REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. The following are the subjects in which those who wish to enter the Freshman Class of the Scientific Department are examined. Since all are such as can be acquired in our best common schools, it is insisted that the preparation in them shall be thorough and complete. 1. Mathematics. ARITHMETIC.-Fundamental Operations; Common and Decimal Fractions; Denominate Numbers, including the Metric System; Percentage, including Interest and Discount; Proportion; Square and Cube Root. In preparing the student for this course, it is recommended that he be drilled thoroughly in Arithmetic, as a clear understanding of its simple elementary and practical principles is essential to a good Mathe matician. ALGEBRA through Arithmetic, Geometric and Harmonic Progressions, or the first seventeen chapters of Bowser's College Algebra. His preparation in Algebra should be very thorough. In addition to understanding the PRINCIPLES of the science he must fix them in his memory, and learn their bearing and utility, and for this reason he should pay great attention to the solution of practical examples. What is needed is ability to solve ordinary examples with facility and to explain them thoroughly. Attention is specially called to the solution of Simultaneous Quadratic Equations, and of Equations of Higher Degrees than the Second, which may be reduced to the quadratic form, and then solved by the methods of solving quadratics. The student should form the habit of arranging his work, whether on the blackboard or on paper, in a neat and orderly manner. GEOMETRY.-The whole of Plane and Solid Geometry. 2. The English Branches. ENGLISH GRAMMAR-including Spelling. A short English Essay is also required, to be written at the examination, on some theme drawn from books announced in advance; the essay to be correct in spelling, punctuation, division into paragraphs, grammar and expression. In June and September, 1895, the themes will be drawn from these books, which all students who apply for admission then should have read carefully: Shakespeare's Macbeth and Twelfth Night; Milton's L'Allegro and Il Penseroso; the Sir Roger de Coverley Papers in The Spectator; Macaulay's Essays on Milton and Addison; Irving's Sketch Book; Longfellow's Evangeline; Scott's The Abbot. In 1896, students should be familiar with Shakespeare's Twelfth Night; the Sir Roger de Coverley Papers in The Spectator; Irving's Sketch Book; Scott's The Abbot; Webster's First Bunker Hill Oration; Macaulay's Essay on Milton; Longfellow's Evangeline. DESCRIPTIVE GEOGRAPHY. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY. HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.-Johnston's History of the United States, or its equivalent. Students often lack thorough or recent preparation in this subject. A more accurate knowledge of American History has become necessary as preliminary to the systematic instruction now given on the duties and relations of American citizenship. 3. Science. PHYSICS.-Students are required to show satisfactory acquaintance with Wells' or Cooley's Natural Philosophy, or Peck's Ganot's Physics. CHEMISTRY.-Such knowledge of Chemistry as may be obtained from a thorough study of Remsen's, Cooley's or Steele's Chemistry complete. Remsen's Elements of Chemistry is recommended, because Remsen's text-books are used during the course. 4. COURSES OF STUDY. During the first year the studies of the full courses are the same, and are designed to furnish a suitable introduction to the pursuit of the higher branches in either course. The elements of Agriculture, of Biology and of Botany are taught during the first, second and third terms respectively. Mathematics (Algebra, Trigonometry and Surveying), Draughting, English and French are taught throughout the year. At the end of the first year, students elect to pursue one of the full courses, and for the remaining three years their studies are directed with particular reference to the choice made. Some studies which go to the equipment of the intelligent citizen, whatever his occupation, such as History, English Literature, Political Economy, Practical Ethics, Astronomy and others, are interspersed throughout the entire four years, in order that students may not only acquire a thorough preparation for their special pursuits in life, but may at the same time receive a liberal training which will fit them to discharge wisely and usefully the duties of good citizenship. Five distinct courses of study are included in the schedule which follows: In the following schedule the Arabic numerals in light-faced type indicate the number of morning hours each week; those in bold-faced type the number of afternoon hours. Exercises throughout the four years in Composition, Declamation and Extempore Speaking. Bible Class (optional) and Sermon each Sunday morning, Drill twice a week. FRESHMAN CLASS.
