The course in surveying is primarily designed to qualify the student for admission to the [)ractice of Provin- cial and Dominion Land Surveying, and to afford a thoroughly practical as well as theoretical training in field engineering. The work embraces chain surveying, angular surveying, the use and adjustment of the engineer's transit and theodolite, levels, plane-table, and other field instruments, the methods of contour surveyin" and underground surveying, railway curves and setting out work, hydrographic surveying, the methods and instiuments employed in geodetic surveys, and jiractical astronomy. The large drawing rooms are to bo fitted with suitable mouutings for the various surveying instruments for the prosecution of triang Uation and other instrumental work. The construction and adjustment of each instrument is made a spe-^ial study. Provision is made for a course of instruction in transit observations for time, in the astronomical observatory, and also for advanced courses in geodesy and practical astronomy, and foi practice in the use of magnetic field instruments, in accordance with the course laid down for the examination for Dominion Land Surveyors. Investigation of the errors of graduated circles and absolute standards of length, will bo made in connection with the advanced work in geodesy. As heretofore, courses of instruction are to be given in free-hand and model drawing, in the various depart- ments of descriptive geometry, and its applications, as in map projection and problems relating to machine design. Extensive chanQ-es are necessarily to bo made in the several courses, which i«'ill be duly announced at the commencement of the next session. Also, instead of charging a separate fee for tuition, matriculation, graduation, gymnasium and library, it has been decided to fix the uniform sura of $100 per annum as the fee to be paid by nil Students, which sum will include the cost of the material and the care of the apparatus and machinery in the laboratories and workshops. >: > < t;:: u D a to Ci '<»* .« *<*» s n 1 .-1 s > s 1 ^ -Si 1 00 t-4 55 s ^ •-* o ^ o <; s 3 Si ?'^ Uj ►'^ ^ l;^ 10 S> t^ 9^ 1 a ^ o ■^ 'C) ^ ^ (A -J o i> E £ ba o k a c E o u o •n C c o O Si s M 1 c o c - . 1 2 4) ti C8 *^ J- rt e M -J c o k. m v. o ^ --d bo '^ S p o ^ o c 0) O Ul k, ^ c ^ E tn a oc !< <» ^ « ^0 •^ ^ « M ■^ ►^ "« ^^4 •v» vT Kk ^ * ^«* ■v^ <: -^ <:» O >* »s* p.. o t^ ■«-^ •o a 5» 7 merelv as a chalrol olyll engineering and soeclal course n the (acuity of arts, It was advanced In 1K71 t« the standing of adepartment, and In 1S77 .lU'"'..'''?"'^ ''^ a distinct faculty HInce this nine It has made rapid progress andhKsde- veloped into the depariments of civil en- gineering, mining engineering, mechanical engineering and practical chemistry, and It •" b'/, hopP'i that In connection with its new tiulldlngs and endowments Itmaysoon be able to begin a fcliool of eleotrlcal engineer- ng, and that Its number of students, already large, will be greatly Increased.

His Excellency declared that It was '.well and truly laid," amid the cheers of the Ttu dents, who were gathered round the front and western end of the builaing, and also answered by the unanimous declaration- 'Its all right." HIS EXCELLENCY SPEAKS '"'-■""'duration in these days was assuming an importance far beyond that which it wai acknowledge^ to poKsess at any time during the past. He did not know whether he should be wrong in sajing it, but he be- lleved It was some forty years ago or theia abouts that this movement began to acqu re" Htrength. Prior to that time we cannon y recognize what diifl.ulties early engineers must have met with. We could now appre- ciate the labors of Watt, B„ulton and many others, and we could see, and, he hoped, appreciate how much the" h-d to contend with in working out each for himself the problems they required to deal with. In the year 1851 a great m')vement nni- " The Great Exhibition," held in London, was one of the contrlbutorv causes which led to that awakening of men's minds to seeing what was being done in other countries than their own by brinKin^ together from all parts of the world the latest developments of science and art. It produced a reaction ^P"\ tbe minds of men, and that Which in many cases before bad been a specialty of a country or an individual firm, became as it were knowledge given to the world at large From then to now many similar occasions ' had enabled the same process to be repeated, and men had come to know more closely and intimately what was the progress of science and art in other countries than their own. Concurrently with this were, of course, the great ties which have united the world —steam, electricity, etc., but in all these the most important part was played uud was Iikelv to be played by the science on behalf cf wbich those new buildings were to be constructed, where the latest developments might be examined and appreciated, where the principles of mechanical science would be explained and worked out, and where men's minds might be brought by a process of tuition a long way uoon that roed which In years gone by was travelled with toil and care, an advantage which only those who find the road improved for them can fully appreciate. But there was another cause why technical edu- cation seemed to have been rendered more prominently necessary. Under the old svs- tem of apprenticeship, which circumstances had now almost totally destroyed, a boy who took to a trade went through the vari- ous branches ana learned the general work of the profession. With the greater pace re- quired in the present day, -with the introdim- tiou of steam and mechanics and the further division of labor which became incident to it, difiBcultiea were increased as to general knowledge, and a young man engaged in a large factory found himself by the force of circumstances obliged to become a specialist in one branch It became evident not only in mechanical engineering, but in other branches that something more than mere rule of thumb knowledge was necessary. Jt was found that those who trusted alone to that were falling behind in the world ; and in Europe America and England it was found neces- I sary more and more to inculcate the princi- pies of science and to show that construction and mechanical engineering should be car- Med on by the liKht of the latest discussion there was too much reliance, perhaps, before m practice, as in coutra-distinction to theory and It was only in late years that it had been found practice and theory must go hand in hand, and that any nation which, in these days of keen commercial rivalry wished to hold its place in the fore front of the battle, must be educated not only by a practical training, but one Which was basej on sound princi- ples of theory. Having referred to the great progress which in recent years has been made m various branches of applied science, progress which not very long ago was un- dreamed of, he said that in the buildings be- ing erected students would have an oppor- tumty during their four yeais' course of pra,ctically learning their work in the foundry and forge and of learniog in the metal- work- "'g shop the prindples of many trades They would also learn hydraulics and the testing ,,r machinery, electrical science, wood and iron working and many other sub- jects. Th>-y would have practic»l instruction in these coupled with those theoretical lessons which were neces- swy to hrins hom» the piiuciuics on wLiuh they were acting, lu the course of his re- cent journey iu the lower provinces he could not but be filled with admiration of the land in which we lived and of its vast resources and the Rreat gifts of nature which were only waiting for the hand of man to come and utilize.
