All candidates for the degree of B.S. pursue a certain number of subjects in common in addition to the more specialized studies of the various elective courses. The purpose is to give all who take the bachelor's degree such general training as shall make them broadlyeducated and intelligent citizens. These prescribed studies may be grouped as follows: AGRICULTURE AND THE NATURAL SCIENCES. AGRICULTURE is required two hours a week during the first term of the Freshman year. The aim is to give the student definite information concerning the formation and composition of soils, the growth and development of plants and animals, and the transformations and uses of the various farm products. ZOOLOGY is required in the Winter term, Freshman year, two hours weekly. Systematic Zoology in the old sense is not taught. The aim is to present, as far as the time will allow, a few of the great biological principles which are illustrated in the animal kingdom. There is, therefore, introduced considerable Physiology as well as Morphology. Some laboratory work is done in the dissection of the oyster and the clam. In this way the student gets a practical knowledge of what is meant by anatomy, histology, development, classification, nutrition, protoplasm, differentiation, heredity, etc. Syllabus No. 6 of the Extension Course, lectures, and Dorner's Physiology serve as guides in these lessons, supplemented by demonstrations from specimens, charts and Auzoux models. BOTANY.-Students in all courses take Botany two hours a week in the third term of the Freshman year, and the ground covered is embraced by "Gray's Revised Lessons." In connection with the text-book work, each student makes drawings and descriptions of leaves, stems, roots and other parts of plants. This is followed by a thorough study of the flower from living specimens gathered in the field. The terms used in Descriptive Botany are dwelt upon so that each member of the class becomes familiar with the methods of deter mining the botanical names of plants, and acquaints himself with the relationship of genera and orders. Students are taught the methods of preparing and mounting herbarium specimens, and are required to make collections of their own. GENERAL CHEMISTRY is taught from a text-book fully illustrated by experimental lectures, during two terms of the Sophomore year. An endeavor is made to make the student understand the sure basis of fact on which the science of Chemistry rests, and to reason for himself from these facts. He is also taught to make a careful distinction between facts and theories, and not to confound that which is proved with that which is merely speculative. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY begins in the third term of Sophomore year, so that students looking toward Agriculture and Biology, as well as Chemistry, can get some idea of the chemical changes connected with their prospective subjects before more detailed study comes. The general behavior of carbon in its compounds is considered, and the different classes it forms, as well as their relations, are studied so that the fundamental chemical changes concerned in the growth of plant or animal can be properly understood by students in these courses. It is continued through the first two terms of the Junior year in the Chemical Course only. PHYSICS.-Three hours weekly, during the entire Sophomore year, are devoted to this subject. The presentation is by lectures, covering the ground of the text-books of Ganot and Deschanel. Recitations are both oral and written, special attention being given to deduction of the general from particulars, as well as to inferences from general principles. The course is supplemented by detailed study of the physical basis of practical machinery during the first term of the Junior year, two hours weekly. ASTRONOMY.-General Astronomy is taught during the second term to all the members of the Junior class. The object of this study is to acquaint the student with the leading facts and discoveries of the new Astronomy, and to present the methods and principles of modern astronomical research. The daily recitations are supplemented by lectures illustrated by photographic lantern views obtained from the principal observatories of the world. MINERALOGY is taught in the second term of the Junior year, lectures being given at each session, illustrated by specimens taken not only from the College collection, but also from the private collection of the Professor in charge. Full notes of these lectures are required from each student as well as occasional recitations on the subject. GEOLOGY.-In the study of Geology, which occupies two terms of the Senior year, a text-book is used, but each lesson is explained in advance by a short lecture, at which time suitable specimens are exhibited. MATHEMATICS. During the first year all students of the Scientific School are instructed in Algebra, Trigonometry, Surveying and Draughting. Algebra is completed and the students receive field practice in Surveying sufficient to make them familiar with the uses of the compass and transit and able to determine magnetic variations. At the beginning of the second year the student elects the course he will pursue for the remainder of his College course, and the mathematics included is applicable to such course and will be mentioned in detail under the heading of those courses. GRAPHICS. The instruction in this department is oral and by illustration or supervision, except in Descriptive Geometry. In this subject a textbook is used in the recitation-room, while the principles there discussed are more fully illustrated by problems assigned for graphical solution in the draughting-room. When the student has acquired some facility in the use of instruments, he is taught the methods of Projections, Intersections and Developments of simple geometrical surfaces. In the Sophomore year, the course in Drawing is based on Descriptive Geometry. Besides the solution of problems in Solid Geometry, the course, during the year, includes practice in Shades and Shadows and Linear Perspective, the work being all directed by mathematical principles. During the Junior and Senior years, the aim of the instruction is to acquaint the student with some of the many applications of the principles of Drawing bearing especially on those subjects which are |
