"At each promotion the three first semesters are taken up with
general and scientific studies. Technical applications are the
subject of the lectures and exercises of the three last
semesters. At the end of the third year certificates are given to
those pupils who have undergone examination in a satisfactory
manner, and diplomas to such as have particularly distinguished
themselves."
When pupils have been received at the school, after passing the
necessary examination, their time of working is divided up between
lectures and questionings and different laboratory manipulations.
The course of lectures on general and applied physics comprises
hydrostatics and heat (Prof. Dommer), electricity and magnetism (Prof.
Hospitalier), and optics and acoustics (Prof. Baille). Lectures on
general chemistry are delivered by Profs. Schultzenberger and
Henninger, on analytical chemistry by Prof. Silva, on chemistry
applied to the industries by Prof. Henninger (for inorganic) and Prof.
Schultzenberger (for organic).
