MODELLING IN CLAY has been recently introduced as an adjunct study in the Architectural course. It is taught by Mons. J., Kenis, an educated Sculptor, a graduate of the Fine Art School of Louvain, in Belgium. Lectures are given on the principles of Art and Designing, and the Students have a thorough course in original exercises in art composition and designing, and especially in industrial art. Practically all the studies of a School of Design are pursued with appliances and facilities which few such schools yet possess this side of the Atlantic.

MUSIC.

Instruction is provided for on the Piano and Organ. This is charged for at the rate of $10 for term of 20 lessons; and if a University instrument is used for practicing, the charge per term for such use is $2.50, with daily practice. The class meets weekly for public practice, and at the end of the term they are examined in public and marked, as in the other classes. Vocal music with a thorough course in voice culture, is taught bv an accomplished instructor, Mrs. Fanny Hollister. The fee is fifty cents a lesson. The instruction is individual. Classes in vocal music are usually organized each term under good instructors.

MISCELLANY.

EXAMINATIONS.

Thorough, written examinations are held at the close of each term and whenever any study lr.'s been finally completed. Any student failing to answer corectly 75 P e r cent of the questions proposed, loses all credit for that study, and is precluded from proceeding with any other studies without special permission. A record is kept of each student's terms work and standing, and from this his final certificate of graduation is made up.

CERTIFICATES.

Under the law, any one who remains a year at the University, and maintains a satisfactory standing in his studies and in character, is entitled, on leaving the University, to a certificate of his studies and standing. The full certificate of the University will be given to those only who have satisfactorily completed a four years' course in some one of the colleges. Each certificate will state the college and course pursued, the actual studies taken, and the the number of terms, with standing in each marked on a scale of 100. Hence, each diploma will have just so much value as the student shall have given it, by a more or less thorough mastery of his studies.
