Special students in the College of Mining must have a preparation at least equivalent to the regular entrance requirements in either (a) Mathematics. Algebra (3) and Plane Geometry (2), or (b) Physics (11), or (c) Chemistry (12B); and since all of these subjects are prerequisite to most of the mining courses, it is highly desirable for special students in mining to be prepared in all of these subjects. In order to take advanced work in mining, special students must have, in addition, the same prerequisites for the courses they elect as regular students. The prerequisites for each of the courses given are stated under Courses of Instruction. Most of the courses begin in August and continue throughout the academic year. It is therefore important for special students to begin their work in August. Applicants will not usually be admitted later unless they have advanced standing. It is impossible for a special student to complete the work of any course in less time than a regular student. As most of the courses of instruction continue throughout the year, a special student can derive little advantage from less than one year's residence at the University. GRADUATE COURSES. Students desiring to pursue advanced or special work after graduation will be afforded every facility that the libraries, laboratories, and collections of the University offer. The degrees of Mining Engineer and of Metallurgical Engineer are granted under the general Conditions for Degrees in Engineering stated in the Graduate Department of this REGISTER. Candidates for either of these degrees should announce their intention to the Dean of the College, and arrange with him a course of study and of practical laboratory work. COLLEGE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING. FACULTY. The Faculty of each College consists of the President of the University and those Professors and Instructors, and only those, whose departments are represented in it by required or elective studies. UNDERGRADUATE COURSES. The requirements for admission are given on page 53. The requirements for graduation from this College, with the degree of B.S., are set forth in the following scheme.* The studies are explained in detail in the description of the Courses of Instruction. The undergraduate course in Civil Engineering comprehends three great divisions of work: First, surveying, practical astronomy, railroad location, topography, mapping, etc., which may be called field engineering; second, civil engineering construction, embracing the scientific methods of designing and constructing roofs, bridges, sanitary systems, retaining walls, dams, roads, canals, railway structures, etc.; and third, the applications of the principles of civil engineering to the practical problems of irrigation. As much time as is practicable, including a summer class in surveying, is given to the first division of work, with the intention of rendering the student skillful and ready in the use of the instruments and methods adopted by the best field engineers. Full theoretical discussion is given to the different topics in constructive engineering; and practical application, design problems and illustrations are given at length in the engineering draughting-rooms. *In the scheme as here tabulated, alternative electives are indicated by means of parentheses inclosing the figures in the columns headed Units."

The Freshman and Sophomore courses in Irrigation Engineering are the same as for the other Civil Engineering courses, except that they omit Mineralogy or Shop Practice, and add four units elective in the Sophomore year. At the beginning of the Junior year, the general course in Civil Engineering divides into three separate branches, one of which the student must choose,-namely (1) Railroad Engineering, (2) Sanitary Engineering, and (3) Irrigation Engineering.
