CURRICULA OF THE COLLEGES OF

APPLIED SCIENCE.

Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, and Civil Engineering. The special features of the curricula are as follows: First, a minimum fouryear course of fifteen units per week, exclusive of Physical Culture and Military Exercises, has been provided. Including the time given to preparation of studies, this course requires of the student an average of forty-five hours per week. In this minimum course only such studies are included as are essential to professional training. Secondly, but few studies are pursued at the same time, and they are as nearly as possible interdependent. Thirdly, the relation of practical application to theory is emphasized. Instruction is from the beginning illustrated by exercises in the laboratory, the draughting-room, and the field. Fourthly, an effort is made to utilize the vacations of students for further application of their knowledge in the direction of future professional pursuits. For this purpose summer schools in Surveying, Practical Mining, Mechanical Practice, and Astronomy have been organized. Lastly, in addition to the minimum of fifteen units per week, students without conditions are allowed to elect four units per week from any of the courses given in the University for which they have the necessary preparation. In general, students are advised to choose these additional units of study from courses in Modern Language and Literature, History and Political Economy. But they may, if they so desire, pursue special lines of technical study in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Mineralogy, Petrography, Mechanics, Surveying, Electricity, Mining, and Metallurgy, in addition to the minimum requirements prescribed in the respective colleges.

Colleges of Agriculture and Chemistry. The curricula are organized upon a basis somewhat similar to that of the Colleges of General Culture, but the Prescribed Studies are determined with a view to the technical as well as the general training of the student, and the Group or Cognate Elective includes in proper proportion advanced courses characteristic of the college. In the College of Chemistry, about one half of the course is prescribed, one quarter of

the course consists of Free Electives, and one quarter of Group Electives, but the greater part of the Group Elective must be in Chemistry. The remainder of the Group Elective may be chosen from allied subjects. In the College of Agriculture about two thirds of the course is prescribed in preliminary, liberal, and technical studies. The remainder consists of Free Electives and electives consisting of agriculture and cognate studies.

UNDERGRADUATE COURSE.

The requirements for admission to this college are: (1) English, (3) Algebra, (4) Geometry, (5) Government of the United States, (11) Physics; either (6) Latin, or (8) Greek, or (14) English, or (15) French or German; (126) Chemistry; and one of the other main subdivisions (a, c, or d,) of Subject 12. Furthermore, an equivalent in Entomology will be accepted in lieu of Zoology (12d).

Preparation in the branches of Natural Science named above is valuable, not so much for the actual knowledge of facts it brings, as for the habit of accurate observation it should enforce. Hence, instruction with objective demonstration by competent teachers is strongly recommended. Its proper conduct in the various branches is indicated on page 57. Previous experience of farm life and work is, of course, a valuable adjunct.

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.

Special Students. Students in Agriculture not desiring to take the full course, nor to receive a diploma, may be admitted to special or limited courses for a longer or shorter period, and may attend only special lectures, recitations, and practical exercises, according to their requirements, so long as they maintain a good standing in their studies and general conduct. Persons desiring to enter as Special Students or as Limited Students are advised to correspond with the Professor of Agriculture with regard to the needful preparation for the subjects they desire to take.

To students unable to give more than two years to their studies, the following course is suggested:
