and are still receiving new machinery and tools of all the forms familiar to the engineer as used in the trades. Before the close of the present college year they will be practically complete and are already sufficiently so to permit the instruction of sections of twenty-five students at one time. They will be extended and new tools added as the growing classes may make it neces sary. Fig. 1 shows one of the museums that of me chanism containing the Reauleaux collection of models illustrating the course in ' kinematics' of ' pure me chanism' or of the motions of machines. The second the museum of machines is similarly fitted up with cases containing models of machines and also with book cases and tables thus serving as a reading room as well as a museum and room in which to sketch machinery. These models are used in the lec ture rooms in the illustration of the courses of instruc tion in mechanism and in machine design. One of the drawing rooms is seen in Fig. 7 the freehand or fine art room. Four large rooms are devoted the depart ment of drawing and machine design. The lecture rooms are also fitted up with cases for apparatus especially intended for illustration in special subjects. For example that of the professor of me chanical engineering contains principally models and apparatus used in the course of lectures upon the steam engine and other motors. Some of the workshops are shown in Figs. 3 5 and 8. At the left is seen the blacksmith shop with its ten forges and its tools; at the right is the foundry with its stock of flasks and accessories and its cupola in which the iron is melted as required. Both of these departments greatly inter est the young mechanics wh under the careful and systematic instruction of their skilled teachers often do wonderfully good work and learn with singular rapid ity. The machine shop is seen at the lower part of our multiple illustration ; and here as well as in the car penter's and pattern maker's shop many a young successor to t
