ORGANIZATION OF THE UNIVERSITY.

The institution is a University in the American sense, though differing designedly in the character of some of its colleges from the older institutions of this country. It embraces four- colleges, which are subdivided into schools. A school is understood to embrace the course of instruction needful for some one profession or vocation. Schools that are cognate in character and studies, are grouped in the same college. The following are the colleges and schools:

I. II. COLLEGE OF A G R I C U L T U R E . COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING..

School of Mechanical Engineering. School of Civil Engineering. School of Mining Engineering. School of Architecture.

III. IV. COLLEGE OF N A T U R A L SCIENCE.

School of Chemistry.

School of Natural History

COLLEGE OF L I T E R A T U R E AND SCIENCE.

School of English and Modern Languages. School of Ancient Languages.

V. ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS.

School of Military Science. School of Art and Design. Vocal and instrumental music are also taught, but not as parts of any regular course.

PREPARATORY CLASSES.

To meet an urgent demand, the Trustees have temporarily provided for teaching the preparatory studies lying between the work of some of the common schools and that of the University.
