PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.

In physical geography, such a knowledge of the subject is required as may be gained from the study of the text-book of any one of the following authors: Salisbury, Tarr, Davis, Gilbert and Brigham, Hinman, Dryer, Hopkins, Geikie. Certificates in physical geography will not be accepted without examination, with credit of one half-unit, unless one of the text-books above mentioned has been used, and the time devoted to the study has been at least the equivalent of four exercises a week for a half-year. Certificates will not be accepted without examination, with credit of one unit, unless one of the text-books above mentioned has been used, supplemented by collateral reading or laboratory work, and the time devoted to the study has been at least the equivalent of four exercises a week for a year.

BIOLOGY.

Credit will be given in biology for either one-half unit or for one unit, according to the amount of time the student has given to the study. To obtain a credit of one unit, the student must have given to the study the equivalent of four or five hours a week for a year. Credit will be allowed for work in either botany or zoology, any of the modern text-books in these subjects being recognized as satisfactory. If the student desires credit for a unit in botany he is expected to have a knowledge of both structural and morphological botany, and to have a practical familiarity with the method of analyzing flowers and using analytical keys. In zoölogy a more thorough comprehension of the structure and classification of animals is expected if a unit credit is given than if only a half unit. In case a student has had an extended course in physiology, this may be accepted in place of botany.

SPECIAL COURSES.

Special students, not candidates for a degree, may be admitted, upon passing such examinations as the Faculty shall in each case prescribe. (See also page 35.)

GENERAL REGULATIONS CONCERNING

ADMISSION.

ADVANCED STANDING.-All candidates for advanced standing must satisfy the Faculty of their proficiency in the preparatory studies, the required studies already pursued by the classes they propose to enter, and the proper quota of elective studies, or studies recognized as equivalents therefor. A certificate of standing in another college is not accepted as evidence of such proficiency, without such further inquiry or examination as may be necessary in the judgment of the respective instructors.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS.-Preliminary examinations in any of the requirements for admission may be taken a year or more before entering college, and a candidate will receive credit for any subjects thus passed in advance.

DATE AND PLACE OF EXAMINATIONS.-Examinations for admission are held twice each year, in June and in September.

In June the entrance examinations of the college are those of the College Entrance Examination Board, of which Wesleyan University is a member. An application for the privilege of taking these examinations must be made to the Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board, Post Office SubStation 84, New York, N. Y., from whom all necessary information regarding the June examinations can be obtained. These examinations will be held June 18-23, 1917, at a large number of widely distributed points, including Middletown.

Applications for examination at points in the United States east of the Mississippi River (also at Minneapolis, St. Louis, and other points on the Mississippi River) must be received by the Board on or before Monday, June 4, 1917; applications for examination elsewhere in the United States or in Canada must be received on or before Monday, May 28, 1917; and applications for examination at points outside of the United States and Canada must be received on or before Monday, May 14, 1917. In order to facilitate the making of arrangements for the proper conduct of the examinations, it is desired that all applications be filed as early as possible.

Each application filed in accordance with the foregoing requirements must be accompanied by the examination fee, which

is $5.00 for candidates examined at points in the United States and Canada, and $15.00 for candidates examined at points outside the United States and Canada. This fee should be remitted by postal order, express order, or draft on New York, payable to the College Entrance Examination Board.

Applications received later than the dates named above will be accepted when it is practicable to arrange for the examination of the candidates concerned, but only upon the payment of $5.00 in addition to the regular fee. The blank forms necessary for making this application may be obtained only from the Secretary of the College Entrance Examination Board.

The fees of candidates for examination in June, 1917, whose applications have been accepted by the Secretary, can under no circumstances be returned unless the request for their return is received on or before Monday, June 11, 1917.

A candidate for examination in two or more years will be required to pay the examination fee in each year.

The examinations in September will be conducted by the college, and no fees will be charged. They will be held only in Middletown. The date of the examination in 1917 will be September 14, 15, 17.

ADMISSION BY CERTIFICATE.-Certificates covering the foregoing requirements for admission to college are received from certain schools of good standing, which have been approved by the Faculty. A certificate will not be received unless it covers decidedly the major part of the requirements for admission.

No certificate will be received from any school in New England which has not been approved by the New England College Entrance Certificate Board, of which this college is a member. The Secretary of the Board is Professor Frank W. Nicolson, of Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., to whom applications from New England schools for the certificate privilege should be addressed. Such applications must reach the Secretary not later than April first, if approval is desired for the next academic year.

Diplomas issued by the Regents of the University of the State of New York, and pass cards supplementary to such diplomas, will be received in lieu of examination in the subjects which they cover. Regents' college entrance certificates will

also be received, provided they cover decidedly the major part of the requirements for admission.

Certificates from preparatory schools and Regents' diplomas are never accepted in lieu of examination for advanced standing. Students entering by certificate are considered as on trial until the completion of the mid-year examinations. A student admitted to college on certificate, who is dismissed during his Freshman year on account of inability to keep up with his class, must take examinations in all subjects required for admission, in case he desires to return to college.

Detailed information concerning admission by certificate may be obtained on application to the Secretary of the Faculty.

ADMISSION OF WOMEN.-Women were first admitted to the University in 1872. The Trustees voted, February 26, 1909, that no women should be admitted in any class later than that entering in 1909. Women may be admitted, however, as graduate students.

Satisfactory evidence of good moral character will be required in the case of all candidates for admission; and certificates of honorable dismissal will be required from those who have been members of other colleges.

The place of meeting of each course is indicated by means of the following abbreviations: F. H.=Fisk Hall; J. H.=Judd Hall; O. H.=Observatory Hall; S. C.-South College; S. L.=Scott Laboratory of Physics; CHEM. LAB., BIOL. LAB.=Chemical, Biological Laboratory.

An asterisk prefixed to the number of a course indicates that it can be elected only with the previous approval of the instructor; such approval must be in writing and must be handed in by the student along with his list of electives.

LATIN.

PROFESSORS HARRINGTON, NICOLSON, AND HEWITT.

Courses I., I.A, two of Courses II.-V., and any one of Courses VI., XV., and XVI. are required of candidates for preliminary honors in classics. Courses VII-XX. are intended primarily for those who have taken at least Course I. and two of Courses II.-V. But Courses XV. and XIX. may by special permission of the instructor be elected by those who have taken only Course I.; and students of marked ability in the reading of Latin, who are taking one of Courses II.-V., may be admitted to certain of the other courses at the same time by special permission of the instructor, to whom application should in each case be made.
