SCHOOL OF NATURAL HISTORY.

The aim of this school is to educate practical geologists, collectors and curators of cabinets and museums of natural history, and superintendents of scientific explorations and surveys. It acquaints the student with the latest researches in respect to the structure of the earth and to the origin and distribution of its organic products; teaches him to collect and preserve specimens and arrange them for study, and to conduct original investigations.

INSTRUCTION.

The instruction is given by lectures and text-books, and excursions, when practicable, made under charge of the professors. Botany.—Candidates for admission are examined upon Gray's "Lessons in Botany," or an equivalent, and are expected to be able to analyze readily common wild flowers.

Students, throughout the course, are required to observe for themselves, and to make notes and drawings of their investigations. A series of these drawings,
