Description
Mechanical
Building
(Southern
University
,
New
Orleans
,
La.)
The
Mechanical
Department
at
Southern
University
was
initiated
on
October
7
,
1890
and by
1893
it
was in
full
operation
and had a
three
year
course
of
study
. There were
27
students
in the
program
. The
course
in the
Mechanical
Department
extended
over
three
years
. Any
pupil
of
Southern
University
fourteen
years
of
age
or
over
was to be
received
in this
course
of
study
.
Pupils
under
fourteen
years
of
age
who
displayed
a
special
adaptation
for the
course
were
received
by
vote
of the
faculty
of the
University
. In this
department
there were
two
main
points
of
views
: the
first
and
most
important
is
that the
teaching
shall
be
educational
. The
lessons
are
graded
in
difficulty
,
so
that the
pupil
may
really
understand
each
process
before
passing
on to those
more
complicated
,
thereby
gaining
an
insight
into
principles
which
enable
him to
hereafter
apply
for
himself
the
methods
and
process
of the
exercises
under
different
circumstances
. The
second
point
is
that
each
process
taught
shall
be
practically
correct-in
no
case
shall
the
pupils
be
allowed
to
use
wrong
tools
or
improper
methods
, but
all
must
be in
accordance
with the
views
of the
practical
and
competent
mechanic
. The
first
professor
of the
Mechanic
Department
was
Victor
L
.
Roy
. A
resident
of
Avoyelles
Parish
and a
graduate
of
Louisiana
State
University
, he was
appointed
on
October
1
,
1891
.
Roy
served
from
October
,
1891
until
October
,
1897
,
when
he
resigned
to
accept
the
principalship
position
of the
Marksville
High
School
. By
1904
, the
three
year
course
,
which
included
understanding
of the
principles
of
such
trades
as
Carpentry
,
Mill-Wrighting
,
Joinery
,
Cabinet
Making
,
Trimming
,
Scroll
,
Tin-Smithing
and
others
, had
advanced
course
offerings
.
After
Roy's
resignation
Frederick
F
.
Simms
took
charge
in
1905
.
[Frederick
Simms
was the
first
individual
to
receive
the
Bachelor's
degree
from the
institution
, and the
only
person
to be
granted
the
degree
during
the
school's
thirty-three
years
in
New
Orleans]
. The
trades
offered
within
the
woodwork
section
of the
Mechanical
Department
represented
a
wide-range
of
courses
. These
included
:
Carpentry
,
Mill-Wrighting
,
Joinery
,
Cabinet
making
,
Trimming
,
Scroll
sawing
,
Tin-smithing
and
others
. The
wood-working
shop
occupied
the
entire
lower
floor
of the
Mechanical
Building
[measuring
'35
X
80'
feet]
. The
drafting
room
of the
Department
was
located
in its
original
quarters
by the
Spring
of
1910
.
When
the
Mechanical
Department
increased
its
floor
space
from
3,300
to
4,500
square
feet
, this
gave
ample
room
for
16
drawing
stands
,
drawer
case
,
reading
tables
,
book
and
magazine
shelves
and
other
needed
equipment
. The
course
of
study
included
:
subjects
in
construction
,
projections
and
perspective
"with
generous
application
in
shop
and
architectural
drawings
,
including
tracing
and
blue-printing.
" This
course
was
open
to
students
who
had
reached
a
sufficiently
advanced
stage
in their
mathematics
. There were
twenty-five
students
engaged
in this
work
in
1910
.
