The program as outlined differs from that offered in previous years in the following ways: (a) The German or French is completed in the freshman year. (b) The study of Rhetoric is confined to the freshman year. (c) A special course in Analytical Geometry, four hours, is introduced in the second semester of the freshman year. (d) A new course in Calculus, three hours each semester, is introduced in the second year, replacing the present Mathematics 8. The first semester will be devoted to Differential Calculus, the second semester to Integral Calculus. (e) Geology 20, General Mineralogy, three hours, is placed in the first semester of the sophmore year. (f) In the second Semester of the sophmore year, an option is offered candidates for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, of English 20, History 3b, or T. & A. M. 20, three hours. In the curriculum in Chemical Engineering, this option does not exist, T. & A. M. 20 being prescribed. 3. Curriculum in Chemistry', Third and Fourth Years

In the following schedule of courses, after the second year there are offered certain prescribed subjects required of all students and in addition five group options, the last four of which are outlined for the purpose of affording systematic training along certain important lines of applied chemistry. The first option, A, is intended for those students who wish to place chief emphasis on the fundamental branches of chemistry as a science and for those students who desire a combination of subjects not outlined in the other four groups. Students in Option A must submit to their adviser at the beginning of the junior year an outline of their proposed program for the junior and senior years. Approval of such an outline must be secured from the adviser before registering. At least 12 hours of the electives under option A must be in Chemistry, and it is recommended that they be selected as far as possible from more advanced courses in inorganic, analytical, organic, and physical chemistry. In all groups in

*T. & A. M. 20 required for Chemical Engineers.
