged to give a general and less technical
education in subjects of science and language to meet the wants of
those students who have selected no definite vocation in life, as well
as of ihose w T ho propose ultimately to engage in teaching, or in some
commercial or manufacturing business.

Students who complete either of these two year courses, will, on
passing a satisfactory examination, receive certificates indicating
their attainments.

When all of the departments in the School of Mechanic Arts are
provided with the necessary appliances it is designed to arrange a

History. — A course in general History, Ancient and Modern is
given to the Fourth and Third classes in all the College Courses.

The plan and purpose of the instruction in History are to learn
the facts of history, their bearing on each other, and to make
them lessons of warning and instruction; and to train the mind of
students to proper modes of thought and reflection in reference to
human action as far as can be done from the light of history.

Political Economy. — A brief course in Political Economy is al-
so given to the students of the First class, sufficients enable them
to pursue the subject into its wide domain.

Latin authors read:

Fourth class. — Virgil; Cicero's Orations; Grammar and Compo-
sition.

Third class. — Cicero; Horace; Composition.

Second class. — Horace; Selections from Latin P^ets and Proae
writers. Classical Literature.

Optional, A brief course in Greek is given to such students as
may have time and inclination to study this language. Selections
from Xenophon, Homer and Demosthenes may be read.

MATHEMATICS.

Prof. Smith.

The general course fjr the first two years embraces the first year,
Algebra, and Geometry six books; second year, Solid Geometry
Plane and Spherical Trigonomety. Surveying, Mensuration.

Two objects are sought to be attained, first, mental discipline;
second, a thorough knowledge of the practical applications of pure
mathematics. *

Theoretical and practical instruction is given in the third class,
in farm, town and government land surveying, dividing land,
mapping, plotting aud computing of areas, etc., also in the theory,
adjustment and use of instruments*

The class in sections of six or eight devote three afternoons a
week during the second term, to field practice.

Mensuration includes an extended course in measurements of
heights and distances, plane, rectilinear and curvilinear figures,
surfaces and volumes.

The completion of this course, common to all students, lays the
foundation for the pure and applied Mathematics of the Mechani-
cal and Engineering Course. Analytical Geometry, Descriptive

AGRICULTURE.

Prof Newman,
Instruction in this department commences with the Third Class
and continues through the Second and First Classes. Thesul-
ject is taught principally by lectures in which it is treated as an ap-
plied science, or the application of the teachings of the natural
sciences to the art of agriculture, using the farm of the Experi-
ment Station as a laboratory for the practical illustration of the
lecture room instruction.

The classes accompany the professor (who is also Director of the
Station) into the field, garden, orchard, vineyard, the green house
and stock yard, where lectures aie delivered in the presence of lie
work in progress, the objects and results of experiments explained,
the propagation, planting, pruning and cultivation of plants illus-
trated, and so far as deemed necessary for thorough instruction,
manual labor required of the students in any and every department
of the farm.

Every principle and theory taught in the lecture room will 1 e
thoroughly illustrated and exemplifieJon the farm.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION.

J. S. Newman, Director.

The state Agricultural Experiment Station is connected with the

College.

The farm of the station is adjacent to the College buildings and is
used by the professor of agriculture to illustrate his lecture-room
instruction. Here a great variety of experiments in Agriculture,
Horticulture, stock breeding and stock feeeding will serve not only
the purposes of instruction to the students, but will afford valuable

information to the farmers of the State, many of whom already
8 how their appreciation of the Station by visiting it for the purpose
of inspecting the work in progress.

Bulletins are issued regularly through the State Department ol
Agriculture and widely distributed over the State by the Commis-
sioner.

MODERN LANGUAGES AND ENGLISH LITERATURE.

Prof. Thach,

ENGLISH.

In this department the students are carried through a system-
atic course of study in the English language and literature. In
the courses of study which do not include the ancient classics, a
full course in English is especially important. It is, therefore, de-
signed, as much as the time allotted permits, to familiarize these
students by frequent exercises with the standard authors of the

language.

The course of study is as follows: ~>

Fourth Class.- Three hours a week, study of Grammar; the
principles of special and general composition, with frequent brief
papers illustrating the laws studied. ^

Third Class — Three hours a week, study of style, analysis of the
selections of prose and poetry, frequent essays on literary aud his-
torical themes.

Second Class. — Three hours a week, critical study of English
Classics, History of English and American Literature, Logic, Essays.

First Class.— Two hours aweek, first term, principles of criticism
and study of English Classics.

Weekly exercises in declamation aro held in the third class.
Three original orations are required during the year of each student
in the first and second classes. &

MODERN LANGUAGES.

No attempt is made in this department to teach a student to.
speak French and German. The aim is to give such a facility in
reading these two languages as will afford ready access to the im
portant scientific papers in foreign journals. The following courses
are pursued;

Frencn,— L Otto's Grammar, part first; exercises in writing
French; French readings.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE,

French,— II. Otto's Grammar, part second; French imposition,
Racine's Athalie.

French— III. composition, scientific French.

MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS.

Lieut. Richards U. S. Army, Commandant.

Military Science ar>d Tactics are required to be taught in this In-
stitution by law. This law is faithfully carried out, by imparting to
each student not physically incapacitated to bear arms, practical in-
struction in the School of the Soldier, of the Company and of the
Battalion, also in Guard Mounting, Inspections, Dress Parades,
Reviews, etc.

Under Section 1225 U. S. Revised Statutes, the College is provi-
ded with modern Cadet Rifles and accoutrements and two pieces of
Field Artillery. Ammunition for practice firing is used under the
direction of an experienced officer.

The following uniform of standard cadet gray cloth has been
prescribed for dress, viz: Coats and pants as worn at West Point,
with sack-coat for fatigue, dark blue cadet cap, white helmet for
dress occasions.

A very neat and serviceable uniform can be obtained here at
$18. This is less expensive than the usual clothing. All students
are required to wear this uniform during the term.

The drills are short, and the military duty involves no hardships.
The military drill is a health giving exercise, and its good effects in
the development of the physique and improvement of the carriage of
the cadet are manifest.

The entire body of students is divided into companies The offi-
cers are selected for proficiency in drill, deportment and studies.
Ea*h company is officered by one Captain, one 1st. Lieutenant, one
2nd Lieutenant and with a proper number of Sergeants and Corpor-
als, The officers and non-commissioned officers are distinguished by
appropriate insignia of rank. These appointments are conferred by
the President, on nomination of the Commandant.

Privates of the First Class may be excused by the Faculty from
all military drill except battalion drill, i

The First and Second Classes recite once a week in Military Tac-
tics,

a three year's course as follows:

1st. year, wood-working — carpentry, turning, etc.

2nd. year, forge and foundry — black-smithing, moulding and
casting.

3d. year, machine shop, — chipping and filing, and machine work
in metals.

This course is obligatory upon the students of the three lower class-
es (5th., 4th. and 3rd.) in Mechanics and Engineering, but may be
pursued by other students wiih the consent of the Faculty.

During the past year the wood working shop has been equipped
and is in very successful operation, and it is the purpose of the au
thoritiesto complete the other departments as soon as funds are avail-
able. It is expec:ed this year to build and equip the forge, and
foundry departments.

The power for running the apparatus in this department is derived
from a twenty five horse-power Harris-Corliss automatic engine,
which is supplied with steam by a thirty horse power steel horizon,
tal tubular boiler of most approved design. A Deane steam pump
and a heater for the feed water form a part of the steam apparatus.

The equipment in the wood working department comprises thefol
lowing: 20 wood working benches, each with complete set of carpen
ters' tools; 16 turning lathes, 10 in. swing, 30 in. between centres,
each with complete set of tools; 1 double circular saw; 1 baud saw; 1
board planing machine; 1 buzz planer; 2 scroll saws (power) ;1 large
pattern-maker's lathe; 16 in. swing, 4 ft. between centers; 1 36 in.
grindstone. In addition to these the tool room is supplied with a
variety of extra hand tools for special work.

The course of work in this department comprises:

I. A course of carpentry (hand work) covering the first term and
part of the second, or about five months. .The lessons include;
instruction on the nature and the use of tools, elementary work with
plane, saw, chisel, Ac, different kinds of joints — timber-splices,
cross-joints, mortice and tennon, used in construction, miter and
frame work, dove-tail work comprising different kinds of dovetail
joints used in cabinet making, &c,, <fec.

II A. course in Turning and Pattern making, covering the first
three months of second term. The le ssons comprise first, nature and
use of lathe tools, cylindrical turning, caliper work — turning to
different diameters a jd lengths, simple curves, compound curves,
taper work, screw-plate work.

rosette turning, chuck work—hollow and spherical turning,etc, etc,
III. Special work, covering the remainder of the year, combin-
ing hand and lathe work, cabinet-making, scroll work, and the use
of the various machines. Besides this much oftherepaiisand im-
provments about the shop are done by the students, thus giving
them actual practical construction.

All instruction is given, 1st. by black-board drawings or sketches
which the student copies, with dimentions, in a note book with
which each one provides himself; thus each one works from his own
notes. This supplemented, whenever necessary, by the actual con-
struction of the lesson by the instructor before the class; 2nd. by
inspection and direction at bench by instructor. There are three
exercises in this course, each two hours long.

A special course of instruction is also given to more advanced
students especially interested in the subject of Applied Mechanics,
comprising, 1st, A series of lectures on elementary Steapi aud Mill
Engineering, supplemented by actual experiment and practice with
the apparatus, including steam generation, and the nature and use
of the steam boiler and its accompaning apparatus; steam as a mo-
tive power, and the forms, construction and use of the steam engine,
with the study and the use of the Indicator; transmission of power,
shafting, belting, etc. 2d* A course of shop work, — carpentry turn-
ing, etc. — this part being a more comprehensive course than that
for the lower classes.

act of Congress and the acts of the St&te ' Legislature, is to
teach the principles *and the applications of science.

In its courses of instruction it gives prominence to the
sciences and their applications, especially those that relate
to agriculture and the mechanic arts, so far as the facilities
at its disposal will permit; and at the same time the dis-
cipline obtained by the study of languages and other sciences ij9
not neglected.

All students are required to study the English language.
The Latin, French and German languages are" also taught,
and opportunity for their study is offered to stndents in any
course.

The special or technical instruction given is thus based on
a sound general education.

The college in fact has become a distinctive school of
industrial science — or Polytechnic Institute — a title which
by resolution of the trustees is permitted to be inscrib-
ed on the catalogue ; and work of great value to the youth
of the state is now being accomplished by fitting them, by a
thorough science-discipline, — in which hand-craft in the lower class-
es is made a prominent feature, — for the successful and honor-
able performance of the responsible duties of life.

While every attention is given to the mental discipline of
the students in endeavoring to train them to habits of accu-
rate scientific thought and thus qualify them for the duties of
life, whatever their vocation may be, their moral and christian
training will always constitute the prominent care and thought
of the Faculty.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE

LABORATORIES AND FACILITIES FOR

INSTRUCTION
The College now possesses facilities for giving laboratory in-
struction in applied science in the following departments;

L-IN AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE.

The farm contains 226 acres and is supplied with illustrative
specimens of stock of select varieties.

By act of tbe legislature the office of the Commissioner of
Agriculture and the Experiment Station for the state of Ala-
bama are located at Auburn. The Professor of agriculture is
also Director of the experiment station, and the Professor of
chemistry is state chemist to the department of agriculture,
whose duty it is to analyze fertilizers for the benefit of the
general agricultural interests of the atateT f

This public work done at Auburn in behalf of the agricul-
tural and industrial interests oi the state affords to students an
unusual opportunity to become familiar with its agriculture, its
defects and remedies.

The Experiment Station is not a model km, but a place

where experiments and scientific investigations in agriculture

fire made at the puWic expense for the common good, and where

the young men at the college receive instruction in the methods

applied.

The students of agriculture accompany the professor in
the field, garden, conservatory, stock-yard, etc. where lectures are
delivered in presence of the objects discussed.

U-IN MECHANIC ARTS

The Mechanic Art Laboratory isiised as an auxiliary in indus-
trial education, to instruct in the arts that constitute the founda-
tion of various industrial pursuits, thus aiding in giving mentally
and manually, in theory and practice, that sound education that
will in a measure qualify a young man to enter upon some one oi
the associated industries; that education which trains the
eye and the hand as well as the mind, and tends to associate skil-

led manaal and mental labor. This laboratory is now well equip-
ped in the wood and iron department.

The wood department in located is a commodious hall 90 x 50
feet, and is provided with a twenty-five horse power Corliss En-
gine with indicator, a planer, circular saw, band saw, two scroll
saws, a bun planer, twenty stands with lathes, with fall sets of
lathe and carpentry tools required for instruction.

A brick building with two rooms, each 30 x 35 feet, has recent-
ly been constructed, especially for instruction in working iron.

One room is equipped with twelve forges, and tools required
for a forge department, the other with a cupola furnace, having a
capacity of 400 pound*, a core oven, moulding benches and sple-

cial tools for use in a foundry.

The forge ancl foundry rooms are furnished with a Sturtevant
fan and exhauster supplied with power from the engine.

The machine department will be thoroughly completed next
year; the liberal appropriation made by the state legislature ren-
dering this possible.

The Weston dynamo of five horse power, used for furnishing

electricity to the laboratories and for lighting the halls, is located
in the large hall of the Mechanic Art laboratory.

The work performed by the students is instructive in character
as in any other college laboratory, the classes are taught in sections
under the supervision of the pressor. There is no attempt to
teach students skUl in constructing special articles nf commercial
value, but all exercises are systematically arranged and designed
for purposes of education.

HI in fRACTJCAL CHEM8TRY

The chemical laboratory is well supplied with apparatus and
facilities for instruction in practical chemistry. It is provided
with gas and water, a steam boiler for heating, etc., with filtering
pumps, six analytical balances, and working tables for each stu-
dent.

It is situated in the first story of the main building and occupies
six rooms, one for special agricultural analysis, besides two small
balance rooms.

NUMBER OF EXERCISES.

All students are required to have not less than fifteen recitation?
per week or their equivalent, in addition to the exercises in labor-
atory work, drawing and military drill.

6PECIAL STUDENTS.

Students who are qualified to prosecute the studies of the Second
class, and those over twenty one years of age who are not candidates
for a degree, are permitted to take, with the advice of the Faculty,
the subjects of study they may prefer and for which they may be
qualified ; all other students will be assigned to one of the regular
prescribed courses of study, unlete-otherwise ordered by the Faculty.
Regular students who fail to pass satisfactory final examinations in
any one study become special students.

They will be classed a? regular students, pursuing a course for a
degree, whenever they can pass the examinations in those subjects
in which they were found deficient.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
the courses of study include the Physical, Chemical and Natural
Sciences with their applications ; Agriculture, Mechanics, As-
tronomy, Mathematics Engineering, Drawing. English, French,
German and Latin Languages, History, Political Economy,

Mental and Moral Science.

These studies are arranged in regular courses so as to offer a lib-
eral and practical education as a preparation for the active pur-
suits of life.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

There are three Degree courses, for undergraduates, each leading
to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) and requiring four
years for its completion:

I COURSE IN CHEMISTRY AND AGRICULTURE.

II — COURSE IN MECHANIC8 AND ENGINEERING.
HI—GENERAL COUR8E.

There are also two partial courses; each requiring two years for
its completion :

IV -TWO YE AOTt&UltSE IN AGRICULTURE.
V — TWO YEAR'8 COURSE IN MECHANIC ARTS.

Course I. includes theoretical and practical instruction in those
branches that relate to chemistry and agriculture, and is especially
.adapted to those who propose to devote themselves to agriculture or
.chemical pursuits.

•

Course II. includes the principles and applications of the science
that directly relate to civil and mechanical engineering, and is
adapted to those who expect to eqter the profession of engineer-
ing.

Course II [. has been arranged to give a general and less technical
education in subjects of science and language to meet the wants
of those students who have selected no definite vocation in life, as
well as of those who propose ultimately to engage in teaching, or
in some commercial or manufacturing business.

Course IV. and V. have been arranged for the benefit of those
students who, for reasons satisfactory to themselves, are not able
to continue at college four years and take one of the regular degree
courses, ,

Students who complete either of these two year courses, will, on
passing a satisfactory examination, receive certificates indicating
their attainments.

When all of the departments in the School of Mechanic Arts are
provided with the necessary appliances it is designed to arrange a
more extended course in Mechanical Engineering.

—

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

COURSE IN PHARMACY.
The following resolution was adopted by the trustees:

"That the faculty are hereby authorized and directed to arrange as early as practi-
cable a special course of instruction in Pharmacy, adapted to qualify young men
by systematic work in chemistry and other sciences, to become practical pharmacists
mid chemicaYnianufacturers.

Students who expect to become practical pharmacists can en-
ter upon a special course of Chemistry and Natural History and
occupy all of their time in the laboratories of these departments
under the immediate direction of the Professors.

COURSE IN MINING ENGINEERING.

Students who have received the degree ofB. Sc. in Engineering,
or who have prosecuted an equivalent course of study, can enter
upon a special course of Mining Engineering which includes the
following subjects of study, and will require a residence of one
vear:

Industrial Chemistry, — Assaying, Reduction of ores, Mineralogy
Economic Geology, Mining machinery, Drifting, Tunnelling,
Timbering, Ore-Dressing, and the various operations connected
with the exploitation of mines.

This course of study will be under the charge of the Professors
of Chemistry, Engineering, and Natural History.

Mensuration includes an extended course in measurements of
heights and distances, plane, rectilinear and curvilinear figures,,

surfaces and volumes.

The completion of this course, common to all students, lays the
foundation for the pure and applied Mathematics of the Mechani-
cal and Engineering Course. Analytical Geometry, Descriptive
Geometry and Cateulus are pursued in the Engineering course.
Especial attention is given to their practical applications.

During the entire course.instruction in text books is supplement-
ed by lectures. Solutions of original practical problems are requir-
ed of the student, to make him familiar with the application of
principles studied. TextBooil , '

Special attention is given to the Geology of Alabama The
course is given by text books and lectures, illustrated bf means
of diagrams, maps, models and various rocks ^T^K^
non-fLiliferous to be found in the Geological Cabinet. Atten-
tion is given to the nature and origin of ore deposits, mineral
springs, and origin and geolgical relations of soils.

Zoology.-A systematic arrangement of the Animal Kingdom
in accordance with natural affinities, is made a special feature of
the instruction. Particular attention is also given to >n^nju-
rous to vegetation, their habits, and the methods best adapted for

checking their ravages. -

Botany.-The students of the Third Class begm tiie study of

Botany, and continue it through the second term. Analytical
wo k is made an important feature. This Class is provided with
plants from the neighboring fields, and taught how to determine
their specific names. The work is sufficiently exhaustive to en-
able the student, after completing the course, to name any of the
ordinary weeds and grasses that he will encounter in this section.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE

In the Secoird Class an amount of time is devoted to systematic
and structural Botany, and to advanced laboratory work with the
microscope, in the preparation of specimens showing plant structure,
sufficient to familiarize the students not only with the methods of
plant building and cellular organization, but also to practise them
in detecting the various forms of fungi that are injurious to fruits
and vegetables. A Biological Laboratory has been fitted up for
students, provided with excellent microscopes of the most improved
patterns, well constructed tables, and all the necessary chemicals
for preparing and mounting vegetable tissues. A dark room i< at-
tached to this laboratory for micro-photographic work.

The teaching of Botany is greatly facilitated by the use of Au-
zoux's, complete set of clastic models of plants.

Physiology. —This subject is taught to the students of the Fourth
class, and is completed in the second term of the session. The text
is illustrated by models and microscopical sections projected on the
screen.

and continues through the other three Classes. The sub-
ject is taught principally by lecturer in which it is treated as an ap-
plied science, and by the application of the teachings of the natural
sciences to the art of agriculture, using the farm of the Experi-
ment Station as a laboratory for the practical illustration df the
lecture room instruction.

The classes accompany the professor into the field, garden, or-
chard, vineyard, the green house and stock yard, where lectures
are delivered in the presence of the work in progress, the objects
and results of experiments explained, the propagation, planting,
pruning and cultivation of plants illustrated, and so far as deem-
ed necessary for thorough instruction, opportunity is given to
students in agriculture to perform manual labor in any and every
department of the farm.

MECHANIC ARTS.

G. H. Bryant B. S . Instructor

This department of Manual Training will embrace when com
pleted a three year's course as follows : IsTy ear, wood - working,
carpentry, turning and pattern making; 2nd. year, forge and foun-
dry work, — moulding, casting, a id smithing; 3rd. year, ma-
chine shop, — chipping and filing, and machine work in metals.

This course is obligatory upon the students of the three lower
classes (5th, 4th, and 3rd.) For satisfactory reasons a student may
be excused from this laboratory work by ihe Faculty.

The full work of each class is six hours per week, iu thiee exer-
cises, of two hours each.

The wood- working shop was established in 18*5, with a complete
equipment for wood-work. A thorough course is now provided for.

During the past year the forge shop and foundry have been built
and equipped, and are now in successful operation.

It is expected the authorities will complete the other department
% of machinery etc., the next session, with the funds recently appro-
priated by tne Legislature.

The power for running the apparatus in this department is de-
rived from a twenty five horse-power Harris-Corliss automatic en-
gine, which is supplied with steam by a thirty horse-power steel
horizontal tubular boiler of most approved design. A Deane steam
pump, and a heater for the feed water form a part of the steam

apparatus.

The equipment for the wood working shop comprises the follow-
ing : 20 double wood working • benches, each wiih complete set of
carpenter's tools; 16 turning lathes, 10 in. swing, each with com-
plete set of tools ; 1 double circular saw; 1 band saw; 1 board
planing machine; 1 buzz planer; 2 scroll saws (power); 1 large
pattern maker's lathe, 16 in. swing; I 36 in. grindstone. In addi-
tion to these,the tool worn is supplied with a variety of extra hand

tools for special work.

During the summer of 1886 a substantial brick building 72 by
32 feet, one story high, with monitor roof, was built for the forge
and foundry departments. This is divided into two rooms each
35 by 30 feet, each department occupying one room.

The equipment for the Foundry consists of moulding benches
for 12 students, each supplied with a complete set of moulder's

gM-f

r~-% »•

AGRKTLTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

tools; a 14 inch cupola with all modern improvements, capable of
melting lOOO "pounds of iron per hour; a brass furnace in which
can be niched 100 pounds of brass at a heat, with a set of cru^i -
bles tongs, etc. Also a full supply of ladles, large and small
moulding flasks, special tools, etc.

The Forge Shop equipment consists of 12 hand forges of new
pattern each with a set of smith's tools, anvil, etc. The blast
for all the forges is supplied by a No. 3 Sturtevant steel pressure
blower (which also furnishes blast for the foundry cupola); and a
No. 15 Sturtevant exhaust blower draws the smoke from the fires
into the smoke flues and forces it out through the chimijey.

The nature of the work in each department is as follows:

1st, year: I — ,A course of Carpentry (hand work covering the
first term and part of the second or about five months.)

The lessons include instruction on the nature and use of tools,
instruction and practice in shop drawing, elementary work with
plare, saw, chisel, etc, different kinds of joints — tiiiiher-splices,
cross joints, mortice and tennon, miter and frame work, dovetail
work comprising different kinds of joints used in cabinet making,
light cabinet work, examples in building, framing, roof-trusses,
etc.

II — .A course in turning and pattern making extends through
the three months of the third term. .The lessons comprise first
nature and use of lathe and tools, plain straight turning, caliper
work to different diameters and lengths, simple and compound
curves, screw plates and chuck work, hollow and spherical turn-
ing. The work in pattern making comprises a variety of examples
of whole and split patterns, core work, etc. giving the student prac-
tice in fbrming irregular shapes in wood with the lathe and carv-
ing tools, as well as familiarity with the nature and use of patterns
for moulding,

2nd. year : I— .A course in moulding and casting in iron and
brass, occupying the first ten weeks. The work cousists for the
most part of small articles such as light machine parts, but a suffi-
cient variety of forms are introduced for the student to acquire a
good general and practical knowledge of the usual methods and
appliances used in light foundry work. Most of the work is in
green sand in two-part flasks, core work is also given, and some
three-part flask and some dry sand work is introduced.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

The s?;me patterns which have been made by students the
previous year are used, besides special patterns for occasional
larger <r more ^complicated work. Instruction and practice is
given in working the cupJla, each student iu turn taking charge
of a melting.

II A course in forge work in iron and steel. The lessons are
arranged so that the students in making the series of objects, be-
come familiar with the nature of the metals, and the successive
steps in working tnem by hand into simple and complex forms; as
drawing, upsetting, bending, cutting, punching, welding by va-
rious methods, tool forging, tempering, hardening, etc. \

In connection with this second-year work, a series of lectures is
given on the metallurgy and working of the metals used in the
industrial arts, cast and wrought iron, steel, brass, etc.

All instruction is given; first, by black-board drawings or sketch-
es which the student copies, with dimensions, in note book,
wiU which each one provides himself; thus each one works from
his own notes. This is supplemented, whenever necessary, by the
actual construction of the lesson by the instructor before the cWs:
second, by inspection and direction at the bench by the instructor.

3d, year: Course in Machinery. Students desiring to
pursue the study of applied mechanics beyond the above course
in shop work, will be required *o take in addition a special
course including the study of Steam and Mill Engineering,
supplemented by experiment and practice with the apparatus ;
including steam generation and the forms, construction and use of
steam boilers and accompanying apparatus ; steam as a motive
power, and forms, construction and use of the steam engine, with
the study and use of the indicator ; transmission of power,— shaft-
ing, belting, gearing, etc., also elementary theoretical mechan-
ism.

Military Science and Tactics are required to be taught in ihi's In-
stitution by law. This law is faithfully carried out , by imparting to
each student, not physically incapacitated to bear arms, practical in-
struction in the School of the Soldier, of the Company and of the
Battalion, also in Guard Mountings, Inspections, Dress Parades,
Reviews, etc.

Under Section 1225 U. S. Revised Statutes, the College is pro-
vided with modern Cadet Rifles and accoutrements and two pieces
of Field Artillery. Ammunition for practice firing is used under
the direction of an experienced officer.

The following uniform of standard cadet gray cloth has been
prescribed for dress, viz: Coats and pants as worn at West Point

with sack-coat for fatigue, dark- blue cadet cap, white helmet for
dress occasions.

A very neat and serviceable uniform can be obtained here at
$18. This is less expensive than the usual clothing. All students
are required to wear this uniform during the session.

The drills are short, and the military duty involves no hard-
ships. The military drill is a health giving exercise, and its good
effects in the development of the physique and improvement of the
carriage of the cadet are manifest.

The entire body of students is divided into companies. The offi-

■%

cers are selected fjr proficiency in drill, deportment and stud-
ies. Each company is officered by one Captain, one 1st. Lieuten-
ant, one 2nd. Lieutenant and with a proper number of sergeants
and Corporals. The officers and non-commissioned officers are dis-
tinguished by appropriate insignia of raik. These appointments
are conferred by the President, on nomination of the Command-
ant.
Privates of the First Class may be excused by the faculty from

all military drill except battalion drill.

The First and Second Classes recite once a week in Military Tac-
tics.

POST-GRADUATE DEGREES.

There are three Post-Graduate Degrees-MASTER OF SCIENCE, MINING ENGINEEB
and CIVIL ENGINEER.

A Post-Graduate Degree may be obtained by a graduate of this
College, or of any other institution of equal grade, by one years
residence at the College, spent in the successful prosecution of a
course of study in applied science prescribed by the faculty.

Candidates must also present to the faculty a satisfactory thesis
showing independent investigation upon some subject pertaining

to their course of study.

Applicants for Post-Graduate Degree are by order of the Board
permitted to matriculate without payment of fees, except labor-
atory fees for those who work in the chemical laboratory.

They are subject to the general regulations as other students,
but are exempt from all military duty.

Resident Graduates, who are not candidates for a degree
are permitted to matriculate and prosecute the studies in any de-
partment of the college, except chemical laboratory, without pay-
ment of regular fees.

DISTINCTIONS.

Distinctions will be awarded in the different subjects of each class
to those students whose grade is above 90 per cent, and who have
satisfactorily passed all the regular examinations of that session.

Certificates of Distinction are awarded in public on Commence
ment day to those who obtain three Distinctions,

RECORDS AND CIRCULARS.

Daily records of the various exercises of the classes are kept by the

officers of instruction, in a form adapted to permanent preservatKL.

From the record a monthly circular, or statement is sent to the

parent or guardian.

EXAMINATIONS.

Written recitations, or monthly examinations on the studies of the
month are held at the option of the professor.

At the end of each term writte^Nor oral examinations, or both,
are held on the studies passed over during that term. v

Special examinations are held ou^y by order of tha Faculty, and
in no case will private examinations be permitted.

Students falling below the minimum grade at the final examina-
tion can be promoted to full standing to the next higher class only
on satisfactory sxaminatione at the opening of the next session.

It i « required that every student who enters the college shall remain
through the examinations at the end of the term. Leaves of absenc'e
and honorable discharges will, therefore, not be granted within six
weeks of the examinations, except in extreme cases.

Examinations for degrees or certificates of proficiency embrace
the entire subject of study in the course.

MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY AND GEOLOGY.

Many valuable additions have been made to the various branch-
es of this Museum within the past few years.

Contributions have been received from different States of the
Union, and from foreign countries. >

The Geology of Alabama is well illustrated with minerals, fossil-
iferous and non-fossiliferous rocks from the different formations of
the State. The Museum is divided Into the department of miner-
alogy, conchology, geology, zoology and botany. Each depart-
ment is systematically arranged and catalogued for study and
inspection.

OBJECT OF THE COLLEGE.

The leading object of the College, in conformity with the
act of Congress and the acts of the State Legislature, is to
teach the principles and the applications of science.

In its courses of instruction it gives prominence to the
sciences and their applications, especially those that relate
to agriculture and the mechanic arts, so far as the facilities
at its disposal will permit ; and at the same time the dis-
cipline obtained by the study of languages and other sciences
is not neglected.

All students are required to study the English language.
The Latin, French and German languages are also taught,
and opportunity for their study is offered to students in any
course.

The special or technical instruction given is thus based
'on a sound general education.

The College in fact has become a distinctive school of indus-
trial science — or Polytechnic Institute — a title which by
resolution of the trustees is permitted to be inscribed on
the catalogue, and work of great value to the youth of the
State is now being accomplished by fitting them, by a thor-
ough science-discipline, in which handcraft in the lower
classes is made a prominent feature, for the successful and
honorable performance of the responsible duties of life.

While every attention is given to the mental discipline of
the students in endeavoring to train them to habits of accu-
rate scientific thought and thus qualify them for the duties
of life, whatever their vocation may be, their moral and
Christian training will always constitute the prominent care
and thought of the Faculty.

6 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

LABORATORIES AND FACILITIES FOR

INSTRUCTION.

The College now possesses facilities for giving laboratory
instruction in applied science in the following departments :

I — IN AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE.

The farm contains 210 acres and is supplied with illustra-
tive specimens of stock of select varieties.

The agricultual experiment station, established in connec-
tion with the College, where experiments and scientific invest-
igations relating to agriculture are daily made, affords unu-
sual opportunities to students to become familiar with agri-
culture, its defects and remedies. •

The students of agriculture accompany the professor in
the field, garden, conservatory, stock-yard, etc., where lectures
are delivered in presence of the object discussed, and during
the year exercises in practical agriculture and horticulture
of an educational character are given the students who enter
upon this course of study.

II — IN MECHANIC ARTS.

The Laboratory of Mechanic Arts is used as an auxiliary
in industrial education, as a school of manual training in
the arts that constitute the foundation of various industrial
pursuits. The work performed by the students is instructive
in character, as in any other laboratory, and the classes are
taught in sections by a series of graded lessons under the
supervision of the professor. In the lower classes of the
College each student enters this school, and is assigned three
exercises a week, each, exercise being two hours long.

The object of this laboratory is not to teach a trade but
to educate, to discipline and train the eye and the hand a»
well as the mind, and thrs, by associating manual and men-
tal training, to thoroughly educate the student for the
duties of life, whatever his vocation may be There is no
attempt to teach students special skill in constructing arti-
cles of commercial value, but all the exercises are systemat-
ically arranged and designed for purposes of education

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

The wood department is located in a commodious hall
90x50 feet, and is provided with a twenty-five horse power
Corliss engine, with indicator, a planer, circular saw, band-
saw, two scrolll saws, a buzz planer, twenty stands with
lathes, with full sets of lathe and carpentry tools required
for instruction.

A brick building with two rooms, each 30x35 feet, has
recently been constructed especially for instruction in work-
ing iron.

One room is equipped with twelve forges and tools required
for a forge department, the other with a cupola furnace, hav-
ing a capacity of 400 pounds, a core oven, moulding benches
and special tools for use in a foundry.

The forge and foundry rooms are furnished with a Sturt-
evant fan and exhauster supplied with power from the en-
gine. % ■ *•

The machine department is equipped with eight engine
lathes — one speed lathe, one 20-inch drill press, one post drill,
one shaper, one five-foot planer, one universal milling ma-
chine, a corundum tool-grinder and small emery grinder.

The chipping and filing department is arranged with
benches and vises for twelve students.

The Weston dynamo of five horse power, used at present
for lighting the halls, is located in the large hall of the Me-
chanic Art Laboratory.

It is designed, when the buildings now under construction
are completed, to supply the different laboratories with elec-
tricity by this dynamo.

Ill — IN PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY.

The new chemical laboratory will be supplied with new
and modern apparatus, and in its entire equipment will
afford excellent facilities for instruction in practical chem-
istry.

V p— «,

The investigations that will be undertaken in this labora-
tory by scientific experts, in connection with the work of
the agricultural experiment station, will be of especial value
to advanced students, and will afford them unusual oppor-
tunities to learn the methods of scientific research. The

8 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE,

building contains a large general laboratory that will ac-
commodate sixty students, and lecture room, and nine other
rooms, all appropriated to instruction and research in chem-
istry.

It will be equipped with the improved modern appliances
necessary for instruction and investigation.

IV — IN PHYSICS AND MINERALOGY.

In the main College structure, now being rebuilt, provis-
ion will be made for laboratory work in these and in other
departments of science. Temporary rooms are now used,
and apparatus is supplied as demanded by the work of the
College.

r . . V — IN BOTANY, ETC.

In the work of the agricultural experiment station, inves-
tigations in botany and entomology will be given special
attention, and unusual opportunities will be offered ad-
vanced students for practical work in these departments in
laboratories especially fitted with appliances for research.

VI— IN ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING.

The necessary apparatus for field work has been provided
for the use of students, and the customary exercises in the
field are given.

VII— IN DRAWING.

All the students in the lower classes are required to take
drawing, a study which tends to discipline the mind, as
well as to train the eye and hand to accuracy of observation
and execution.

VIII— IN MILITARY TACTICS.

Instruction in this department is given in conformity
with the act of Congress. Students receive the benefit of
regular military drill, and in addition the military system
is used as a means of enforcing discipline and securing good
order, promptness and regularity in the performance of
academic duties.

This department is under the charge of Lieut. M. C.
Richards, 2nd Artillery, U. S. A.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 9

It has recently been supplied with new cadet muskets
and accoutrements for the corps, and for artillery practice,
with two three-inch rifle guns, carriages and limbers.

isfactory examination in the following subjects :

1. Geography and History of the United States.

2. English — (a) An examination upon sentences con-
taining incorrect English, (b) A composition giving evi-
dence of satisfactory proficiency in spelling, punctuation,
grammar and division into paragraphs.

3. Mathematics — (a) Arithmetic, including fundamental
operations; common and decimal fractions; denominate
numbers, the metric system ; percentage, including interest
and discount ; proportion ; extraction of square and cube
roots; (b) Algebra, to quadratic equations.

For admission to the fourth class in the General Course,
a satisfactory examination will also be required in Latin
grammar and Caesar (4 books.)

For admission to the higher classes, students should be
prepared to stand a satisfactory examination on all the
studies of the lower classes as shown in the courses of study.
Where opportunity has not been offered to pursue special
studies required at this College, the system of equivalents
will be adopted, and studies which denote an equivalent
amount of discipline and training will be accepted as satis-
factory.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS.

Entrance examinations will be held on the 15th of Sep-
tember, the day on which the session opens.

Applicants who are not fully prepared to stand the entrance
examinations for full admission to the fourth class, includ-
ing those of fourteen years of age, are admitted to the sub-
college department, which includes the fourth class, Sec. B.

Students upon their arrival at Auburn will report imme-
diately to the President. No student will be admitted to a
recitation in any class previous to matriculation.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 23

NUMBER OF EXERCISES REQUIRED.

All students are required to have not less than fifteen
recitations per week, or their equivalent, in addition to
the exercises in laboratory work, drawing and military
drill. These additional exercises occupy not less than
twelve hours per week.

SPECIAL STUDENTS,

Students who are qualified to prosecute the studies of the
second class, and those over twenty-one years of age who
are not candidates for a degree, are permitted to take, with
the advice of the Faculty, the subjects of study they may
prefer and for which they may be qualified ; all other stu-
dents will be assigned to one of the regular prescribed
courses of study, unless otherwise ordered by the Faculty,
Regular students who fail to pass satisfactory final exam-
inations in any one study become special students.

They will be classed as regular students pursuing a course
for a degree whenever they can pass the examinations in
those subjects in which they were found deficient.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

The courses of study include the Physical, Chemical and
Natural Sciences with their applications; Agriculture, Me-
chanics, Astronomy, Mathematics, Engineering, Drawing,
English, French, German and Latin Languages, History,
Political Economy, Mental and Moral Sciences.

These studies are arranged in regular courses so as to offer
a liberal and practical education as a preparation for the
active pursuits of life.

There are three Degree courses for undergraduates, each
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) and
requiring four years for its completion :

I. Course in Chemistry and Agriculture.

II. Course in Mechanics and Engineering.

III. General Course.

24 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

There are also two partial courses, each requiring two years
for its completion :

IV. Two Years' Course in Agriculture.

V. Two Years' Course in Mechanic Arts.

Course I. includes theoretical and practical instruction in
those branches that relate to chemistry and agriculture, and
is especially adapted to those who propose to devote them-
selves to agriculture or chemical pursuits.

Course II. includes the principles and applications of the
sciences that directly relate to civil and mechanical engineer-
ing, and is adapted to those who expect to enter the profes-
sion of engineering.

Course III. has been arranged to give a general and less
technical education in subjects of science and language to
meet the wants of those students who have selected no defi-
nite vocation in life, as well as of those who propose ulti-
mately to engage in teaching, or in some commercial or
manufacturing business.

Courses IV. and V. have been arranged for the benefit of
those students who, for reasons satisfactory to themselves, are
unable to continue at college four years and take one of the
regular degree courses.

Students who complete either of these two year courses
will, on passing a satisfactory examination, receive certifi-
cates indicating their attainments.

Students who have completed the general course in each
department of the school of Mechanic Arts, and are qualified,

can enter upon a more extended technical course in Mechani-
cal Engineering.

PREPARATORY COURSE IN PHARMACY.

Students who expect to become practical pharmacists can
enter upon a special course of Chemistry and Natural History
and occupy all of their time in the laboratories of these
departments under the immediate direction of the professors
With the excellent facilities offered in the new" chemical
laboratory, scientific preparation of greM value to the practi-
t cal pharmacist can be obtained.

DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION.

PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY.

PRESIDENT BROUN.

The instruction is given by recitations from text-books
and lectures, illustrated by experiments. The first part of
the course is occupied with Elementary Rational Mechanics
treated graphically.

This is followed by a full discussion of Molecular Me-
chanics ; while due prominence is given to principles, frequent
reference is made to the applications of science.

The studies of the second class include the properties of
matter, units of measure, force, work, energy, kinematics,
kinetics, mechanic powers, friction, pendulum, molecular
forces of solids, liquids and gases, theory of undulations,
heat, electricity, magnetism, etc.

The studies of the first class include Electricity and its
applications ; Optics, Astronomy and Meteorology.

Text-Books.— In Physics, Atkinson's Ganot. In Astronomy, New-
comb & White.

MATHEMATICS.

PROF. SMITH.

The general course for the first two years embraces the first
year, Algebra and Geometry, six books ; second year, Solid
Geometry, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, Surveying,
Mensuration.

Two objects are sought to be attained : First, mental dis-
cipline. Second, a thorough knowledge of the principles of
pure mathematics and their practical applications.

Theoretical and practical instruction is given in the third
class in farm, town and government land surveying, divid-
ing land, mapping, plotting and computing of areas, etc.;
also in the theory,, adjustment and use of instruments.

32 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

The class, in sections of six or eight, devote three after-
noons a week during the second and third terms to field
practice.

Mensuration includes an extended course in measure-
ments of heights and distances, plane, rectilinear and curvi-
linear figures, surfaces and volumes.

The completion of this course, common to all students,
lays the foundation for the pure and applied Mathematics of
the Mechanical and Engineering course. Analytical Geom-
etry, Descriptive Geometry and Calculus are pursued in the
Engineering course. Especial attention is given to their
practical applications.

During the entire course, instruction in text-books is sup-
plemented by lectures. Solutions of original practical prob-
lems are required of the student to make him familiar with
the application of principles and formulae.

TEXT-BOOKS.

Wentworth's Algebra, Wentworth's Geometry, Schuyler's Survey-
ing, WentwortlVs Analytical Geometry, Waldo's Descriptive Geometry,
Taylor's Calculus, Olney's and Wentworth's Trigonometry.

NATURAL HISTORY AND GEOLOGY.

PROF. MELL.

Geology. — This subject is studied in the senior class.

Special attention is given to the Geology of Alabama.
The course is given by text-books and lectures. Attention
is paid to the nature and origin of ore deposits, mineral
springs and geological relations of soils.

Zoology —k systematic arrangement of the Animal King-
dom, in accordance with natural affinities, is made a special
feature of the instruction. Particular attention is also given
to insects injurious to vegetation, their habits, and the meth-
ods best adapted for checking their ravages.

Botany.— The students of the third class begin the study
of Botany the 1st of March and continue it through the ses-
sion/ Analytical work is made an important feature. This
class is provided with plants from the neighboring fields, and

taught how to determine their specific names. The work is
sufficiently exhaustive to enable the student, after complet-
ing the course, to name any of the ordinary weeds and grasses
that he will encounter in this section. All students of
the third class are required to study Botany.

In the second class, in the course of Chemistry and Agri-
culture, an amount of time is devoted to systematic and
.structural Botany, and to advanced laboratory work with
the microscope in the preparation of specimens showing
plant structure ; this work is not only sufficient to famil-
iarize the students with the methods of plant building and
■cellular organization, but also to practise them in detecting
the various forms of fungi that are injurious to fruits and
vegetables. Excellent microscopes of the most improved
patterns and all the necessary chemicals and apparatus for
preparing and mounting vegetable tissues are used by the
students. A dark room is attached to this laboratory for
micro-photographic work.

TEXT-BOOKS.

Le Conte's Geology, Holder's Zoology, Bessey's Botany, Apgar's
Plant Analysis, Gray's Botany, Plant Dissection (Arthur, Barnes and

ALABAMA WEATHER SERVICE.

The United States Signal Service has established in Ala-
bama a State system for collecting meteorological data relat-
ing to climatic changes. The service is now in successful
•operation with the central office located at this Institute.
Bulletins are issued at the close of each month, compiled
from reports sent the Director from numerous stations scat-
tered throughout the State. An opportunity is thus offered
the students in Meteorology of becoming familiar with the
system so long successfully operated by the Department at
Washington.

ENGLISH AND LATIN.

PROF. THACH.

ENGLISH.

In this department the students are carried through a sys-
tematic course of study in the English language and litera-
ture. In the courses of study which do not include the
ancient classics, a full course in English is especially im-
portant. It is, therefore, designed, as much as the time
allotted permits, to familiarize these students by frequent
exercises with the standard authors of the language.

The course of study is as follows :

Fourth Class.— Five hours a week ; study of Grammar, the
principles of special and general composition, with frequent
brief papers illustrating the laws studied.

Whitney's Essentials, Launsbury's History of English Language,
Hart's Rhetoric.

Third Class.— Three hours a week ; study of style, analysis
of the selections of prose and poetry, frequent essays on lit-
erary and historic themes.

Hart's Rhetoric, Scudder's American Poems. Weekly exercises in
declamation are required of members of this class.

Second Class.— Three hours a week; critical study of
English Classics, History of English and American Litera-
ture, Logic, Essays.

Abbott's How to Write Clearly, Shaw's History of English Literature
Abbott's English Lessons, Hale's Longer English Poems.

40 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

First Class.— -Two hours a week, first term ; principles of
criticism and study of English Classics ; second and third
terms, Political Economy. Five hours a week, first and sec-
ond terms: Mental Science; third term, Moral Science.

Shakespeare's Plays, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Wayland's Science-
of Wealth, Hickok's Mental Science, Gregory's Christian Ethics. 1

Three original orations are required during the year of each student
in the first and second classes.

LATIN.

The subjects taught in this department are the Latin
Language and Literature.

The modes of instruction are by translation from the Latin
texts into English a,nd from English into Latin. The con-
stant use of black-boards adds much to the progress and ac-
curacy of the student.

A systematic course of exercises, illustrative of the princi-
ples of Latin Etymology and Syntax, is carried on in con-
nection with the reading of the authors prescribed. Special ■
attention is given to English derivatives from the Latin, and j
to the corresponding idioms of the two languages.

The progress of the student is valued not so much by the
number of books read as by his ability to read Latin and ex-
plain the principles of interpretation and construction.

Latin authors read:

Fourth Class.— Virgil, Cicero's Orations, Grammar and Compositions
Third Class. — Cicero, Composition.
Second Class.— Tacitus, Horace, Selections from Latin Poets and
Prose writers, Classical Literature.

MECHANIC ARTS.

G. H. BRYANT, B. S., INSTRUCTOR. N

The course in Manual Training covers three years, as fol-
lows: First year, wood- working— carpentry and turning;
second year, pattern-making and foundry and forge work-
moulding, casting and smithing ; third year, machine shop-
chipping and filing and machine work in metals.

This course is obligatory upon the students of the three I

lower classes (5th, 4th and 3d). For satisfactory reasons a
student may be excused from this laboratory work by the
Faculty.

The full work of each class is six hours per week, in three I

exercises of two hours each.

The power for running the apparatus in this department is derived 1 ]

from a twenty-five horse-power Harris-Corliss automatic engine, which
is supplied with steam by a thirty horse-power steel horizontal tubular j

boiler. A steam pump and a heater for the feed water form a part of
the steam apparatus. For the steam plant a substantial brick boiler-,
house and chimney have been erected.

The equipment for the wood-working shop comprises the following:
20 double wood- working benches, each with complete set of carpenter's ?

tools; 20 turning-lathes, io-inch swing, each with complete set of tools ^
1 double circular saw; x band saw; 1 board-planing machine; 1 buzz 1

planer; 2 scroll saws (power); 1 large pattern-maker's lathe, 16-inch
swing; i 36-inch grindstone. In addition to these, the tool -room is sup-
plied with a variety of extra hand-tools for special work.

The forge shop equipment consists of 12 hand-forges of new pattern,
each with a set of smith's tools, anvil, etc. The blast for all the forges
is supplied by a No. 3 Sturtevant steel pressure blower (which also
furnishes blast for the foundry cupola), and a No. 15 Sturtevant exhaust
blower draws the smoke from the fires into the smoke-flues and forces
it out through the chimney.

The machine tools in the machine department are as follows: 6 en-
gine-lathes (screw-cutting) 14-inch swing, 6 foot bed; 2 engine-lathes 16-
inch swing (one with taper attachment); 1 speed lathe, 10-inch swing; 1

20-inch drill-press (power feed); 1 15-inch shaper; 1 22-inch x 22-inch x

5-foot friction planer; i universal milling machine; i corundum tool-
grinder (14-inch wheel); 1 bench grinding-machine (small); 1 post drill
press (14-inch). A part of this room is set apart for vise- work— chipping
and filing — and benches for 12 students are provided, each with vise and
sets of files, chisels, hammers, etc. In the tool-room is to be found a
good supply of machinists' tools for general shop use, such as lathe and
drill chucks, drills, reamers, taps, dies, gauges, files, cutting and meas-
uring tools, and special appliances for machine work, etc.

The nature of the work in each department is as follows :

1st year.

I. A course of carpentry (hand work covering the first
term and part of the second or about five months).

The lessons include instruction on the nature and use of
tools, instruction and practice in shop drawing, elementary-
work with plane, saw, chisel, etc., different kinds of joints —
timber-splices, cross joints, mortice and tennon, miter and
frame work, dovetail work comprising different kinds of
joints used in cabinet making, light cabinet work, examples
in building, framing, roof-trusses, etc.

II. A course in turning extending through the three months
-of the third term. The lessons comprise, first, nature and
use of lathe and tools, plain straight turning, caliper work
to different diameters and lengths, simple and compound
•curves, screw-plate and chuck-work, hollow and spherical
turning.

2nd year.

I. A course in pattern-making covering the first ha -If of
the first term. The work includes a variety of examples of
whole and split patterns, core work, etc., giving the students
familiarity with the use of patterns for general moulding.

II. *A course in moulding and casting in iron and brass oc-
cupying ten weeks. The work consists for the most part of
small articles, such as light machine parts, but a sufficient
variety of forms are introduced for the student to acquire a
.good general and practical knowledge of the usual methods
and appliances used in light foundry work. Most of the
work is in green sand in two-part flasks'; core work is also
.given, and some three-part flask and some dry sand work
is introduced.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 43

The same patterns which have been previously made by
students are used, besides special patterns for occasional
larger or more complicated work. Instruction and practice is
given in working the cupola, each student in turn taking
charge of a melting.

III. A course in forge-work in iron and steel occupying
the remainder of the year* The lessons are arranged so that
the students, in making the series of objects, become familiar
with the nature of the metals and the successive steps in
working them by hand into simple and complex forms, as
drawing, upsetting, bending, cutting, punching, welding by
various methods, tool forging, tempering, hardening, etc.

In connection with this second year work, a series of lect-
ures is given on the metallurgy and working of the metals
used in the industrial arts, cast and wrought iron, steel, brass,

^tc.

3rd year.

I. A course in chipping and filing covering the first term.
The lessons comprise work on cast and wrought iron : chip-
ping to line on flat and curved surfaces, key-seating, etc.;
filing and finishing to line (straight and curved), surface fil-
ing and finishing, fitting, slotting, dovetail work, sliding and
tight fits, sawing, pin, screw and key filing, surface finishing
with scraper^c.

II. Machine work occupying the remainder of the year.
The work includes cast and, wrought iron, steel and brass :
Turning to various diameters and lengths, taper turning, fac-
ing with chuck and face plate, drilling — both in lathe and drill
press — reaming, boring, screw cutting in lathe and with taps
and dies, planing, slotting, etc., with planer and shaper, mill-
ing various forms with the milling machine, fitting, grind-
ing, polishing, etc.

Lectures are also given during the year on various sub-
jects connected with machine work in metals: such as forms,
construction and use of the various machines, cutting tools,
gearing, gauges, screw threads, etc. Duing the last term
some piece of construction work is given the classes.

Instruction is generally given, first, by black-board draw-
ings or sketches which the student copies, with dimensions

in note-book, with which each one provides himself; thus
each one works from his own notes. This is supplemented,
whenever necessary, by the actual construction of the lesson
by the instructor before the class ; second by inspection and
direction at the bench by the instructor.

Students desiring to pursue the study of applied mechan-
ics beyond the above course will take a special course of
Steam and Mill Engineering, supplemented by experiment
and practice with the apparatus, including steam genera-
tion and the forms, construction and use of steam-boilers
and accompanying apparatus ; steam as a motive power, and
forms, construction and use of the steam engine, with the
study and use of the indicator ; transmission of powers-
shafting, belting, gearing, etc.; also elementary theoretical
mechanism.

Noti.— The work in the forge and foundry rooms was omitted the present ses-
sion, the rooms being occupied by the professor of chemistry.

MODERN LANGUAGES AND HISTORY.

GEORGE PETRIE, ADJUNCT PROFESSOR.
MODERN LANGUAGES.

The following regular courses are given in French and
German:

French— First year : Three recitations a week. During
this year the principal object is to acquire facility in reading
ordinary French at sight ; and to this end, the student
starts reading at an early stage and is practiced continually
in sight reading and in previously assigned selections.

Second year: Three recitations a week. During this
year more difficult and varied French is read, and careful
instruction is given upon the laws of grammar and the con-
struction of the language, while the principles thus learned
are illustrated and impressed by frequent exercises in ren-
dering English into French.

German.— One year : Five recitations a week. In this

course the aim and the methods are similar to those in the
first year in French.

— .

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 45

Special Courses. — In addition to these regular courses, ad-
ditional classes are formed for special study of the literature,
or for special study in any particular direction desired, when
the number of students desiring it is sufficient.

HISTORY.

In this department the aim is not so much to memorize
facts as to understand them. Strong emphasis is laid on
the fact that History is not a succession of isolated facts,
but a progressive whole, each event being at once the cause
and the effect ot other events. This causal relation of events
is closely studied and the students are taught to investigate
for themselves the growth of ideas, and to trace particularly
their development in the United States, so as to acquire a
practical knowledge of the history and present working of
our government arid institutions. The knowledge acquired
is rendered clear and permanent by frequent comparisons of
customs and laws, and also by diagrams, charts and
maps. Instruction is given by lectures and text-books,
while investigation is stimulated hy requiring essays and
by holding frequent discussions in the class-room.

The course covers one year and part of the next, an4 em-
braces the history of the United States, studies on our gov-
ernment and its institutions and on general history.

MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS.

LIEUT. RICHARDS, U. S. ARMY, COMMANDANT.

•

* Military Science and Tactics are required to be taught in
this Institution by law. This law is faithfully carried out
by imparting to each student, not physically incapacitated
to bear arms, practical instruction in the School of the
Soldier, of the Company and of the Battalion ; also in Guard
Mountings, Inspections, Dress Parades, Reviews, etc.

Under Section 1225 U. S. Revised Statutes, the College is
provided with modern Cadet rifles and accoutrements and two
pieces of field artillery. Ammunition for practice firing is
used under the direction of an experienced officer.

46 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

The following uniform of standard cadet gray cloth has
been prescibed for dress, viz. : Coats and pants as worn at
West Point, with sack coat for fatigue, dark blue cadet cap,
white helmet for dress occasions.

A very neat and serviceable uniform can be obtained here
at $18. This is less expensive than the usual clothing.
All students are required to wear this uniform during the
session.

The drills are short and the military duty involves no
hardships. The military drill is a health-giving exercise,
and its good effects in the development of the physique and
improvement of the carriage of the cadet are manifest.

The entire body of students is divided into companies.
Xhe officers are selected for proficiency in drill, deportment
and studies. Each company is officered by one Captain, one
1st Lieutenant, one 2nd Lieutenant, and with a proper num-
ber of Sergeants and Corporals. The officers and non-com-
missioned officers are distinguished by appropriate insignia of
rank. These appointments are conferred by the President
on nomination of the Commandant.

Privates of the first class may be excused by the Faculty
from all military drill except battalion drill.

The first and second classes recite once a week in Military
Tactics.

POST-GRADUATE DEGREES.

There are three Post-Graduate Degrees-MASTER OF SCIENCE, MINING
ENGINEER and CIVIL ENGINEER.

A Post-Graduate Degree may be obtained by a graduate
of this College, or of any other institution of equal grade, by
one year's residence at the College, spent in the successful
prosecution of a course of study in applied science prescribed
by the Faculty.

Candidates must also present to the Faculty a satisfactory
thesis, showing independent investigation upon some subject
pertaining to their course of study, and must pass a satis-
factory examination on the course of study prescribed.

Applicants for Post-Graduate Degree are by order of the
Board permitted to matriculate without payment of fees,

—

AGRICULTURAL, AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 47

except laboratory fees for those who work in the chemical
laboratory.

They are subject to the general regulations as other stu-
dents, but are exempt from all military duty.

Resident graduates, who are not candidates for a degree, are
permitted to matriculate and prosecute the studies in any
department of the College, except chemical laboratory, with-
out payment of regular fees.

DISTINCTIONS.

Distinctions will be awarded in the different subjects of
each class to those students whose grade for the entire year
is above 90 per cent., and who have satisfactorily passed
all the regular examinations of that session.

Certificates of Distinction are awarded in public on Com-
mencement day to those who obtain three Distinctions..
For the first class four Distinctions are required.

RECORDS AND CIRCULARS.

Daily records of the various exercises of the classes are
kept by the officers of instruction, in a form adapted to per-
manent preservation.

From the record a monthly circular, or statement, is sent
to the parent or guardian.

EXAMINATIONS.

Written recitations, or monthly examinations on the
studies of the month, are held at the option of the professor.

At the end of each term written or oral examinations, or
both, are held on the studies passed over during that term.

Special examinations are held only by ord<^ of the Fac-
ulty, and in no case will private examinations be permitted.

Students falling below the minimum grade at the final
examination can be promoted to full standing to the next
higher class only on satisfactory examinations at the open-
ing of the next session.

It is required that every student who enters the College
shall remain through the examinations at the end of the
term. Leaves of absence and honorable discharges will r

therefore, not be granted within six weeks of the examina-
tions, except in extreme cases.

Examinations for degrees or certificates of proficiency em-
brace the entire subject of study in the course.

LIBRARY.

A temporary room is appropriated to the Library until
the completion of the College building, but the number of
books at present is not large. Additions are made annually.

The Library is open at stated times, when students are
permitted to select books according to regulations prescribed

by the Faculty.

DISCIPLINE.

The government of. the College is administered by the
President and Faculty in accordance with the code of laws
and regulations enacted by the Trustees.

Attention to study, and punctuality in attendance on reci-
tations and all other duties, is required of every student.

LOCATION.

The College is situated in the town of Auburn, sixty miles
east of Montgomery, directly on the line of the Western Rail-
road.

The region is high and healthful, noted for its general good
health and entire freedom from malaria, having an elevation
of eight hundred and twenty-one feet above tide- water. By
statute of the State, the sale of spirituous liquors and keep-
ing saloons of any kind are forbidden.

THESIS.

Each applicant for a regular degree is required to write and
submit to the Faculty a thesis on a subject of immediate
relation to some study of his course, and deliver the same at
Commencement, if required by the Faculty.

This thesis must be given to the professor of English by
the first day of May.

LITERARY SOCIETIES.

There are two Literary Societies— the Wirt and Webster-
ian — connected with the College.

These Societies hold celebrations on the evenings of
Thanksgiving Day and the 22d of February, and also on
Tuesday evening of Commencement week. They elect ann u-
ally, with the approval of the Faculty, an orator to repre-
sent them at the close of the year.

SOCIETY OF THE ALUMNI.

The Annual Alumni Oration, by a member of the Society,
is delivered in the chapel during Commencement week. The
following are officers of the Society :

T. H. Frazer, M. D., President ; J. C. Street, Vice-Presi-
dent; C. C. Thach, Treasurer and Secretary; Caleb Lindsey,
Mobile, Alabama, Orator 1888; J. E. D. Shipp, Georgia, Al-
ternate.

OBJECT OF THE COLLEGE.

*""

The leading object of the College, in conformity with the
act of Congress and the acts of the State Legislature, is to
teach the principles and the applications of science.

In its courses of instruction it gives prominence to the
sciences and their applications, especially those that relate
to agriculture and the mechanic arts, so far as the facilities
at its disposal will permit ; and at the same time the discip-
line obtained by the stucty v of languages and other sciences
is not neglected. vs

All students are required to study the English language.
The Latin, French and German languages are also taught,
and opportunity for their study is offered to students in any
pourse. l - \

The special or technical instruction given is thus based on
a sound, general education.

The College, in fact, has become a distinctive school of in-
dustrial science— or Polytechnic Institute— a title which
by resolution of the trustees is permitted to be inscribed on
the catalogue— and work of grea,t value to tjpe youth of the
State is now being accomplished by fitting them, by a thor-
ough science-discipline, in which handcraft in the lower
classes is made a prominent feature, for the successful and
honorable performance of the responsible duties of life.

While every attention is given to the mental discipline of
the students in endeavoring to train them to habits of accu-
rate scientific thought, and thus to qualify them for the duties
of life, their moral and Christian training will always con-
stitute the prominent care and thought of the Faculty.

■^

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

LABORATORIES AND FACILITIES FOR

INSTRUCTION.

The College now possesses facilities for giving laboratory
instruction in applied science in the following departments :

I. — IN AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE.

The farm contains 226 acres and is suppliel with illustra-
tive specimens of stock of select varieties.

The agricultural experiment station, established in con-
nection with the College, where experiments and scientific
investigations relating to agriculture are daily made, affords
unusual opportunities to students to become familiar with
agriculture, its defects and remedies.

The students of agriculture accompany the professor in
the field, garden, conservatory, stock-yard, etc., where lectures
are delivered in presence of the object discussed, and during
the year exercises in practical agriculture and horticulture"
of an educational character are given the students who enter
upon this course of study.

II.— IN MECHANIC ARTS.

The laboratory of Mechanic Arts is used as an auxiliary
in industrial education, as a school of manual training in
the arts that constitute the foundation of various industrial
pursuits. The work performed by the students is instructive
in character, as in any other laboratory, and the classes are
taught in sections by a series of graded lessons under the
supervision of the professor. In the lower classes of the
College each student enters this school, and is aesigued three
exercises a week, each exercise being two hours long.

The object of this laboratory is not to teach a trade, but
to educate, to discipline and train the eye and the hand, as
well as the mind, and thus, by associating manual and men-
tal training, to thoroughly educate the student for the
duties of life, whatever his vocation may be. There is no
attempt to teach students spocial skill in constructing arti-

r-N/.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 7

cles of commercial value, but all the exercises are systemati-
cally arranged and designed for purposes of education.

The wood department is located in a commodious hall
90x50 feet, and is provided with a twenty-five horse power
Corliss engine, . with indicator, a planer, circular saw,
band-saw, two scroll saws, a buzz planer, twenty stands with,
lathes, with full sets of lathe and carpentry tools required
for instruction.

A brick building with two rooms, each 30x35 feet, has
been constructed especially for instruction in working iron.

One room is equipped with twelve forges and tools required
for a forge department, the other with a cupola furnace,
having a capacity of 1,000 pounds, a core oven, moulding
benches and special tools for use in a foundry.

The forge and foundry rooms are furnished with a Sturt-
evant fan and exhauster, Applied with power from the en-
gine.

The machine department is equipped with eight engine
lathes— one speed lathe, one 20-inch drill press, one post
drill, one shaper, one five-foot planer, one universal milling
machine, a corundum tool-grinder and small emery grinder.

The chipping and filing department is arranged with
benches and vises for twelve students.

The Weston dynamo of five horse-power, used at present
for lighting the halls, is located in the large hall of the Me-
chanic Art laboratory. r

It is designed, when the buildings now under construction
are completed, to supply the different laboratories with elec-
tricity by this dynamo.

Ill, — IN PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY.

The new chemical laboratory is supplied with new and
modern apparatus, and in its entire equipment affords ex-
cellent facilities for instruction in practical chemistry.

8 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

tains a large general laboratory that will accommodate sixty
students, and lecture room with capacity for one hundred
seats and nine other rooms, all appropriated to instruction
and research in chemistry.

It is equipped with the improved modern .appliances nec-
essary for instruction and investigation.

IV# _j N PHYSICS AND MINERALOGY.

V. — IN BOTANY, ETC.

VI. — IN ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING.

The necessary apparatus for field work has been provided
for the use of students, and the customary exercises in the
field are given.

VII. — IN DRAWING.

All the students in the lower classes are required to take
drawing, a study which tends to discipline the mind, as
well as to train the eye and hand to accuracy of observation
and execution.

VIII. — IN MILITARY TACTICS.

This department is under the charge of Lieut. J. B. Mc-
Donald, 10th Cavalry, U. S. A.

'. AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 9

It has recently been supplied with new cadet muskets
and accoutrements for the corps, arid for artillery practice,
with two three-inch rifle guns, carriages and limbers.

COLLEPE BUILDINGS.

The main College building was destroyed by fire on the 24th of June,
1887. The frontispiece is an engraving of the building, *6o by 71 feet,
now in process of construction. It will contain, exclusive of the base-
ment story, thirty -five rooms. This building will not be used for dor-
mitories for students, but will be appropriated for purposes of instruc-

tion. It will contain the lecture rooms and offices of the professors'
laboratories, library, museum, armory, etc. In October next all the
departments of the college will be in their permanent rooms in the new
building.

CHEMICAL LABORATORY.

The new chemical laboratory is a handsome two-story structure, 40
by 60 feet, with a rear projection 35 by 60 feet of one story and basement.
The exterior is of pressed brick, with cut stone trimmings, and terra-
cotta ornamentation.

the best possible means of escape for deleterious vapors, while ventilators
in the ceiling furnish additional means for getting rid of noxious gases.
The pitch is sixteen feet in the clear, with paneled ceiling of oiled south-
ern pine. The rooms are wainscoted throughout and finished in natural
wood.

The second story contains a lecture-room and room for gas analysis.
Around this lecture room are cases for containing crude and manufac-
tured products, illustrating the subjects of agricultural and industrial
chemistry, which are prominent subjects taught in this institution.

LANGDON HALL. •

This is a two- story building, ninety by fifty feet. The second story is
the audience hall, used for commencement and other public occasions.

The first story is appropriated to the laboratory of Mechanic Arts.
This building is at present temporarily used for recitation rooms, and
will continue to be so used until the completion of the new College
building.

in the Fourth class, should be qualified to pass a satisfactory
examination in Latin grammar and the first books of Caesar,
in addition to the above subjects.

For admission to the higher classes, students should be
prepared to stand a satisfactory examination on all the
studies of the lower classes, as shown in the courses of study.
Where opportunity has not been offered to pursue special
studies required at this College, the system of equivalents
will be adopted, and studies which denote an equivalent
amount of discipline and training will be accepted as satis-
factoyr. V

ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS:

Entrance examinations will be held on Wednesday the
11th of September, the day on which the session opens.
Candidates will also be examined during the session, when
application is made for admission. x

Applicants who are not prepared to stand the entrance
examinations for full admission to the fourth class, includ-
ing those of fourteen years of age, are admitted to the sub-
college department, which includes the fourth class, Sec. B.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

They will be advanced to full admission to the fourth
class when they are qualified to pass satisfactorily the requir-
ed examinations.

Students upon their arrival at* Auburn will report immediately to the
President. No student will be admitted to a recitation in any class pre'
vlous to matriculation.

NUMBER OF EXERCISES REQUIRED.

All students are required to have not less than fifteen
recitations per week, or their equivalent, in addition to the
exercises in laboratory work, drawing and military drill.
These additional exercises occupy not less than twelve hours
per week, and in all give twenty-seven exercises per week
required. '

SPECIAL STUDENTS.

Students who are qualified to prosecute the studies of the
second class, and those oyer twenty-one years of age who are
not candidates for a degree, are permitted to take, with the
advice of the Faculty, the subjects of study they may prefer
and for which they may be qualified ; all other students will
be assigned to one of the regular prescribed courses of study,
unless otherwise ordered by the Faculty. Regular students
who fail to pass satisfactory final examinations in any one
study become special students.

They will be classed as regular students pursuing a course
for a degree, whenever they can pass the examinations in
those subjects in which they were found deficient.

Students who are not in full standing in all the prescribed
studies of a class, rank in the military department with
that class in which they have the greater number of studies,
and their names are so placed in the catalogue.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

The courses of study include the Physical, Chemical and
Natural Sciences with their applications ; Agriculture, Me-
chanics, Astronomy, Mathematics, Engineering, Drawing,
English, French, German and Latin Languages, History,
Political Economy, Mental and Moral Sciences.

«o

26 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

These studies are arranged in regular courses so as to offer
a liberal and practical education as a preparation for the
active pursuits of life.

There are three Degree courses for undergraduates, each
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) and
requiring four years for its completion :

I. Course in Chemistry and Agriculture.

II. Course in Mechanics and Engineering.

III. General Course.

There are also two partial courses, each requiring two
years for its completion : -

IV. Two Ye\rs' Course in Agriculture.

V. Two Years' Course in Mechanic Arts.

Course I. includes theoretical and practical instruction in
those branches that relate to chemistry and agriculture, and
is especially adapted to those who propose to devote them-
selves to agriculture or chemical pursuits.

Course II. includes the principles and>applications of the
sciences that directly relate to civil and mechanical engi-
neering, and is adapted t) those who expect to enter the
profession of engineering.

Courses IV. and V. have been arranged for the benefit of
those students who, for reasons satisfactory to themselves,
are unable to continue at college lour years and take one of
the regular degree courses.

Students who complete either of these two year courses
will, on passing a satisfactory examination, -receive certifi-
cates indicating their attainments.

Those who have completed the general course in each
department of the school of Mechanic Ar?s, and are qualified,
can enter upon a more extended technical course in Me-
chanical Engineering.

PREPARATORY COURSE IN PHARMACY.

Students who expect to become practical pharmacists can
enter upon a special course of Chemistry and Natural His-
tory and occupy all their time in the laboratories of these
departments, under the immediate direction of the professors.
With the excellent facilities offered in the new chemical
laboratory, scientific preparation of great value to the practi-
cal pharmacist can be obtained.

COURSE IN MINING ENGINEERING.

DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION.

PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY.

PRESIDENT BROUN.

The instruction is given by recitations from text-books
and lectures, illustrated by experiments. The first part of
the course is occupied with Elementary Rational Mechanics,
treated graphically.

This is followed by a full discussion of Molecular Mechan-
ics ; while due prominence is given to principles, frequent
reference is made to the applications of science.

The studies of the first class include Electricity and its
applications ; Optics, Astronomy and Meteorology.

Text- Books.— In Physics, Atkinson's Ganot. In Astronomy, White
and Young.

MATHEMATICS.

* PROF. SMITH.

The general course for the first two years embraces the first
yeafr, Algebra and Geometry, six books ; second year, Solid
Geometry, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, Surveying,'

Mensuration.

Two objects are sought to be attained : First, mental dis-
cipline. Second, a thorough knowledge of the principles of
pure mathematics and their practical applications.

Theoretical and practical instruction is given in the third
class in farm, town and government land surveying, divid-
ing land, mapping, plotting and computing of areas, etc. ;
also in the theory, adjustment and use of instruments.
3

-i

34 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

The class, in sections of six or eight, devote three after-
noons a week during the second and third terms to held

practice.

Mensuration includes an extended course in measure-
ments of heights and distances, plane, rectilinear and curvi-
linear figures, surfaces and volumes.

The completion of this course, common to all students
lays the foundation for the pure and applied Mathematics of
the Mechanical and Engineering course. Analytical Geom-
etry, Descriptive Geometry and Calculus are pursued in the
Engineering course. Especial attention is given to their

practical applications.

During the entire course, instruction in text-books is sup-
plemented by lectures. Solutions of original practical prob-
lems are required of the student, to make him familiar with
the application of principles and formulae.

TEXT-BOOKS.

Wentworth's Algebra, Wentworth's Geometry, Schuyler's Surveying,
Wentworth's Analytical Geometry, Waldo's Descriptive Geometry, Tay-
lor's Calculus, Olney's and Wentworth's Trigonometry.

NATURAL HISTORY AND GEOLOGY.

PROF. MELL.

Geology.— This subject is studied in the senior class, and
extends through the entire session. Special attention is
given to the geology of Alabama, and many illustrations are
drawn from the coal and iron fields, and other natural de-
posits of mineral in the State. The origin of ore deposits,
mineral springs, and geological relations of soils are carefully

studied.

There is also a course of advanced work in practical Geol-
ogy for the post-graduate students. This subject is pursued
by applicants for degrees of Master of Science and Mining
Engineering.

The second class in Engineering spend two terms in Min-
eralogy and blow-pipe work.

Botany.— The students of the third class begin the study

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

of Botany the first of March and continue it through the
session. Analytical work is made an important feature.
This class is provided with plants from the neighboring
fields, and taught how to determine their specific names.
The work is sufficiently exhaustive to enable the student,
after completing the course, to name any of the ordinary
weeds and grasses that he will encounter in this section.
All students of the third class are required to study Botany.
In the second class, in the course of Chemistry and Agri-
culture, an amount of time is devoted to systematic and
structural Botany, and to advanced laboratory work with
the microscope in the preparation of specimens showing
plant structure ; this work is not only sufficient to familiar-
ize the students with the methods of plant building and
cellular organization, but also to practise them in detecting
the various forms of fungi that are injurious to fruits and
vegetables. Excellent microscopes of the most, improved
patterns, and all the necessary chemicals and apparatus for
preparing and mounting vegetable tissues, are used by the
students. A dark room is attached to this laboratory for
micro-photographic work.

ALABAMA WEATHER SERVICE.

The United States Signal Service has established in Ala-
bama a State system for collecting meteorological data relat-
ing to climatic changes. The service is now in successful
operation with the central office located at this Institute.
Bulletins are issued at the close of each month, compiled
from reports sent the Director from numerous stations scat-
tered thoughout the State. An opportunity is thus offered
the students in Meteorology of becoming familiar with the
system so long successfully operated by tbe Department at
Washington.

other instruments for delicate and accurate work.

ENGLISH AND LATIN.

PROF. THACH.

ENGLISH.

In this department the students are carried through a sys-
tematic course of study in the English Language and litera-
ture. In the courses of study which do not include the
ancient classics, a full course in English is especially im-
portant. It is therefore designed, as much as the time
allotted permits, to familiarize these students by frequent
exercises with the standard authors of the language.
The course of study is as follows : '

Fourth Class.— Five hours a week ; study of grammar,
the principles of special and general composition, with fre-
quent brief papers illustrating the laws studied.

Whitney's Essentials, Lockwood's Lessons in Rhetoric.

Third Class— Three hours a week ; study of style, analysis
of selections of prose and poetry, frequent essays on lit-
erary and historic themes.

Genung's Rhetoric, Scudder's American Poems, Abbott's How to
Write Clearly. Weekly exercises in declamation are required of this
class.

Second Class— Three hours a week; critical study of
English Classics, History of English and American Litera-
ture, Logic, Essays.

-*\

4 2 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

Shawns History of English Literature, Abbott's English Lessons,
Hale's Longer English Poems. -

First Class.- Two hours a week, first term. Principles of
criticism and study of English Classics; second and third
terms, Political Economy. Two hours a week, first and sec-
ond terms, Mental Science; third term, Moral Science.

Shakespeare's Plays, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Wayland's Science
of Wealth, Hickok's Mental Science, Gregory's Christian Ethics.

Three original orations are required during the year of each student
in the first and second classes.

LATIN.

The subjects Uught in this department are the Latin
Language and Literature.

The modes of instruction are by translation from the Latin
texts into English and from English into Latin. The con-
stant use of black-boards adds much to the progress and ac-
curacy of the student.

A systematic course of exercises, illustrative of the princi-
ples of Latin etymology and syntax, is carried on in con-
nection with the reading of the authors prescribed. Special
attention is given to English derivatives from the Latin,
and to the corresponding idioms of the two languages.

The progress of the student is valued not so much by the
number of books read, as by his ability to read Latin and ex-
plain the principles of interpretation and construction.

Latin authors read :

Fourth Class.— Virgil, Cicero's Orations, Grammar and Composition.

Third Class.— Cicero, Composition.

Second Class.— Tacitus, Horace, Selections from Latin poets and
Prose writers, Classical Literature.
First Class.— Cicero's Tusculan Disputations, Terence, History of

Latin Literature.

MECHANIC ART.

G. H. BRYANT, B. S., INSTRUCTOR.
J. J, WILMORE, B. A. BLAKEY, ASSISTANTS.

The course in Manual Training covers three years, as fol-
lpws: First year, wood-working— carpentry and turning;
second year, pattern-making and foundry and forge work-
moulding, casting and smithing; third year, machine shop
— chipping and filing and machine work in metals.

This course is obligatory upon the students of the three
lower classes (5th, 4th and 3d). For satisfactory reasons a
student may be excused from this laboratory work by the

Faculty.
The full work of each class is six hours per *eek, in three

exercises of two hours each.

. The power for running the apparatus in this department is derived
from a twenty-five horse power Harris-Corliss automatic engine, which
is supplied with steam by a thirty horse-power steel horizontal tubular
boiler. A steam pump and a heater for the feed water form a part of
the steam apparatus. For the steam plant a substantial brick boiler-
house and chimney have been erected.

The equipment for the wood- working shop comprises the following:
20 double wood-working benches, each with complete set of carpenter's
tools; 20 turning-laths, 10-inch swing, each with complete set of tools;
1 double circular saw; 1 band saw; 1 board-planing machine; 1 buzz
planer; 2 scroll saws (power); 1 large pattern- maker's lathe, i6inch
swing; 1 36-inch grindstone. In addition to these, the tool-room is sup-
plied with a variety of extra hand-tools for special work.

sets of files, chisels, hammers, etc. In the tool-room is to be found a
good supply of machinists' tools for general shop use, such as lathe and
drill chucks, drills, reamers, taps, dies, gauges, files, cutting and measur-
ing tools, and special appliances for machine work, etc.

The nature of the work in each department is as follows :

1st year.

I. A course of carpentry (hand work covering the first
term and part of the second, or about five months.)

The lessons include instruction on the nature and use
of tools, instruction and practice in shop drawing, elementary
work with plane, saw, chisel, etc., different kinds of joints— '
timber-splices, cross joints, mortice and tenon, mitre and
frame work, dovetail work comprising different kinds of
joints used in cabinet making, light cabinet work, examples
in building, framing, roof-trusses, etc.

II. A course in turning extending through the three
months of the third term. The lessons comprise, first, na-
ture and use of lathe and tools, plain straight turning, cal-
iper work to different diameters and lengths, simple and
compound curves, screw-plate and chuck-work, hollow and
spherical turning.

2d year.

and appliances used in light foundry work. Most of the
work is in green sand in two-part flasks ; core work is also
given, and some three-part flask and some dry sand work
is introduced.

The same patterns which have been previously made by
students are used, besides special patterns for occasional
larger or more complicated wor^. Instruction and practice
is given in working the cupola, each student in turn taking
charge of a melting.

III. A course in forge work in iron and steel occupying
the remainder of the year. The lessons are arranged so that
the students, in making the series of objects, become familiar
with the nature of the metals and the successive steps in
working them by hand into simple and complex forms, as
drawing, upsetting, bending, cutting, punching, welding by
various methods, tool-forging, tempering, hardening, etc.

In connection with this second year work, a series of lect-
ures is given on the metallurgy and working of the metals
used in the industrial arts, cast and wrought iron, steel,
brass, etc.

3d year.

I. A course in chipping and filing covering the first term.
The lessons comprise work on cast and wrought iron : Chip-
ping to line on flat and curved surfaces, key-seating, etc.;
filing and finishing to line (straight and curved), surface fil-
ing and finishing, fitting, slotting, dovetail work, sliding and
tight fits, sawing, pin, screw and key filing, surface finish-
ing with scraper, etc.

II. Machine work occupying the remainder of the year.
The work includes cast and wrought iron, steel and brass :

Lectures are also given during the year on various sub-
jects connected with machine work in metals: Such as forms,..

46 AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

construction and use of the various machines, cutting tools,
gearing, gauges, screw threads, etc. During the last term
some piece of construction work is given the classes.

Instruction is generally given, first, by black-board draw-
ings or sketches which the student copies, with dimensions
in note-book, with which each one provides himself; thus
each one works from his own notes. This is supplemented,
whenever necessary, by the actual construction of the lesson
by the instructor before the class; second by inspection and
direction at the bench by the instructor,

Students desiring to pursue the study of applied mechan-
ics beyond the above course will take a special course of
Steam and Mill Engineering, supplemented by experiment
and practice with the apparatus, including steam generation
and the forms, construction and use of steam-boilers and ac-
companying apparatus ; steam as a motive power^ and forms,
construction and use of the steam engine, with the study
and use of the indicator; transmission of power— shafting,
belting, gearing, etc.; also elementary theoretical mechan-
ism.

MODERN LANGUAGES AND HISTORY.

GEORGE PETRIE, ADJUNCT PROFESSOR.
MODERN LANGUAGES.

The following regular courses are given in French and
German :

French.— First year: Three recitations a week. During
this year the principal object is to acquire facility in reading
ordinary French at sight ; and to this end, the student starts
reading at an early stage and is practiced continually in sight
reading and in previously assigned selections.

Second year : Three recitations a week. During this year
more difficult and^arifyl French is read, and careful instruc-
tion is given upon the laws of grammar and the construc-
tion of the language, while the principles thus learned are
illustrated and impressed by frequent exercises in rendering
English into French.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

German. — Two years : Two recitations a week the first year,
three a week the second year. In this course the aim and
the methods are similar to those in the French.

HISTORY.

In this department the aim is not so much to memorize
facts as to understand them. Strong emphasis is laid on the
fact that History is not a succession of isolated facts, but a
progressive whole, each event being at once the cause and
the effect of other events. This causal relation of events is
closely studied and the students are taught to investigate
for themselves the growth of ideas, and to trace particularly
their development in the United States, so as to acquire a
practical knowledge of the history and present working of
our government and institutions. The knowledge acquired
is rendered clear and permanent by frequent comparisons of
customs and laws, and also by diagrams, charts and maps.
Instruction is given by lectures and text-books, while in-
vestigation is stimulated by requiring essays and by holding
frequent discussions in the class-room.

The course covers one year and a part of the next, and
embraces the history of the United States, studies on our
government and its institutions and on general history.

MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS.

LIEUT. J. B. MCDONALD, U. S. ARMY, COMMANDANT.

Military Science and Tactics are required to be taught in
this institution by law. This law is faithfully carried out
by imparting to each student, not physically incapacitated
to bear arms, practical instruction in the School of the
Soldier, of the Company and of the Battalion ; also in Guard
Mountings, Inspections, Dress Parades, Reviews, etc.

hardships. The military drill is a health-giving exercise
and its good effects in the development of the phynque and
improvement of the carriage of the Cadet are manifest.

The entire body of students is divided into companies.
The officers are selected for proficiency in drill, deportment
and studies. Each company is officered by one Captain,
two 1st Lieutenants, one 2d Lieutenant, and with a proper
number of Sergeants and Corporals. The officers and non-
commissioned officers are distinguished by appropriate in-
signia of rank. These appointments are conferred by the
President on nomination of the Commandant.

Privates of the first class may be excused by the Faculty
from all military drill.

The first and second classes recite once a week in Military

Tactics.

POST-GRADUATE DEGREES.

There are three Post-Graduate Degrees-MASTER OF SCIENCE,
MINING ENGINEER and CIVIL ENGINEER.

A Post-Graduate Degree may be obtained by a graduate
of this College, or of any other institution of equal grade, by
one year's residence at the CQllege, spent in the successful
prosecution of a course of study in applied science prescribed
by the Faculty.

Candidates must also present to the Faculty a satisfactory
thesis, showing independent investigation upon some subject

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

pertaining to their course of study, and must pass a satis-
factory examination on the course of study prescribed. The
examination is written and oral in presence of the Faculty.

Applicants for Post-Graduate Degree are by order of the
Board, permitted to matriculate without payment of fees,
except laboratory fees for those who work in the chemical
laboratory.

They are subject to the general regulations as other stu-
dents, but exempt from all military duty.

Resident graduates, who are not candidates for a degree,
are permitted to matriculate and prosecute the studies in
any department of the College, except chemical laboratory,
without payment of regular fees.

DISTINCTIONS.

Certificates of Distinction are awarded in public on Com-
mencement day to those who obtain three Distinctions.
For the first class four Distinctions are required.

RECORDS AND CIRCULARS.

Daily records of the various exercises of the classes are
kept by the officers of instruction, in a form* adapted to per-
manent preservation.

From the record a monthly circular, or statement, is sent
to the parent or guardian.

EXAMINATIONS.

Written recitations, or monthly examinations on the
studies of the month, are held at the option of the professor.

At the end of each term written or oral examinations, or
both, are held on the studies passed over during that term.

Special examinations are held only by order of the Fac-
ulty, and in no case will private examinations be permitted.

Students falling below the minimum grade at the final

examination, can be promoted to full standing to the next
higher class only on satisfactory examinations at the open-
ing of the next session.

It is required that every student who enters the College
shall remain through the examinations at the end of the
term. Leaves of absence and honorable discharges will,
therefore, not be granted within six weeks of the examina-
tion, except in extreme cases.

Examinations for degrees or certificates of proficiency em-
brace the entire subject of study in the course. „

LIBRARY.

A temporary room is appropriated to the Library until
the completion of the College building, but the number of
books at present is not large. Additions are made annually.

The Library is open at stated times, when students are
permitted to select books according to regulations prescribed
by the Faculty.

DISCIPLINE.

The government of the College is administered by the
President and Faculty in accordance with the code of laws
and regulations enacted by the Trustees.

Attention to study, and punctuality in attendance on
recitations and all other duties, is required of every student.

Students are not allowed to have in their possession weap-
ons or arms not issued for the performance of military
duty.

RELIGIOUS SERVICE.

By messing the cost of board has been reduced by a few
students to $8.50 per month. For students entering after
January 1st, the fees for half session only are required.

CONTINGENT FEE.

A contingent fee of five dollars is required, to be deposited
by each student on matriculation, to cover any special or
general damages to College property for which he may be
liable.

At the close of the session the whole of the contingent fee,
or the unexpended balance, will be refunded to the student.

AMOUNT OF DEPOSIT.

Each student on entering College should deposit with the
Treasurer not less than 850.00 to pay the expenses of fees,
one month's board, uniform, books, etc.

FUNDS OF STUDENTS.

Parents and guardians are advised to deposit with the
Treasurer of the College all funds desired for sons or wards,
whether for regular charges of College fees and board, or for
any other purpose. It is the duty of this officer to keep
safely all funds placed in his hands, and to pay all expenses
incurred by the students, including board, uniform, books,
etc., when approved.

When funds are deposited, checks are drawn on the Treas-
urer of the College by the cadet to pay his necesssary ex-

EQUIPMENT AND WORK OF THE STATION.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

The Agricultural Department of the Experiment Station was or-
ganized under State law in July, 1883, and hence there was much
work already in progress when it was merged into the Station organ-
ized under the Congressional act known as the "Hatch Bill," April 1st,
1888. Its equipment has been very much improved through the
Congressional appropriation and its sphere of operation extended.
The farm of 226 acres, occupied by the Station under State law, and
owned by the State is used by the Station under the present organiza-
tion When purchased in 1883 it was in a very dilapidated condition;
much of the land having been turned out in the commons, and a
large portion washed into gulleys.

THE PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS

are a dwelling of seven rooms, occupied by the Director ; a four room
cottage, occupied by the Foreman; a neat, new cottage containing
offices for the Director and his assistants, and a museum and prepara-
tion room; a substantial two-story barn; a two story gin house with
sides and top covered with corrugated iron; a silo, dairy and ice-house;
large cow stable; engine and boiler house; corn-crib, too rooms, etc.
The water supply for the green-house and horticultural grounds are
furnished by two hydraulic rams which utilize the waste from two
fish ponds.

THE EQUIPMENT

consists of a twenty-horse power boiler and fifteen- horse power en-
gine the latter placed between the barn and gin house so as to drive
with equal facility a line of shafting upon each building.

A fortysaw Pratt gin. with feeder and condenser attached, and a
power press, are in position in the gin-house. and afford the means of
accurate experimentation with cotton.

A feed mill and cotton-seed crusher has been provided for grinding
food for stock, and crushing the green cotton-seed for the purpose of
nL satisfactorily experimenting with them, both as stock food and

"a Ross Milage cutter serves the purpose of cutting ensilage for
filling the silo during the summer and dr.ed hay in winter.

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COtLfc&tf.

A complete grain separator is stationed by the gin-house and is op-
erated by the same shafting that runs the gin and cotton press. A
mower, horse-rake and cutaway harrow have been added to the outfit
for field work.

Miss Clementine Snow, of Oxford, Alabama, has presented the
Station with a sulky plow and cultivator, a rotary-tooth harrow, feed-
cutter, etc., thus supplementing with most useful implements the pur-
chased outfit.

A complete dairy equipment has been purchased, including the
Cooly creamery and the De Laval separator, and the cow stable has
twelve thoroughbred Jerseys.

The pig sties are supplied with thoroughbred Essex and cross-bred
Berkshire pigs, and feeding experiments are made to test the compar-
ative value and economy of different Southern field products as pork
producers.

The horticultural department has been rapidly developed. A large
number of varieties of apples, pears, peaches, plumbs, figs, grapes,
strawberries and raspberries are undergoing experimental test as to
their comparative productiveness and adaption to this soil and climate.
These undergo the most critical observation as to habits of growth,
healthfulness, productiveness, character and quality of fruit and liabil-
ity of plants and fruit to attack of insects or disease.

IN THE FIELD.

A variety of inquiries have been made as to the fertilizers best
suited to supply the needs of the soil for the most profitable growth of
our field crops, the choice of the plants as to the sources of supply of
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, and especially as to the forms in
which the latter is presented. Especial attention has been given to the
undergrowth of our cultivated plants and the effects of different
methods of cultivation upon the development and consequent produc-
tiveness of the plant. By means of water under-pressure the soil has
been removed from the roots of corn and cotton plants at different
stages of growth and under different systems of cultivation.

Experiments have been conducted with cotton, corn, forage plants,
small grain, ground-peas, sweet and Irish potatoes.

The results of all experiments are published in bulletins from time
to time, and these distributed for the benefit of the farmers.

The interests of the amateur and the commercial gardener have not
been overlooked, but a great variety of experiments have been made
with melons and vegetables, involving the expenditure of much time
in making the daily observations necessary to collect the facts of most

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 67

interest to the grower of these perishable products. Especial atten-
tion has been given to inquiries as to earliness and productiveness
of different varieties.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY.

The Chemical Department of the Agricultural Experiment Station,
in connection with the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama,
includes in its present organization, the Chemist and three assistants.

The new building for the Department of Chemistry is completed in all
.its arrangements and admirably adapted to meet the growing demand
of modern progress in this department of science. In this building, a
description of which is given in this catalogue, is* located the State
Chemical Laboratory where all the chemical works of the Experiment
Station are carried on. The greatest care has been taken to secure the
very best form of work tables, niches and hoods lor carrying off offen-
sive fumes, sinks, gas, water and other conveniences and necessaries

for effective work.

The equipment is the very best that can be secured from manufac-
turers in this country and in Europe. In addition to the apparatus
usually found in chemical laboratories and especially where soils,
fertilizers, feed stuffs and dairy products are analyzed and their prop-
erties and capabilities investigated, may be mentioned, a new Schmidt
& Haensch's Polariscope for sugar determinations, Zeiss' microscope
and Refractometer, and a new and special arrangement for carrying on
at the same time a number of nitrogen determinations by the Kjeldahl
method. The Library of the Experiment Station contains a large
number of standard works of reference and is supplied with the princi-
pal French, English and German scientific journals.

In addition to the work directly connected with the Station, the
Chemist is Professor of General and Agricultural Chemistry in the
Agricultural and Mechanical College and Official Chemist of the State
Department of Agriculture. On.the application of the Commissioner
of Agriculture he is required by law to "analyze and certify the analysis
of all fertilizers, samples of which are furnished him."

The variety and extent of this work can be seen from the following
tabular statement of the number and character of the quantitative
analyses made during the year 1888. In the analyses of fertilizers only
those constituents have been determined which are required under th
State law, viz.: water soluble, citrate soluble, and acid soluble phos-
phoric acid, nitrogen and potash.

In addition to the above, a considerable number of mineralogical
specimens, the character of which could be ascertained by simple qual-
itative tests, were examined and their value determined.

The details of the quantitative work done are to be found in the
quarterly bulletins issued during the year.

DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY AND METEOROLOGY.

This department was not organized until the year was about half
gone, and little could be done toward collecting plants for study be-
fore the early frosts. The assistant, however, was placed in the field
as soon as possible, and many of the wild plants of the county, where
the college is located, were collected and pressed for future examina-
tion. These plants represent species of grasses, weeds and woods,

AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE. 69

In the last two quarterly bulletins partial lists of the woods of Ala-
bama were published, with descriptions of some of the most valuable
specimens. This work on the woods will be continued from time to
time until the entire State is covered. The large number of specimens
of grasses and weeds collected since the burning of the college muse-
um have been assorted, and manuscripts have been prepared for pub-
lication in future bulletins. Much work has been done toward classi-
fying the noxious weeds of Eastern Alabama, and results of experi-
ments are being collated to show the farmers how to eradicate them

from the cultivated fields.

Many experiments under the microscope have been made on twelve
varieties of the cotton plant to show the effect produced on the fibre
by different methods of cultivation. A number of sections have been
made of the plant during its different stages of growth and carefully
photographed. Measurements have been made of the fibre and its

strength detei mined. . u*mm*

Besides the college station, reports are received from twenty-six ob-
servers in different sections of the State, who are supplied, through the
the liberality of the Chief Signal Officer, with maximum and minimum
thermometers and rain gauges. From the data obtained from these
observers regular monthly bulletins have been issued since 1884, and
distributed among the farmers of the State. Weekly bulletins, indi-
cating the effects produced upon the crops by the changes of the
weather, are issued on every Saturday during the crop season.

OBJECT OF THE COLLEGE.

The leading object of the College, in conformity with
the act of Congress and the acts of the State Legislature,
is to teach the principles and the applications of science.

In its course of instruction it gives prominence to the
sciences and their applications, especially those that relate
to agriculture and the mechanic arts, so far as the facilities
at its disposal will permit ; and at the same time the dis-
cipline obtained by the study of languages and other
sciences is not neglected.

All students are required to study the English language-
The Latin, French and German languages are also taught,
and opportunity for their study is offered to students in any
course.

The special or technical instruction given is thus based
on a sound, general education.

The College, in fact, has become a distinctive school of
industrial science — or Polytechnic Institute — a title
which by resolution of the trustees is permitted to be in-
scribed on the catalogue — and work of great value to the
youth of the State is now being accomplished by fitting
them, by a thorough science-discipline, in which handi-
craft in the lower classes is made a prominent feature, for
the successful and honorable performance of the respon-
sible duties of life.

While every attention is given to the mental discipline
of the students in endeavoring to train them to habits of
accurate scientific thought, and thus to qualify them for
the duties of life, their moral and Christian training will
always constitute the prominent care and thought of the
Faculty.

■i

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

LABORATORIES AND FACILITIES FOR

INSTRUCTION.

The College npw possesses facilities for giving labo-
ratory instruction in applied science in the following
departments :

I. — IN AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE

The farm contains 226 acres and is supplied with illus-
trated specimens of stock of select varieties.

The agricultural experiment station, established in con-
nection with the College, where experiments and scien-
tific investigations relating to agriculture are daily made,
affords unusual opportunities to students to become
familiar with agriculture, its defects and remedies.

The students of agriculture accompany the professor in
the field, garden, conservatory, stock-yard, etc., where
lectures are delivered in presence of the object discussed,
and during the year exercises in practical agriculture are
given the students who enter upon this course of study.

II IN MECHANIC ARTS.

The laboratory of Mechanic Arts is used as an auxiliary
in industrial education, as a school of manual training in
the arts that constitute the foundation of various industrial
pursuits. The work performed by the students is instructive
m character, as in any other laboratory, and the classes
are taught in sections by a series of graded lessons under
the supervision of the professor. In the lower classes of
the College each student enters this school , and is assigned
three exercises a week, each exercise being two hours
long.

The object of this laboratory is not to teach a trade, but
to educate to discipline and train the eye and the hand, as
well as the mind, and thus, by associating manual and

Agricultural and Mechanical College. 7

mental training, to thoroughly educate the student for the
duties of life, whatever his vocation may be. There is no
attempt to teach students special skill in constructing arti-
cles of commercial value, but all the exercises are system-
atically arranged and designed for purposes of education.

The wood department is located in a commodious hall
90x50 feet, and is provided with a twenty-five horse power
Corliss engine, with indicator, a planer, circular saw, band-
saw, two scroll saws, a buzz planer, twenty stands with
lathes, with full sets of lathe and carpentry tools required
for instruction.

A brick building with two rooms, each 30x35 feet has
been constructed especially for instruction in working

iron.

One room is equipped with sixteen forges and tools re-
quired for a forge department, the other with a cupola
furnace, having a capacity of 1,000 pounds, a core oven,
moulding benches and special tools for use in a foundry.

The forge and foundry rooms are furnished with a
Sturtevant fan and exhauster, supplied with power from
the engine.

The machine department is equipped with "eight engine
lathes— one speed lathe, one 20-inch drill press, one post
drill, one shaper, one five-foot planer, one universal mill-
ing machine, a corundum tool-grinder and small emery
grinder.

The chipping and filing department is arranged with
benches and vises for twelve students.

The Weston dynamo, used at present for lighting the
halls, is located in a room adjoining the Mechanic Art
laboratory, and is run by a ten-horse power engine, con-
structed by the students in the Mechanic Arts.

It is designed to supply the different laboratories with
electricity by this dyiiamo.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

UI. — IN PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY.

The new chemical laboratory is supplied with new and
modern apparatus, and in its entire equipment affords ex-
cellent facilities for instruction in practical chemistry.

The investigations that are undertaken in this laboratory
by scientific experts, in connection with the work of the
agricultural experiment station, are of especial value to
advanced students, and afford them unusual opportunities
to learn the methods of scientific research. The building
contains a large general laboratory that will accommodate
sixty students, and lecture room with Capacity for one
hundred seats, and nine other rooms, all appropriated to
instruction apd research in chemistry.

It is equipped with the improved modern appliances
necessary for instruction and investigation.

IV. — IN PHYSICS.

In the new College building provision will be made for
laboratory work in the department of physics. Special
rooms in the basement are appropriated for this purpose,
and it is designed to equip them with all necessary appli-
ances. An improved testing machine, of 35,000 pounds
capacity, has recently been purchased of Riehle Bros,
for this laboratory.

V. — IN MINERALOGY.

This laboratory occupies a convenient room in the base-
ment, and is provided with tables and appliances to
accommodate twenty students.

VI. — IN BOTANY.

In the work of the agricultural experiment station, in-
vestigations in botany are given special attention, and
unusual opportunities are offered advanced students for
practical work in a laboratory especially fitted with micro-
scopes, tables, a dark room for photographic work, and
appliances needed for instruction and research.

'Agricultural and Mechanical College. 9

VII. — IK BIOLOGY.

The laboratory in this department adjoins the lecture
room of the professor, and is furnished with tables, micro-
scopes and appliances for investigation. Each student of
the class works under the supervision of the professor.

VIII. — IN ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING.

The necessary apparatus for field work, including tran*
sits, levels, plane table, etc., is provided for the use of the
students, and the customary exercises in the field are given.

IX. — IN DRAWING.

All the students in the lower classes are required to take
drawing, a study which tends to discipline the mind, as
well as to train the eye and hand to accuracy of observa-
tion and execution. A large, well-lighted drawing room,
that will accommodate fifty students, is provided with
tables, lock boxes, etc.

MILITARY TACTICS.

This department is under the charge of Lieut. J. B
McDonald, 10th Cavalry, U. S. A.

It has recently been supplied with new cadet muskets
and accoutrements for the corps, and, for artillery practice,
with two three-inchrrifle guns, carriages and limbers.

DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION.

PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY.

PRESIDENT BROUN.

The instruction is given by recitations from text-books
and lectures, illustrated by experiments. The first part
of the course is occupied with Elementary Rational
Mechanics, treated graphically.

This is followed by a full discussion of Molecular
Mechanics ; while due prominence is given to principles,
frequent reference is made to the applications of science.

The studies of the first class include Electricity and its
applications; Optics, Astronomy and Meteorology.

Text-Book?.— In Physics, Atkinson's Ganot. In Astronomy,
Young.

MATHEMATICS.

PROF. SMITH.

The general course for the first two years embraces the
first year, Algebra and Geometry, six books ; second year,
Solid Geometry, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, Sur-
veying, Mensuration.

Two objects are sought to be attained: First, mental
discipline ; second, a thorough knowledge of the princi-
ples of pure mathematics and their practical applications.

Theoretical and practical instruction is given in the
third class in farm, town and government land surveying,
dividing land, mapping, plotting and computing of areas,
etc.; also in the theory, adjustment itod use of instruments.

Agricultural and Mechanical College. 47

The class, in sections of six or eight, devote three after-
noons a week during the second and third terms to field
practice.

Mensuration includes an extended course in measure-
ments of heights and distances, plane, rectilinear and
curvilinear figures, surfaces and volumes.

The completion of this course, common to all students T
lays thefoundation for the pure and applied Mathematics
of the Mechanical and Engineering course. Analytical
Geometry, Descriptive Geometry and Calculus are pur-
sued in the Engineering course. Especial attention is
given to their practical applications.

During the entire course, instruction in text-books is
supplemented by lectures. Solutions of original practical
problems are required of the student, to make him fa-
miliar with the application of principles and formulae.

TEXT-BOOKS.

Wentworth's Algebra, Wentworth's Geometry, Schuyler's Survey-
ing, Wentworth's Analytical Geometry, Waldo's Descriptive Ge-
ometry, Taylor's Calculus, Olney's and Wentworth's Trigonometry.

NATURAL HISTORY AND GEOLOGY.

PROF. MELL.

Geology. — This subject is studied in the senior class, and
extends through the entire session. Special attention is
given to the geology of Alabama, and many illustrations
are drawn from the coal and iron fields and other natural
deposits of mineral in the State. The origin of ore deposits,
mineral springs and geological relations of soils are care-
fully studied.

There is also a course of advanced work in practical
Geology for the post-graduate students. This subject is
pursued by applicants for degrees of Master of Science and
Mining Engineering.

The second class in Engineering spend two terms in Min-
eralogy and blow-pipe work.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Botany. — The students of the third class begin the study
of Botany the first of March and continue it through the
session. Analytical work is made an important feature.
This class is provided with plants from the neighboring
fields, and taught how to determine their specific names.
The work is sufficiently exhaustive to enable the student,
after completing the course, to name any of the ordinary
weeds and grasses that he will encounter in this section.
All students of the third class are required to study
Botany,

In the second class, in the course of Chemistry and Agri-
culture, an amount of time is devoted to systematic and
structural Botany, and to advanced laboratory work with
the microscope in the preparation of specimens showing
plant structure ; this work is sufficient to familiarize the
students with the methods of plant building and cellular
organization. Excellent microscopes of the most improved
patterns, and all the necessary chemicals and apparatus
for preparing and mounting vegetable tissues, are used by
the students. A dark room is attached to this laboratory
for micro-photographic work.

TEXT-BOOKS.

Le Conte's Geology, Gray's Botany, Dana's Mineralogy, Goodale's
Physiological Botany, Nelson's Herbarium and Plant Descriptions.

ALABAMA WEATHER SERVICE.

The United States Signal Service has established in Ala-
bama a State system for collecting meteorological data
relating to climatic changes. The service is now in suc-
cessful operation with the central office located at this In-
stitute. Bulletins are issued at the close of each month
compiled from reports sent the Director from numerous'
stations scattered throughout the State. An opportunity
is thus offered the students in Meteorology of becoming
familiar with the system so long successfully operated by
the Department at Washington.

questions involving a knowledge of Chemistry and Botany
— subjects not taught in the fourth class.

In the third class, in addition to the discussion of the
physical properties and mechanical treatment of soils, the
methods of studying their chemical defects and their
remedies are discussed. The sources of the important ele-
ments of plant food, ?ind their use upon different soils and
plants, the restoration of humus, saving home manures,
composts, commercial fertilizers, the office of different
chemical elements in plant development— the relations of
plant growth to soil and atmosphere, the theory and prac-
tice of restoration of crops, terracing and grading to pre-
vent washing, plows and plowing—indeed everything
connected with tilling the soil passes under review as
foundation work.

Southern agriculture is then treated in the concrete—
the historv, nature and cultivation of each of our field
crops discussed as regards their adaptation to and treat-
ment upon the soils of Alabama. This occupies the first
and second terms. The third term is devoted to domestic
and commercial horticulture, poultry, sheep, cattle-breed-
ing and management of the dairy, etc. In the second
class stock breeding and management is completed, and
a thorough course in pomology, including the propaga-
tion of nursery stock, planting, manuring, pruning, culti-
vating, harvesting and marketing every species of fruit,
treated theoretically and practically, occupies the re-
mainder of the session. Barry's Fruit Garden, corrected

BIOLOG5T.

PROFESSOR ATKINSON.

Elementary Biology. Three lectures a week during
the second term will be given to the fourth class upon the
elementary principles of biology. The course will include
a discussion of the fundamental physiological properties
of animal and plant life. The lectures will be supple-
mented by experiments, demonstrations and microscopic
illustrations before the class.

Practical Biology. This subject is presented by lec-
tures twice a week to the senior students in Agriculture
and Chemistry.. The first part of the year will be devoted
to the study of fungi, giving prominence to those which
cause diseases of cultivated plants. This will be followed
with the study of insects, including those injurious and
beneficial to Agriculture. Special attention will be given
to methods employed in combating the attacks of fungi
and insects upon plants.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

The reference books will be announced to the classes.
The department contains a carefully selected library of
the standard works on biology and many rare and valua-
ble works, besides current periodicals adopted to aid in
the special investigations carried on in the laboratory.

MODERN LANGUAGES AND HISTORY.

C. tf. BARNWELL, JR., ADJUNCT PROFESSOR.
MODERN LANGUAGES.

The following regular courses are given in French and
German :

French. — First Year: Three recitations a week. Du-
ring this year the principal object is to acquire a thor-
ough knowledge of the elements of grammar, and a cor-
rect pronunciation, together with facility in translating
ordinary French. Reading is begun at an early stage,
and the principles of grammar are illustrated and im-
pressed by frequent exercises in rendering English into
French.

Second Year: Three recitations a week. During this
year, the same line of work^is pursued as that begun in
the previous year. More difficult and varied French is
read, and careful instruction is given upon the laws of
grammar and the construction of the language.

German.— Two Years: Two recitations a week the
first year, three a week the second year. In this course
the aim and the methods are similar to those in French.

Special Courses.— In addition to these regular courses,
additional classes are formed for special study in the lit-
erature, or for special study in any particular direction
desired, when the number of students desiring it is suffi-
cient.

HISTORY.

In this department the aim is not so much to memo-
rize facts as to understand them. Strong emphasis is laid
on the fact that History is not a succession of isolated
facts, but a progressive whole, each event being at once
the cause and the effect of other events. This causal
relation of events is closely studied and the students are
taught to investigate for themselves the growth of ideas,
and to trace particularly their development in the United
States, so as to acquire a practical knowledge of the
history and present workings of our government and in-
stitutions. The knowledge acquired is rendered clear
arid permanent by frequent comparison of customs and
laws, and also by diagrams, charts and maps. Instruction,
is given by lectures and text-books.

The course covers one year and a part of the next, and
embraces the History of the United States, studies on our
government and its institutions and on general history.

TEXT-BOOKS.

First year: Johnston's U. S. History, and Swinton's "Outlines of

out by imparting to each student, not physically incapac-
itated to bear arms practical instructi6n in the School
of the Soldier, of the Company and of the Battalion ; also
in Guard Mountings, Inspections, Dress Parades, Re-
views, etc.

Under section 1225, U. S. Kevised Statutes, the. Col-
lege is provided with modern Cadet rifles and accoutre-
ments and two pieces of field artillery. Ammunition
for practice firing is used under the direction of an expe-
rienced officer.

The following uniform of standard Cadet gray cloth
has been prescribed for dress, viz.: Coats and pants as
worn at West Point, with sack coat for fatigue, dark
blue Cadet cap. A neat and serviceable uniform can
be obtained here at $18. This is less expensive than the
usual clothing. All students are required to wear this
uniform during the session.

The entire body of students is divided into companies.
The officers are selected for proficiency in drill, deport-
ment and studies. Each company is officered by one
Captain, two 1st Lieutenants, one 2d Lieutenant, and
with a proper number of Corporals. The officers and
non-commissioned officers are distinguished by appropri-
ate insignia of rank. These appointments are confirmed
by the President on nomination of the Commandant.

The Second Class recites once a week in the United
Stats Infan try Tactics.

The First Class recites once a week in " Notes on Mili-
tary Science."

Agricultural and Mechanical College.
POST-GRADUATE DEGREES.

There are three Post-Graduate Degrees— MASTER OF SCIENCE,
MINING ENGINEER and CIVIL ENGINEER.

A Post-Graduate D.egree may be obtained by a graduate
of this College, or of any other institution of equal grade,.
by one year's residence at the College, spent in the success-
ful prosecution of a course of study in applied science pre-
scribed by the Faculty.

Candidates must also present to the Faculty a satis-
factory thesis, showing independent investigation upon
some subject pertaining to their course of study, and must
pass a satisfactory examination on the course of studjr
prescribed. The examination is written, and also oral, m
presence of the Faculty.

Applicants for Post-Graduate Degree are, by order of the^
Board, permitted to matriculate without payment of fees.

They are subject to the general regulations as other
students, but are exempt from all military duty.

Resident graduates, who are not candidates for a degree,.
are permitted to matriculate and prosecute the studies in
any department of the College, except chemical labora-
tory, without payment of regular fees.

DISTINCTIONS.

Distinctions are awarded in the different subjects of
each class to those students whose grade for the entire
year is above 90 per cent.

Certificates of Distinction are awarded in public on
Commencement day to those who obtain an average of
90 per cent, in all the prescribed studies of a regular class r
and also to those who obtain three distinctions in the
fourth class, four in the third or second class, and five in
the first class, provided they have satisfactorily passed all
the regular examinations of that session.

Agricultural and Mlchanical College.
TOUR OF OBSERVATION.

At the close of the second term an opportunity will be
given members of the senior class to inspect, under the
supervision of a member of the Faculty, some of the mines,
furnaces and manufactories of Alabama, accessible to the

College.

This inspection will prove an object lesson of value to
students who have prosecuted studies allied to engineering.

RECORDS AND CIRCULARS.

Daily records of the various exercises of the classes are
kept by the officers of instruction, in a form adapted to
permanent preservation.

From the record a monthly circular, or statement, is
sent to the parent or guardian.

EXAMINATIONS.

Written recitations, or monthly examinations on the
studies of the month, are held at the option of the pro-
fessor.

At the end of each term written or oral examinations,
or both, are held on the studies passed over during that

term.

Special examinations are held only by order of the
Faculty, and in no case will private examinations be per-
mitted.

Students falling below the minimum grade at the final
examination, can be promoted to full standing to the next
higher class only on satisfactory examinations at the open-
ing of the next session.

It is required that every student who enters the Col-
lege shall remain through the examinations at the end of
the term. Leaves of absence and honorable discharges

will, therefore, not be granted within six weeks of the
examination, except in extreme cases.
, Examinations for degrees or certificates of proficiency
embrace the entire subject of study in the course.

LIBRARY.

A commodious room in the new building has been ap-
propriated to the library. Having suffered severely by
the fire, it now needs a large supply of books, and the hope
is entertained that these will soon be provided. When this
is done, it is designed to make it an important educational
feature of the college. At present it has valuable refer-
ence books and a limited number suitable for students.
It is open daily, when students are permitted to select
books under prescribed regulations.

DISCIPLINE.

The government of the College is administered by the
President and Faculty, in accordance with the code of laws
and regulations enacted by the Trustees.

Attention to study, and punctuality in attendance on
recitations and all other duties, is required of every
student.

Students are not allowed to have in their possession
weapons or arms not issued for the performance of mili-
tary duty.

MILITARY DRILL.

There are three regular military drills each week, and all under-
graduate students, not physically incapacitated to bear arms, are re-
quired to engage in these exercises.

The drills are short, and the duty involves no hardships. ' The mil-
itary drill is a health-giving exercise, and its good effects in the
development of the physique and improvement of the carriage of the
Cadet are manifest.

Privates of the first class may be excused by the President from all
military drills, and also students over twenty-one years of age, who are
permitted to matriculate and devote their time to one special studv
as chemistry, agriculture, etc.

WORK OF THE STATION.

J. S. NEWMAN, Director and Agriculturist.

The work of the year 1889 has been partly printed in eight bul-
letins.

Bulletin No. 3, January, 1889, reported experiments with corn,
sweet patatoes, ground peas, turnips and grapes, analyses of fertili-
zers, soils, feed stuffs, a continued classification and description of
the woods of the State, and a meteorological report.

Bulletin No. 4 contained practical instructions for the cultivation
and management of strawberries, grapes and raspberries.

Bulletin No. 5 contained experiments with fertilizers under cotton,.
a comparison of the productiveness and general merits of different
varieties of cotton, and an inquiry as to the needs of typical soils of
the State. These were collected, soil and subsoil, placed under iden-
tical circumstances, and treated with different elements and combina-
tions of elements of plant food, and the response in the growth and
productiveness of the cotton plants noted. » It also contained resulte-
of experiments in pig feeding, description of barn and dairy, the re-
port of experiments with different home products, as butter-producers
analyses of soils, fertilizers and feed stuffs, and a report of the tem-
perature of the soil at depths from one inch to ninety inches, and at-
mospheric conditions and rainfall.

Bulletin No. 6 embodied a report of the Botanist upon "grasses and
their cultivation," with an account of their economic value as shown
by their nutritive constituents found by chemical analyses.

Bulletin No. 7 contained report of experiments with different spe-
cies of vegetables, and their classification with reference to the merits-
of the respective varieties ; resulte of some practical experiments with
different methods of setting milk, and a comparison of the economy
of the DeLaval separator with the Cooly system of creamery, with re- 1
suits m favor of the DeLaval ; a report of the meteorological condi-
tions, and a circular announcement of the Biologist, indicating the
line of work to be pursued.

Bulletin No. 8 contained a discussion of the formation and compo-
sition of soils ; the composition of plants; the sources of phosphoric-
acid, poteh and nitrogen employed in the manufacture of com-
mercial fertilizers; the value and uses of several home manurta^-
sources ; the manufacture of fertilizers ; the manipulation of com-
posts ; analyses of commercial fertilizers and some natural guanos

nas

Bulletin No. 9 consisted of a preliminary report of the investigations
of nematode root-galls, the injury effected by them to certain culti-
vated plants and noxious weeds, with some suggestions as [to means
to be used to diminish the injurious effects of this insidious enemy.

Bulletin No. 10 embodied a report of progress in grape culture upon
the station grounds, including methods of preparing, fertilizing and
cultivating the soil for this fruit, with a practical classification and de-
scription of the varieties which have fruited during the last two years.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY.

N. T. LUPTON.

The working force in the Chemical Department consists of the

chemist in charge and three assistants. In addition to the regular

work in connection with the Station, this Department is charged with

the chemical work of the State Department of Agriculture. This

includes the analyses of such fertilizers, minerals and products of all

description as, in the judgment of the Commissioner of Agriculture,

are necessary for the development of the industrial resources of the

State.

In addition to the quantitative work above mentioned, a large num-
ber of mineralogical specimens, the character of which could be as-
certained by simple qualitative tests, were examined and their values
determined.

A special bulletin was prepared during the year on commercial fer-
tilizers. It embraced a brief discussion of the composition aDd for-
mation of soils, their deterioration, the composition of plants, of com-
mercial fertilizers, the sources of materials used in the manufacture
of fertilizers, the estimation of commercial values, and the preparation
of composts.

DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY AND
METEOROLOGY.

P. H. MELL.

The work conducted in this department was of the following char-
acter :

I— A large number of species of grasses were collected during the
summer and spring, analyzed and studied, and descriptions, with
methods of cultivation, were published.

Il.-Sections of the wooded plants of the State are being prepared
and studies made of them.

III.— During the year many experiments have been made on the
cotton plant by means of the microscope and frequent field observa-
tions. Twenty-three varieties were included in these investigations.
A number of cross sections were made of the fibres, to determine the
degree of maturity. Careful examinations were made, also, to deter-
mine the effect produced upon the cellular structure of the plant by
certain kinds of fertilization and cultivation ; to note, also, if any ma-
terial difference actually existed between the various brands of cotton
sold in the market under the many different names.

IV.— Much material has been collected during the past year for a
bulletin on "Noxious Weeds;" the work of examining and classify-
ing these plants has been undertaken.

V.-Daily observations of meteorological instruments, and on the
changes of the atmosphere, have been carried on durin* the entire
year. The meteorological outfit consists of the following instruments •

1. Maximum thermometer.

2. Minimum thermometer.

3. Dry-bulb thermometer.

4. Wet-bulb thermometer.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

5. Barometer.

6. Anemoscope.

7. Rain Gauge-

8. Solar Radiator.

9. Terrestrial Radiator.

10. Thirty soil thermometers, ranging in depth from one to ninety-
six inches.

11. Anemometer, Robinson's make, with electric recording attach-
ment.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY.

GEORGE F. ATKINSON.

ORQANizATioN.-The Department of Biology was organized during
the latter part of the year. Owing to the necessity for the careful
selection and importation of special apparatus and books, together
with the fact that the suite of rooms for the biologist has but recently
been in a condition for occupation, few investigations could be at
tempted. There are four rooms in- the new building devoted to
this department ; a suite of three rooms on the third floor, as follows :
an office, laboratory room and lecture room, where subjects of practical
interest are presented to the classes, and a room in the basement de-
voted to the manipulation of coarser material from collections in pre-
paring it for the laboratory and cabinet, and for special cultures. The
work of furnishing these rooms. and mounting the special apparatus

is in progress. , , ,

The office, besides the ordinary furniture, contains cases for an her-
barium, where will be preserved specimens illustrating the fungi inju-
rious to plants, and a cabinet illustrating the insects collected; also a
well selected small library of special literature on these practical sub-

J6C The more prominent pieces of apparatus in the laboratory are as

follows:
One Rohrbeck's No. 10 Vegetative apparatus.
One Rohrbeck's Steam Sterilizing apparatus, No. 1, D.

One dry oven.

One Pasteur water filter.

One balance.
Micrometer.
Four Leitz microscopes, No. 6.

-xo^cmb

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

One Zeiss microscope, No. 2a stand, with the 2 m m a apochromatic
objective, a series of compensation oculors and objectives, triple nose
piece, Abbe Condenser, long arm camera, etc.

Besides there is a large list of vessels and smaller pieces of appa-
ratus, reagents, etc., essential in such a laboratory.

On one side of the laboratory is partitioned off a culture room oc-
cupied by the apparatus for use in growing certain fungi in connec-
tion with the investigations.

There has been made quite an extended original preliminary study
of a root-gall nematode, Hetei*odera radicicola, which is doing serious
damage to some crops in various parts of the South. The results of
this study were published in a bulletin, as a preliminary report on
Nematode Root-Galls, including the life history and metamorphosis
of the worm which is the cause of the disease.

OBJECT OF THE COLLEGE.

The leading object of the College, in conformity with the
act of Congress and the acts of the State Legislature, is to
teach the principles and the applications of science.

In its course of instruction it gives prominence to the
sciences and their applications, especially to those that relate
to agriculture and the mechanic arts, so far as the facilities at
its disposal will permit ; and at the same time the discipline
obtained by the study of languages and other sciences is not
neglected.

All students are required to study the English language.
The Latin, French and German languages are also taught, and
opportunity for their study is offered to students in any course.

The special or technical instruction given is thus based on
a sound, general education.

The College, in fact, has become a distinctive school of in-
dustrial science — or Polytechnic Institute — a title which by
resolution of the trustees is permitted to be inscribed on the
catalogue— and work of great value to the youth of the State
is now being accomplished by fitting them, by a thorough
science-discipline, in which handicraft in the lower classes is
made a prominent feature, for the successful and honorable
performance of the responsible duties of life.

While every attention is given to the mental discipline of the
students in endeavoring to train them to habits of accurate
scientific thought, and thus to qualify them for the duties of
life, their moral and Christion training will always constitute
the prominent care and thought of the Faculty.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

LABORATORIES AND FACILITIES FOR INSTRUC-
TION.

The College now possesses facilities for giving laboratory
instruction in applied science in the following departments :

I. — IN AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE.

The farm contains 226 acres and is supplied with illustrated
specimens of stock of select varieties.

The agricultural experiment station, established in connec-
tion with the College, where experiments and scientific inves-
tigations relating to agriculture are daily made, affords unusual
opportunities to students to become familiar with agriculture,
its defects and remedies.

The students of agriculture accompany the professor in the
field, garden, conservatory, stock-yard, etc., where lectures are
delivered in presence of the objects discussed, and during the
year exercises in practical agriculture are given the students
who enter upon this course of study.

II. — IN MECHANIC ARTS.

The laboratory of Mechanic Arts is used as an auxiliary in
industrial education, as a school of manual training in the arts
that constitute the foundation of various industrial pursuits.
The work performed by the students is instructive in charac-
ter, as in any other laboratory, and the classes are taught in
sections by a series of graded lessons under the supervision of
the professor. In the lower classes of the College each stu-
dent enters this school, and is assigned three exercises a week,
each exercise being two hours long.

The object of this laboratory is not to teach a trade,.but to
educate, to discipline and train the eye and the hand, as well
as the mind, and thus by associating manual and mental train-
ing, to thoroughly educate the student for the duties of life
whatever his vocation may be. There is no attempt to teach

Agricultural and Mechanical College. 7

students special skill in constructing articles of commercial
value, but all the exercises are systematically arranged and .
designed for purposes of education.

The wood department is located in a commodious hall 90 x
50 feet, and is provided with a twenty -five horse power Corliss
engine, with indicator, a planer, circular saw, band saw, two
scroll saws, a buzz planer, twenty stands with lathes, with full
sets of lathe and carpentry tools required for instruction.

A brick building with two rooms, each 30x35 feet has been
constructed especially for instruction in working iron.

One room is equipped with sixteen forges and tools required
for a forge department, the other with a cupola furnace, hav-
ing a capacity of 1,000 pounds, a core oven, moulding benches
and special tools for use in a foundry.

The forge and foundry rooms are furnished with a Sturte-
vant fan and exhauster, supplied with power from the engine.

The machine department is equipped with eight engine
lathes, one speed lathe, one 20-inch drill press, one post drill,
one shaper, one five- foot planer, one universal milling machine,
a corundum tool-grinder and small emery grinder.

The chipping and filing department is arranged with benches
and vices for twelve students.

The Weston dynamo, used at present for lighting the halls,
is located in a room adjoining the Mechanic Art laboratory,
and is run by a ten-horse power engine, constructed by the
students in the Mechanic Arts.

It is designed to supply the different laboratories with elec-
tricity by this dynamo.

HI. — IN PEAOTIOAL OHBMISTBY.'

• *

The new chemical laboratory is supplied with new and
modern apparatus, and in its entire equipment affords excellent
facilities for instruction in practical chemistry.

The investigations that are undertaken in this laboratory by
scientific experts, in connection with the work of the agricul-
tural experiment station, are of especial value to advanced
students, and afford them unusual opportunities to learn the

methods of scientific research. The building contains a large
general laboratory that will accommodate sixty students, and
lecture room with capacity for one hundred seats, and nine
other rooms, all appropriated to instruction and research in
chemistry.

It is equipped with the improved modern appliances neces-
sary for instruction and investigation.

iv. — in physics.

In the new College building provision will be made for labor-
atory work in the department of physics. Special rooms in the
basement are appropriated for this purpose, and it is designed
to equip them with all necessary appliances. An improved
testing machine, of 35,000 pounds capacity, has recently been
purchased of Itiehle Bros, for this laboratory.

V. — IN MINERALOGY.

This laboratory occupies a convenient room in the basement,
and is provided with tables and appliances to accommodate
thirty students, with an excellent collection of minerals.

VI. — IN BOTANY.

In the work of the agricultural experiment station, investi-
gations in botany are given special attention, and opportunities
are offered advanced students for practical work in a labora-
tory especially fitted with microscopes, tables, a dark room for
photographic work, and appliances needed for instrrction and
research. This department is provided with Auzoux's clastic
models of seeds and flowers for teaching botany.

vn. — in BIOLOGY.

The laboratory in this department adjoins the lecture room
of the professor, and is furnished with tables, microscopes and
appliances for investigation. Each student of the class works
under the supervision of the professor.

Vin.— IN ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING.

The necessary apparatus for field work, including transits,
levels plane table, etc., is provided for the use of the students,
and the customary exercises in the field are »iven

■m

Agricultural and Mechanical College. 9

IX. — IN DRAWING.

All the students in the lower classes are required to take
drawing, a study which tends to discipline the mind, as well as
to train the eye and hand to accuracy of observation and exe-
cution. A large, well-lighted drawing room, that will accom-
modate fifty students, is provided with tables, lock boxes, etc.

MILITARY TACTIC8.

Instruction in this department is given in conformity with
the act of Congress. Students receive the benefit of regular
military drill, and in addition the military system is used as
a means of enforcing discipline and securing good order,
promptness and regularity in the performance of academic
duties.

This department is under the charge of Lieut. J. B. Mc
Donald, 10th Cavalry, U. S. A.

It has recently been supplied with new cadet muskets and
accoutrements for the corps, and, for artillery practice, with
two three-inch rifle guns, carriages and limbers.

For admission to the higher classes, students should be pre-
pared to stand a satisfactory examination on all the studies of
the lower classes, as shown in the courses of study. Where
opportunity has not been offered to pursue special studies re-
quired at this College, the system of equivalents will be
adopted, and studies which denote an equivalent amount of
discipline and training will be accepted as satisfactory.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS.

Entrance examinations will be held on Wednesday, the 16th
of September, the day on which the session opens. Candi-
dates will also be examined during the session, when applica-
tion is made for admission.

Applicants who are not prepared to stand the entrance ex-
aminations for full admission to the Freshman class are admit-
ted to the sub-college department.

They will be advanced to full admission to the Freshman

class when they are qualified to pass satisfactorily the required
examinations.

Students upon their arrival at Auburn will report immediately to the
President. No sludent will be admited to a recitation in any class pre-
vious to matriculation.

NUMBER OF EXERCISES REQUIRED.

All students are required to have not less than fifteen reci-
tations per week, or their equivalent, in addition to the exer-
cises in laboratory work, drawing and military drill. These
additional exercises occupy not less than twelve hours per week
and in all give twenty-seven exercises per week required.

SPECIAL STUDENTS.

Students who are qualified to prosecute the studies of the
iunior class, and those over twenty-one years of age who are
not candidates for a degree, are permitted to take, with the
advice of the Faculty, the subjects of study they may prefer
and for which they may be qualified ; all other students will
be assigned to one of the regular prescribed courses of study,
unless otherwise ordered by the Faculty.

Regular students who fail to pass satisfactory final exaniina-
tions in any one study become special students. They will be
classed as regular students pursuing a course for a degree
whenever they (ftn pass the examinations in those subjects in
which they were found deficient.

Students candidates for a degree, who are not in full stand-
ing in all the prescribed studies of a class, rank in the military
department with that class in which they have the greater
number of studies, and their names are so placed m the

Catalogue.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

The courses of study inclpde the Physical, Chemical and
Natural Sciences, with their applications ; Agriculture, Biology,
Mechanics, Astronomy, Mathematics, Engineering, Drawing,

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

English, French, German and Latin Languages, History,
Political Economy, Mental and Moral Sciences.

These studies are arranged in regular courses so as to offer a
liberal and practical education as a preparation for the active

pursuits of life.

There are three degree courses for undergraduates, each
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) and re-
quiring four years for its completion :

I. C0UR8E IN CHEMI8TRY AND AGRICULTURE.

II. Course in Mechanics and Engineering.

III. General Course.

There are also two partial courses, each requiring two years
for its completion :

IV. Two Years' Course in Agriculture.
V. Two Years' Course in Mechanic Arts.

Course I includes theoretical and practical instruction in
those branches that relate to chemistry and agriculture, and is
especially adapted to those who propose to devote themselves
to agriculture or chemical pursuits.

Course II includes the principles and applications of the
sciences that directly relate to civil and mechanical engineer-
ing, and is adapted to those who expect to enter the profession
of engineering.

Courses III has been arranged to give a general and less
technical education in subjects of science and language to meet
the wants of those students who have selected no definite voca-
tion in life, as well as of those who propose ultimately to
engage in teaching, or in some commercial or manufacturing
business.

Courses IV and V have been -arranged for. the benefit of
those students who, for reasons satisfactory to themselves, are
unable to continue at college four years and take one of the
regular degree courses.

Students who complete either of these two year courses
will, on passing a satisfactory examination, receive certificates
indicating their attainments,

Agricultural and Mechanical College. 35

Those who have completed the general course in each de-
partment of tjie school of Mechanic Arts, and are qualified,
can enter upon a more extended technical course in Mechani-
cal Engineering.

PEEPAKATOKY COURSE IN PHARMACY.

Students who expect to become practical pharmacists can
enter upon a special course of Chemistry and Natural History
and occupy all their time in the laboratories of these depart-
ments, under the immediate direction of the professors.
With the excellent facilities offered in the chemical and
botanical laboratories, scientific preparation of great value to
the practical pharmacist can be obtained.

COURSE IN MINING ENGINEERING. •

Students who have received the degree of B. Sc. in Engi-
neering, or who have prosecuted an equivalent course of study,
can enter upon a special course of Mining Engineering, which
includes the following subjects of study, and will require a
residence of one year :

Industrial Chemistry, Assaying, Reduction of Ores, Miner-
alogy, Economic Geology, Mining Machinery, Drifting, Tun-
nelling, Timbering, Ore Dressing, and the various operations
connected with the exploitation of mines.

This course of study will be under the charge of the Pro-
fessors of Chemistry, Engineering and Natural History.

SPECIAL ONE YEAR COURSE IN AGRICULTURE.

•

Young men over twenty-one years of age who desire to study Agri-
culture will be permitted, without examination, to enter any class un-
der the Professor of Agriculture, and will be excused from reciting in
any other class, from military duty, and from all other college duties ;
but will be under the general college regulations, and will be required
to have their time fully occupied.

They can attend the lectures in Agriculture in all the classes, and
engage in the practical work at the experimental station, in the field,
stock-yard, dairy, garden, orchard and vineyard, etc., and may thus,
in one year, acquire valuable practical knowledge of Scientific Agri-
culture,

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

The class, in sections of six or eight, devote three after-
noons a week during the second and third terms to field prac-
tice.

Mensuration includes an extended course in measurements
of heights and distances, plane, rectilinear and curvilinear
figures, surfaces and volumes.

The completion of this course, common to all students, lays
the foundation for the pure and applied Mathematics of the
Mechanical Engineering course. Analytical Geometry, De-
scriptive Geometry and Calculus are pursued in the Engineer-
ing course. Especial attention is given to their practical ap-
plications.

Text books.

Wentworth's Algebra, Wentworth's Geometry, Wentworth's Trigo-
nometry and Surveying, Wentworth's Analytical Geometry, Waldo's
Descriptive Geometry, Taylor's Calculus.

NATURAL HISTORY AND GEOLOGY.

PROF. MELL.

Geology.— This subject is studied in the senior class, and
extends through the entire session. Special attention is given
to the geology of Alabama, and many illustrations are drawn
from the coal and iron fields and other natural deposits of
minerals in the State. The origin of ore deposits, mineral
springs and geological relations of soils are carefully studied.

There is also a course of advanced work in practical Geol-
ogy for the post-graduate students. This subject is pursued
by applicants for degrees of Master of Science and Mining

Engineering.
The junior class in Engineering spends two terms in Mifl*

eralogy smd blow-pipe work.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Botany.— The students of the Sophomore class begin the
study of Botany the first of March and continue it through the
session. Analytical work is made an important feature. This
class is provided with plants from the fields, and taught how
to determine their specific names. The work is sufficiently
exhaustive to enable the student, after completing the course,
to name any of the ordinary weeds and grasses that he will
encounter in this section.

In the Junior class, in the course of Chemistry and Agri-
culture, an amount of time is devoted to systematic and struc-
tural Botany, and to advanced laboratory work with the micro-
scope in the preparation of specimens showing plant structure ;
this work is sufficient to familiarize the students with the
methods of plant building and cellular organization. Excellent
microscopes of the most improved patterns, and all the neces-
sary chemicals and apparatus for preparing and mounting veg-
etable tissues, are used by the students. A dark room is
attached to this laboratory for photo-micrography.

ALABAMA WEATHER SERVICE.

The United States Signal Service has established in Ala-
bama a State system for collecting meteorological data relating
to climatic changes. The service is now in successful operation
with the central office located at this Institute. Bulletins are

PROF, NEWMAN.

The course of instruction in this department embraces:
I., soils; II., plants; III., domestic animals. In the Freshman
class twenty lectures, covering the third term of the session,
treat of soils, their classification, physical defects and reme-
dies, causes of diminished fertility, and the means used to prd-
tect them from waste and restore fertility, the theory and prac-
tice of surface and sub-drainage, etc. The subject is treated
with special reference to the different classes of soil in Ala*
bama, omitting as far as possible questions involving a knowl.
edge of Chemistry and Botany.

In the Sophomore class, in addition to the discussion of the
physical properties and mechanical treatment of soils, the
methods of studying their chemical defects and their remedies
are dUeussed. The sources of the important element? gf plant

development— the relations of plant growth to soil and atmos-
phere, the theory and practice of restoration of crops, ter-
racing and. grading to prevent washing, plows and plowing—
indeed everything connected with tilling the soil passes under
review as foundation work.

Southern agriculture is then treated in the concrete— the
history, nature and cultivation of each of our field crops dis-
cussed as regards their adaptation to and treatment upon the
soils of Alabama. This occupies the first and second terms.
The third term is devoted to domestic and commercial horti-
culture, poultry, sheep, cattle-breeding and management of the
dairy, etc. In the junior class stock- breeding and management
is completed in the first term, and a thorough course in
pomology, including the propagation of nursery stock, plant,
ing, manuring, pruning, cultivating, harvesting and marketing
every species of fruit, treated theoretically and practically,
occupies the second term. Barry's Fruit Garden, corrected
for our latitude, is used in this class. In the third term lec-
tures are delivered upon political economy in its special rela-
tions to the pursuit of agriculture ; the selection, purchase,
equipment and management of a farm, the ratio between fixed
and' working capital, the employment and management of
labor etc. Landscape gardening, treated with special refer-
' ence to the improvement of country homes, occupies the re-
mainder of the session.

ENGLISH AND LATIN.

PROF. THACH.

ENGLISH.

In this department the students are carried through a sys-
tematic course of study in the English Language and litera-
ture. In the courses of study which do not include the ancient
classics a full course in English is especially important. It
is therefore designed, as much as the time allotted permits,
to famihanze the students by frequent exercises with the
standard authors of the language.

The course of study is as follows •

Freslnnan Class-Five hours a week; study of grammar,

tnTbZ T 81 ^^ g6neral c ™P^°n, with fre-

ence of Wealth, Hickok's Mental Science, Gregory's Christian Ethics.

Three original orations are required during the year of each student
of the first and second classes.

LATIN.

The subjects taught in this department are the Latin Lan-
guage and Literature.

The modes of instruction are by translation from the Latin
texts into English and from English into Latin. The constant
use of blackboards adds much to the progress and accuracy of

the student.

A systematic course of exercises, illustrative of the princi-
ples of Latin etymology and syntax, is carried on in connection
with the reading of the authors prescribed. Special attention
is given to English derivatives from the Latin, and to the cor-
responding idioms of the two languages.

The progress of the student is valued not so much by the
number of books read, as by his ability to read Latin and ex-
plain the principles of interpretation and construction.

Latin authors read :

Freshman Class.-Virgil, Cicero's Orations, Grammar and Composi-

tion.
Sophomore Class.-Cicero's Composition.

Junior Class.-Tacitus, Horace, Selections from Latin poets and

Prose writers, Classical Literature.
Senior Class.-Cicero's Tusculan Disputations, Terrence, History of

Latin Literature.

This course is obligatory upon the students of the three
lower classes. For satisfactory reasons a student may be ex-
cused from this laboratory work by the Faculty.

The full work of each class is 8ix hours per week, in three
exercises of two hours each.

The power for running the apparatus in this department is derived
from a twenty-five horse power Harris-Corliss automatic engine, which
is supplied with steam by a thirty horse-power steel horizontal tubular
boiler. A steam pump and a heater for the feed water form a part of
the steam apparatus. For the steam plant a substantial brick boiler-
house and chimney have been erected.

students, each supplied with a complete set of moulder's tools ; a 14-
inch cupola, with all modern improvements, capable of melting 1,000
pounds of iron per hour; a brass furnace in which can be melted 100
pounds of brass at a heat, with a set of crucible tongs, etc. Also a
full supply of ladles, large and small moulding flasks, special tools, etc.
The forge shop equipment consists of 16 hand forges of new pattern,
each with a set of smith's tools, anvil, etc. The blast for all the forges
is supplied by a No. 3 Sturtevant steel pressure blower (which also
furnishes blast for the foundry cupola), and a No. 15 Sturtevant ex-
haust blower draws the smoke from the fires into the smoke-flues and
forces it out through the chimney.

The machine tools in the machine department are as follows : 6 en-
gine-lathes (screw-cutting), 14-inch swing, 6-foot bed; 2 engine-lathes,
16-ineh swing (one with taper attachment) ; 1 speed lathe, 10-inch
swing; 120-inch drill-press (power-feed); I 15-inch shaper; 1 22-inch

MODERN LANGUAGES AND HISTORY.

C. H. BAKNWELL, JR., ADJUNCT PROFESSOR.

MODERN LANGUAGES.

The following regular courses are given in French and
German :

French. — First Year : Three recitations a week. During
this year the principal object is to acquire a thorough knowl-
edge of the elements of grammar, and a correct pronunciation,
together with facility in translating ordinary French. Read-
ing is begun at an early stage, and the principles of grammar
are illustrated and impressed by frequent exercises in render-
ing English into French.

Second Year : Three recitations a week. During this year,
the same line of work is pursued as that begun in the previous
year. More difficult and varied French is read, and careful
instruction is given upon the laws of grammar and the con-
struction of the language.

German.— Two Years: Three recitations a week the first
year, three a week the second year. In this course the aim
and the methods are similar to those in French.

Special Courses.— In addition to these regular courses, addi-
tional classes are formed for special study in the literature, or
for special study in any particular direction desired, when the
number of students desiring it is sufficient.

TEXT-BOOKS.

French-First Year : Joynes-Otto's French Grammar and Intro-
ductory Reader.

Second Year : Super's French Reader; Jeanne d'Arc, and d'Avare
Heath's French Dictionary recommended.

HS n a d p Year: n aU 5 8 Karavane > Peter Scblemihl, Die Journalisten,
Heath s derman Dictionary recommended.

HISTORY.
In this department the aim is not so much to memorize
facts as to understand them. Strong emphasis is laid on the

Agricultural and Mechanical College. 59

fact that History is not a succession of isolated facts, but a
progressive whole, each event being at once the cause and the
effect of other events. This causal relation of events is closely
studied and the students are taught to investigate for them-
selves the growth of ideas, and to trace particularly their de-
velopment in the United States, so as to acquire a practical
knowledge of the history and present workings of our govern-
ment and institutions. The knowledge acquired is rendered
clear and permanent by frequent comparison of customs and
Tws, and also by diagrams, charts and maps. Instruction is
ffiven by lectures and text-books.

g The course covers two years, and embraces the History of
the United States, studies on our government and its institu-
tions, and on general history.

to give all requisite medical attention without other charge
than the regular Surgeon's fee, paid on entering College.

FUNDS OF STUDENTS.

Parents and guardians are advised to deposit with the Treasurer of
the College a 1! funds desired for sons or wards, whether for regular
charges of College fees or board, or for any other purpose. It is the
duty of this officer to keep safely all funds placed in his hands, and to
pay all expenses incurred by the students, including board, uniform,
books, etc., when approved.

When funds are deposited, checks are drawn on the Treasurer of the
College by the cadet to pay his necessary expenses. These checks
are paid only when approved by the President. This approval is given
only for necessary expenses, as stated in the Catalogue, unless specially
requested in writing by the parent.

The College cannot be held responsible for the expenses of a student,
unless the funds are deposited with the Treasurer. No student should
be permitted to have a large amount of pocket money, as it only brings
trouble and encourages idleness.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

In this department every variety of experiment with field crops,
grasses, vegetables and fruits calculated to benefit the farmers of the
State have been conducted, or are in progress. Worn and gullied
lands have been brought into profitable cultivation, and swamps
drained.

For the purpose of learning the chemical needs of the various typical
soils of the State, chemicals, for experiment, have been furnished forty-
three experimenters cultivating the different typical soils in every part
of the State. These are furnished by the Station ready for application
to the experiment plots, free of charge to the experimenters who vol-
unteer to do the work according to printed instructions furnished by
the Station. In addition to these an alumnus of the College is con-
ducting upon his own lands an elaborate set of special nitrogen, potash
and intercultural experiments with chemicals furnished by the Station.
Varieties of seed have also been furnished a number for experimental
comparison upon different soils. Varieties of grapes, Strawberries and
raspberries have also been gratuitously distributee! to the experi-
menters for the purpose of learning what varieties may be profitably
grown under the great variety of conditions of soil, climate and eleva-
tion presented in Alabama. Crops have been planted with special
reference to facilitating research by the Chemist, Botanist and Biologist.
The Station has a large house for milch cows, a model dairy with
modern appliances, a gin-house with milling room, barn and stable,
two silos, with 15-horse power engine. It also has the residence of the
professor and general office, with storage rooms, etc.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY.

The Chemical Department of the Agricultural Experiment Station,
in connection with the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Ala-
bama, includes in its present organization, the Chemist in charge and

four assistants.

In addition to the work directly connected with the Station, the
Chemist is Professor of general and Agricultural Chemistry in the Ag-

ti Agricultural and Mechanical College.

ricultural and Mechanical College, and official Chemist of the State
Department of Agriculture. On the application of the Commissioner
of Agriculture, he is required to "analyze and certify the analysis of
all fertilizers, samples of which are furnished him." The variety and
extent of this work, which has greatly increased during the past year,
can be seen from the following tabular statement of the number and
character of quantitative analyses made during the year ending April
1st, 1891. In the analyses of commercial fertilizers, only those constitu-
ents are determined which the State law requires, viz : Water soluble,
citrate soluble and acid soluble phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash.

In addition to the quantitative work, a large number of mineralogi-
cal specimens, the character of which could be ascertained by mere in-
spection or by simple qualitative tests, have been examined and their
value determined.

Two bulletins have been prepared and issued during the year, em-
bracing in detail the results of analyses of commercial fertilizers and
other substances, in addition to discussions of subjects of interest to
the farmers of the State. The first of these bulletins on "nitrogen as a

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

fertilizer," embraces a discussion of nitrogen as plant food, its sources
in vegetation and its accumulation by plants, especially by pea vines,
the value of which as a fertilizer is discussed in connection with
original determinations of the amount of phosphoric acid, nitrogen and
potash contained in the vines and roots. The results show the great
value of this important natural fertilizer in restoring fertility to worn
and exhausted soils.

The second bulletin contains a discussion of the composition of milk
and butter ^with special reference to the effects of feeding on cotton
seed and cotton seed meal. Twenty-seven analyses of these dairy fc pro-
ducts, derived from different feed stuffs, show an increase in the melt-
ing point and a corresponding diminution in the volatile acids of the
butter produced by feeding on the substances mentioned.

FACILITIES FOR WORK.

The new building for the Department of Chemistry is complete in its
arrangements, and admirably adapted to meet the growing demands of
modern progress in this department of science. In this building, a
description of which is given in this Catalogue, is located the State
Chemical Laboratory, where all the chemical work of the Experiment
Station is carried on. Care has been taken to secure the best form of
work tables, niches, hoods, etc. Gas, water and other conveniences
and necessaries for effective work are abundantly supplied.

The equipment is the best that can be secured from manufacturers in
this country and in Europe. In addition to the apparatus usually
found in chemical laboratories, and especially where soils, feed stuffs,
and dairy products are analyzed and their properties investigated, may
be mentioned —

Schmidt and Hansen's Polariscope.
Zeiss' Microscope.
Zeiss' Refractometer. '
Spectroscope.
Becker's Balances.

Also, a new and special arrangement for carrying on, at the same
time, a number of nitrogen determinations by the Kjeldahl method.

The Library of the Experiment Station contains a large number of
standard works of reference, and is supplied with the principal Ameri-
can, English, French, and German chemical journals.

_—

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

The United State Signal Service has detailed an observer (Mr. J. M.
Quarles) to act as assistant in Meteorological work at this station, and
through the aid of the National Service about thirty sets of instruments
have been secured for as many different sub-stations throughout Ala-
bama. The observers in charge of these stations report to the College
at regular intervals throughout the year, and during the crop seasons
special crop bulletins, indicating the effects of the weather on the grow-
ing crops, are issued each week, prepared from the data sent in by
these observers.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY.

During the year three bulletins and two circular letters have been
prepared from this department as follows :

Circular Letter No. 1, May 14, 1890, sent to one hundred farmers of
the State requesting their experience in the application of the dry pois-
ons (Paris green and London purple), by dusting it through osnaburg
bags suspended from a pole.

Circular Letter No. 2, August, 1890, sent to one hundred farmers in
the State requesting specimens and notes on the diseases of cotton,
variously termed "rust," "red rust," ''black rust," "Frenching," etc.

Bulletin No. 15, April, 1890.— Insecticides ; kerosene emulsion; how

to make and apply it.

Bulletin No. 17, July, 1890.— Dry application of Paris green and Lon-
don purple for the cotton worm. The replies to circular letter No. 1
were made the basis of this bulletin.

Bulletin No. 21, December, 1890.— A new root rot disease of cotton.
A description of root rot of cotton caused by the root-gall nemotode,
ffetrodera radioicola, with photograph illustrating the disease. Atten-
tion is directed to the danger of the present reckless distribution of this
nematode in the roots and tubers of various plants.

There is also a popular description of the worm and its habits.

The special work of the Biologist is phytopathology, or the study of
the diseases of plants.

The department is now engaged especially in studying the diseases
of the cotton plant. From personal inspection and careful observation
in the field and study in the laboratory, including also material sent in
from a number of farmers in the State in answer to circular letter No. 2
a bulletin is now ready to be issued upon the diseases popularly called
"black rust." In it are considered the external characters of the dis-
ease, the fungi causing it, the progress of the disease, and various cur-

rent theories regarding the cause. It is illustrated with photographs
of the diseased leaves and pen sketches of the most injurious fungi
concerned.

A new fungous disease of cotton termed "Authracnose of cotton" has
also been carefully studied and a bulletin will soon be issued upon the
subject.

During the spring experiments were made to test the efficacy of cer-
tain fungicides for black rot of grapes. The Bordeaux Mixture and the
Ammoniacal carbonate of copper were the principal ones experimented
with.

The Bordeaux Mixture was successful to a very satisfactory degree,
but the Ammoniacal carbonate of copper did not present any beneficial
results.

A large number of fungi on grasses, fruit trees, forest trees, etc.,
have been collected and placed in the cabinet of the department for use.
in offering instruction and as the basis for other bulletins of economic
interest.

In the laboratory the gelatine and agar agar method of Studying mi-
cro-organisms is being made a special feature of the work, applying the
methods to the handling and culture of fungi, and already promises
important results in determining the economic importance of certain
fungi as well as giving us a clearer insight into their habits and poly-
morphism.

Facilities for Work.

At present three rooms are occupied by the department — an office,
lecture room and laboratory. The office contains the cabinent of fungi,
the technical library for the department, slate table with a Zeiss micro-
scope, reagents, gas and water fittings. The work in the office consists
of the examination, indentification and cataloguing of the specimens
of fungi, beside the special work peculiar to such an office. The cabi^
net is provided with tight drawers, for receiving the mounted speci-
mens of fungi.

The technical portion of the Experiment Station library in the office
of the Biologist contains a number of valuable works of reference
special reports, &e.

Laboratory.— Five slate top tables are devoted to the use of stu-
dents, there being 10 Leitz microscopes set apart for them.

A small culture room contains the pjate and teche cultures of fungi
and bacteria which are being studied in relation to the plant diseases
they cause. Here they can be handled and studied with little danger
of contamination from the dust of the laboratory. In this room is
kept a Rohrbeck Thermostat fitted with automatic cut off burner and
Lautenseblager's mo3t recent electric thermoregulator for maintaining
constant temperatures,

OBJECT OF THE COLLEGE.

-♦-♦-

The leading object of the College, in conformity with the
act of Congress and the acts of the State Legislature, is to
teach the principles and the applications of science.

In its course of instruction it gives prominence to the
sciences and their applications, especially to those that re-
late to agriculture and the mechanic arts ; and at the same
time the discipline obtained by the study of languages and
other sciences is not neglected.

All students are required to stu/iy the English language.
The Latin, French and German languages are also taught,
and opportunity for their study is offered to students in any
course.

The special or technical instruction given is thus based
on a sound, general education.

The College, in fact, is a distinctive school of industrial
science — or Polytechnic Institute — a title which by reso-
lution of the trustees is permitted to be inscribed otf the
catalogue — and work of great value to the youth of the State
is now being accomplished by fitting them, by a thorough
science- discipline, in which manual training in the lower
classes is made a prominent feature, for the successful and
honorable performance of the responsible duties of life.

While every attention is given to the mental discipline of
the students in endeavoring to train them to habits of accu-
rate scientific thought, and thus to qualify them for the

LABOBATORIES AND FACULTIES FOE INSTRUC-
TION.

-♦•♦-■

The College now possesses facilities for giving laboratory
instruction in applied science in the following departments :

I. — IN AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE.

The farm contains 226 acres %nd is supplied with illustra-
ted specimens of stock of select varieties.

The students of agriculture accompany the professor in
the field, garden, conservatory, stock-yard, etc., where lec-
tures are delivered in presence of the objects discussed, and
during the year exercises in practical agriculture of an edu-
cational character are given the students who enter upon
this course of study.

II. — IN MECHANIC ARTS.

The laboratory of Mechanic Arts is used ap an auxiliary
in industrial education, as a school of manual training in the
arts- that constitute the foundation of various industrial pur-
suits. The work performed by the students is instructive
in character, as in any other laboratory, and the classes are
taught in sections by a series of graded lessons under the
supervision of the professor. In the lower classes of the
College each student enters this school, and is assigned
three exercises a week, each exercise being two hours long.

The object of this laboratory is not to teach a trade, but
to educate, to discipline and train the eye and the hand, as
well as the mind, and thus by associating manual and mental

training, to thoroughly educate the student for the duties of
life, whatever his vocation may be. There is no attempt to
teach students special skill in constructing articles of com-
mercial value, but all the exercises are systematically ar-
ranged and designed for purposes of education.

The wood department is located in a commodious hall
90 x 50 feet, and is provided with a twenty-five horse power
Corliss engine, with indicator, a planer, circular saw, hand-
saw, two scroll saws, a buzz planer, twenty-four stands with
lathe and full set of lathe tools for each, and thirty benches
for carpenter work with the tools requisite for construction.

A brick building, 30 x 87 feet with two rooms, has been
constructed especially for instruction in working iron.

One room is equipped with sixteen forges and tools re-
quired for a forge department, and the other with a cupola
furnace, having a capacity of 1000 pounds per hour, a core
oven, a brass furnace, moulding benches and special tools

for use in a foundry. . • ' - ■

The forge and foundry rooms are furnished with a
Sturtevant fan and exhauster, supplied with power from a
ten horse power engine, constructed by the students in the

Mechanic Arts.

The machine department occupies a brick building 30 x 50
feet, and is equipped with nine engine lathes, one speed
lathe, one 20-inch drill press, one post drill, one 16-inch
shaper, one 5lfoot planer, one universal milling machine, a
corundum tool grinder and a small emery grinder.

The chipping and filing department is arranged with
benches, vises and tools for twelve students.

The tool room is well supplied with special tools for use
in instruction, including a machine for grinding twist drills.

A Weston dynamo is used at present for lighting the
rooms when necessary.

BACTICAL CHEMISTRY.

The chemical laboratory is supplied with new and modern
apparatus, and in its entire equipment affords excellent
facilities for instruction in practical chemistry.

The investigations that are undertaken in this laboratory
by scientific experts, in connection with the work of the ag-
ricultural experiment station, are of especial value to ad-
vanced students, and afford them unusual opportunities to
learn the methods of scientific research. The building con-
tains a large general laboratory that will accommodate sixty
students, and lecture room with capacity for one hundred
seats, and nine other rooms, all appropriated to instruction
and research in chemistry.

It is equipped with the improved modern appliances nec-
essary for instruction and investigation.

IV. — IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.

The Electrical Labo^tory is well supplied with modern
appliances for instruction in electrical engineering. It occu-
pies two large rooms in the basement, and is equipped with
a Weston 150 volt, 20 ampere dynamo ; one Brush 6 arc-
light dynamo, with regulator ; one Edison compound wound
12 kilo-watt generator ; a Crocker- Wheeler one-horse power
motor and rheostat, and one alternator, made by special
students. *

The dynamos occupy a separate room from th* Labora-
tory, and are operated by a 35-horse power Westinghouse
vertical engine.

The equipment comprises many fine instruments of pre-
cision, Sir Wm. Thomson's standard 100 ampere balance,
his graded current galvanometer, reading to 600 amperes ;
also, his graded potential galvanometer, reading to 600
volts, Cardew voltmeter, reading to 150 volts ; Weston's
standard ammeter and voltmeter ; ballistic reflecting gal-
vanometer, mirror galvanometer, Thomson Watt-meter, &c.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

A battery of fifty-five Julien accumulators has also been in-
stalled in the Laboratory. Ihere is also in connection with
this department a 10-horse power motor at the experiment
station farm a thousand yards from the College, which is
run by the Edison generator at the Electrical Laboratory.

y, — IN physics.

In the College building provision is made for laboratory
work in the department of physics. ► Hpecial rooms in the
basement are appropriated for this purpose, and it is de-
signed to equip this laboratory with the necessary appli-
ances for instruction in practical physics. An improved
testing machine, of 35,000 pounds capacity, has been pur-
chased of Riehle Bros, for this laboratory.

VI. — IN MINERALOGY.

This laboratory occupies a convenient room in the base-
ment, and is provided with tables and appliances to accom-
modate thirty students, with an excellent collection of
minerals.

VII. — IN BOTANY.

In the work of the agricultural experiment station, inves-
tigations in botany are given special attention, and opportu-
nities are offered advanced students for practical work in a
laboratoryNespecially fitted with microscopes, tables, a dark
room for photographic work, and appliances needed for in-
struction and research. This department is provided with
Auzoux's ciasti3 models of seeds and flowers for teaching

botany.

IX. — IN ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING.

The necessary apparatus for field work, including transits,
levels, plane table, models of bridges, etc., is provided for
the use of the students, and the customary exercises in the
field are given.

X. — IN DRAWING.

All the students in the lower classes are required to take
drawing, a study which tends to discipline the mind, as well
as to train the eye and han$ to accuracy of observation and
execution. A large, well-lighted drawing room, that will
accommodate fifty students, is provided with tables, lock
boxes, etc.

MILITARY TACTICS.

Instruction in this department is given in conformity with
the act of Congress. Students receive the benefit of regular
military drill, and in addition the military system is used as
a means of enforcing discipline and securing good order,
promptness and regularity in the performance of academic
duties.

This department is under the charge of Lieut. J H
Wills, 22d Infantry, U. S. A.

It has recently been supplied with new cadet muskets and
accoutrements for the corps, and for artillery practice, with

prepared to stand a satisfactory examination on all the
studies of the lower classes, as shown in the courses of
study. Where opportunity has not been offered to pursue
special studies required at this College, the system of
equivalents will be adopted, and studies which denote an
equivalent amount of discipline and training will be ac-
cepted as satisfactory.

ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS.

Entrance examinations will be held on Wednesday the
14th of September, the day on which the sessions opens.
Candidates will also be examined during the session, when
application is made for admission.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Applicants who are not prepared to stand the entrance
examinations for full admission to the Freshman class are
admitted to the sub-college department.

They will be advanced to full admission to the Freshman
class when they are qualified to pass satisfactorily the re-
quired examinations.

Students upon their arrival at Auburn will report immediately to the
President. No student will be admitted to a recitation in any class
previous to matriculation.

NUMBEE OF EXEEOISES EEQDIEED.

All students are required to have not less than fifteen
recitations per week, or their equivalent, in addition to the
exercises in laboratory work, drawing and military drill.
These additional exercises occupy not less than twelve hours
per week and in all give twenty-seven exercises per week
required.

SPECIAL STUDENTS.

Students who are qualified to prosecute the studies of the
junior class, and those over twenty-one years of age who are
not candidates for a degree, are permitted to take, with the
advice of the Faculty, the subjects of study they may prefer
and for which they may be qualified , all other studente
will be assigned to one of the regular prescribed courses of
study, unless otherwise ordered by the Faculty

Eegular students who fail to pass satisfa ct oryfi nal ex
amotions in any one study become special stude^s. They
will be classed as regular students V°^*™T%£
degree, whenever they can pass the examinations m those
subjects in which they were found deficient.

COUESES OF INSTRUCTION.

•**

The courses of study include the Physical, Chemical and
Natural Sciences, with their applications ; Agriculture,
Biology, Mechanics, Astronomy, Mathematics, Engineering,
Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Drawing, English, French,
German and Latin Languages, History, Political Economy,
Mental and Moral Sciences.

These studies are arranged in regular courses so as to
offer a liberal and practical education as a preparation for
the active pursuits of life.

There are three degree courses for undergraduates, each
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) and
requiring four years for its completion :

I, Course in Chemistry and Agriculture.
II. Course in Mechanics and Engineering.
III. General Course.

There are also two partial courses, each requiring two
years for its completion :

IV. Two Years' Course in Agriculture.
V. Two Years' Course in Mechanic Arts.

Course I includes theoretical and practical instruction uj
those branches that relate to chemistry and agriculture, and
is especially adapted to those who propose to devote them-
selves to agriculture or chemical pursuits.

Course II includes the principles and applications of the
sciences that directly relate to civil, electrical and mechani-
cal engineering, and is adapted to those who expect to 6nter
the profession of engineering.

Courses III has been arranged to give a general and less
technical education in subjects of science and language to
meet the wants of those students who have selected no
definite vocation in life, as well as of those who propose
ultimately to engage in teaching, or in some commercial or
manufacturing business,

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Courses IV and V have been arranged for the benefit of
those students who, for reasons satisfactory to themselves,
are unable to continue at college four years and take one of
the regular degree courses.

Students who complete either of these two year courses
will, on passing a satisfactory examination, receive certifi-
cates indicating their attainments.

Those who have completed the general course in each
department of the school of Mechanic Arts, and are quali-
fied, can enter upon a more extended technical course in
Mechanical Engineering.

PREPARATORY COURSE IN PHARMACY.

Students who expect to become practical pharmacists can
enter upon a special course of Chemistry and Natural His-
tory and occupy all their time in the laboratories of these
departments, under the immediate direction of the pro-
fessors. With the excellent facilities offered in the chemical
and botanical laboratories, scientific preparation of great
value to the practical pharmacist can be obtained.

COURSE IN MINING ENGINEERING.

Students who ha& received the degree of B. So. in Engi-
neering, or who have prosecuted an equivalent course of
study, can enter upon a special course of Mining Engineer-
ing, which includes the following subjects of study, and will
require a residence of one year :

Industrial Chemistry, Assaying, Reduction of Ores,
Mineralogy, Economic Geology, Mining Machinery, Drift-
ing, Tunnelling, Timbering, Ore Dressing, and the various
operations connected with the exploitation of mines

This course of study will be under the charge of the Pro-
fessors of Chemistry, Engineering and Natural History.

42 Agricultural and Mechanical College.

SPECIAL ONE 'YEAR COURSE IN AGRICULTURE.

Young men over twenty-one years of age who desire to study Agri-
culture will be permitted, without examination, to enter any class un-
der the Professor of Agriculture, and will be excused from reciting in
any other class, from military duty, and from all other college duties;
but will be under the general college regulations, and will be required
to have their time fully occupied.

They can attend the lectures in Agriculture in all the classes and
engage in the practical work at the experimental station, in the field
stock-yard, dairy, garden, orchard and vineyard, etc., and may thus,
in one year, acquire valuable practical knowledge of Scientific Agri-
culture.

DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION.

PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY.

PRESIDENT BROUN.

The instruction is given by recitations from text-books
and lectures, illustrated by experiments. The first part of
the course is occupied with Elementary Rational Mechanics,
treated graphically.

This is followed by a full discussion of Molecular Me-
chanics ; while due prominence is given to principles, fre-
quent reference is made to the applications of science.

The studies of the junior class include the properties of
matter, units of measure, force, work, energy, kinematics,
kinetics, mechanic powers, friction, pendulum, molecular
forces of solids, liquids and gases, theory of undulations,
heat, electricity, magnetism, etc.

The studies of the senior class include Optics, Astronomy
and Meteorology.

Text-Books. —In Physics, Atkinson's Ganot. In Astronomy, Young.

MATHEMATICS.

PROF. SMITH. " f.y

The general course for the first two years embraces the
first year, Algebra and Geometry, six books ; second year,
Solid Geometry, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, Survey-
ing, Mensuration.

Two objects are sought to be attained : First mental dis-
cipline ; second, a thorough knowledge of the principles of
pure mathematics and their practical applications.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Theoretical and practical instruction is given to the
sophomore class in farm, town, and government land survey-
ing, dividing land, mapping, plotting, and computing of
areas etc. ; also in the theory, adjustment and use of instru-
ments.

The class, in sections of six or eight, devote three after-
noons a week during the second and third terms to field

practice.

Mensuration includes an extended course iu measurements
of heights and distances, plane, rectilinear and curvilinear
figures, surfaces and volumes.

The completion of this course, common to all students,
lays the foundation for the pure and applied Mathematics of
the Mechanical and Engineering courses. Analytical Geome-
try, Descriptive Geometry, and Calculus are pursued in
the Mechanical and Engineering courses. Especial atten-
tion is given to their practical applications.

Text-Books.

Wentworth's Algebra, Wentworth's Geometry Wentworfh'. . Trigo,
nometry and Surveying, Wentworth's Analytical Geometry, Waldo a
Descriptive Geometry, Taylor ' s Calculus.

NATURAL HISTOEY AND GEOLOGY.

PEOF. MELL.

Geology.-This subject is studied in the senior class, and
extends through the entire session. Specia attention is
given to the geology of Alabama, and many illustrations are
drawn from the coal and iron fields and other natural de-
posits of minerals in the State. The origin of ore deposits,
mineral springs and geological relations of soils are care-
fully studied.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

There is also a course of advanced work in practical
Geology for the post-graduate students. This subject is
pursued by applicants for degrees of Master of Science and
Mining Engineering.

The junior class in Engineering spends two terms in
Mineralogy and blow-pipe work.

Botany. — The students of the Sophomore class begin the
study of Botany the first of March and continue it through
the session. Analytical work is made an important feature.
This class is provided with plants from the fields, and
taught how to determine their specific names. The work is
sufficiently exhaustive to enable the student, after comple-
ting the course, to name any of the ordinary weeds and
grasses that he will encounter in this section.

In the junior class, in the course of Chemistry and Agri-
culture, an 'amount of time is devoted to systematic and
structural Botany, and to advanced laboratory work with the
microscope in the preparation of specimens showing plant
structure ; this work is sufficient to familiarize the students
with the methods of plant building and cellular organiza-
tion. Excellent microscopes of the most improved patterns,
and all the necessary chemicals and apparatus for preparing
and mounting vegetable tissues, are used by the students.
A dark room is attached to this laboratory for photo-
micrography.

Text-Books.

LeOonte's Geology, Gray's Botany, Dana's Mineralogy, Goodale's
Physiological Botany, Nelson's Herbarium and Plant Descriptions.

ALABAMA WEATHER SERVICE.

The United States Signal Service has established in Ala-
bama a State system for collecting meteorological data rela-
ting to climatic changes. The service is now in successful
operation with the central office located at this Institute.
Bulletins are issued at the close of each month, compiled

ENGLISH AND POLITICAL ECONOMY.

PROF. THACH.
OBJECTS AND METHODS.

In this department the students pursue a systematic course
in the English Language and Literature.

Language is the avenue of approach to all knowledge ;
the interpretation of words is the fundamental process in

Agricultural and Mechanical College,

education of whatsoever kind. A full course of English is,
therefore, considered especially important in the technical
courses of study that do not include the ancient classics.
Accordingly, the course of English is continued throughout
the four years of the College curriculum, three hours a
week, and is made obligatory upon all students, with the ex-
ception of those pursuing the two first years of the course in
Latin. In this extended drill in the grammar and literature
of the English language, the endeavor is made to afford a
training somewhat equivalent to the ordinary course in the
classical languages.

In view of the ill preparation in languages, especially in
their mother tongue, exhibited by many of the candidates
for admission to the Freshman Class, it is deemed advisable,
for the sake of Honest work, to devote a portion of the first
year to grounding such students in the principles of gram-
mar. Further, with the idea that an ability to speak and
write correctly English of the present, and to appreciate the
literary excellencies of standard authors, is more desirable
than training in the philological curiosities, and literary
crudities of Anglo-Saxon literature, the course of study in
this institution is confined exclusively to the literature of
Modern English.

Especial attention is given to the study of the writings,
themselves, of leading English authors, since direct contact
with literature is considered more profitable than informa-
tion merely about literature.

COURSE OF STUDY.

Freshman Class.— Five hours a week; study of grammar, the prin-
ciples of special and general composition, with frequent brief papers
illustrating the laws studied ; study of American authors, Irving, Haw-
thorne, Holmes.

Whitney's Essentials, Lockwood's Rhetoric, Scudder s American

Prose. a i • /

Sophomore Class.— Three hours a week; study of style, analysis of

selections of prose and poetry, frequent essays on historic and literary
themes.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Abbott's How to Write Clearly, Genung's Rhetoric, Seudder's Selec-
tion from Longfellow, Lowell, Emerson.

Junior Class. — Three hours a week; Lectures on the History of
English Literature, Logic, Critical Study of English Classics— Milton,
Gray, Goldsmith, etc., Essays.

Shaw's History of English Literature, Hale's Longer English Poems.

Senior Class.— Two hours a week, first term. Principles of Criti-
cism, Shakespeare's Julius Csesar, Hamlet, etc.

ESSAYS AND ORATIONS.

Theory without practice is as fruitless in the study of
English as in any other department of study. Practical
work is indispensable to the successful teaching of English.

Besides numerous brief papers, illustrative of the subject
matter of the text- books, set essays or orations are required
of all these students; for the fourth class, six essays a year;
six for the third; for the first and second classes, three
orations each.

DECLAMATION.

The old practice of committing pieces to memory for
" speaking " is cultivated as a means, both of training in the
art of thinking on the feet, and of storing the mind with the
diction of finished specimens of English style.

The Sophomore class is heard weekly throughout the year
in seotions of ten, once for an hour and a half in rehearsal,
afterwards in the study hall before the body of students.

The Senior and Junior classes also deliver their orations
in public.

PHILOSOPHY AND POLITICAL ECONOMY.

The entire Senior class pursues the study of Intellectual
Science, twice a week, through the year; and Political
Economy twice a week during the two last terms. The in-
struction in this department is by lectures in combination
with text-books.

Intellectual Science. —Psychology defined. Value in re-
lation to moral culture, education, and Natural Sciences.

BIOLOGY.

PROFESSOR ATKINSON.

Practical Biology. — This subject is presented by lectures
twice a week to the senior students in Agriculture and
Chemistry. Ihe first part of the year will be devoted to
the study of fungi, giving prominence to those which cause
diseases of cultivated plants. This will be followed with
the study of insects, including those injurious and beneficial
to Agriculture. Special attention will be given to methods
employed in combating the attacks of fungi and insects
upon plants.

The reference books will be announced to the classes. The
department contains a carefully selected library of the
standard works on mycology and many rare and valuable
works, besides current periodicals adapted to aid in the
special investigations carried on in the laboratory.

Especial opportunities are offered to graduate students
who desire to pursue advanced work and engage in original
investigations.

Facilities for Work.

At present three rooms are occupied by the department— an office,
lecture room and laboratory. The office contains the cabinet of fungi,
the technical library for the department, slate table with a Zeiss
microscope, re-agents, gas and water fittings. The work in the office

consists of the examination, indentification and cataloguing of the
specimens of fungi, beside the special work peculiar to such an office.
The cabinet is provided with tight drawers, for receiving the mounted
specimens of fungi.

Laboratory. —Five slate top tables are devoted to the uee of stu-
dents, there being 10 Leitz microscopes set apart for them.

Two small culture rooms contain the plate and test tube cultures of
fungi and bacteria which are being studied in relation to the plant dis-
eases they cause. Here they can be handled and studied with little
danger of contamination from the dust 6t the laboratory. In these
rooms are kept Rohrbeck Thermostats fitted with automatic cut off
burners and Lautenschlager's most recent thermoregulator for main-
taining constant temperatures.

A Winkel microscope is kept here for the examination of cultures.
It consists of stand No. 2, with condenser, triple revolver, homogene-
ous immersion lens 1-24 and 1-14, dry objectives No. 3 and No. 7 f
oculars 1, 3 and 5, and micrometer ocular.

A Winkel microscope is also kept for the use of the students, exactly
like the former, except the 1-24 homogeneous immersion lens.

The other pieces of apparatus are as follows:

Steam sterilizer, dry sterilizer, domestic still, instantaneous water
heater, Pastenr filter, fine and common balances, apparatus for demon-
strating intramolecular breathing of yeast, the Brendel models of para-
sitic and sapro-phytic fungi, bacteria and yeast plants, and automatic
device for rolling culture tubes of nutrient agar agar.

There are also cases containing a large quantity of the various glass
vessels, paper, dry and liquid dyes and re-agents, culture media, etc.,
required in modern investigation.

The laboratory is well lighted from southern and western exposure.
All the rooms are well fitted with gas and water supply.

A phytopathological laboratory has recently been fitted up for con-
ducting investigations on the diseases of plants. While this constitutes
part of the equipment for the Biologist in Experiment Station work, it
will be at the disposal of the department for instruction.

and the effect of other events. This casual relation of
events is closely studied and the students are taught to in-
vestigate for themselves the growth of ideas, and to trace
particularly their development in the United States, so as to
acquire a practical knowledge of the history and present
workings of our government and institutions. The knowl-
edge acquired is rendered clear and permanent by frequent
comparison of customs and laws, and also by diagrams,
charts and maps. Instruction is given by lectures and text-
books.

The course covers two years, and embraces the History of
the United States, studies on our government and its insti-
tutions, and on general history.

TEXT-BOOKS.

First Year: Johnston's U. S. History, Macy's Our Government.
Second Year: Myer's Mediaeval and Modern History.

LATIN.

In this department two objects are kept in view: a knowl-
edge of the language, and an appreciation of the literature.

In teaching the Language the following methods are
used: A systematic course is given in Etymology and
Syntax. These are taught both deductively from a text-
book on Grammar and inductively from the Latin text read.
Latin texts are translated, sometimes at sight, sometimes
after being assigned for preparation. English passages
based on a familiar author or illustrative of special construc-
tions are translated into Latin on the blackboard. Simple
conversation is carried on in Latin.

Special emphasis is laid upon the study of Latin Litera-
ture. In connection with each author studied in class there
is prescribed a course of reading in English descriptive of
his life, writings and times. The artistic value of his
writings is carefully studied and discussed, and frequent

comparisons are made with modern writers.

AGBICULTUEE.

PROF. BONDURANT.

The course of instruction in this department embraces :
I, Soils ; II, Plants ; III, Domestic Animals.

In the Freshman class, lectures, extending through the
third term of the session, treat of soils, their classification,
physical defects and remedies, causes of diminished fertility,
and the means used to protect them from waste and to re-
store fertility, and the theory and practice of surface and
sub-drainage, &c. These subjects are treated with special
reference to the different classes of soil in Alabama, omit-
ting as far as possible, questions involving a knowledge of

Chemistry and Botany.

In the Sophomore class, in addition to the discussion of
the physical properties and treatment of soils, the methods
of studying their defects and their remedies are also con-

sidered

The sources of the important elements of plant food and
their use upon different soils and plants, saving farm
manures, making composts, proportioning and applying com-
mercial fertilizers, the relation of plant growth- to soil and
atmosphere, terracing and grading land to prevent washing
plows and plowing, and indeed everything connected with
tilling the soil, passes under review as foundation work.

Southern agriculture is then treated-the history natu e
and cultivation of field crops discussed as regards _ their
adaptation to, and treatment upon, the soils of Alabama.

This occupies the first and second terms.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

The third term is devoted to domestic and commercial
horticulture, poultry, sheep, cattle-breeding and manage-
ment of dairy, &c.

In the Junior class, stock breeding and management are
completed, and a course in Pomology, including the propa-
gation of nursery stock, planting, manuring, pruning, culti-
vating, harvesting and marketing every species of fruit, is
treated, which occupies the second term.

In the third term, lectures are delivered upon subjects
relating to agriculture, the selection, purchase, equipment
and management of a farm, employment and management
of labor, Ac.

Landscape gardening also is taught with special reference
to the improvement of country homes.

Drawings and models of agricultural implements and farm
products will be used to illustrate the lectures. Reference
will be made to suitable agricultural books, and especial
reference to the experiments contained in bulletins of other
agricultural, stations, whenever applicable to the subject un-
der discussion.

In this department, practical agriculture is combined with
class instruction. Opportunities are given, and students are
required in the second and third classes, to do practical
field work of an educational character, under the instruction
and direction of the professor, and they are graded accord-
ing to their skill.

The farm instruction will embrace details of farm work,
assisting in field and feeding experiments, dairy work, care
and management of farm stock, machinery, propagating
fruits, grafting and budding, and pfuning vines and fruit
trees

of small articles, such as light machine parts, but a suffi-
cient variety of forms are introduced for the student to ac-
quire a good general and practical knowledge of the usual
methods and appliances used in light foundry work Most
of the work is in green sand in two part flasks; core work is
also given, and some three part flask and some dry sand
work is introduced.

The same patterns which have been previously made by
students are used, besides special patterns for occasional
larger or more complicated work. Instruction and practice
is given in working the cupola, each student in turn taking
charge of a melting.

III. A course in forge work in iron and steel, occupying
the remainder of the year. The lessons are arranged so
that the students, in making the series of objects, become
familiar with the nature of the metals and the successive
steps in working them by hand into simple and complex
forms, as drawing, upsetting, bending, cutting, punching,
welding by various methods, tool-forging, tempering, hard-
ening, etc.

jects connected with machine work in metals: Such as
forms, construction arid use of the various machines, cutting
tools, gearing, gauges, screw threads, etc. During the last
term some piece of construction work is given the classes.

Instruction is generally given, first, by black-board draw-
ings or sketches which the student copies, with dimensions
in note-book, with which each one provides himself ; thus
each one works from his own notes. This is supplemented,
whenever necessary, by the actual construction of the lesson
by the instructor before the class, second by inspection and
direction at the bench by the instructor. The construction
work is made from blue prints made by the class in draw-
ing.

JUNIOR YEAR.

' To receive the Degree of B. Sc. in the Electrical and
Mechanical Engineering the student must complete the
course of Mechanical Engineering as here described.

Principles of Mechanism,— Two terms are devoted to this
subject. Under this head machines are analyized and their
elementary combinations of mechanism studied. The com-
munication of motion by gear wheels, belts, cams, screws
and link-work, 4he different ways of obtaining definite

velocity ratios and definite changes of velocity, parallel
notions and quick return motions as well as the designing of
trains of mechanism for various purposes, together with the
theoretical forms of teeth for gear wheels to transmit the
motion through these trains, are investigated under this
subject. The text book work is illustrated by the study and
examination of the machines in the laboratory.

The last term will be devoted to the study of the proper-
ties of steam, preparatory to the study of the Steam Engine
in the Senior year. The subject of steam boilers will re-
ceive special attention, and tests will be made to determine
the evaporative efficiency of the boiler, furnishing power.

Mechanical Drawing.- During the first term the students
make drawings to exact scale, of some of the simpler ma-
chines. The student takes his own measurements and makes
his own sketches from which to make the finished drawing.

This is followed by work intended to be supplemental to
the work in Mechanism. Involute and epicycloidal gear
wheels, bevel wheels and endless screws are designed and
drawn to scale from data given by the instructor. During
the last term each student will make working drawings of
some machine in the laboratory with instruction in the
making of tracings and the art of blue-printing.

Laboratory Work.-The laboratory work will consist of
hand work in iron and machine work in iron, as given in
the course in mechanic arts in the third year.

SENIOR YEAR.

Steam Engine-One half the year will be given to the
study of the theory and efficiency of the steam engine, with
discussions of the effects of condensation in cylinder, action
of fly-wheels, effect of jacketing, etc. Simple and com-
pound engines, various valves and cut-off motions, and the
pricipal types of modern engines are studied. Special at-
tention is given to the steam engine indicator, and the

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

student is expected to become familiar with its application
and uses.

Machine Design.— In the last half of the year the subject
of Machine Design will be taken up and carried on in con-
nection with the Strength of Materials, the latter being
studied mainly from actual experiments made on the testing
machine. In the former, simple machines are given to work
under specified conditions. The motions being laid out and
the proportion of parts found by calculation.

Mechanical Drawing.— The drawing for the first half year
will embrace Practical Perspective with exercises in tinting
and line-shading. In the last half year the drawing will be
in connection with the work in Machine Design, and ma-
chines and parts of machines will be designed and drawn
to scale, with full sets of working drawings.

Laboratory Work.-The laboratory work will consist of
making tests of engines under varying conditions of load
and speed These results will be carefully recorded, tabu-
lated and filed away for future reference.

Also of making tests of the strength of the different ma-
terials of construction, stone, wood, cast and wrought iron,
steel, etc. These will be tested for transverse, tensioniai
^compressions! strains, and all results recorded and tabu-

OBJECT OF THE COLLEGE.

♦ ♦-

The leading object of the College, in conformity with the
act of Congress and the acts of the State Legislature, is to
teach the principles and the applications of science.

All students are required to study the English language.
The Latin, French and German languages are also taught,
and opportunity for their study is offered to students in any

course.
The special or technical instruction given is thus based

on a sound, general education.

The College, in fact, is a distinctive school of industrial
science— or Polytechnic Institute— a title which by reso-
lution of the trustees is permitted to be inscribed on the
catalogue, —and work of great value to the youth of the State
is now being accomplished by fitting them by a thorough
science-discipline, in which manual training in the lo wer
classes is made a prominent feature, for the successful and
honorable performance of the responsible duties of life.

While every attention is ghen to the mental discipline of
the students in endeavoring to train them to habits of accu-
rate scientific thought, and thus to qualify them for the
duties of life, their moral and Christian training will always
constitute the prominent care and thought of the Faculty.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

LABORATORIES AND FACILITIES FOE INSTRUC

TION.

The College now possesses facilities for giving laboratory
instruction in applied science in the following departments :

I. — IN AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE.

The farm contains 226 acres and is supplied with illustra-
tive specimens of stock of select varieties.

II.— IN MECHANIC ARTS.

The laboratory of mechanic arts is used as an auxiliary
in industrial education, as a school of manual training in the
arts that constitute the foundation of various industrial pur-
suits. The work performed by the students is instructive
in character, as in any other laboratory, and the classes are
taught in sections by a series of graded lessons under the
supervision of the professor. In the lower classes of the
College each student enters this school, and is assigned three
exercises a week, each exercise being tw hours long.

The object of this laboratory is not t teach a trade, but
to educate, to discipline and train the eye and the hand, as
well as the mind, and thus by associating manual and mental

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

training, to educate thoroughly the student for the duties of
life, whatever his vocation may be. There is no attempt to
teach students special skill in constructing articles of com-
mercial value, but all the exercises are systematically ar-
ranged and designed for purposes of education.

The wood department is located in a commodious hall
90 x 50 feet, and is provided with a twenty-five horse-power
Corliss engine, a planer, circular saw, hand-saw, two scroll
saws, a buzz planer, twenty-four stands with lathe and full
set of lathe tools for each, and thirty benches for carpenter
work with the tools requisite for construction.

A brick building, 30 x 87 feet with two rooms, has been
constructed especially for instruction in working iron.

for use in a foundry.

The forge and foundry rooms are furnished with a
Sturtevant fan and exhauster, supplied with power from a
ten horse-power engine, constructed by the students in

mechanic arts.

The machine department occupies a brick building, 30 x 50
feet, and is equipped with ten engine lathes, one speed lathe,
one20-inch drill press, one 10-inch sensitive drill, one post
drill one 16-inch shaper, one 5-foot planer, one universal
milling machine, a corundum tool grinder, a small emery
grinder, and a universal cutter and reamer grinder.

The chipping and filing department is arranged with
benches, vises and tools for twelve students.

The tool room is well supplied with special tools for use

instruction, including a machine for grinding twist drills.

A Weston dynamo is used at present for lighting the
rooms when necessary.

Agricultural and Meelianieal Colkge.

III.— IN PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY.

The chemical laboratory is supplied with new and modern
apparatus, and in its entire equipment affords excellent facil-
ities for instruction in practical chemistry.

The investigations that are undertaken in this laboratory
by scientific experts, in connection with the work of the ag-
ricultural experiment station, are of especial value to ad-
vanced students, and afford them unusual opportunities to
learn the methods of scientific research. The building con-
tains a large general laboratory that will accommodate sixty
students, a lecture room with capacity for one hundred
seats, and nine other rooms, all appropriated to instruction
and research in chemistry.

It is equipped with the improved modern appliances nec-
essary for instruction and investigation.

IV.— IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. '

The electrical laboratory is well supplied with modern
appliances for instruction in electrical engineering. It occu-
pies two large rooms in the basement, and is equipped with
a Weston 150 volt, 20 ampere dynamo ; one Brush 6 arc-
light dynamo, with regulator ; one Edison compound wound
12 kilo-watt generator ; a Crocker- Wheeler one horse-power
motor and rheostat, and one alternator, made by special
students.

The dynamos occupy a separate room from the labora-
tory, and are operated by a thirty-five horse-power Westing-
house vertical engine.

The equipment comprises many fine instruments of pre-
cision: Sir Wm. Thomson's standard 100 ampere balance, and
his graded current galvanometer, reading to 600 amperes •
also his graded potential galvanometer, reading to 600
volts; Cardew voltmeter, reading to 150 volts; Weston's
standard ammeter and voltmeter; ballistic reflecting gal-
vanometer, mirrow galvanometer, Thomson watt-meter, etc.

Agricultural and 3Iechanical Coltege.

A battery of fifty-five Julien accumulators has also been in-
stalled in the laboratory. There is also in connection with
this department a ten horse-power motor at the experiment
station farm (a thousand yards from the College,) which is
run by the Edison generator at the electrical laboratory.

V. — IN PHYSICS.

In the College building provision is made for laboratory
work in the department of physics. Special rooms in the
basement are appropriated for this purpose, and are equipped
with the necessary appliances for instruction in practical
physics.

Y! # — in MINERALOGY.

This laboratory occupies a convenient room in the base-
ment, and is provided with tables and appliances to accom-
modate thirty students, with an excellent collection of
minerals.

VII. — IN BOTANY.

In the work of the agricultural experiment station, inves-
tigations in botany are given special attention and opportu-
nities are offered advanced students for practical work m a
laboratory especially fitted with microscopes, tables a dark
room for photographic work, and appliances needed or in-
struction and research. This department is P^ lde ^l
Auzoux's clastic models of seeds and flowers for teaching

botany.

yni.__.iN biology.

X. — IN DRAWING.

All the students in the lower classes are required to take
drawing, a study which tends to discipline the mind, as well
as to train the eye and hand to accuracy of observation and
execution. A large, well-lighted drawing room, that will
accommodate fifty students, is provided with tables, lock
boxes, etc.

MILITARY TACTICS.

Instruction in this department is given in conformity with
the act of Congress. Students receive the benefit of regular
military drill, and in addition the military system is used as
a means of enforcing discipline and securing good order,
promptness and regularity in the performance of academic
duties.

lent amount of discipline and training will be accepted as
satisfactory.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.
ADMISSION OF YOUNG WOMEN.

The privilege of becoming students in this College is
granted by the Trustees to young women of mature mind
and character, on the following conditions:

The applicant must be eighteen years of age and be
able to pass a satisfactory examination in two of the follow-
ing subjects, one of which must be Mathematics:

The equivalents of these subjects, as in above text-books,
may be substituted.

If the applicant is a candidate for a degree, she will be
required to pass a satisfactory examination in each of the
four subjects named.

Certificates will be granted to those who are not candidates
for a degree upon the satisfactory completion of any subject
as pursued by the Senior class.

When admitted, upon complying with the conditions above
stated, they can enter upon the study of any subjects taught
in the College, join any class, and enter any laboratory, for
which, upon examination, they may be found qualified. The

/ Agricultural and Mechanical. College.

only condition imposed will be that they engage in earnest
study, and attend the exercises regularly. They will board
in the village with private families, and attend College only at
the hours of their exercises.

There will be no charge for tuition. The incidental fees,
amounting to $12.00 per year, will be paid, as stated else-
where in the Catalogue.

ENTEANCE EXAMINATIONS.

Entrance examinations will be held on Wednesday, the
13th of September, the day on which the session opens. Can-
didates will also be examined during the session, when appli-
cation is made for admission.

Applicants who are not prepared to stand the entrance
examinations for full admission to the Freshman class are
admitted to the sub-college department.

They will be advanced to full admission to the Freshman
class when they are qualified to pass satisfactorily the
required examinations.

Students upon their arrival at Auburn will report immediately to the
President. No student will be admitted to a recitation in any class
previous to matriculation.

NOMBER OF EXERCISES REQUIEED.

All students are required to have not less than fifteen
recitations per week, or their equivalent, in addition to the
exercises in laboratory work, drawing and military drill.
These additional exercises occupy not less than twelve hours
per week and in all give twenty-seven exercises per week
required.

SPECIAL STUDENTS.

Students who are qualified to prosecute the studies of the
Jnnior class, and those over twenty-one years of « ige who are
not candidates for a degree, are permitted to take, with the

Agricultural and Meelianical CoUegei

advice of the Faculty, the subjects of ^tudy they may prefer
and for which they may be qualified ; all other students will
be assigned to one of the regular prescribed courses of
study, unless for special reasons otherwise ordered by the
Faculty.

Regular students who fail to pass satisfactory final exam-
inations in any one study become special students. They
will be classed as regular students pursuing a course for a
degree, whenever they can pass the examinations in those
subjects in which they were found deficient.

Students, candidates for a degree, who are are not in full
standing in all the prescribed studies of a class, rank in the
military department with that class in which they have the
greater number of studies, and their names are so placed in
the Catalogue.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

The courses of study include the Physical, Chemical and
Natural Sciences, with their applications; Agriculture, Biol-
ogy, Mechanics, Astronomy, Mathematics, Drawing, Civil,
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, English, French,
German, and Latin Languages, History, Political Economy!
Mental and Moral Sciences.

These studies are arranged in regular courses so as to offer
a liberal and practical education as a preparation for the
active pursuits of life.

There are four degree courses for undergraduates, each
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) and
requiring four years for its completion:

I. Course in Chemistry and Agriculture.

Course in Mechanics and Civil Engineering.
Course in Electrical and Mechanical Engi-
neering.
IV. General Course,

II.

in.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

There are also two partial courses, each requiring two
years for its completion:

V. Two -Year Course in Agriculture.
VI. Two-Year Course in Mechanic Arts.

Course I includes theoretical and practical instruction in
those branches that relate to chemistry and agriculture, and
is especially adapted to those who propose to devote them-
selves to agriculture or chemical pursuits.

Course II includes the principles and applications of the
sciences thai directly relate to civil engineering, and is
adapted to those who expect to enter that profession.

Course III includes, besides the general principles and
applications of the sciences, a special course in the applica-
tions of electricity and mechanics, and is arranged for the
profession of electrical and mechanical engineering.

Course IV has been arranged to give a general and less
technical education in subjects of science and language to
meet the wants of those students who have selected no defi-
nite vocation in life, as well as of those who propose ulti-
mately to engage in teaching, or in some commercial or man-
ufacturing business.

Courses V and VI have been arranged for the benefit of
those students who, for reasons satisfactory to themselves,
are unable to continue at college four years and to take one of
the regular degree courses.

Students who complete either of these two-year courses
will, on passing a satisfactory examination, receive certifi-
cates indicating their attainments.

Those who have completed the general course in each de-
partment of the school of Mechanic Arts, and are qualified,
can enter upon a more extended technical course in mechan-
ical engineering.

culture will be permitted, without examination, to enter any class under
the Professor of Agriculture, and will be excused from reciting in any
other class, from military duty, and from all other college duties ; but
will be under the general college regulations, and will be required to
have their time fully occupied.

They can attend the lectures in Agriculture in all the classes and
engage in the practical work at the experiment station, in the field
stock-yard, dairy, garden, orchard, vineyard, etc., and may thus'
in one year, acquire valuable practical knowledge of Scientific A*ricull
ture. 6

The instruction is given by recitations from text-books and
lectures, illustrated by experiments. The first part of the
course is occupied with Elementary Rational Mechanics,
treated graphically.

This is followed by a full discussion of Molecular Me-
chanics ; while due prominence is given to principles, fre-
quent reference is made to the applications of science.

The studies of the senior class include Optics and As-
tronomy.

Posi-Oraduaie Course. This includes the study of Ana-
lytical Mechanics, and requires a knowledge of differential
and integral calculus.

cipline ; second, a thorough knowledge of the principles of
pure mathematics and their practical applications.

Theoretical and practical instruction is given to the
sophomore class in farm, town, and government land sur-
veying, dividing land, mapping, plotting, and computing of
areas, etc. ; also in the theory, adjustment and use of instru-
ments.

The class, in sections of six or eight, devote three after-
noons a week during the second and third terms to field
practice.

Mensuration includes an extended course in measurements
of heights and distances, plane, rectilinear and curvilinear
figures, surfaces and volumes.

The completion of this course, common to all students,
lays the foundation for the pure and applied Mathematics
of the Mechanical and Engineering courses. Analytical
Geometry, Descriptive Geometry, and Calculus are pursued
in the Mechanical and Engineering courses. Especial atten-
tion is given to their practical applications.

Text-Books.

Wentworth's Algebra, Wentworth's Geometry, Wentworth's Trigo-
nometry and Surveying, Wentworth's Analytical Geometry, Waldo's

of minerals in the State. The origin of ore deposits, min-
eral springs and geological relations of soils are carefully
studied.

There is also a course of advanced work in practical geol-
ogy for the post-graduate students. This subject is pursued
by applicants for degrees of Master of Science and Mining
Engineer.

The junior class in Engineering spends two terms in Min-
eralogy and blow-pipe work.

Botany. — The students of the sophomore class begin the
study of Botany the first of March and continue it through
the session. Analytical work is made an important feature.
This class is provided with plants from the fields, and taught
how to determine their specific names. The work is suffi-
ciently exhaustive to enable the student, after completing the
course, to name any of the ordinary weeds and grasses that
he will encounter in this section.

In the junior class, in the course of Chemistry and Agri-
culture, an amount of time i^ devoted to systematic and
structural Botany,, and to advanced laboratory work with the
microscope in the preparation of specimens showing plant
structure; this work is sufficient to familiarize the students
with the methods of plant building and cellular organiza-
tion. Excellent microscopes of the most improved patterns,
and all the necessary chemicals and apparatus for preparing
and mounting vegetable tissues, are used by the students.
A dark room is attached to this laboratory for photo-
micrography.

Text-Books.

LeConte's Geology, Gray's Botany, Dana's Mineralogy, Goodale's

relating to climatic changes. The service is now in success-
ful operation with the central office located at this College.
Bulletins are issued at the close of each month, compiled
from reports sent from numerous stations throughout the
State. During the crop season, from April 1st to November
1st of each year, there is also issued every week special bul-
letins indicating condition of weather and effects on the crops.
An opportunity is thus offered the students in Meteorology
of becoming familiar with the system operated by the Depart-
ment at Washington.

ENGLISH AND POLITICAL ECONOMY.

PROF. THACH.

OBJECTS AND METHOD*.

In this department the students pursue a systematic course
in the English Language and Literature.

Language is the avenue of approach to all knowledge; the
interpretation of words is the fundamental process in educa-
tion of whatsoever kind. A full course of English is, there-
fore, considered especially important in the technical courses
of study that do not include the ancient classics. Accord-
ingly? the course of English is contiuued throughout the
four years of the College curriculum, three hours a week,
and is made obligatory upon all students, with the exception
of those pursuing the two first years of the course in Latin.
In this extended drill in the grammar and literature of the
English language, the endeavor is made to afford a training
somewhat equivalent to the ordinary course in the classical

languages.

In view of the ill preparation in languages, especially in
their mother tongue, exhibited by many of the candidates
for admission to the Freshman Class, it is deemed advisible,
for the sake of honest work, to devote a portion of the first
year to grounding such students in the principles of gram-
mar. Further, with the idea that an ability to speak and
write correctly English of the present, and to appreciate the
literary excellencies of standard authors, is more desirable
than training in the philological curiosities and literary
crudities of Anglo-Saxon literature, the course of study in
this institution is confined exclusively to the literature of

Modern English.

Especial attention is given to the study of the writings
themselves, of leading English authors, since direct contact
with literature is considered more profitable than informa-
tion merely about literature.

Agricultural and Mechanical College.

COURSE OF STUDY.

Freshman Class.— Five hours a week; study of grammar, the prin-
ciples of special and general composition, with frequent brief papers
illustrating the laws studied; study of American authors: Irving,
Hawthorne, Holmes.

Whitney's Essentials, Lockwood's Rhetoric, Scudder's American
Prose.

Sophomore Class.— Three hours a week ; study of style, analysis of
selections of prose and poetry, frequent essays on historic and liter-
ary themes .

Abbott's How to Write Clearly, Genung's Rhetoric, Scudder's Se-
lections from Longfellow, Lowell, Emerson.

Junior Class.-Three hours a week; lectures on the history of
English Literature, Logic, critical study of English Classics-Milton
Gray, Goldsmith, etc., Essays.

Shaw's History of English Literature, Hale's Longer English Poems

Senior Class.-Two hours a week, first term. Principles of Criti-
cism, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Hamlet, etc.

ESSAYS AND ORATIONS.

Theory without practice is as fruitless in the study of En-
glish as in any other department of study. Practical work
is indispensable to the successful teaching of English.

Besides numerous brief papers, illustrative of the subject
matter of the text-books, set essays or orations are required
of all students: for the freshman class, six essays a year- six
for the sophomore; for the senior and junior classes, three
orations each.

DECLAMATION.

The old practice of committing pieces to memory for
"speaking" is cultivated as a means, both of training in the
art of thinking on the feet, and of storing the mind with the
diction of finished specimens of English style.

The sophomore class is heard weekly throughout the year
m sections of ten, once for an hour and a half in rehearsal
afterwards in the study hall before the body of students '

The senior and junior classes also deliver their orations
in public.

HISTOET AND LATIN.

PROF. PETRIE.

HISTORY.

In this department the aim is not so much to memorize
facts as to understand them. Strong emphasis is laid on
the fact that History is not a succession of isolated facts
but a progressive whole, each event being at once the cause
and the effect of other events. The students are taught to
investigate the growth of ideas and institutions, the rise and
progress of great historical movements and the reciprocal
influence of men and circumstances. Frequent use is made
of diagrams, photographs, charts and maps, with which the
department is well equipped. Instruction is given by text-
books, lectures and class discussion, but a constant effort is
made to stimulate to wider reading and research in the
library.

In the freshman class, the subjects studied are the United
States and England. The first term (two hours per week)
is devoted to the History of the United States, the second
term (two hours per week) to its government, and the third
term (three hours per week) to the history of England.

Text-Books.

Johnston's History of the United States, Macy's Our Government,
Montgomery's English History.

In the sophomore class, (three hours per week until
March) the subject studied is General History.
Text-Book: Myers's General History .

In the junior and senior classes (six hours each per
week) opportunity for special historical work is given to
those students in the general course who wish to elect it
instead of laboratory work. Each student investigates under
the direction of the professor selected topics, reports
the results of his research to the class, and a general discus-

sion follows. Thoroughness is insisted on. The trend of
the work is toward a comparative study of Government, but
wide liberty of choice is allowed. Some of the topics stud-
ied during the last year were:

In the History of Government: The Origins of Govern-
ment, the Growth and Influence of Roman Law, the Gov-
ernments of England and France, Methods of Electing
Presidents.

In Biography and Great Movements: Pericles, Charle-
magne, Cromwell, Bismarck, Fall of the Roman Empire,
Rise of Mohammedanism, Renaissance, Home Rule for

Ireland.

During the last term a course of lectures is given on the
governments of the leading nations of Europe.

A prominent feature of the work is frequent talks from
men who are experts in some field of present or past history,
on the institutions and customs of some country, or upon
some geographical topic. These talks are informal and are
followed by general discussion.

Text-book : Woodrow Wilson's State.

LATIN.

In this department two objects are kept in view: a knowl-
edge of the language, and an appreciation of the literature.

In teaching the language the following methods are used:
A systematic course is given in Etymology and Syntax.
These are taught both deductively from a text-book on
Grammar and inductively from the Latin text read. Latin
texts are translated, sometimes at sight, sometimes after
being assigned for preparation. English passages based on
a familiar author or illustrative of special constructions are
translated into Latin orally and on the blackboard. Simple
conversation is carried on in Latin.

Special emphasis is laid upon the subject of Latin litera-
ture. In connection with each author studied in class there

is prescribed a course of reading in English descriptive of
his life, writings and times. The artistic value of his wri
tings is carefully studied and discussed, and frequent com-
parisons are made with modern writers.

TEXT-BOOKS.

Freshman Class— Nepos, Virgil, Sallust, Grammar, Composition.

Sophomore Class— Cicero's Orations, Livy, Jones's Latin Prose Com-
position.

Junior Class— Ovid, Tacitus, Horace, Wilkins' Latin Literature,
Collar's Practical Latin Composition.

Senior Class— Cicero's De Natura Deorum, Plautus, Terence.

AGRICULTURE.

PROF. BONDURANT.

The course of instruction in this department embraces: I,
Soils; II, Plants; III, Domestic Animals.

The freshman class is taught by lectures and text-books,
during the third term of the session.

The subjects taught are the treatment of soils, their clas-
sification, defects and remedies, causes of diminished fertil-
ity, and the means used to protect them from waste and to
restore fertility, and the theory and practice of surface and
sub-drainage.

These subjects are treated with special reference to the
different classes of soil in Alabama and the Southern
States.

In the sophomore class, in addition to the discussion of
the physical properties and treatment of soils, the methods
of studying their defects and their remedies are also con-
sidered.

The sources of the important elements of plant food and
their use upon different soils and plants, method of saving
and applying farm manures, making composts, proportion-
ing and applying commercial fertilizers, the relation of plant
growth to soil and atmosphere, terracing and grading land

to prevent washing, plows and plowing, and in fact everything
connected with tilling the soil, pass under review as foun-
dation works.

Southern Agriculture is then treated ; the history, nature
and cultivation of field crops discussed as regards their
adaptation to and treatment upon the soils of the Southern

States.

Attention is also given the raising of stock, horses, sheep,

PROF. ROSS.

The following regular courses are given in French and
German:

French. — First Year: Three recitations a week. During
this year the principal object is to acquire a thorough knowl-
edge of the elements of grammar, and a correct pronuncia-
tion, together with facility in translating ordinary French.
Reading is begun at an early stage, and the principles of
grammar are illustrated and impressed by frequent exercises
in rendering English into French.

Second Year: Three recitations a week. During this
year, almost the same line of work is pursued as that begun
in the previous year. More difficult and varied French is
read, and careful instruction is given upon the laws of gram-
mar, the construction of the language, and the history of the
literature.

of small articles, such as light machine parts, but a suffi-
cient variety of forms are introduced for the student to ac-
quire a good general and practical knowledge of the usual
methods and appliances used in light foundry work. Most
of the work is in green sand in two part flasks; core work is
also given, and some three part flask and some dry sand
work is introduced.

The same patterns which have been previously made by
students are used, besides special patterns for occasional
larger or more complicated work. Instruction and practice
is given in working the cupola, each student in turn taking
charge of a melting.

III. A course in forge work in iron and steel, occupying
the remainder of the year. The lessons are arranged so
that the students, in making the series of objects, become
familiar with the nature of the metals and the successive
steps in working them by hand into simple and complex
forms, as drawing, upsetting, bending, cutting, punching,
welding by various methods, tool-forging, tempering, hard-
ening, etc.

In connection with this second year work, a series of lec-
tures is given on the metallurgy and working of the metals
used in the industrial arts, cast and wrought iron, steel,

tools, gearing, gauges, screw threads, etc. During the last
term some piece of construction work is given the classes.

Instruction i3 generally given, first, by black-board draw-
ings or sketches which the student copies, with dimensions
in note-book, with which each one provides himself; thus
each one works from his own notes. This is supplemented,
whenever necessary, by the actual construction of the lesson
by the instructor before the class, second by inspection and
direction at the bench by the instructor. The construction
work is made from blue prints, the work of the class in drawing.

notions and quick return motions as well as the designing of
trains of mechanism for various purposes, together with the
theoretical forms of teeth for gear wheels to transmit the
motion through these trains, are investigated under this
subject. The text-book work is illustrated by the study and
examination of the machines in the laboratory.

The last term will be> devoted to the study of the proper-
ties of steam, preparatory to the study of the Steam Engine
in the senior year. The subject of steam boilers will re-
ceive special attention, and tests will be made to determine
the evaporative efficiency of the boiler, furnishing power.

Mechanical Drawing.— During the first term the students
make drawings to exact scale, of some of the simpler ma-
chines. The student takes his own measurements and makes
his own sketches from which to produce the finished drawing
This is followed by work intended to be supplemental to
the work in Mechanism. Involute and epicycloidal gear
wheels, bevel wheels and endless screws are designed and
drawn to scale from data given by the instructor. During
the last term each student will make working drawings of
some machine In the laboratory with instruction in the
making of tracings and the art of blue-printing.

duty of this officer to keep safely all funds placed in his hands and
to pay all expenses incurred by the students, including board, uniform,

books, etc., when approved.

When funds are deposited, checks are drawn on the Treasurer of
the College by the cadet to pay his necessary expenses. These checks
are paid only when approved by the President. This approval is given
only for necessary expenses, as stated in the Catalogue, unless spe-
cially requested in writing by the parent.

The College cannot be held responsible for the expenses of a stu-

should be permitted to have a large amount of pocket money, as it
brings only trouble and encourages idleness.
