Length OF Session.

class and n valuation Is made of each
recitation and exercise. The student
who stands at the head of his class
Is called First Honor Man. The
second Is called Second Honor Man
Five gold medals were given during
the past session.
The library Of the institute is sit
uated in the large room at the left Of
the main entrance. 1t is equipped
with reference books. periodicals. and
publications Of miscellaneous kinds,
which together make a most valua-
BILE collection OF technical and general
literature. In all there are some 5000
volumes to which the students and
public generally have access. Besides
the rich stores Of technical publ cation
are number Of works on general lit

learning the details of the special shop
In which he Is employed. IL Is the
effort OF the Virginia Mechanics In
stitute to teach such things as are not
taught the average Young man while
he Is serving his apprenticeship. The
most important thing perhaps is the
relationship of the drawing room to
the shop. Each student Is required
to spend enough time in the drawing
room to enable him TO produce a
satisfactory working drawing. In the
laboratories and shops. he will also
learn to use instruments Of precision
In order to make perfectly accurate
measurements, Some idea OF the
limit OF accuracy of tools, as we'll as

the exception of n foundry. a complete
mechanical equipment is in opera
ton. In making parts of machinery,
1t Is necessary to do certain casting.
This Is done for the school by some
neighboring foundry.

prevails.
Students HI the Shops.
In the shops situated in the base
nnent. students are trained in the
manipulation Of hand and machine
tools for working on wood and metal.
The special purpose OF the instruction
offered Is to famiiiarize the student
with the exact relation between the
drawing on the one hand and tho
mechanical processes which result in
the finished product.
Lockers are provided for those who
desire to have change OF clothing
while at work. and lavatories for
the use OF students Of these shops
are conveniently located.
In the organization OF the shops,
the most economical results are OBJ
tained by close specialization. At the
Same time. the workman Ia expected
to have broad knowledge Of me-

trades has enormously Increased, and

Loss by the Fire.
In 1861, the building was occupied
by the war and navy departments
and patent Office Of the. Confederate
States government. and with their
records and models was destroyed by
fire at the evacuation Of Richmond
in 1865. Nothing was left save the
grounds and the heavy foundations OF
the buildings.
The losses. which fell heavily upon
Richmond. prevented re-establish-
ment Of the institute until 1884, when
a new creature. Phoenix-like. rose
from the ashes OF its predecessor.
Rooms were first engaged at Main
and Eleventh streets. over the Ma
ttonal Bank OF Virginia. The large
number of students who thronged
these rooms made II imperative that
larger quarters be secured. Rooms In
wilkinson Hall. built on the original
site Of the old building. were then
used for some years. The Arlington
House. on East Main street. near

New Color Schemes.

Navy blue and violet are dominating
colors in millinery, and are mixed very
artistically with light threads of cerise,
orange. green and gray straw. Even
the new flowers show the influence Of
these contrasting mixtures, and often
some novelties in their arrangements.
Poppies of shot taffetas succeed the
white poppies Of velvet. Each petal
rests on another large petal Of green
crepe de chine, forming a border all
round, while the heart or center Of the
flower Is In ostrich feathers, either
black or yellow. This is an amusing
novelty for the spring millinery.
