Department of Architecture (Instructor, Mr. J. F. Hennessy, Silver Medallist and Ashpitel Prizeman of the Eoyal Institute of British Architects, London). Two years' course of study. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, at 7.30 p.m. The course of instruction in architecture includes a number of subjects, and is completed in three years. Students who wish to get the certificate of Expert in Architecture must attend the whole course of instruction, and pass a satisfactory examination in each subject, and must also obtain certificates for physics and mathematics, and satisfy the examiners as to their knowledge of English and bookkeeping. A student may, however, attend any course of instruction in any subject (A) under architecture, and if he pass a satisfactory examination shall be granted a certificate. The course of instruction is as follows : — A. Architects and builders : First year—first term— Practical plane geometry, 1, Monday; freehand drawing, 1, Thursday ; mathematics, 1, Wednesday; physics, 2, Tuesday and Friday: second term—mathematics, 1, Wednesday; physics, 2, Tuesday and Thursday; solid geometry, 1, Monday. Second year—first term —Architectural drawing, 3, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; applied mechanics, 2, Tuesday and Thursday : second term— architectural drawing and design, 3, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; perspective, 1, Tuesday. Third year —first term—Architectural drawing and design, 3, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday : second term —the same in continuation ; architectural history ; building-construction. Architecture (A Course). —First year : First term —Technical drawing—use of drawing-instru-ments ; drawing to scale ; copying drawings ; enlarging, and altering sizes ; orders and styles of architecture : second term —technical drawing—working out complete designs of buildings from sketches and partial assistance, by means of blackboard lectures on building-construction, building-materials, ventilation, and the principles of design. Second year : First term —Draft specifications—colouring and neatly finishing set of plans ; inch-scale, and full-sized detail drawings for foremen and clerks of works; perspective drawing ; building with accessories, finished with pen-and-ink shading: second term —architecture—lectures and lessons to the individual student in designing buildings and objects, especially in the classic, Gothic and Italian styles. Architectural Design. —The subjects are to be worked out at home. Pencil-drawings to be submitted to the instructor, who will criticize them, and after the alterations are completed they are to be handed in within the time allotted for each subject, or they will not be permitted to compete for prizes. First term: Porch for a village church, early English style—width inside, 9ft.; plan, elevation, and section; scale, 4ft. to lin. (Eeferences: Brandon's "Analysis of Gothic Architecture," sketches in Building Notes.) Terrace-house, 20ft. frontage —plans, elevation, and section;
