Illinois Industrial University. 5 In order to systematize the instruction, and to guide students in their course, the following schools or departments of instruction are organized, or will be as soon as required: I. The Department of Science, Literature, and Arts. II. " " Agriculture. III. " " Mechanical Science and Art. IV. " " Military Tactics and Engineering. V. " " Mining and Metallurgy. VI. " " Civil Engineering. VII. " " Analytical and applied Chemistry. VIII. " " Nat. Hist., Practical Geology, etc. IX. " " Commercial Science and Art. Students, regularly admitted, will be allowed to take such studies as they may choose, provided they are prepared to pursue the same successfully with the regular classes ; and provided that each student, unless specially excused, shall have at least fifteen regular lessons or lectures per week. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. 1st. Each.student is required by law to be at least fifteen years of age, but it is believed that few will be found mature enough at this age to enter with the highest profit upon the studies of the University, and it is recommended, as a general rule, that students be at least eighteen years old before entering. 2nd. The law also prescribes that " no student shall be admitted to instruction in any of the departments of the University who shall not previously undergo a satisfactory examination in each of the branches ordinarily taught in the common schools of the State." In addition to these, candidates for any particular department will be examined in such studies as may be necessary to fit them to pursue successfully the course in that department. For admission to the regular course in Science, Literature, arid Arts, the student should be prepared to sustain an examination in Natural Philosophy, Physiology, Algebra, (Davies' Bourdon or equivalent) Geometry (Davies' Legendre or equivalent), Latin Grammar, Ciesar, Cicero's Orations, Virgil's Georgics, and JSneid. These additional studies, though not positively required for admission to the other departments, are strongly recommended.
