The School of Natural History is especially intended to provide a general preparation for the professions and business pursuits requiring more of an acquaintance with the methods and facts of science than with those of literature. More specifically, it is designed: To afford a thorough liberal education with a basis in the sciences and the modern languages. To prepare for the teaching of the natural history subjects either in the higher schools or as a professional specialty. To lay a liberal foundation in biological work and study for a course in medicine. To prepare for the pursuit of specialties in zoology, botany, general biology and geology, as a scientific career. The natural history course of four years leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science. It is distinguished by unusually full instruction in the biological subjects and in the other modern sciences, combined with a thorough course in French and German. It offers two hours a day for a year in botany, and the same each in zoology and in general or special biology; a term each of entomology, of human anatomy and physiology; of microscopy, and of mineralogy; two terms each of geology and of physics: a year of chem-
