NOTE. Students in this course desiring to elect Calculus, are allowed to take that study in the Sophomore year, and to postpone some one of the Sophomore studies till the Junior year.

Same studies as in Classical Course, with the omission of the electives in Greek and Latin.

NOTE.-A brace enclosing the names of two or more studies indicates that those studies jointly extend through the year, the time being divided between them. The statement of number of terms, in the case of those studies which do not extend through the year, is only approximate.

Selection of Studies.

Each student is required to attend sixteen recitations a week, or the equivalent thereof, unless excused by vote of the Faculty; and, in addition, the rhetorical exercises assigned to the respective classes.

In making a selection among the elective studies, the following rules are to be regarded :

A student may take elective studies assigned to a class below his own, as well as those assigned to his own class; but not those assigned to a class above his own, except by special permission of the Faculty. The election must in all cases be made for the whole year; no changes from one department to another being permitted during the year. Studies must be selected whose hours of recitation do not conflict with each other, as indicated by the tabular statement The student's selection must in all cases be sub

on the next page.

ject to the approval of the Faculty.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, each student shall present to the Secretary of the Faculty, on the first day of the Fall Term, a list of the studies which he desires to take.

In the preceding table, each study is assigned to that year to which it belongs in the Classical Course. Exercises named without any sign or initial are daily exercises. Exercises which occur on alternate days are denoted by the signs* and †. Of these half-studies, those which are marked with the same sign occur on the same days; those marked with different signs occur on alternate days. It will be observed that recitations in half-studies assigned to the same hour will interfere with each other only when they, are marked with the same sign.

*

Letters following the names of studies indicate the days of the week on which certain exercises occur. Letters in connection with the sign or indicate that an exercise occurs on the day mentioned in those weeks only in which other exercises marked with the same sign occur on that day. Roman numerals preceding the names of certain studies indicate the sections into which the classes are divided.

The Chemical laboratory is open for students in Practical Chemistry, on the days denoted by a †, from 2 P. M. till 6 P. M.; the Natural History Laboratory and the Physical Laboratory are open for students in Practical Natural History and Practical Physics respectively, on the days denoted by the *, from 2 P. M. till 5 P. M. Each student electing either of these studies is required to spend at least two and a half hours consecutively in the Laboratory.

EXAMINATIONS.

Examinations, either oral or written, are held in all the studies of the course. The oral examinations are held near the close of the college year, and are conducted before Examining Committees appointed by the Executive Committee of the Trustees. The written examinations are held whenever the respective studies are finished; but the papers are reserved for inspection by the Examining Committees. No student who has been absent from fifteen per cent or more of the required exercises in any study, can be admitted to examination in that study, except by special permission from the Faculty. Such permission may be accorded when the Faculty are convinced that the absences are not due to culpable negligence. No student who has been absent from ten per cent or more of the required exercises in any study can be admitted to the regular examination in that study without first passing a preliminary examination.

Special examinations will be held during the third term for those who have been absent, by permission, from the regular examinations which have occurred in the previous part of the year.

A special examination will be held, commencing on the Tuesday before the beginning of the first term, for those who shall have failed to pass any of the examinations of the preceding year. Students who fail to pass at this examination will be required to attend recitations with the next class in the studies in which they are deficient, and to be examined with the class at the regular time. Those, however, whose failure to pass shall have been due to necessary absence from examinations, may be excused by the Faculty from the requirement of attendance upon recitations, provided their scholarship shall be deemed sufficiently good.

A student desiring to take more than the prescribed quota of elective studies may present himself at the special examination, at the beginning of the first term, to be examined in advance in any required study; and, on showing evidence of a high degree of proficiency, he may be excused from recitation in that study.

PUBLIC WORSHIP.

Devotional services are held in the College Chapel every morning, and all the students are required to be present.

Every student is required to attend the morning service on Sundays in some one of the churches in the city. Each student is allowed to elect what church he will attend, and is required to report such election to the Registrar at the beginning of each college year.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

No student is allowed to be absent from college without permission from the President.

The time appropriated to vacations is believed to be ample for the purpose of relaxation from study; and, in view of the unfavorable effect of all absences, either at the commencement or at any other period of the term, upon the standing and proficiency of the student, the Faculty earnestly request that parents and guardians will in no way encourage, or even sanction, such absences, without very urgent

reasons.
