MATRICULATION.

To be admitted into the University the applicant must give satisfactory evidence of good moral character, and that his attainments are such as to enable him to prosecute with advantage the prescribed course of study. If he has been a member of any other incorporated Institution he must bring with him a Certificate of Dismission.

The applicant must present himself at the opening of the Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, to the President, and state the course which he desires to pursue. He will then be presented with a copy of the Laws for the government of the University, and will be referred to the respective Professors of the branches of study which he desires to pursue, and by them he will be examined as to his qualification to enter upon the study of those branches. He will also be referred to the Treasurer, with whom he will settle for the expenses of the Term. Upon presenting the Treasurer's receipt to the President, he will be required to sign a declaration that it is his intention strictly to conform to all the Laws of the University until he shall be regularly dismissed.

REGULATIONS.

1. The regular classes are formed in this as in the Collegiate Department—at the beginning of the, Term—AND IT IS OF THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE, THAT STUDENTS ENTER AT THAT TIME, AND CONTINUE REGULARLY UNTIL THE CLOSE OF THE TERM. Those who enter late will often be required to join a lower Class than they would have done, if they had entered at the opening of the Term, as extra Classes cannot be formed in the midst of the Term for the accommodation of such Students.

2. There will be a Public Examination of the Students in this Department, at the close of each Term.

3. At the completion of the course of Preparatory Studies, the Students will be subjected to a Written Examination.

COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT.

In this Department each Student is allowed entire freedom in the selection of the Schools which he desires to attend. A regular course is, nevertheless, prescribed by the Faculty for all candidates for the Degrees Ph. B., A. B. and A. M. No Student will be received into the Literary or Scientific Schools who has not a practical knowledge of the English language and Composition, as taught in the Preparatory Department, except on condition of his pursuing the English course of that Department in connection with his Collegiate Studies.

A Student is not allowed to leave any School which he may have entered, without the consent of the Faculty.

I. SCHOOL OF ANCIENT LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE.

To enter this School will be required an accurate knowledge of the Classical Studies pursued in the Preparatory Department, or such knowledge, at least, of the Latin and Greek languages, with Geography, History and Mythology, as, upon examination, shall be found to be equivalent. Where a deficiency, however, can be made up by reviewing a study in the Preparatory Department, the applicant will be admitted upon this condition.

In this School there are three classes: Junior, Intermediate and Senior.

JUNIOR CLASS.

FALL TERM.—In Latin: Syntax of Andrews' and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, compared with the Syntax of Kuhner's and Zumpt's Latin Grammars; in pursuing which, not the order of these authors, in their arrangement of topics, is observed, but the analytical method of Harkness in his Second Latin Book—that is, the order of analysis of the Latin sentence. According to this method a complete course of Latin syntax is developed during the scholastic year.

Arnold's Latin Prose Composition begun; Latin Prosody.

Along with these studies, portions of the following Latin works are read: Cicero's Orations and Livy.

Bojesen's Roman Antiquities, accompanied with a brief view of Roman History.

In Greek: Kuhner's Larger Grammar—Syntax of the simple sentence.

As in Latin, so here, a complete course of Syntax is developed during the scholastic year; in accomplishing which, a close comparison is made between the Syntax of the two languages.

Portions of the following Greek books are read: Xenophon's Memorabilia and Herodotous.

Bojesen's Grecian Antiquities, accompanied with a brief view of Grecian History.

Brown's Grecian Literature, through the accounts of Æschylus, Sophocles and Euripides.

SPRING TERM.—In Latin: Syntactical Exercises of the Fall Term continued and completed; Arnold's Latin Prose Composition continued; selections from the Odes and Epodes of Horace are read.

Bojesen's Roman Antiquities, with a brief view of Roman History.

In Greek: Kuhner's Larger Grammar; Syntax of the Compound Sentence; Arnold's Greek Prose Composition begun; Greek Prosody, with the reading of a few books of Homer's Iliad.

Browne's Grecian Literature completed.

INTERMEDIATE CLASS.

FALL TERM.—In Latin: Arnold's Latin Prose Composition completed; Latin Prosody reviewed, with Lectures upon the Principles and Doctrines of Etymology, and upon the Order and Structure of the Language.

With these Studies, portions of the following Latin works are road: Cicero de Oratore and Tacitus.

Browne's Roman Literature, through the account of Virgil.

In Greek: Arnold's Greek Prose Composition completed; Greek Prosody reviewed; with Lectures upon the Etymology, Order and Structure of the Language, as upon the Latin; Demosthenes on the Crown.

SPRING TERM.—In Latin: Lectures upon the Philosophy of the Language continued, with exercises in translating Greek into Latin.

Satires and Epistles of Horace.

Browne's Roman Literature completed.

In Greek: Arnold's Second Greek Prose Composition (on the particles) begun; accompanied with the study of Dr. Harrison's recent work on the Greek particles, and (continued) Lectures on the Philosophy of the Language; Thucydides.

SENIOR CLASS.

FALL TERM.—In Latin. Horace's Art of Poetry; to be accompanied by a weekly Composition in Latin on themes assigned.

In Greek: The Antigone or Œdipus Tyrannus of Sophocles, with an Analysis of the various kinds of Greek verse; Arnold's Second Greek Prose Composition (on the particles) completed.

Keightley's larger work on the Mythology of Ancient Greece and Italy begun.

SPRING TERM.—In Latin: Selections from Juvenal and Persius, and also from Cicero's Ethical Works; with exercises in Latin Composition, and in reading and analyzing Latin at sight.

In Greek: The Antigone or OEdipus Tyrannus of Sophocles completed, with weekly exercises in Greek Composition on themes assigned, and also in translating Greek into Latin and Latin into Greek.

Keightley's larger work on the Mythology of Ancient Greece and Italy completed; also, Henry's History of Philosophy, through the second period and a portion of the third.

With the reading of the various Latin and Greek authors above specified, the Ollendorff method of instruction, which requires an extensive memorizing of words, phrases and idiomatic expressions, is employed more or less throughout the Course, including the course in the Preparatory Department, where the foundation for it is laid. To this method of instruction are united, as already intimated, constant analyses and comparisons of words, phrases, idioms and whole sentences in their structure, so as to develop, as far as possible, the different genius and spirit of the two languages.

The objects aimed at throughout the course are principally these: To educate the mind by developing the power of independent thought and just criticism; to lay the foundation of thorough scholarship in our own language; and to impart such a knowledge of the Latin and Greek, that the Student may be enabled afterwards to pursue the study of Latin and Greek authors with profit and pleasure, so that the refining and elevating influences of the literature of these incomparable languages may not end with college life, but may continue and increase with the increase of years.

The above Course is required for the Degree of “Proficient” in this School.

For the Degree of “Master” in this School, there is required (in addition to the preceding Course) one year in a Normal Class, in the more thorough prosecution of the studies of the School.

II. SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS AND MECHANICAL PHILOSOPHY.

To enter this School there will be required a thorough knowledge of Arithmetic, of Algebra, through equations of the second degree, and t`hree books of Geometry.

JUNIOR CLASS.

FALL TERM.—Synthetic Geometry, plane and solid; geometrical Analysis and construction of problems.

SPRING TERM.—Plane and Spherical Trigonometry: Representation and measures of angles; theory of sines, cosines, tangents, cotangents, secants, cosecants and versed sines of angles; establishment of a table of general formulæ of trigonometrical functions for future reference; construction of numerical tables of trigonometrical functions; solutions of triangles, right and oblique; mensuration; surveying, geodesy and navigation.

The study of the Ancient Geometry—that most excellent instrument of intellectual culture—is here prosecuted to a considerable extent. The logical and inventive powers of the Student are severely tasked by the daily analysis of the demonstrations of the text, but more particularly by frequent exercises in EXTRA theorems and in the geometrical analysis and construction of problems, of which original solutions and demonstrations are presented by him, either in writing or orally at the board.

The studies of this year are well calculated to call forth and to invigorate the latent faculties of the mind, and to prepare the Student either for the more abstruse and difficult studies of his University career, or for any of the active pursuits of life.

INTERMEDIATE CLASS.

FALL TERM.—Descriptive Geometry: Graphical problems of the right line and plane; surfaces of single curvature, their tangent and normal planes; intersections of surfaces, and curves of double curvature; surfaces of double curvature, and ruled surfaces.

The more difficult subjects in the theory of Algebra and Arithmetic have been postponed to this part of the Course, in order that the Student may have the advantage of mature years and previous culture in investigating subjects of so much importance, either in themselves considered, or in reference to the higher analysis of the succeeding year.

SENIOR CLASS.

FALL TERM.—Analytical Geometry: Of points and right lines in a plane; points and lines in space; transformation of co-ordinates; equations of the plane, cylinder and cone; sections of the cylinder and cone; properties of the parabola, ellipse and hyperbola; discussion of the general equation of the second degree between two variables; problems of geometrical loci; surfaces of the second order, their diametral, tangent and normal planes.

V. SCHOOL OF LOGIC, RHETORIC AND THE EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY. JUNIOR CLASS.

In the Junior Class of this School is pursued the study of Rhetoric as it unfolds the general principles and rules of Composition. An acquaintance with the Grammar of the English Language is taken for granted, but reference is had to violations of grammar most likely to occur. The rules for Punctuation are reduced to a more complete system than in grammatical treatises, and the Figures of Grammar more particularly explained. The nature and use of Rhetorical Figures; the different varieties of Style —upon what dependent—to what occasions appropriate; Criticism; Versification. These and kindred topics are studied along with practical exercises in Composing.

INTERMEDIATE CLASS.

In this Class Logic is taught as the science and the art of reasoning. The study embraces the true theory of reasoning as resting upon a single principle; the capability of stating every valid argument in syllogistic form; analysis of syllogism; its constituent elements combined according to various laws; mood and figure; reduction of categoricals; modals and hypotheticals (conditionals and disjunctives); the dilemma; reduction of hypotheticals; an examination and classification of fallacies, or the various modes in which the particular laws of syllogism, and through them the general principles of reasoning are violated in apparent arguments, or arguments in which ambiguity of terms leads to unsound conclusions, or an unduly assumed promise is used, or an irrelevant conclusion substituted for the proper one.

The study of Rhetoric is resumed. It is here regarded with special reference to discourse intended for conviction and persuasion. The different kinds of argument are explained, and the most effective order of arrangement considered. The influencing of the will; the feelings proper to be addressed; the means of exciting them or of removing their opposites; and the qualities of style, as appropriate to these ends, are investigated.

Regular exercises in Public Speaking are had, with special reference to the cultivation of a natural manner, and constant practice in Composition.

REMARKS.

The Schools are so arranged as to enable the Student to pursue, to the best advantage, any particular Course which he may select, and to whatever extent he may desire.

No limit of time is fixed for completing a course of study. The time allotted to each Course depends upon the nature and extent of the Course, and the diligence and success with which it is pursued.

In each of the Schools instruction is communicated by Lectures, with or without the use of Text Books, according to the nature of the science and the attainments of the Class.

The Examinations are of two kinds, to wit: I. DAILY EXAMINATIONS OF THE CLASSES. II. WRITTEN EXAMINATIONS FOR HONORS.

I. DAILY EXAMINATIONS.

The Daily Examinations are searching and thorough, and the success of the Student is noted by the Professor, according to a certain numerical rule, and a report is sent monthly to the parent or guardian of the Student. This record will be preserved in the archives of the University, and it may, to some extent, determine the award of Honors.

II. WRITTEN EXAMINATIONS.

1. Each Class is subjected to a Written Examination, which will commence as many days previous to the close of the Term as the Faculty may deem necessary to complete the Examinations.

2. The President appoints, for the Examination of each School, a Committee, consisting of the Professor of that School and two other Professors, who, together with a Committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, conduct the Examination.

3. The Professor of the School prepares a series of questions upon the studies which have been pursued during the Term immediately preceding; and to each of these he affixes a numerical value according to its relative difficulty. The list thus prepared is submitted to the Committee for their approval.

4. At the time appointed, the Class take their places in the Lecture Room, and in the presence of the Committee the questions are then, for the first time, presented to the Class; and at least two members of the Committee are present during the whole of the Examination.

5. Each Student is required to prepare, in writing, answers to all the questions, so far as he is able, and, at the expiration of the time allotted to the Examination, to hand in his answers, with a certificate that he has received no assistance from any source, except such as it may have been necessary for a Professor to give, in the presence of the Committee.

6. No conversation whatever is allowed between Students during this Examination; and a deduction will be made from the standing of any Student who shall violate this rule.

7. The Professor examines the answers, notes the errors, and affixes to each answer a numerical value not exceeding the value affixed to the corresponding question. A report of the success of each Student, together with his answers, is then submitted to the Committee for their approval.

8. The Students are then arranged into four separate divisions, according to the merit of their Examinations, as determined by the following method: The numerical values attached to each of the questions are added together, and also the values of the answers of each Student. If the latter number amount to three-fourths of the former, the Student is ranked in the first division; if it be less than three-fourths, and as much as one-half, in the second; if it be less than one-half; and as much as one-fourth, in the third if less than one-fourth, in the fourth division.

9. The Faculty are authorized to confer on those who attain to the first division at this Examinaiion a Certificate of Distinction.

10. If a Student shall rank in the fourth division in several or all of his studies, he will be liable to any of the minor punishments of the University.

11. A report of the success of each Student at these Examinations will be sent to his parent or guardian; and any one who shall unnecessarily absent himself, shall not be entitled to an honorable dismission.

DEGREES AND DISTINCTIONS.

The Distinctions and Degrees in course of this University, are:

1. A CERTIFICATE OF DISTINCTION in each Class, conferred upon those who attain the first division of the Written Examination.

2. A DEGREE OF PROFICIENT in each School, conferred upon such Students as shall have merited a Certificate of Distinction in all the studies of that School which have been specified as required for this Degree.

3. The DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF PHILOSOPHY, conferred upon such as shall have received the degree of Proficient in all the Schools of the University except that of Ancient Languages, and shall have studied the French or German Language two years. But the successful prosecution of the Ancient Languages two years, in the Collegiate Department, will be regarded as equivalent to two years in any other study.

4. The DEGREE OF GRADUATE, with the title of BACHELOR OF ARTS, conferred upon such as shall have received the Degree of Proficient in at least four Schools, and shall have ranked as high as the second division at all of the Written Examinations of the remaining two Schools; or upon such as shall have received the Degree of Proficient in five Schools, and shall have diligently prosecuted the studies of the remaining School two years.

5. The DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS, conferred upon such is shall have received the Degree of Proficient in all of the Schools, including the Course of Political Science and one Modern Language.
