and if such person pass in all the studies and exercises of a course, he is entitled to the appropriate degree.

SPECIAL STUDENTS.

Persons of mature years and judgment may be admitted to pursue studies to be selected from the regular course of study. The subjects are ar' ranged in groups. Special students must confine their work to one or two of the groups as tabulated below. All applicants, as conditional to their admission as special students, shall pass an examination in so many of the subjects known as requisites for entrance to the regular course of study, as properly belong to, or are naturally introductory to the line or lines of study they have elected; for instance, if they have elected mathematics, they shall be examined in entrance mathematics; if history, then entrance history; if science, then entrance science; if English studies, or a modern language, then entrance English; if Latin, then entrance Latin; if Greek, then entrance Latin or English.

The grouping of the subjects is as follows:

I MODERN PHILOLOGY.—English, French, German, Scandinavian.
II. CLASSICAL PHILOLOGY.-Greek, Latin.

III. COMPARATIVE PHILOLOGY.—

IV. BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE.-Botany, Zoology, Physiology, Paleontology.
V. PHYSICAL SCIENCE.-Lithological Geology, Chemistry, Physics,
Mineralogy.

VI. MATHEMATICS.-Algebra, Geometry, Quaternions, Astronomy.
VII. HISTORY.-

VIII. POLITICAL SCIENCE.-Political Economy, National Economy, International Law.

IX. PHILOSOPHY.-Logic, Psychology, Natural Theology, History of Philosophy.

Candidates for admission to pursue special studies make a further application on a blank provided for that purpose. This application must be presented in person to a committee of the General Faculty, H. P. Judson, Chairman. This application, if approved, is then placed on file with the registrar. Special students desiring to change their lines of study must again present their application to the committee for approval. All special students must renew their application at the beginning of each year.

MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS.

The chair is filled by an officer of the regular army detailed by the President of the United States at the request of the board of Regents of the University.

For the character of the exercises and number per week, see the course of study.

The organization consists of a battalion, composed of three companies of Infantry, and a battery of Artillery for the male students, also one company of female students. The course is to be compulsory during the Freshman year for all students who enter the collegiate course in the future, (unless specially excused by the faculty); all are expected to provide themselves

with uniforms. That for the male studeuts will be manufactured by tailors in the city of Minneapolis and will cost complete about $20.00. It consists of a blouse, trousers, vest and cap, modeled after the West Point Cadet uniforms, with flat buttons. A description of uniform worn by the female students is inserted to enable them to make up their uniforms before coming to the University.

The commissioned and non-commissioned officers will be selected at the beginning of each year, as far as practicable from the Senior and Junior classes.

IMPORTANT.

The three students of the Senior class having the highest grade of merit in this department will be reported to the Secretary of War, and by him, reported in the Army and Navy register for that year. Preference being given to those so reported in selecting officers for vacancies in the United States Army.

Military drill may be taken voluntarily by others outside the Freshman class, and a year of drill thus taken will count as one study in the third term of the Senior year. It is understood, however, that only one credit can be thus gained.

LADIES' DRILL UNIFORM.

The material shall be of dark navy-blue flannel trimmed with light-gray broadcloth. The skirt shall be a plain full skirt, containing two and onehalf widths, or three if necessary, of the navy-blue material, so gathered at the waist that the main fulness shall fall behind. In length the skirt shall be exactly five inches from the floor; and shall be finished with a hem four and one-half inches wide. Just above the hem shall be a band of the lightgray broadcloth two inches wide when finished, the lower edge being exactly four inches from the bottom of the skirt. The skirt shall be sewed to a silicia waist. The blouse shall be made without lining, just long enough to fall over the belt of the blouse, and with no more fulness around the bottom than is necessary. The belt of the blouse must be fastened to the skirt. The neck shall be finished with a short standing collar, also a sailor collar, the pattern of which will be sent with the goods. The sleeves shall be straight and full enough to allow free movement. They shall be gathered at the wrist into a band of the broadcloth two inches deep. The blouse shall be fastened in front with five frogs, made of gray braid as follows:

Each half frog contains one-half yard of the braid, sewed together as shown in the cut. The distance from 1 to 2 is three inches, and the remainder of the one-half yard makes the loops. Stiff waists, bustles and reeds are prohibited, and no changes, and no additions must be made to these directions by individuals. The material can be procured only at Hale, Thomas & Co.'s, Minneapolis, Minn. In ordering, state the number of yards needed of the navy-blue material, and this, together with the necessary trimmings, will be sent upon request from the above-named firm.

The instruction in the studies of the first three years, and in a part of the studies of the fourth year of this course is already substantially given by the several departments in the College of Science, Literature and the Arts, and in the College of Mechanic Arts. In these branches the various laboratories and work-rooms of the University, with a good equipment already furnished, and with additions to apparatus and material constantly being made, will afford facilities for practical and thorough work. For the remaining studies of this course, provision is made by assigning for the accommodation of the School of Mining and Metallurgy, rooms in the new Museum building, or Science Hall. In the basement of this building will be furnished the usual appliances for the study of assaying and metallurgy,

the practical treatment of ores and the separation of metals, including crushing machinery, amalgamating apparatus and furnaces. Visits to mines, stamp mills, smelters, and blast furnaces, will form a part of the

course.

DEGREES.

Students who complete the full course of study will receive the degree of Bachelor of Mining Engineering.
