The conditions for admission to this hall are: (i) The pay­ m en t of two hundred dollars ($200.00) a y ear on th e first of August, and (2) satisfactory service as a w aiter, The w aiting in nowise interferes w ith th e stu d e n t’s work, and all th e educational advantages are open to him. I t is to be regretted th a t through th e lack of endow m ent th e U niversity can offer only a lim ited num ber of such opportunities each year. I t is neces­ sary to apply early for these appointm ents.

THE INFIRMARY

near th e football rectangle. T he field contains te n

acres of ground, and is a gift to th e U niversity from Mr. W arren A. Cartier, C. B., of th e class of '87.

O T H E R BU ILD IN G S

There are num erous other large buildings connected w ith the U n iv e rsity : H oly Cross Hall, D ujarie Hall, th e Com m unity House, th e Presbytery, and S aint E d w ard ’s Hall, th e last-nam ed being a school for children under th e age of thirteen, in care of th e Sisters of th e H oly Cross.

SYSTEM OF INSTRUCTION

The entire plan of studies is based on th e modified

elective system. The stu d en t is free to select his

own curriculum conform ably to his n a tu ra l liking, th e career in life he m ay have in view, or th e deter­ m inate intellectual b e n t developed during his secondary

school y e a rs ; b u t, though he is free to elect his own studies, he has not, however, unlim ited freedom in this respect. T he principle of general election is mod­ ified. B est th e young Freshm an in his inexperience choose unwisely, he is aided in m aking his choice of studies b y being perm itted to select from am ong a num ber of parallel program s leading to baccalaureate degrees. E ighteen program s are open for his choice in th e Colleges, each em bracing courses which, in th e opinion of th e F aculty, contribute b est to cultural, scientific or professional knowledge. These program s are, in some ‘cases, m ade elastic b y th e introduction

U N IV ER SITY OR NOTRE DAME ₁₃

of elective courses, especially in the Junior and Senior 1 years. S tudents who wish to spend a lim ited tim e in stu dy and can n o t com plete all th e courses in a program for a degree m ay register as special stu d en ts and elect any course for which their prep aratio n has fitted them .

The hours scheduled in th e different program s are credit hours based on th e average am ount of tim e

required for preparation of ,recitations. One hour

of recitation is regarded as th e equivalent of two hours of laboratory work. .The m inim um num ber pf credit hours which a stu d e n t m u st carry, except in his Senior year, is sixteen, the m axim um num ber which b e m ay

ordinarily carry is tw enty. Students who wish to

tak e m ore work th a n is indicated by the m axim um requirem ents m ust apply by form al petition- to th e F acu lty for th e requisite permission.

REGULATIONS GOVERNING ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGES

Candidates who wish to enter any of th e Colleges m ust present evidence, either by exam ination or by a properly attested certificate, of ability to enter on th e courses of th e Freshm an year. The specific sub­ jects required for entrance will be found later in this catalogue.

2 0 BULLETIN OB THE

DISCIPLINE

Official reports of each s tu d e n t’s class standing will be sen t to parents and guardians quarterly.

The F acu lty m aintains th a t an education which gives little a tte n tio n to th e developm ent of th e m oral p a r t of a y o u th ’s character is pernicious, and th a t i t is impossible to bring ab o u t this developm ent where students are granted absolute relaxation from all F acu lty governm ent while outside th e class-room. A young m an m u st learn obedience to law by th e actu al

practice of obedience. H ere stu d en ts are required

to obtain perm ission for any d ep artu re from th e regular daily routine.

Moreover, th e quiet and concentration of m ind th a t are needed for college work are n o t obtained except where discipline exists.

Therefore th e following regulations, shown by ex­ perience to be salutary, are inforced a t the. U niversity. 1. Mo s tu d e n t shall leave th e U niversity grounds w itho ut permission from th e P resident or th e person delegated to represent him.

2. L eave of absence will n o t be gran ted to stu den ts during th e term , except in cases of urgen t necessity. There is no v acatio n a t F aster.

3. S tu d en ts are required to report a t th e U ni­

versity im m ediately after arriving a t S outh Bend. This rule is binding n o t only a t th e beginning of th e scholastic year, b u t a t all other tim es w hen leave of

absence has been granted. U nnecessary delay in

S o u th Bend is looked upon as a serious violation of rule.

4. F la g ra n t disobedience to au th o rity , cheating in exam inations, th e use of intoxicating liquors, im ­ m orality, th e use of profance and obscene language,

UNIVERSITY OR NOTRE DAME 21

and an unauthorized absence from th e U niversity lim its are among th e causes for expulsion. In case of suspension or expulsion for such offences, no fee shall be returned.

5. The use of cigarettes is strictly forbidden, a second offence being punished by suspension for one m onth.

THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

In th e in du strial developm ent of a co u n try th e engineer tak es an im p o rtan t p a rt. M any new industries are springing up and th e great a ctiv ity in those already established th ro u g h o u t th e world creates a dem and for th e services of tra in ed engineers.

The program s of studies in th e five departm ents of engineering a t N otre Dam e are arranged to give a knowledge of th e fundam ental facts and theories th a t are applied in engineering work. M athem atics is fore­ m ost am ong these requirem ents. The n a tu ra l sciences receive th e ir share of a tte n tio n and due im portance is given to language in arranging th e program s of studies.

L ab o rato ry w ork and field work give a certain am ount of practice in th e application of th e theory to actual

physical conditions. These conditions are m ade to

correspond as closely as possible to th e real work of th e engineer.

A stu d en t who has no liking for m athem atics should n o t be encouraged to ta k e up an engineering course. The successful engineer is one who th in ks clearly and acts accurately. Clear think in g is necessary to m aster - m athem atical subjects and skill and accuracy are acquired b y applying th e results of m athem atical calculations to p articu lar practical cases in labo rato ry work.

Five regular program s of studies have been a rra n g e d : one leading to th e degree of Civil Engineer, one to th e degree of Mechanical Engineer, one to th e degree of Electrical Engineer, on to th e degree of Engineer of Mines, and one to th e degree of Chemical Engineer.

Special S hort Courses in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering are offered to accom m odate those who wish

UN IVER SITY OR NOTRE DAME 29

to fit them selves for practical work in th e shortest possible tim e.

The various laboratories are equipped w ith th e m ost approved forms of instrum ents and appliances and con­ siderable tim e is given to technical work. The equip­ m ent for each departm ent will be found described and referred to on th e succeeding pages of this catalogue.

In addition to th e work in th e laboratories and the power plants of th e University, students are ta k e n on inspection to u rs to th e im p o rtan t engineering works in th e neighborhood. Several of th e largest m an u factur­ ing plants in th e world are in South Bend or th e vicinity.

In th e schedules of studies one hour credit is given for each recitation or lecture which requires from one to tw o hours’ preparation. Two hours actual tim e in laboratory work, shopwork or drawing is required for each hour on th e schedule.

EXPENSES

In addition to th e regular fee for m atriculation, board, tu itio n , lodging, etc., as given on page — , th e regular stu d ents in th e five Engineering Program s are required to p ay labo ratory fees to cover, in p a rt, th e cost of m aterials consumed and th e deterioration of th e ap p ara ­ tu s used.

THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

f g

The course of instruction are designed to prepare stu d en ts for a thorough and system atic training in the sciences and in th e principles of Civil Engineering, to perform intelligently th e duties of th eir profession, either in th e office or in some of th e responsible positions superintending the construction and operation of public works. To secure these results th e stu d en t is given, n o t only a sound theoretical training in th e courses of study, b u t he is also required to stu d y the practical applications of th e principles upon which th e theory is based. The first two years are devoted to th e stu d y of m athem atics and th e theoretical branches. The last two years are given to th e stu d y of applied courses—■ practical work in th e laboratory and field, as m uch as possible, being required thro u gh ou t th e course.

Sufficient instruction is given in French and German to enable th e stu d en t to read easily and intelligently professional works in these languages; and th e stu d y of English is pursued until th e stu d en t is qualified to prepare acceptable them es on professional subjects. Instructio n based upon stan d ard text-books on engineer­ ing is given throughout th e course by m eans of lectures, recitations, practice in laboratory, drawing-room and field. This work is largely supplem ented b y assigning to th e student, for solution, practical problems bearing directly upon th e subject m a tte r discussed in th e class­

32 BULLETIN OB THE

room and requiring original investigation, th u s training th e stu d e n t to h ab its of independence and aw akening his interest in th e work of his profession.

The D epartm en t is provided w ith all th e instrum ents necessary for effective w ork in th e different branches of field engineering. The in stru m en tal outfit consists of surveyor’s tran sits, engineers’ tra n sits w ith levels and vertical circles attach ed to telescopes, also solar a tta c h ­ m ents, engineers’ wye levels and a plane table w ith all th e attachm en ts, clinometers, chains, tapes, leveling rods, etc., and one Olson’s cem ent testin g machine. A fter th e stu d e n t is ta u g h t th e use and ad ju stm en t of th e instrum ents, surveys, elem entary in character, are commenced an d continued progressively until th e m ore difficult principles and m ethods are understood. In a sim ilar m anner is in stru ction given in th e courses of san itary engineering, hydrom echanics, resistance of m aterials, bridges and roofs, etc., th u s fam iliarizing th e stu d en t w ith practical engineering subjects, and the m ost im proved m ethod of execution and designing. A large draughting room offers facilities for th e proper s tu d y of all th e courses in m echanical draw ing and design. The room is splendidly lighted from above, well v entilated and contains th e la te st form of drawing

tables. There are suitable arrangem ents for blue­

printing, b o th b y n a tu ra l and electric light.

The constantly growing city of S outh Bend, w ith a population now of s ix ty thousand, is one of th e m ost im p o rtan t m anufacturing cities in th e Middle W est. Some of th e largest plants in th e world are situ ated here. One of th e greatest w ater power developm ents in th e U nited S tates is located a few miles from th e University. Special advantages are th u s afforded to stu den ts for th e inspection of th e m ost m odern engineering works now

-completed or in process of construction. The City

Engineer is one of th e exam ining board.

A thesis on some subject approved by th e head of th e D epartm ent connected w ith th e course of study, is required fo each stu den t as a condition of graduation. The thesis m ust em body th e results of original research.

THE DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The Program of studies in Mechanical Engineering* leading to the degree of Mechanical Engineer, is open to young men who wish to prepare themselves for the designing of m achinery, w ith its appurtenances, and for th e successful m anagem ent of power plants. As the program requires a thorough knowledge of pure and applied M athematics, as well as of Physics, only those capable of adapting them selves to these requirem ents should tak e it up. The program of th e departm ent is modeled in th e tw o fold belief th a t a thorough funda­ m ental training is best secured by a stu d y of th e practical application of the principles involved, as well as of the theoretical principles.

The work of th e departm ent, conducted in connection w ith other departm ents elsewhere described, consists of th e study, by tex t-bo o k or lectures, of the m aterials used in m echanical engineering, accompanied by th e science of pure m echanical kinematics, which traces th e m otions of connected p arts w ithout reference to th e cause of such motions, to the work done or energy tran sm itted . This is succeeded b y machine design, which is a direct developm ent of kinem atics, and the course

continues throughout th e Junior and Senior years. The courses in Shop work are m ost complete. The first y ear’s work is confined to practice in the wood- shop, in which th e principles ofi carpentry, turning, and

3 4 B U LL ETIN OB TH E

p attern -m ak in g are ta u g h t. W hen th e stud ents have become sufficiently skilled in woodwork, th e y tak e up th e w ork of th e foundry, blacksm ith shop, and m achine shop. A system atic course of tra in in g is provided, which advances th e stu d en t by easy steps un til he has m astered all th e details of th e work.

The la tte r p a rt of th e Senior year is largely ta k e n up in th e p reparation of a graduation thesis. Here espe­ cially th e stu d e n t is ta u g h t to depend as m uch as possible upon his ow n resources and abilities in exercising his ingenuity. This is th e culm inating effort of th e program em bodying its chief results, and is expected to show considerable originality.

B very possible advantage is given th e stu d en t wishing to specialize in some of th e branches of engineering, to w ard furthering his knowledge and ab ility in th e p articular field desired. He m ay ta k e up general m achine design, steam design, specifications and contracts, installation and erecting, original research or gas engine design and operation. A system atic curriculum of stu d y will be outlined in each individual case leading to a com plete and proficient knowledge of th e work undertaken.

Access m ay be h ad to all m achinery and ap paratus of th e U niversity contained in th e various power plants and laboratories elsewhere described, and every effort is m ade b y th e authorities to m ake th e work as com­ prehensive as possible.

The laboratories and shops are equipped w ith all necessary ap p aratu s and m achinery. The wood shop is supplied w ith m odern work-benches fully equipped w ith th e smaller tools necessary for carpentry, lathes for tu rn ed work, tw o jig saws, a pony planer, a joiner, an edge m oulder and shaper, a universal trim m er, circular saw w ith dado and drilling attach m en ts and band saw,

UNIVERSITY OR NOTRE DAME _{3 5}

th e whole forming an adequate equipm ent for a th o r­ ough m astery of joinery, scroll work and p a tte rn m aking.

The power for operating th e m achine shop is derived from the electric p lan t of the University, two ten-horse power m otors being used for this purpose, from which power is tra n sm itted to the various machines by line shafting running th e entire length of th e building. The latest im proved lathes have been provided, nine in num ber, varying from a five-inch swing in th e sm allest to a large engine lathe w ith sixteen foot bed, having a capactiy for work tw enty-eight inches in diam eter. Two drill presses, a large planer, a shaping machine and a Brown and Sharp milling machine complete the outfit, thus m aking th e machine shop a model of its kind. There have been completed lately in the fnachine shop seven new screw cutting lathes of fourteen-inch swing, a high speed bench hand lathe, one tw enty- eight inch Sibley and W are drill press, one horizontal 8x12 slide valve steam engine and a wood milling machine. The equipm ent is added to regularly, and recently a Seneca Falls lathe of fourteen inch swing and eight foot bed, a Crown high speed lathe, a Toledo punch press and a complete new set of chucks, drills, taps, m andrels and lathe dogs have been installed to m eet the additional requirem ents of th e courses. I t is th e policy of this departm ent to refrain as m uch as possible from exercise work, and each stu d en t is usually tak ing p a rt in the construction of some new machine or engaged on general repair work for th e University, a plan which is regarded superior to a fixed routine of exercises.

The blacksm ith shop has th e usual com plem ent for teaching forging, annealing, welding and tool-m aking. In th e foundry work th e stu d e n t is instru cted in th e proper disposition of gates and sprues, the m ixing of

TWO-YEAR PROGRAM IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Theory, Design and Operation of Gas, Oil and Vapor Engines.

This program is devoted exclusively to th e s tu d y of explosive m otors, in theory, design, construction and operation.

The rapid progress m ade in recent years in th e design of gas engines, together w ith th eir ad ap tatio n to th e supplying of power for alm ost every requirem ent, has led to th e establishm ent of this program for young m en wishing to m ake a special stu d y of this branch of engineering.

The essential work of th e first year consists of a general descriptive stu d y of th e different types of engines w ith discussions on th e general m anagem ent, operations, care and special uses to which this ty p e of m otor m ay be applied. D uring th e second year th e general th e o ry of th e gas engine is stud ied and th e design of an engine for specific purposes is undertaken by each stud ent.

The lab o rato ry work will consist in p a rt of indicator practice, determ ination of m echanical and th erm o d y n a­

mic efficiency, speed regulation, and economy. To

these are added studies in various kinds of ignition, operation of vaporizers and carburettors and practical m anagem ent of in tern al com bustion engines. A con­
