52 COLLEGE OF LITERATURE,AND ARTS world to the language, literature, and institutions of our time is so great that an intimate acquaintance with that life is of the highest educational value. The courses offered include a teachers' class. The work is based on the needs of those teaching preparatory Latin, and methods of presentation, difficulties, aims, and results are discussed. The members of the class do the work that they, as teachers, should require of their pupils, and at intervals take charge of the recitation. MATHEMATICS The object of the instruction in pure Mathematics is to promote habits of mental concentration and continuity of thought, to develop the capacity to form and combine abstract conceptions, and to cultivate deductive reasoning. The course is so arranged as to meet the requirements of those who wish to fit themselves for instructors, and of those who study the science for the love of it. The mathematical courses open to students of the College of Literature and Arts, include the entire offering of the University in pure mathematics, with the view of meeting the desire of those students who wish to make mathematics a specialty without taking the applied mathematics required in the mathematical group of the College of Science. MILITARY SCIENCE The work of the department of Military Science is prescribed for all male students. The department therefore belongs to all the colleges alike. A fall description of the work offered and of the aims and scope of the department will be found farther on in the catalogue. (Consult the Index.) MUSIC The department of music, during the past two years, has been greatly strengthened and offers superior advantages to those who desire a thorough musical education. The courses offered are widely varied, and are arranged to meet the needs of individual students. The time that may be devoted to the subject, especially in the study of an instrument or the voice, is indefinite; however, a regular course is laid out
