This ended the course in pure mathematics. The Juniors were offered Peck's Me- chanics and "lectures." The mathematical course for engineering stu- dents embraced also descriptive geometry (Church). All students were required to pursue mathematics through analytic geometry; the cal- culus was elective except to students in civil and mechanical engineer- ing. Until about the year 1878, William J. L. Nicodemus was professor of military science and civil and mechanical engineering. He was spoken o...f by students as a man of great ability in his line. On the death of Nicodemus one of his pupils, Allan Darst Conover, assumed 256 TEACHING AND HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS. charge of the department of civil engineering. In mechanical engi- neering the instruction fell into the hands of Storm Bull, a relative of the celebrated Ole Bull. Prof. Storm Bull studied at the Polytechni- cum in Zurich, Switzerland, and is a thorough master of the subjects which he teaches. Descriptive geometry has been taught by him ever since his connection with the university.
