these cities consequently afford the most favorable conditions for professional study. No city in the world contains a wider variety of typical social conditions than Chicago, and no city in the United States more accurately epitomizes the general problems of American life. The population engaged in manufacturing, building, packing, and distributing industries exhibits every phase of modern industrial questions in the most representative form. As the greatest railroad center in the world, the city offers unequaled facilities for study of all the problems connected with transportation. The shipping, commerce, banking, journalism, municipal administration, courts, schools, museums, hospitals, churches, social settlements, political organizations, charities, and correctional institutions complete a permanent exhibit of the chief types of modern activity; and they admit advanced students in many ways to opportunities not merely for observation but for practical experience. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION It is impracticable to offer descriptions of all courses available for students in this College. They have access to the resources of the entire University, including the courses in Medicine, the Law School, and the School of Education. In the Colleges, the Departments of Arts, Literature, and Science include work in Philosophy, Psychology, Education, Political Economy, Political Science, History, Sociology, Anthropology, Domestic Science, French, Spanish, Italian, Germanic Languages and Literatures, English Language and Literature, General Literature, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Geography, Botany, Pathology, Hygiene and Bacteriology, Zoology, Physiology, and Public Speaking. THE COLLEGE OF RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE The College of Religious and Social Science was established by the Trustees of the University of Chicago co-ordinate with the (undergraduate) Colleges of Arts, of Literature, of Science, and of Commerce and Administration, but is now administered as a special group within the College of Commerce and Administration. It is under the general supervision of the Faculty of the Divinity School. Courses are given by members of various departments of the University named below. The Dean of the Divinity School is to be consulted by all students of the College prior to their registration with the Dean of the College. The work in the College leads to the degree of Ph.B., and all students are subject to the general regulations of the University governing candidacy for such degree. (3) The College is intended for the following classes of students: (1) Students preparing to be Y.M.C.A. secretaries, or to fill other like positions. (2) Students preparing for the work of medical missionaries, it being presumed that such students will pursue first a course in this College and then a medical course. Students preparing for the Christian ministry who, by reason of age or other circumstances, cannot afford the time for a separate college and Divinity course. (4) Students preparing for various forms of philanthropic work, such as secretaryships of bureaus of associated charities, chaplaincies, or teaching positions in correctional institutions, work as city missionaries, etc. The curriculum of the School is arranged, as far as possible, to accommodate the different classes of students who may be enrolled in its courses. The main difference lies between students who are planning to enter the ministry and those who are intending to enter general religious or philanthropic work. In connection with the Social Science Center at University College, lectures will be given by specialists in social work. Credit will be given in accordance with the University regulations governing such work. ADMISSION Admission as a regular student requires the completion of four years' preparatory work in a secondary school (high school or academy) of high grade. (See pp. 91-108 of this Register for detailed information as to admission requirements.) Admission credit is reckoned in units. Fifteen units, representing the four years' preparatory work, are required for admission. It is recommended that the fifteen units contain one-half unit each of Greek and Roman history, one and one-half additional units of language other than English, one and one-half units of Science.

The courses specified above are taken mainly in the first two years (Junior College). ELECTIVE COURSES In the Senior College the student may elect between the two following curricula: 1.
