illustrated by numerous photographs at hand, or by stereopticon views. The class will have readings prescribed, collateral to the subjects treated, which are to be synopsized and presented for criticism. Spring term. For those who take the lectures only, half study, for others counts as full study. Professor Moss. HISTORY. The study of history extends through the junior and senior years and includes general history, the history of civilization, and the history of the English and United States constitutions. The work of the two years is intended to be continuous, each term being helped by the one preceding; but the study of the constitutional history of the United States is arranged separately for students who have not had the course in general history. The work of the course is presented by text books, topics and lectures, and it is desired that students should obtain a considerable acquaintance with historical writers as well as facts. 1. General history.—Three terms are given to general history (some previous knowledge of the subject being assumed) in tracing the outlines of the world's progress from the first appearance of civilization. The work is intended to be much more than an outline, however, and cause and effect, the philosophy of history, are carefully looked to as preparing the way for the special study of the history of civilization which follows. Fall, winter, and spring terms, full study. Mr.

WINSTON.

2. History of Civilization.—In this subject the early state of mankind and the history of progress from that state on through the Greek and Roman periods is presented in lectures, followed by a consideration of the civilization of modern Europe on the basis of Guizot's Lectures. References are made to a considerable range of literature, and essays on various topics are required. Fall term, full study.
