UNIVERSITY

OF ILLINOIS.

None of the common branches, such as Arithmetic, Geography, English Grammar, Reading and Spelling, are taught in this University. These all must befinishedbefore you come. 2. In order to pursue profitably the true college studies, and to keep pace with the classes, you must be ready to pass a strict examination in the common branches just mentioned, and in certain other preparatory studies, differing with the different colleges of the University. (See pages 33 and 34). 3. If well prepared only in the common branches above named, you may be admitted, not to the College, but to the preparatory classes, in which you will study the other preparatory studies for admission to college. (See pp. 91—92). All preparatory studies must be completed before you can be admitted, as a matriculated student, to any college class. 4. All college studies are arranged in regular courses, in which each term's work is designed to prepare for the next. You should enter at the beginning of the college year, in September. If unable to enter at that time, you may enter at any later time by making up the studies already passed over by the class. 5. Enter college with the purpose of going through, and make your course regular as far as you go. If obliged to leave before you have finished the course you will have done the best thing for yourself in the meantime; while if you remain, the regular course is in nine cases out of ten the most useful and effective. Student's desiring only a winter's schooling should go to some high school.
