Departments: Mathematics, physics, mechanics, chemistry, metallurgy, draw- ing, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, mining engineering, ore dressing, biology, mineralogy, petrography and geology. The object of the institution is to train men to take an active part in the devel- opment of the mineral wealth of the state and nation and thus increase the amount and value of productive property. Its instruction is practical and its graduates are successful workers in almost every important mining district of North America. The college offers special attention to men who have been en- gaged in practical business and who now seek for further education as an aid to their material advancement. The Michigan College of Mines is one of the largest and foremost schools of mining engineering in the country. It is the only one which has an elective system. The college is located at Houghton, Houghton county, in one of the most active mining districts in the world, one having some of the most extensive and most economically worked mines, the deepest shafts and largest mining machinery in the world. The courtesy of the mining companies operating in the vicinity and the methods of the college in using its exceptional environment give it unique facilities for practically training its students. The results of these fortunate conditions may be seen in the readiness with which its graduates find employment and also in the fact that of 134 men graduated, up to July, 1900, only three have left engineering for other
