COLLEGE OF SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND THE ARTS.

JUNIOR CLASS-History of Civilization, the first term, three times a week. SENIOR CLASS-Option of recent History, consisting of a course of twelve lectures on the more important political events, and the social and scientific progress of the present century.

The Philosophy of History will be discussed in connection with the History of Civilization.

These subjects are open as elective to corresponding classes in the Colleges of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.

XVII. SOCIAL SCIENCE.

MR. FOLWEll.

Political Economy and National Economy are taught to the Seniors in the Third Term chiefly by conversational lectures. These subjects are required of all students of the College of Science, Literature and the Arts, and are elective for those of other Colleges. The library is well supplied with standard authors on Political and Social Science. The aim of the instructor is to present clearly and fairly the history of the science, and to thoroughly inculcate established principles. On disputed topics the conflicting views are brought out with all possible impartiality.

To this department are attached International Law and Civil Government, including the State and National Constitutions--the former an option with the Senior Classes-twice per week for the Third Term; the latter required in the Scientific and Modern Courses of the Senior Year, four times per week for the Second Term. International Law is in charge of the Professor of History.

The subject of Logic, required of all members of the First Class Collegiate Department, has lately been assigned to this department. The instruction will be given by lectures and recitations, accompanied with extended praxis. XVIII. ELOCUTION. See " English Language," &c., supra. XIX. PUBLIC HEALTH.

PROFESSOR HEWITT,

A course of lectures on Sanitary Science is offered to the Seniors of all departments the Third Term. The topics embraced are such as: Personal Hygiene, as depending on soils, water, food, clothing, etc.; Public Hygiene, including sewerage and drainage of towns; heating, lighting and ventilation of dwellings and public buildings; epidemic diseases, intemperance, &c.

XX. INDUSTRIAL DRAWING.

Drawing and Descriptive Geometry are required of the Scientific students. of the COLLEGIATE DepartmenT, are optional for the Modern students during the entire course, and for the Classical students during the first two years.

THE COURSE IS AS FOLLOWS:

Fourth Class-Smith's Free Hand Drawing is taught during the third term. This work is in the line of the Geometrical and Mechanical Drawing pursued by the higher classes.

Third Class-During the first term the students learn the use of instruments, the principles of Geometrical Drawing, Tinting and Shading, and Elementary Projections.

Second Class-Projection Drawing is continued a part of the second term. The instruction is given by means of models, each student making the necessary measurements. Church's Descriptive Geometry is then taken up. A thorough drill is given in this subject. First, the class is required to draw the problems on the blackboard, and explain them; afterward each student draws the problems more carefully on paper.

First Class-Descriptive Geometry is continued and applied to many practical problems, and to Perspective. Besides the problems in Perspective in the text, the students make original drawings of various objects. All the drawings except the Free Hand Drawing, must be neatly executed with India Ink on Whatman's drawing paper. The "Imperial" size drawing paper is recommended. Each sheet should be divided into four equal parts, trimmed to a uniform size of about ten inches by fourteen inches, and bound in some simple

manner.

INSTRUMENTS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED;

It is desirable, for beginners, to secure only a small number of instruments, but these should be of good quality; if more are at any time desired they can be purchased separately. German silver instruments are the best.

The following outfit is recommended for beginners:

One pair of plain Dividers-One pair of Dividers with Pen and Pencil Point—One right line Pen--A Scale--A pair of Triangles-A hard Pencil-Rubber--A piece of India Ink.

These articles of good quality need not cost over $4.

XXI. MILITARY SCIENCE.

PROFESSOR LUNDEEN.

SEC. 26. And be it further enacted, That for the purpose of promoting knowledge of military science among the young men of the United States, the President may, upon the application of an established college or university within the United States with sufficient capacity to educate at one time not less than one hundred and fifty male students, detail an officer of the army to act as president, superintendent or professor of such college or university; that the number of officers so detailed shall not exceed twenty at any time, and shall be apportioned through the United States, as nearly as practicable according to population, and shall be governed by general rules to be prescribed from time to time by the President.

In compliance with the foregoing section of an act of Congress approved July 28th, 1866, the President has detailed an officer of the army as Professor of Military Science at this University. The government has also furnished 150 light breech-loading rifle muskets with accoutrements complete, similar to those in use by cadets at the U. S. Military Academy, and a section of artillery, with equipments, for instruction in the school of the piece and battery. Instruction is given in the schools of the soldier, company and battalion; drill, parade, review, and other ceremonies. By action of the Board of Regents, military exercises are required of all male students of the Collegiate Department, and are optional in the other classes. The course of theoretical instruction is optional.

The military exercises will comprise, besides Parades, Reviews, &c., instruction in the following subjects:

Practical Instruction.

1st Term-School of the Soldier, Manual of Arms, School of the Company, Target Practice, and Artillery Drill.

2d Term-Manual of Arms (for new students), Bayonet and Foil exercise, and theoretical instruction in the Duties of Officers and NonCommissioned Officers.

GROUNDS.

The University is situated in the East Division of the city of Minneapolis, about one mile below the Falls of St. Anthony, on an elevated bluff in full view of the same. The grounds are now about twenty-five acres in extent, undulating in surface and well wooded with native trees. The Legislature of 1877 appropriated $18,000 to enlarge the grounds by the purchase of lots abutting disadvantageously, and covering a large part of the frontage of the grounds. The plans for the embellishment of the grounds, made by Messrs. Cleveland and French of Chicago, "landscape architects," will be carried out so fast as the means can be afforded. Meantime, such are the natural advantages of situation and contour, the grounds are very attractive.

The Experimental Farm of the Agricultural College is situated a short distance below, near the east bank of the Mississippi. For description see College of Agriculture."

BUILDINGS.

The general plan of the buildings contemplates a central academic building, and, grouped around it, additional structures for the separate departments or colleges.

MAIN OR ACADEMIC BUILDING.

This building is 186 feet in length and 90 in breadth exclusive of porches, having three stories above the basement.

The walls.

are of blue limestone and the roofs of tin and slate. The rooms, fifty-three in number, as well as all the corridors, are heated by an efficient steam apparatus, and THOROUGHLY VENTILATED. Water and gas are supplied wherever needed. The Assembly Hall, in the third story, 87x55 feet and 24 feet high, will seat with comfort 700 people, and 1,000 can be accommodated.

THE AGRICULTURAL College.

This is the first of the special buildings for the separate colleges. It is of brick on a basement of blue stone, 146x54 feet. The central portion is two stories in height. The south wing, 46x25 feet, is a plant house of double sash and glass. The north. wing contains the Chemical Laboratory.
