The object of this College is to furnish a sound and liberal education to fit students for the general duties of life, and especially to prepare them for those business pursuits which require a large measure of literary and scientific knowledge and training. It is designed to meet the wants of those who wish to prepare themselves for the labors of the press as editors or publishers, for teachers in the higher institutions, or for the transaction of public business. Students in the agricultural and other technical schools desiring to educate themselves as teachers, writers, and professors in their special departments, require a knowledge of the Ancient, as well as the Mod' ern Languages, to give them full command of all the instruments and facilities required for the highest proficiency in their studies and pro* posed work. The University seeks through these schools to provide for this important part of its mission—the furnishing of teachers to the industrial schools of the country, and investigators and writers for the Arts. The large liberty allowed in the section of the special studies of his course will permit the student to give such cirection to his education as will fit him fully for any chosen sphere or pursuit.
