Prof. Belles-lettres. Terms cash with order. The course of the Stevens Institute is of four years' duration, and covers all that appertains to the profession of a Mechanical Engineer. By means of Workshops provided with excellent machinery, Physical Laboratories whose appointments are without an equal, and with the finest Cabinets of Instruments, every opportunity for the acquisition of thorough and practical knowledge is afforded. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. Candidates for admission to the first year of the course, should not be less than 16 years of age, and must be prepared to pass a satisfactory examination in arithmetic, algebra, including quadratic equations, geometry as given in Davies' Legendre, and the six elementary propositions of Plane Trigonometry. Candidates for admission to the higher classes must be prepared to pass a satisfactory examination in all the studies previously pursued by the classes which they propose to enter. Advanced students and men of science desiring to avail themselves of the appliances of the laboratories of the Stevens Institute, to carry on special investigations, may apply to the President. For further particulars address the President, II. MORTON, Hoboken, N. J. A MECHANICAL LABORATORY has been founded in connection with the Department of Engineering, in which the strength and other properties of materials are determined, and in which, with the aid of the several other departments of the Institute various technical researches are conducted. Trials of steam and other engines, of steam boilers and of machinery are made, under the direction of the Professor of Engineering, by students or skilled employees. A small amount of work in designing machinery and in general engineering can be done when it may be made a means of instruction of advanced students. For Terms, address the Director of the Mechanical Laboratory. |
