The professors of the University are often called on for lectures and addresses before schools, clubs, and teachers' institutes, and will be glad to meet such demands as far as their time permits. To make arrangements for such work, address the individual professors or the President of the University.

CORRESPONDENCE TEACHING DEPARTMENT.

In addition to the regular University Extension work, a Correspondence Teaching Department has been established by the University. This work is not intended to be a substitute for class work, but rather to offer to all interested in educational work an opportunity to review studies previously pur

sued or to take preliminary studies preparatory to completing the course at the University.

The lecture courses cannot reach all, since the scattered population of the State and the expense of travel render the formation of Extension Centers impossible in many places. The University of Wyoming, therefore, offers to teach the following studies by correspondence as nearly free as possible, to anyone willing and competent to do good work. One student alone can take one or more studies, but if several in the same locality unite to take the same course, the effectiveness and interest are usually increased.

RULES FOR CORRESPONDENCE TEACHING.

A unit course in correspondence teaching is equivalent to one term study of resident work, and will be recommended as such toward any degree offered by the University. However, not more than half of the work required for a degree may be taken by correspondence.

Each unit course includes not fewer than ten recitations from the student, and may include as many more as the instructor considers necessary. The recitations may be answers to questions, translations, problems, essays, collections, experiments, or other exercises, according to the subject taken. The recitations will be carefully corrected and graded by the instructor and returned to the student. Recitations will be sent in every two weeks unless other special arrangements be made with the instructor.

When a student has completed a course, a set of examination papers will be sent to some responsible person in his vicinity, in whose presence the student will take the examination, and who will return the student's work to the University. If the examination is satisfactory, the student will be given a certificate to that effect. The grade for the course will be

determined largely by the examination.

A fee of five dollars for each course is paid to the instructor. In case the student fails to answer letters for six weeks, he will be considered to have discontinued the course and another fee will be required if at any time he wishes to continue. The cost of books or apparatus required by the student depends upon the course and can be ascertained by writing to the instructor in charge.

These courses are open to anyone in Wyoming qualified to do the work required. Courses may begin at any time in the year at the convenience of the instructor and the student. Instructors may give courses not mentioned below or may refuse to begin a course whenever their other duties do not allow them time for correspondence teaching.

Specimens of plants, insects, and minerals sent to the University will be named, and, as far as possible, questions asked in regard to them will be answered.

UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS.

MATRICULATION AND DISCIPLINE.

Each student, upon entering, must present his credentials to the Committee on Admission and sign his name in the matriculation book.

Each student is thereupon assigned by the President to a member of the Faculty, who is to act as his special adviser. The student must obtain from this adviser the endorsement of his choice of studies, or any subsequent alteration therein, and of any special action desired from the Faculty, before its submission to that body. Written notice of the choice of studies must, at the beginning of each term, be obtained from the special adviser and be presented to the instructors in the subject chosen before the student can be enrolled in these subjects. All students who have one term of unfinished work in the preparatory department are due in the study hall unless specially excused by the principal.

The Faculty requires good conduct and faithful work. They rely upon the honor and moral sense of the students to secure these ends. If these fail, the means are not wanting to correct the evil.

Any student who is idle, dissipated, disorderly in conduct, or frequents disreputable places, or who for any reason is a detriment to the institution, will be liable to suspension or expulsion.

The rules of the Faculty provide for prompt correspondence with the parent or guardian of each student in any case requiring it. Unexcused absence and serious deficiency in scholarship receive immediate attention.
