Thompson Hau The Four- Year Courses of Study Given by the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts -Durham Circular 15 May, 1898 I. Course in Agriculture. STUDIES. Agriculture Algebra Bacteria Birds Botany Butter-making Chemistry Constitutional Law Dairying Domestic Animals Drawing Diseases of Crops English Language English Literature Ethics Fertilizers Floriculture Forage Crops Forestry French Fruits Geology German Insects Laws of Business Logic Meteorology Minerals Military Tactics Physics,. Political Economy Roads Soils Stock-feeding Surveying Wood Working Vegetables Zoology This course is designed to give a training in agriculture that is thorough- ly practical as well as scientific, with as much general educational study as is possible. During the last few years the course has been strengthened by the addition of new studies, by great improvement in facilities for practical instruction, and by increasing the number of instructors. Students in this course study with six- teen members of the faculty or other instructors. Graduates from this course have be- come successful farmers, managers of farms and of creameries, and experiment station investigators.

The subjects studied may be broadly divided into (i) the mathematical, form- ing the foundation of the course ; (2) the technical, pertaining directly to the pro- fessional work of the engineer ; and (3) the general, having less direct bearing upon the professional work, but afford- ing the student greater breadth of edu- cation, and fitting him for the larger duties of citizenship. The study of the scientific principles underlying the work of the engineer is accompanied throughout the course by actual practice in mechanical operations and in scientific research. In the work- shops the student learns the use of tools for working in wood and in metals. In the mechanical laboratory he makes tests of the properties of materials, of the power of steam engines, pumps, dy- namos, and other machines. In the chemical and the physical laboratories he learns by experiment the effects of the operation of the forces of nature. Recent graduates of the course are occupied as civil, mechanical, and elec- trical engineers, draftsmen, and ma- chine-shop foremen. III. Course in Electrical Engineering STUDIES. Algebra Analytic Geometry Applications of Electricity Chemistry Descriptive Geometry Dynamics Electricity Electro-motors English Language English Literature Free-hand Drawing French Geometry German Heat Heat Motors Integral Calculus Light Materials of Construction Mechanical Drawing Mechanics Mechanics of Engineering Mechanism Metal Work Military Tactics Mineralogy Perspective Drawing Physics Political Economy Sound Surveying Theoretical Electricity Thermodynamics Trigonometry Wood Work The aim of the course is to meet the needs of young men who intend to enter the practice of electricity in its various applications. The basis of the course is physics, es- pecially its electrical side, mathematics, and mechanical engineering. The general education of the student is, however, kept in mind, and the sub- ject matter of the junior and senior years is intended not only to strengthen this part of the development, by teaching him to think and act for himself, but also to awaken a lively and intelligent interest in the work before him.

Excellent laboratory facilities are pro- vided, furnished with the most modern apparatus. The laboratories are also supplied through pipes with water, gas, suction, high and low pressure steam, and are wired to use any electric current required. Positions in colleges, experiment sta- tions, sugar houses, fertilizer works, and manufacturing establishments have been filled by graduates from the chem- ical courses, while others have used these courses as a preparation for the medical profession or for study abroad. V. The General Course. This course gives to students an op- portunity to take parts of the courses in Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts ; to pursue the study of English, French, STUDIES* German, and history each for two or Agriculture (elective) Algebra American Literature more years ; to devote to philosophy Analytic Geometry (elective) nearly two years, and to mathematics Astronomy Botany Calculus (elective) and the sciences the time usually al- Chemistry Constitutional Law lowed in colleges.
