Abstract :
The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md., offers for the academic year 1910–1911 a course of 36 lectures on the science and art of illuminating engineering. The course will have three objects: (1), to indicate the proper coördination of those arts and sciences which constitute illuminating engineering; (2), to furnish a condensed outline of study suitable for elaboration into an undergraduate course for introduction into the curricula of undergraduate technical schools; and, (3), to give practical engineers an opportunity to obtain a conception of the science of illuminating engineering as a whole. The lectures will be given under the joint auspicies of the Johns Hopkins University and the Illuminating Engineering Society. The subjects and scope of the lectures have been proposed by the Society, and approved by the University. The lecturers have been invited by the University upon the advice of the Society. The University will provide facilities for demonstrations at lectures, and will also have installed a working exhibit of apparatus for experimental work in light, illumination, and illuminating engineering. This apparatus will be at the disposal of those who attend, and an opportunity will be afforded to undertake laboratory work during the term of the lecture course under the supervision of trained experts of the University and the Society. A fee of $25.00 will be charged for admission to the course and the accompanying laboratory instruction. The complete course of 36 lectures will be given between October 26 and November 8, 1910, inclusive.
