(of which 300 000 kronor was for the year 1912) in addition to a plot of land
of 65 000 square meters; further the ordinary estimates for the High School
were increased to 281 400 kronor, and extraordinary estimates amounting to
28 775 were granted for the year 1912.
In addition to the 3 000 kronor included in the estimates of expenditure for
students’ bursaries, the High School had at its disposal for 1911 the interest
on the bursary funds, the latter amounting altogether to 519 150 kronor.
The Board of the High School consists of a president nominated by the
Government, the Principal of the school, four members appointed by the
Government and one member elected by delegates of the "Jernkontoret" (Iron Institute).
The teachers possess the right of proposing three suitable persons as members of
the Board, one of whom may be a teacher at the High School.
The courses of study at the special divisions generally extend over four
years; instruction is given by 24 professors, 2 lecturers, 24 special teachers, and
5 docents, in addition to assistants. The Material Testing Institute connected
with the Royal High School is managed by an inspector, a director, and an
engineer.1
The special divisions2 of the High School, together with their
sub-departments, are as follows:
a) for machine construction and mechanical technology, with two
sub-departments :
1) for mechanical engineering
2) foj^ mechanical industry
b) for electrical engineering
c) for chemical technology
d) for mining science, with three sub-departments:
1) for mining mechanics
2) for metallurgy and smelting
3) for mining science
e) for road construction and hydraulic engineering
f) for architecture
g) for shipbuilding.
For admission as ordinary student it is necessary to have passed the
matriculation examination ("studentexamen") on the modern side or a corresponding
supplementary examination or, under certain conditions, to have obtained the
leaving certificate of a technical college.
In the autumn term of 1912, the number of students amounted to 500
in all.
The subjects of instruction are: mathematics, including analytical
geometry, differential and integral calculus, the theory of equations and
determinants, differential equations together with the method of least squares; descriptive
geometry; geodetics; numerical and graphical methods; physics; applied heat;
general and theoretical electrical engineering; mechanics; theory of solidity;
applied mechanics; construction of parts of machines; the theory of water
motors and hydraulic machines; the theory of heat motors; shipbuilding;
mechanical technology; mining mechanics; general and organic chemistry; chemical
analysis; chemical technology; electro-chemistry; mineralogy and geology; mining
chemistry; the properties of metals; metallography; general metallurgy;
metallurgy of iron,; metal smelting; mining science; building statics; building technics;
house-building; architecture; architectural history; ornamentation; modelling;
1 During the year 1911, the Dumber of tests carried out hy the Testing Institute was
9 939, as against 7 868 in the preceding year. — 5 With obligatory four-year courses, except
for the school for chemical technology, in which the course extends over three yeaTS, with
an optional fourth year.
