UNIVERSITY AT LARGE. The act of Congress upon which the University of Illinois was founded imposed upon it the duty to "pro- mote the liberal and practical education of the indus- trial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life" and at the same time expressly stipulated that the lines of study which until then had almost exclusively engaged the energies of college faculties were not to be neglected. That the University has tried to meet this double obligation is shown in the organization of its Colleges of Agriculture, Engineering, Literature and Arts, Science, Law, Medicine, and Dentistry; its Schools of Education, Library Science, Music, and Pharmacy; and its courses in Commerce and Household Science; as al- so in its Agricultural Experiment Station, Engineering Experiment Station, Water Survey, Geological Survey, Biological Survey, Laboratory of Natural History and Food Laboratory. To these are now added for the first time courses in Ceramics. The grouping of so wide a range of educational in- terests under a single management not only places each under the most favorable conditions for its rapid and complete development and for the economical manage- ment of its affairs, but the association of so large a number of investigators, each a specialist in his own line, under the inspiration of a common purpose, in- sures the employment of more effective methods of in- vestigation and the accomplishment of larger and more trustworthy results. OBJECTS AND AIMS OF THE COURSES IN CERAMICS. The study of Ceramics has to do with the applica- tions of physical science to the manufacture of wares made wholly or in part from clay. The conditions un- der which ceramic products may be successfully and profitably produced are so complex and exacting as to require special scientific training for the prospective ceramist. Low interest rates and cheap transportation have so broadened the field of competition that each manufacturer must look sharply to the quality of his wares and to the cost of production. He must not only know the qualities of the materials he is using and of all other deposits so situated that they may possibly be of commercial use, but he must know what changes he can produce in his wares by various admixtures in body or glaze or by changes in methods of treatment. He must know what machinery, what fuel, and what ways of handling are best suited to the materials he must use, what grades of ware he can produce and the cost of each. He must not only have this informa- tion in regard to the materials he can obtain on a com- mercial basis, but also like information concerning those within the reach of each of his competitors, if he would enter into successful competition with them. Reliable information and scientific training along the lines indicated above are not easily gained by a young man through apprenticeship, no matter how large the factory is in which he may be employed, nor even by expert service in some one department of the industry in several factories; but this training may be 8 acquired in a comparatively short time thru a well planned course of study properly supplemented by practical work. The best preparation for the manage- ment of large ceramic interests is not to be found in the factory or in the yards, but in a school with courses and equipment especially adapted to the purpose, and under instructors with broad training. This does not mean that ability to manage success- fully any large business enterprise can be acquired in school. There is a large element of practical experi- ence which can only be obtained by actual contact with the business world and with the details of the special line of business in which one embarks. The school ought to give the student mental strength, knowledge of principles and methods, skill in the manipulation of apparatus, train- ing in scientific methods of experimentation and in the inter- pretation of results, familiarity with fundamental processes covering the whole field of research ivith which it is engaged, and then " turn him into practical life while he still retains the plasticity of character necessary to enable him to adapt himself to the conditions," which he will meet in the particu- lar branch of industry to which he shall devote himself. It is not expected that the student upon graduation will be able to manage successfully a large manufactur- ing plant. It is expected, however, that he will be in a position to acquire this ability very rapidly when brought in practical contact with the problems of the factory, and that having reached this stage he will thereafter be stronger and in every way more capable than he would have been if he had not come under the influence of the school. It is believed the courses here offered will afford such training. SUBJECTS FOR STUDY. As all the changes which come to ceramic materials during the processses of manufacture are either chem- ical or physical, and as some of them are exceedingly complex in character, a course of study which shall car- ry out the purpose indicated above must furnish such training in chemistry and physics as will enable the stu- dent to understand these changes, and to modify and control them by varying his methods of manipulation. Many plants have been abandoned, entailing large loss on the owners, many others have been removed, and still others have discontinued the manufacture of profitable wares in consequence of difficulties which might easily have been overcome by one familiar with the chemistry and physics of clay manufacture. The materials with which the ceramist has to deal vary widely in composition and qualities. These differ- ences are largely due to to the peculiar conditions un- der which each deposit was formed. The recognition of these conditions and the changes they produce upon the minerals and rocks which make up the crust of the earth, transforming them into substances useful or other- wise to the ceramist, is the province of Mineralogy and Geology. The ceramist uses large quantities of heavy mate- rials, and in order to handle them economically he must employ heavy and often complex machinery in mining, transporting, preparing and shaping these materials, and in the transportation of his wares. He should then have such familiarity with machines and with the prin- ciples of engineering as will enable him to install and operate his apparatus and keep it in repair and also to manage his power effectively and economically. To do this efficiently he must have some knowledge of me- 10 chanical and electrical engineering, and these again re- quire familiarity with mathematics, mechanics, and re- sistance of materials. As the European peoples are particularly active and efficient in ceramics, and as the results of much of their best work are recorded only in their own lan- guages, the ceramist who would keep abreast of the world in his profession must have some acquaintance with foreign languages, and as society measures a man's worth largely by his ability to express his thot clearly and correctly, training in English is a] so essential. The young man who wishes to devote his life to the development of any branch of clay industry must, if he would do his work in the best manner, become familiar with the principles which underlie every branch of ce- ramics. The progressive brickmaker must know the hows and whys which control the potter in the manu- facture of his bodies, glazes, and glasses, or the maker of terra-cotta or art wares, as well as those which per- tain more directly to his line of brick making. In short he must be a broad-minded, liberally-trained ceramist in all matters covered by that word. Such a combination of subjects as is indicated above has been arranged in the following courses: The Course in Ceramics is arranged to meet the needs of the manufacturer, affording that scientific training which has a direct bearing upon his business and giv- ing such a knowledge of machinery as will enable him to operate his plant successfully. The Course in Ceramic Engineering is intended to meet the wants of the construction engineer who is in- terested primarily in the designing and the installation of ceramic plants. 11 REQUIREMENTS FOK ADMISSION. 42 credits" are required for admission. Of these 5 must be in Algebra, 3 in English Composition, 6 in English Literature, 4 in Geometry — including plane, solid, and spherical — and 6 in German. The remain- ing 18 may be made up by offerings from the following list, but 6 of them must be in Science. Electives: Astronomy, 1 to li credits; Botany, li to 3; Chemistry, li to 3; Civics, 1 to 3; Drawing, 1 to 3; French, 3 to 9; Geology, li to 3; German, 3 to 12; His- tory, 3 to 9; Physics, 3; Physical Geography, li to 3; Physiology, li to 3; Zoology, li to 3. These credits may be acquired either upon exam- ination at the University or upon presentation of di- ploma and certificate of standing from a school in which these subjects are accredited by the University. SCHOLARSHIPS. The University offers every year to each county in the State one scholarship which will be awarded by the Trustees of the University, upon the nomination of the Clay Workers' Association, to applicants who in- tend to pursue either of the regular courses offered in this circular. These scholarships are good for four years and relieve the student from payment of the ma- triculation and incidental fees. Their total value is $106 each. In case it is found at the opening of a year that no applicant has been nominated from any particular *The cerm "credit"' as used means the amount of work represented by the continuous pursuit of one subject, with daily recitations, thru one of the three terms of the high school year; or, in other words, the work of sixty recita- tion periods of forty minutes each, or the equivalent in laboratory or other practice. 12 county, the vacancy may be filled by assignment from such counties as have more than one applicant. The scholarships will not be granted to persons who have been students in the University, nor to per- sons under sixteen years of age. The candidate for a scholarship must, on or before the time of entering the University, satisfy in full the requirements for admission to the freshman class in the College of Science. ADMISSION AS SPECIAL STUDENTS. Persons over twenty-one years of age, not candi- dates for a degree, may be admitted to classes, after satisfying the Dean of the College concerned and the Professor in charge of the Department in which such classes are taught that they possess the requisite in- formation and ability to pursue profitably, as special students, the chosen subjects. Such students are not matriculated; they pay a tuition fee of seven dollars and a half a semester, in addition to the regular inci- dental fee of twelve dollars. After successfully completing thirty semester hours of university work, a special student may receive such credits toward matriculation on account of practical ex- perience in the line of his course as the head of the de- partment may recommend and the Dean of the College may approve. This plan affords the student with a limited amount of time all the advantages of a short course and at the same time secures a good grade of work in the subjects studied. 13 DEGREES. The Degree of Bachelor of Science in Ceramics will be conferred on those who complete either of the courses here described. RESEARCH. The objects of the courses of instruction in cera- mics cannot be properly met unless instruction and re- search go hand in hand. The student who sees that serious problems of his profession are actually being solved and difficulties cleared away, feels that he is in contact with the practical affairs for which he is mak- ing preparation and is led to take a nearby interest in the things with which he has to do. It is expected that all those connected with the work in ceramics will con- tinually be engaged upon problems whose solution will be found helpful to all who are interested in ceramic industries. EQUIPMENT. The laboratories connected with the departments of chemistry, physics, geology and engineering, are large, well-lighted, and thoroly equipped for practical work. Students in ceramics make use of this equip- ment when taking regular courses offered by those departments. Much of the equipment of the laboratory of eco- nomic geology will be especially useful in ceramic work and will be regularly used by students in these courses. It consists of testing scale, jaw crusher, pulverizer, centrifuge, gang-saw for preparing rock specimens for testing, gas-blast and electric furnaces and drying ovens, optical and electric pyrometers, microscopes, 14 goniometers, balances, picnometers, volumeters, rock sectioning machine, freezing apparatus, air pumps, etc. The special equipment in ceramics includes: (1) Chemical apparatus, consisting of complete out- fits for the use of instructors and students in the special chemistry of ceramics. (2) Apparatus for preparing material and manufac- turing wares, as follows: Ball mills, jiggers, filter press, small auger brick machine, tile press, jollies, turning wheels, whirlers, pails, pans, sieves, and such small apparatus as is necessary to supply the needs of each student. (3) Apparatus for burning, consisting of two large kilns, one a muffle up- draft and the other a larger down- draft, both fired with coal; fritt furnaces; gas- blast fuanaces and the pyrometers spoken of above; a supply of seger cones, and a draft gauge.

To this is added a brief course on the analyti- cal geometry of three dimentions, including co-ordinate systems in space, the relation of points, straight lines, and planes in space, as also the general properties of surfaces of second order. (5 hours.) 8 a. Differential and Integral Calculus. A general introduction to the principles of differential and integral calulus. (5 hours.) 7, 8. Analytical Mechanics. The mechanics of engineer- ing, rather than that of astronomy and physics, is here considered. Attention is given to fixing the fundamental concepts and demon- strating the general principles and methods of equilibrium and motion and also to the application of principles and methods to numerous and varied engineering problems. Training in the statement of conditions and in the use of data is given. This subject requires a thoro working knowledge of the mathe- matics preceding it in the course. The work begins in the second semester, and in the following semester it is given in connection with Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 9. (Maurer's Techni- cal Mechanics.) (5£ hours.) 9. Resistance of Materials. In the treatment of this subject it is the aim to give the student a thoro training in the elementary principles of the mechanics of materials, to follow with such experiments and investigations in the materials labora- 22 tory as tend to verify the experimental laws, and to add such pro- blems in ordinary engineering practice as will train the student in the use of his knowledge. Attention is also given to the qual- ity and requirements for structural materials. (Merrimans's Mechanics of Materials.) (3| hours.) MILITARY SCIENCE. 1.
