It should be noted: (a) that although a total of not more than 450 hours of prepared work is required, a part of the work in English should be given in each of the four years of the preparatory school; (b) that the division of this work between literature and composition is left to the judgment of the individual preparatory school; (c) that no specific reading is required. For the convenience of teachers, however, both the "general list" and the "intensive list" of English classics are subjoined, and it is presumed that teachers will be governed largely by these lists; (d) that the University reserves the right to withdraw one or more units of credit from students whose work in English in the Junior Colleges is found to be seriously defective; (e) that candidates whose credentials show work in English beyond the requirements specified above may be exempted from Junior College course 1.

MATHEMATICS

The following statements of admission units in Mathematics are to be understood as specifying topics to be covered but not the order or relations in which these topics are to be studied. The University will accept work in which arithmetic, algebra, and geometry are treated simultaneously as phases of one subject —mathematics-and will give credit for any of the following admission units whose topics have all been satisfactorily covered, irrespective of the order in which this has been done, but a full year's work in mathematics will be required for each unit credited.

1a. Algebra, first course, covering literal notation; the four fundamental operations for rational algebraic expressions; factoring; determination of highest common factor and lowest common multiple by factoring; fractions (including simple complex fractions and the elements of ratio, proportion, and variation); linear equations, both numerical and literal, containing one or more unknowns; problems leading to linear equations, square root and radicals as needed in numerical quadratic equations; numerical quadratic equations and problems leading to such equations.

The pupils should be required throughout the course to solve numerous problems which involve putting into equations data and conditions given in words. Many of these problems should be chosen from mensuration, from physics, and from practical life. The treatment should be elementary and concrete, with free use of graphic methods, but should result in definite comprehension and formulation of the algebraic relations involved. 1 unit.

1b. Algebra, second course, including a review of the work of the first course; radicals; exponents, including the fractional and the negative; extraction of the square root of numbers and of polynomials; imaginary and complex numbers; general solution of quadratic equations with one unknown, applied to literal as well as numerical coefficients; theory of the quadratic equation with one unknown, including the discriminant and the relation between the roots and the coefficients; simple cases of equations or systems of equations with one or more unknowns that can be solved by the methods of linear or quadratic equations; problems leading to quadratic equations; ratio, proportion, and variation; the binomial formula for positive integral exponents.

Algebra 16 should not be given earlier than the third school year. Work of the first course will not satisfy the requirements of the second course. If Algebra 16 is not offered for admission, it becomes prerequisite for further work in mathematics in college.

All the general directions concerning the first course apply also to the second course, and in addition it may be said that the latter, while proceeding from the

particular to the general, from the concrete to the abstract, and making considerable use of graphic methods and illustrations, especially in connection with the solution of single quadratic equations and of systems of equations and in the study of variation, should also give emphasis to the clear statement and formal demonstration of general results. unit.

2. Plane Geometry, covering the usual theorems and constructions of good textbooks, including the general properties of rectilinear figures; the circle and the measurement of angles; similar polygons; areas; regular polygons and the measurement of the circle. 1 unit.

3. Solid Geometry, covering the usual theorems and constructions of good textbooks and including the relations of planes and lines in space; the properties and measurement of prisms, pyramids, the regular solids, cylinders, cones, the sphere, and the spherical triangle. unit.

Course 3 must be given in the third or fourth school year, and will not be given credit if taken in the same school year with course 2. In both 2 and 3 emphasis should be laid on the original demonstration of theorems and the original solution of problems. Applications should be made to geometric problems of practical life. Each of these courses should from time to time treat geometric problems by such algebraic methods as are familiar to the pupil. While accuracy of deductive reasoning and clearness of statement are of prime importance in geometry, the path from the particular to the general, from the concrete to the abstract, may be followed readily and with as much profit in this subject as in algebra. Concrete and inductive approach to abstract and deductive demonstration will be found valuable throughout the work.

4. Advanced Arithmetic, including accounting, commercial arithmetic, and allied topics. This must be given as an advanced course and should not precede courses la and 2. unit.

5. Plane Trigonometry, including the solution of right and oblique triangles, the elementary relation of the trigonometric functions, the use of logarithms, with many practical applications.unit.

ASTRONOMY

The requirements in Astronomy call for a good knowledge of the fundamental facts and principles of astronomy, including the more recent developments in the direction of spectroscopy and photography.unit.

PHYSICS

In order to obtain entrance credit in Physics the applicant must have completed a course in the elements of physics which is equivalent to not less than 150 hours of assigned work. Not less than one-third of the total assignment must have been devoted to laboratory work, two hours of laboratory work being counted as one hour of assignment.

A notebook containing the record of at least 35 laboratory experiments equivalent to those found in the "University of Chicago Recommended List of 50 Laboratory Experiments in Physics for Secondary Schools" is a part of the requirement. 1 unit.

CHEMISTRY

A course in elementary Chemistry as taught in the better class of high and preparatory schools, covering thirty-five to forty weeks, four to five days per week, one-third to one-half of the total assignment being devoted to laboratory work, will afford the necessary preparation. Two hours of laboratory work are reckoned as equivalent to one hour of assignment.

Remsen's, Torrey's, Hessler and Smith's, Newell's, Young's, Linebarger's, and Storer and Lindsay's Elementary Chemistries are suitable textbooks for preparation. Smith & Hall's Teaching of Chemistry and Physics (Longmans) discusses fully the material and methods approved by the Department. The standard of attainment must be to fit for admission to the special college course in general chemistry (2S) to which this unit is prerequisite. 1 unit.

GEOLOGY

1. Elementary Physiography.-The requirement for credit in this course includes: (a) a knowledge of the general facts concerning atmospheric movements, precipitation, temperature, etc., together with the principles governing them; (b) an elementary knowledge of the sea, including the general facts concerning its movements and their causes; and (c) a general knowledge of the earth's features and their mode of origin. unit.

2. Advanced Physiography.-For this course more detailed knowledge will be required concerning the topics named above. In addition, the candidate should be familiar with the principles of climatology, the modern doctrines concerning the evolution and history of geographic features, and the distribution of life and its relations to surface conditions. unit.

A unit's credit will be given those who present both 1 and 2. Thorough courses based on such texts as those of Salisbury (Physiography, Briefer Course), Gilbert and Brigham, Dryer, or Davis meet the requirement for 1 and 2.

3. Geology. The requirement for admission embraces the elementary facts of petrographic, structural, dynamic, and historic geology. Familiarity with the modes of action of geologic agents and clear views of the progress and relations of geological events are essential. A thorough course based on such a book as Blackwelder & Barrows' Elements of Geology meets the requirement. unit. 1 and 2, or 1 and 3, may be offered as the second unit of science recommended to candidates for the College of Science.

GEOGRAPHY

Commercial Geography.-For admission credit, a half-year's high-school work should be offered, based upon such texts as Brigham or Adams. This work should cover the general conditions of commerce, the chief commodities of commerce, and the leading commercial countries, with emphasis on the United States. unit.

GENERAL BIOLOGY

The candidate applying for admission credit in General Biology will be required: (a) To submit to the Examiner a notebook consisting of drawings and descriptions of the animals and plants studied and statements of experiments performed (see statement concerning notebook under Physics, above). It is recommended that studies of at least fifteen principal forms be undertaken. These studies may be largely such as do not demand the use of a compound microscope. Attention should be given chiefly to those organisms that can be studied in a living condition. (b) To demonstrate in the college laboratory, under the supervision of college officers, that he possesses some power to observe accurately and intelligently. More stress will be laid on correct observation and on the careful record thereof than upon technical terms. (c) To answer in writing a few general questions on the physiology of plants and lower animals as well as questions on familiar forms, such as the perch, crayfish, grasshopper, moss, fern, some common type of flowering plant, etc. 1 unit.

ZOOLOGY

For admission credit in Zoology, the general character of the work required will be the same as that indicated under General Biology; but in this case the number of animals studied should be increased when 1 unit is sought.

It is recommended that attention be equally divided between (a) natural history and physiology and (b) structure and classification. However, work with primary emphasis on any phase of zoology will be accepted. The submission of a notebook is required of all candidates for examination. or 1 unit.

BOTANY

If admission credit in Botany is sought, the preparatory work should consist of the study of types from all the chief divisions of the plant kingdom, including a training in the fundamental principles of morphology, physiology, ecology, and

classification. In every case laboratory notebooks (see statement concerning notebook under Physics, above) should be kept and submitted to the Examiner, if examination is required. or 1 unit.

NOTE. Two units of credit may be obtained in Zoology and Botany; but a unit's credit will not be given for either of these subjects if credit is received for General Biology. Any one of these three subjects may be offered as the second unit of science recommended to candidates for the College of Science.

PHYSIOLOGY

The student is expected to be familiar with the facts given in Huxley's Textbook of Physiology (revised) or Martin's Human Body (briefer course). unit.

DRAWING AND SHOP WORK

Admission credit not to exceed five units may be given in Drawing and Shop Work, provided the high school from which the candidate comes accepts five units in these subjects for its diploma. Each unit must represent not less than 250 hours of work. The University reserves the right to give an examination to test the applicant's standard of attainment in these subjects.
