REGULATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION. ADMISSION. [For further information than is here given address W. L. Pillsbury, Registrar, Urbana, 111.] Examinations of candidates for admission to the University, or to any of its departments, are held at the University Thursday, Friday, and Saturday before the beginning of the fall term in September and on the two days previous to the opening of each of the other terms, and at other times and places specially announced. Applicants must be at least sixteen years of age, and it is considered desirable that they be two or three years older than this. The average age at entrance is almost exactly twenty years. They must pass the required examinations, and must pay the prescribed fees. No distinction is made in regard to sex, nativity, color, or place of residence. Entrance may be made at any time, provided the candidate is competent to take up the work of the classes then in progress; but it is very much better to begin upon the first collegiate day in September, when a large number of the classes are organized, several of them to continue during the year. Satisfactory entrance may usually be made at the beginning of the winter term. ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS. The subjects upon which the entrance examinations are held are numbered and described in the list given below. Those required for the several colleges and courses are designated by the groups of numbers corresponding to the subjects in the list. The physics, physiology, and botany described are each required as preparatory to these subjects as taught in this University. The text books are named only to aid in showing the requirements. Equivalents are accepted. 1. For the College of Literature and Arts.—Subjects; 2, 6, 7, 8, and any three from 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. For those who desire 182
