General Statement.

COURSES OF STUDY.-The University presents to its undergraduate students the option of three regular courses of study, each extending through four years, which are named, respectively, the Classical Course, the Latin-Scientific Course, and the Scientific Course.

The Classical Course comprises that range of studies which is usually included in the college curriculum.

The other two courses are designed to secure to those whose circumstances or tastes do not permit an extended study of the ancient languages, an opportunity to acquire a sound mental training and liberal culture, as well as a good preparation for advanced courses of scientific or technical study.

Elective StuDIES.-In each of the above courses, all studies of the Freshman Year are required. In the Scientific Course, all studies of the Sophomore Year are also required; but in the last two years of this Course, and the last three years of the Classical and the Latin-Scientific Course, only a part of the studies are required, the student being allowed to make up his quota of work by selecting from a wide range of Elective Studies.

In the choice of these electives, the student is earnestly advised to exercise prudence and deliberation, and especially to so regulate his choice that his electives will together form a harmonious and consistent course of study. And in no case will a student be allowed to select a study which he is not, in the judgment of his instructors, qualified to pursue with advantage.

SPECIAL COURSES.— Students who do not desire to complete either of the above courses, may receive instruction in such studies

as they may select, provided they prove themselves, upon examination, qualified to pursue them with advantage. It should, however, be understood, that this provision is intended for the benefit, not of those students who are incompetent to take one of the regular courses, but of those who have already obtained a preliminary education so thorough as to enable them to pursue with advantage extended courses of study in particular departments.

Such Special Students will be expected to attend all exercises assigned them, and will be subject to all the general rules of the College.

POST-GRADUATE STUDIES.--Extended instruction will be given to those who wish to pursue post-graduate courses of study in any of the departments.

Terms of Admission.

Candidates for admission must present satisfactory testimonials of good moral character; and certificates of regular dismission will be required from those who have been members of other colleges.
