UNDERGRADUATE COURSE. The requirements for admission to the college are: (1) English, (3) Algebra, (4) Geometry, (5) Government of the United States, (6) and (7) Latin [or, until May, 1899, (15a) French and (156) German]; (11) Physics; (14) English, or (15a) French or (156) German-unless these last have been offered in lieu of (6) and (7); and either (10) and (13) History, or two of the subdivisions of (12), namely, (a) Advanced Mathematics, (b) Chemistry, (c) Botany, (d) Zoölogy. The special feature in the curriculum of this college is the prominence given to the Natural Sciences as elements of culture, and the preparation afforded for a professional career in Science. For details regarding the studies pursued, consult the statements made under the several courses of instruction in this Register and in the Annual Announcement. The requirements for the degree of B.S. consist of one hundred and twentyfive units, distributed as follows: * A. Prescribed Studies.-Sixty-five units, as distributed in the following scheme: Natural Sciences, 26 units-chosen from the general list, exclusive of Chemistry 1. English, 10 units-Course 1 (a) and (b). French or German, 14 units-Courses 1, 2, and 3 in French, or Courses 1 and 2 in German. Mathematics, 10 units-so chosen from Courses 1-8 as to include either Course 1 (a), or Course 1 (b), or Course 8; and Course 2, or Courses 4 and 5; and, if the student has not passed the entrance examination in Solid Geometry, Course 6. Military Science, 5 units-Courses 1 and 2. Students excused from the exercises in Military Science are required to make up the deficiency in hours in other departments of study. B. Group Electives.-Thirty units of advanced studies in one subject, or not more than two cognate subjects, chosen from one of the following groups: 1. Philosophy: either alone or together with one subject from Group 2, 3, or 4. 2. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy. * A unit is a credit for one hour of work per week for one term. 3. Physics, Chemistry, Geology (including Palæontology, Mineralogy, Petrography), the Biological Sciences (including Botany and Zoology). 4. Pedagogy, together with one subject from Group 1, 2, or 3. C. Free Electives.-Thirty units, chosen from the entire list of courses, subject, however, to any sequence of studies required and announced by any department. Fifty units of the Prescribed Studies named above must be completed during the first two years; twelve units of the Natural Sciences may be taken as late as the third year. The choice of Group Electives may be announced at the beginning of any term after sixty units of work have been satisfactorily completed, but not later than the beginning of the Senior year. A statement of the courses permissible for Group Electives is made from year to year in the Announcement of Courses of Instruction. The thirty units of Free Electives may be chosen at any period during the undergraduate course. Regular students are required to take at least fifteen units a term during the first three years, and are required to complete ninety-three units in order to attain Senior standing. Seniors will not be required to take more than twelve units a term, if that minimum will complete the requirement for graduation. In addition to these studies, able-bodied male students are required to take the exercises in Physical Culture during the first two years of residence. CURRICULA OF THE COLLEGES OF APPLIED SCIENCE. The Colleges of Applied Science are the following: The College of Agriculture. The College of Mechanics. The College of Mining. The College of Civil Engineering. The College of Chemistry. During the year 1893-4 an important reorganization of the courses in the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, and Civil Engineering was accomplishedThe entrance requirements were increased (see p. 41). The special features of the present curricula are as follows: First, a minimum four-year 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 drawing-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. In the Colleges of Agriculture and Chemistry, the curricula were, during the year 1893-4, reorganized upon a basis somewhat similar to that of the Colleges of Liberal Culture, but Prescribed Studies are determined with a view to the technical as well as the general training of the student, and Group or Cognate Electives include 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 is distributed among Free Electives and electives consisting of agriculture and cognate studies. COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE. FACULTY. President KELLOGG; Professor STRINGHAM, Mathematics, Dean; Professors GAYLEY, English; GREENE, Botany; HESSE, Hydrodynamics; HILGARD, Agricultural Chemistry; LE CONTE, Geology, Zoology; PAGET, French and Spanish; PUTZKER, German; RISING, Chemistry; SLATE, Physics; SOULE, Civil Engineering; WINN, Military Science; Associate Professors EDWARDS, Mathematics; HASKELL, Mathematics; LAWSON, Mineralogy; WHITING, Physics; WICKSON, Agriculture and Horticulture; Assistant Professors JOHNSON, Biology; KowER, Instrumental Drawing; LOUGHRIDGE, Agricultural Chemistry and Agricultural Geology; O'NEILL, Organic and Physiological Chemistry; SENGER, German; WOODWORTH, Entomology. REGULAR 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 (14) English or (15) French or German; and, until May, 1897, one of the subdivisions of (12)-for which see page 43. But beginning with May, 1897, two of the subdivisions of (12) will be required; namely, Chemistry, and either one topic in Advanced Mathematics, or Botany, or Zoology (or an equivalent in Entomology). 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 pp. 43, 44. 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: Sophomore Year. PHYSICS-General Course. BOTANY-Vegetal Structure and Morphology. Systematic and Economic Botany. ENGLISH-Supplementary Reading and Paragraph Writ ing FRENCH-Introductory Course and Le Roi des Mon-) tagnes. or GERMAN-Introductory Course. MILITARY SCIENCE-Two exercises each week Totals 15 units. 15 units. Junior Year. 1st Term. 2d Term. AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY-General Course... or GERMAN-Schiller.. COGNATE ELECTIVES-Agriculture and one of the following: Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Meteorology, Biological Sciences, and Engineering FREE ELECTIVES MILITARY SCIENCE-Two exercises each week Totals Senior Year.
