The New Science courses.-The Long
fellow Scholarship Of $500.

Brunswick, Me, Nov. 7.-tSreciaD--
The New courses in mechanical draw
ing, descriptive geometry and surveying
at Bowdoin have proved very popular,
even more so than was at first expect
ed. Twenty men are taking the course
in mechanical drawing and descriptive
geometry, and eight are taking survey
ing which this year is only open to
seniors The courses were established
so that men who are going to folio"
up the sciences, may have the ad-
vantager Of four years of liberal artS
as a foundation for higher technical
training These courses also enapie
men to complete their studies in any III
the leading technical schools Of the
country in Two years. The Instructor
Henry 3. Hastings is graduate OK
Phillips Exeter academy and OF th.'
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and received the degree of civil en-
pineer last June While at Technology
Mr.. Hastings held a number OF honor
ary positions. He was president or the,
student civil engineering society, a.
member of the Banjo club. member
and manager of the golf team, vice.
president of the cooperative society
and class day orator. He has taken all
the mechanical drawing, descriptive
geometry and surveying COURSES which
the Massachusetts Institute Of TechnOl-
ogy offers. He was to return to Tech
nology this fall as assistant in the
civil engine ering department but decid-
ed to accept the offer to come to Bow
doin instead. Mr.. Hastings aims :"
cover the same amount Of gr' und in
his Courses at POwdoin as is covered
in similar courses at the Massachusetts
institute of Technology at Cornell ana
at other leading tee hnical Institutions
Arrangements have been made whereby
the authorities of the MaSSaC huScttS
Institute Of Technology have aGrt ed TO
accent these courses at EOWdpin as the
equivalent of similar courses at that
institution 50 that a student having
taken them at BOWdoin is able II COM
Dlete the entire course oi Technology

should increase very materially the
number of students at BOWdoln for
there have been many men before this

Bowdoin if they could have got such
technical course but in lack Of it have
gone elsewhere.
