Applicants may matriculate in these colleges not later than the academic year 1906-1907 by offering Subjects A, and 1 to 11 inclusive.

*The University, through its Committee on the Examination of Schools, offers its services to teachers and school authorities in giving such information as may be desired concerning the entrance requirements, and in aiding in the readjustment of school curricula wherever this may be found necessary. Arrangements may be made for personal conferences to this general end. Letters of inquiry may be addressed to the head of the department concerned, or to the Recorder of the Faculties.

cants for admission to the College of Commerce. Until further notice, applicants who intend to pursue the three-year medical preparatory course in the College of Natural Sciences are required to offer subjects A, 1 to 7 inclusive, 11, 12a or 12c or 12d, 12b, and 14.

GROUP III. Admitting to the Colleges of Agriculture and Chemistry. Subjects A, 1 to 5 inclusive, 6 or 8 or 14 or 15a2 or 15b2, 11, 12a or 12c or 12d or 12e, and 12b.

Admitting to the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, and Civil Engineering.-Subjects A, 1 to 5 inclusive, 6 or 8 or 14 or 15a2 or 15b2, 11, 12a', 12a2, 12b, and 16.

Beginning in August, 1905, there will be required for the Colleges of Mechanics, Mining, and Civil Engineering, Geometrical Drawing, Subject 17, and two subjects from the list: Latin 6, Greek 8, English 14, French 15a2, German 156, of which one must be French 15a2 or German 1562.

For a Course at Large, any one of the groups required for admission to a regular course, as the applicant may elect.

For a Special Course, the applicant will be required to pass such examinations as the officers in charge of the studies intended may deem requisite to establish his ability and fitness. Applicants for this status must ordinarily be at least twenty-one years of age; but actual experience in teaching, or actual practice of crafts underlying the technical studies to be pursued, may, in certain cases, be accepted as making good a deficiency in age. Applicants will not usually be admitted directly from the secondary schools to the status of special student. For a special course in the College of Letters, of Social Sciences, of Natural Sciences, or of Commerce, an examination in Oral and Written Expression (Subject A) is required of all applicants, except holders of teachers' certificates. Furthermore, special students intending to take courses in the Department of English will be expected to pass the regular entrance examinations in Subjects 1 and 14 at the usual time and place. Reasonable substitutions for the particular masterpieces prescribed will be allowed, but these should be arranged in advance. For the conditions under which special students may be admitted to the College of Agriculture, see under College of Agriculture.

Beginning August, 1902, applicants for admission as special students in Mechanics, Mining, and Civil Engineering must take examination in A, or present acceptable credentials covering that subject. Those who fail to pass must, if admitted to the University, take such courses in English Composition as shall be prescribed by the department of English for students with matriculation deficiency in Subject A.

The administration of special students is in the hands of the Committee on Special Students. Each applicant for admission to special status is assigned to a member of the committee who will act as the applicant's adviser and will supervise his studies in case he is admitted to the University. On Registration Day, at the beginning of every half-year, each special student must submit to his adviser his choice of studies for the half-year ensuing.

For a Limited Course, Subjects A, 3 or 4, and at least three other subjects from the general list, aggregating no less than four units. But the right is reserved to reject any candidate on account of evident unfitness. Beginning in the academic year 1902-1903, the requirements for admission to a limited course will be the same as the requirements for admission to a regular course.

General List of Preparatory Subjects.

NOTE. The normal amount of work represented by the preparatory subjects (excepting Subject A) is specified quantitatively, the unit being five recitations a week for one school year. It is understood that subjects recognized by the University as alternative will be adjusted to equivalence in this respect. Laboratory hours not requiring preparation are to be estimated at a lower rate than recitations.

While this valuation is made in terms of a four-year course for high schools, it does not exclude a pro rata reduction in subjects extending through more than one year, in order to accommodate it to a three-year course.

The valuation of the subjects is as follows:*

*No subject may be subdivided for purposes of credit unless such subdivision is -expressly provided for in this statement of valuation.

A. Oral and Written Expression.

Its aim is to secure to the student the ability to use his mother-tongue correctly, clearly, and pertinently on all lines upon which his thought is exercised.

A written test in this subject is required of all applicants for the status of Special Student in the Colleges of Letters, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Commerce, excepting only those who hold. teachers' certificates.
