A course of study, under the above designation, equivalent to the classical course, occupying four years, has been established by an ordinance of the Board of Regents for the benefit of such students as desire to substitute advanced scientific studies for the Latin and Greek languages. It includes all the studies of the classical course, except the ancient languages; and in addition, the German language, and the Applications of Science to Agriculture, Architecture, Mining, Surveying Engineering, Public Health, &c. This Course will be fully set forth in the next catalogue. The following table exhibits the subjects of study in this course for the year, arranged by terms: The subjects of study belonging to the Department of Science, Literature and the Arts, are discussed under the following heads; each one of which is placed under the charge of a Professor, with such assistance as may be necessary, who is responsible for the progress and attainments of the students therein: ETHICAL AND POLITICAL SCIENCE. [Chair vacant.] The instructions of this chair are rendered in course, to subgraduates of the fourth year, and to such other students of the University as elect to attend. The subjects of instruction are emicently adapted to prepare the student to become a good and useful citizen of the republic, and to fit him for civil service in the same. The course occupies a year, one exercise each day, and is as follows: ETHICS,-Moral Obligation; Development of Moral Law; Sanctions of Moral Law; Practical applications of the Science. The text-book, Wayland's Elements of Moral Science, is used, merely as suggesting a convenient series of topics for oral lecture, and for familiar discussion in class. CIVIL POLITY,-Political Ethics; Science of Government; The American Constitution; International Law; History of Civilization. This class of subjects is taught wholly by lecture, with intermediate examination and discussion. The student is required to write out his views on each topic, and at stated periods, to read his results before the class. POLITICAL ECONOMY,-Production of Material Wealth; Distribution; Exchange and Consumption; Applications of the Science; Relations to Civilization. The discussion of this subject in class, is in the order of topics suggested by Say in his Treatise on the Production, Distribution, and Consumption of Wealth. MENTAL PHILOSOPHY, LOGIC, RHETORIO, AND ENGLISH LITERATURE. DANIEL READ, LL. D., Professor The instructions of this chair are rendered to subgraduates of the first, third and fourth years. An extra course on English Literature will be given annually to students not of the regular classes. The course of instruction in Intellectual Philosophy embraces an analy. sis of the powers of the human mind, active and moral, as well as those denominated intellectual, the examination of those powers in reference to criticism, to teaching, to the improvement of the individual and the progress of society. It includes also, a critical review of the systems of philosophy, which have prevailed among men. Logic is taught as to its principles and application; an outline of the laws of evidence and human belief is given; and in connection with this part of the subject, the evidences of Christianity are examined. Rhetoric, so far as it relates to the subjects of invention and disposition, is taught by lectures, upon the basis of Quintillian and Cicero; and, as regards style and criticism, upon that of modern writers. In the course of English Literature are included the history of the English language, an examination of its elements, powers and grammar, and the history of English Literature in its various departments. In history Webber's outlines will be used as a text-book, and a course of lectures will be given on the civil history of the United States. The course in this department for the term beginning February 8th, will be the following: I. MENTAL PHILOSOPHY,-Embracing analysis of the faculties of the human mind, active and moral, as well as those denominated intellectual; examination of these powers in reference to criticism, to teaching, to the improvement of the individual and the progress of society. The course also embraces a critical review of the systems of Philosephy which have prevailed among men. The instruction of the department is conducted by means of text-books (Haven) and lectures. The student is required to give orally or upon the blackboard, an analysis of every subject, as well as to prepare carefully written abstracts and dissertations upon assigned topics. Hour from 10-11 A. M. II. CLASS IN ENGLISH,-History of English Larguage; its composition, grammar, structure of sentences, punctuation. History of the progress of English Literature in its various departments. Hour 11-12 A. M. III. SPEAKING AND COMPOSITION,-All students required to engage in these exercises. 3 P. M.

For admission to this course, candidates will, in future, be required to have a thorough knowledge of Arithmetic, Mental and Written; the Elements of Algebra, (Ray's) and Plane Geometry, (Loomis'.) In this department there is one exercise daily for three years. To secure thoroughness there will be frequent reviews, and written examinations on the subjects passed over. On the various subjects of General Physics or Natural Philosophy, there will be weekly, extending throughout the year, at least two lectures accompanied by experimental illustrations. All who choose are permitted to attend these exercises. Each regular member of the class is expected to take notes of the lectures, and is frequently required to lecture on subjects previously discussed by the professor, repeating the experiments. This exercise is deemed important to cultivate in the student the habit of investigation and facility in communicating his knowledge.

SURVEYING AND CIVIL ENGINEERING. T. D. CORYELL, A. M. Instructor. This School was established by an ordinance of the Board of Regents, passed at their meeting in July, 1858. The subjects of Practical Surveying and Engineering were placed under the immediate charge of an Instructor. Since the passage of the ordinance, two terms' instruction has been rendered in this school. The proportion of students in attendance upon the course has been large, thus demonstrating that the school meets a recognized and well defined want. In a new country like that from which the University draws the mass of its students, an increasing demand for the services of the Surveyor and Engineer may be expected, notwithstanding fluctuations in this demand, |
