COURSE OF STUDY.

The complete course occupies four years. The several subjects included therein are shown in the list below. Each study requires five recitations per week, and should receive daily from three to four hours of the student's time. Some of the class exercises occupy one hour daily, while others require two hours; as a rule the latter require less time for preparation. The order of studies as given by the year and term in the tabular view of the course, should be closely followed to avoid interference in hours of recitation, and because the studies are there given in the order which best meets the preparation of the student.
