The Sheffield Scientific School was first or ganized in 1847, and received its present name 1860; from 1863-92 it was the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, and received the national grants for such institutions. It offered, until the past year, undergraduate courses of three years; French and German, English and general science are included in all courses, and the work of the freshman year is much the same for all.
Lately, the courses most distinctly marked out are in civil, mechanical, electrical, municipal and sanitary engineering; also those in engi neering preparatory to mining, in chemistry preparatory to metallurgy, in natural history, in mineralogy and other studies preparatory to geology, in biology preparatory to medicine, in studies preparatory to a forestry course, and in select studies preparatory to other higher studies. One of the most elaborate additions to the courses in recent years is provided for by the Hammond Mining and Metallurgical Laboratory, the gift of John Hays Hammond of the Sheffield class of 1815.
