The University embraces the following Colleges and Schools. A School, it will be observed, is designed to provide a combined course of instruction made up of the branches of learning needful for some one profession. Schools naturally allied are grouped into a College. I. T h e College of A g r i c u l t u r e .

School of AGRICULTURE. School of HORTICULTURE. II. The College of E n g i n e e r i n g . S. of MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. S. of CIVIL ENGINEERING. S. of MINING ENGINEERING. S. of ARCHITECTURE. III. T h e College of N a t u r a l S c i e n c e . School of CHEMISTRY. School of NATURAL HISTORY. IV. The College of Literature a n d Science. School of ENGLISH and MODERN LANGUAGES. School of ANCIENT LANGUAGES and LITERATURE.

V. Other Schools.

School of MILITARY SCIENCE. School of COMMERCE. School of DOMESTIC SCIENCE and ART.

Schools of WOOD ENGRAVING, PRINTING, TELEGRAPHING, PHOTOGand DESIGNING, it is hoped, will be added at an early day. Upon pages 53 to 58, the student will find marked out the course of studies selected to fit him for his chosen pursuit. A completion of one of these courses, will be necessary to entitle him thus to graduate. A student desiring to pursue any branch of study farther than is provided for in the courses of the Schools, will find a statement of the extent of the course of instruction given in such branch, under the heading "Departments. '' STATE A P P R O P R I A T I O N S . The State Legislature at its recent session passed an act making various appropriations, amounting in the aggregate to over $50,000, for the completion, heating, lighting, furnishing, etc., of the New University Building. This large structure was enclosed, floored, and plastered, and the grounds partly laid out, before the cold weather of last year set in. The work will be continued vigorously this year. During the summer vacation, the library, cabinets, etc., will be moved to their new and spacious quarters, the chapel, lecture and numerous class rooms, offices, and society rooms will be furnished, the heating and lighting arrangements completed, and the whole building and its surroundings put in order for occupation by the September classes.' For some time past the insufficient accomodations for the numerous lectures and classes constantly going on in the different departments of the University, have been the cause of great inconvenience to Professor and Student, and much detriment to the subjects taught. , The completion and occupation of the new accommodations will therefore be a great relief, and perhaps no appropriation will be of more real economy to the State than that just made, or of more direct importance and value to all the counties, few of which have not students in the University.
