No such thing as heedless choice of unrelatedtopics, based on no principle save that of following the lineof least resistance, is permitted. The technical courses being professional in aim, have asyet but little room for elective studies. They are dividedinto the schools of civil, mining, and electrical engineering,and chemistry; a division itself implying a decided special needs are, of course, recognized from time totime in these courses, especially in the chemical department,and a growing tendency towards subdivision exists. In dealing with all these courses a single method isimpracticable. Yet, however much mere uniformity may beshunned, a vital unity is sought and generally divisions under experienced teachers secure a definitediscipline.
