Number of Students

While this institution, in the
course of instruction. gives prom
inence to the sciences and their
application, the aim has always
been to give every student though
pursuing the most technical
branches, liberal education, d
thorough discipline in those studies
which add to the culture and re-
finement of life To this end, all
students are required to continue
the study of the English language
and literature throughout the col
lege course.
All students who take full four
years course leading to the bach
elor's degree, are also required to
take mathematics two years. his
tory two years, physics, chemistry
astronomy, political economy, draw
ing, mechanic arts. elementary ag-
riculture, military science and drill
Thus the college gives each stu
dent broad basis of general in
formation and culture upon which
to establish his technical training
Those who have guided the policies
of the institution from the begin
ming have rejected the idea that
the purpose of the scientific school
is merely to teach a trade. The
workshops are educational labora-
tories and not mere commercial
factories.

Veterinary Medicine

The three-year course in veterinary
medicine and surgery leads to the degree
of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. 1t is
the outgrowth of twenty years work OF
the department of physiology and veter-
mary science. Moreover It has been es-
tablished to meet the demand of the
young men of the South who desire to
become educated veterinarians and for
students who desire to prepare for the
study of human medicine.
The students take five terms of work
IN the department of animal industry and
dairying. one years work in PHARMACY
four terms of work in the chemical de-
partment, one years work in botany, and
one years work in English.

Aim of the College

The land grant colleges of the United
States founded upon an act OF Congress,
July . 1862, donating public lands to the several
states which may provide colleges for the ben
eft of the agricultural and mechanical Sciences
or to use the exact words of the measure: for
the endowment, support and maintenance OF at
least college where the leading object shall
be- without excluding other scientific and class
studies and including military tactics, to
each such branches of Tearing are related to
agriculture and mechanic arts for the liberal
and practical education of the industrial classes
in the several pursuits and professions of life
In the original organization of the college
on March 20, 1872, the board of directors keeping
in view the of the above charter, estab-
fishing the departments: Cd Scientific agricul-
ture animal husbandry, rural agriculture, ETC.;
(2) civil and mining engineering, including
railroad engineering road engineering survey
ing, assayng, treatment of ores and metallurgy;
$50 chemistry agricultural chemistry analyti-
cal chemistry; the institution thus taking the

1886, with increase of income, the first depart.

the South was established. (5) In 1883

Mechanical Engineer
ing

gineering furnishes instruction in
steam engineering, materials of con-
struction, drawing and machine de-
sign, electrical engineering together
with laboratory work. The course
is intended to qualify men to fill
positions in the manufacturing in
dustries.
The work in heat and steam en-
gineering is carried on in the power
house, where a great variety of ap-
paratus is available for instruction.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18
Architecture

The trustees of the Alabama Poly
technic Institute established in June,
1907. a department of architecture to
comply with an increasing demand
for instruction in this subject, and to
encourage students to take up a
profession which hitherto could only
be pursued after an extensive term
of study in the North. The depart
ment is the first of it's kind in the
South.
A course of study has been ar
ranged to give theoretical and
practical knowledge of architecture
advantage of office opportunities
upon graduation. 1t embraces
architectural drawing and design,
history and ornamental architectural
engineering and office practice.

Summer School Ii
Mining and Civil
Engineering

Auburn is the only college in the
South offering a summer school in
engineering.
A course of practical field work is
given each summer for four weeks
in all phases of field engineering,
viz: surveying, plating, Topographic
cal drawing, hydraulics, leveling,
triangulation. use of transit, plane
table. etc. Practice work is also af-
forded In study of mines. coal wash
ing, coking, ETC., gold mining and
smelling.

Agricultural
Sciences

The instruction in agri-
cultural sciences includes
theoretical and practical
work in those branches
that relate to agriculture,
horticulture, animal indus
try, botany and entomolo-
gy, and is for those stu
dents who propose to de-
vote themselves to agricul-
tural pursuits.
