The object of the Institute is to furnish a training school for young men, in which they can obtain an education in the branches not usually taught in high schools and academies, combined with practical instruction in mechanical and scientific pursuits. The student is thoroughly drilled in the scientific part of the trade or profession he proposes to follow, inculcated by the prac- tical application, from day to day, in the machine shop or laboratories of the scientific facts obtained from books or lectures. It is intended that any graduate from the department of mechanics shall be fitted to assume the responsibility of superintending any department of mechanical work to which he has turned his attention, and to understand not only its practical details, but also its scientific principles.
