CHOICE OF STUDIES. It has been a favorite aim of the University from the outset, to allow as much freedom as possible in the selection of studies. A University is designed not for children, but for men and women, who may claim to know something of their wants, powers, and tastes. It is not useful to require every student, without regard to his capacity or practical wants, to take entire some lengthened " course of study." Each student should weigh carefully his own powers and needs, and counsel freely with his teachers as to the branches he may need to fit him for his chosen career, and then should pursue them with earnestness and perseverance, without faltering or fickleness. It is necessarily required:—that the student shall be thoroughly prepared to enter and keep pace with the classes in the chosen studies, and that he shall take these studies in the terms in which they are taught. Candidates for a degree must take the course of study prescribed for that degree. Each student is expected to have three distinct studies, affording three class exercises each day. On special request, the Faculty may allow less or more.
