Title
Introduction of field surveying summer course
Description
Around 1900, 'Laboratory practice and experimentation as part of instruction in the sciences were greatly increased in accordance with the educational policy of President Warfield. This was done not only in the departments of Chemistry and Biology, which now had new laboratories, but in Physics and Electrical Engineering, where the laboratory work heretofore had been greatly limited. The course in Civil Engineering, where the laboratory work had been more emphasized ever since the advent of Professor Porter, was now augmented by the introduction of field surveying through three weeks of the summer, immediately after Commencement.'
