192 UNIVEBSITY OF ILLINOIS. CHOICE OF STUDIES. Great freedom in the choice of studies is permitted. It is, however, necessarily required that the student shall be thoroughly prepared to enter and keep pace with the classes in the chosen studies; that he shall take these in the terms and at the time of day elsewhere designated, and that, when expecting to take a degree, he pursue the studies leading to that degree. In the College of Engineering the courses are substantially all prescribed. Following the description of each course of instruction given in the general alphabetical list of courses, will be found the necessary requirements, if any, for admission to that particular course. Careful attention must be given to these requirements and to the sequence of studies thus indicated. For instance, under Astronomy 2, for students of College of Engineering, page 98, there are required "Mathematics 4;" "Physics 1 and 3;" "Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1." Turning now to the general list of subjects, p. 87, it is found that Mathematics 4 is Trigonometry, Physics 1 is the major course of one year, and Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1 is Analytical Mechanics. All these subjects must be satisfactorily passed before admission to the class in astronomy can be gained. The work in military instruction and drill practice is required as described, of all male students during the freshmen and sophomore years. Women may take an equivalent amount of gymnasium drill. The described courses in rhetoric and oratory must be taken by all students at the times and to the extent given in the suggested and prescribed courses of study. Each student must have three distinct studies, affording three daily class exercises, unless specially permitted by the faculty to take less or more. MILITARY SCIENCE. The military instruction is under the charge of a graduate of the U. S. Military Academy, and an officer of the regular army of the United States. The course as a whole has special reference to the duties of officers of the line. A full supply of arms and ammunition is furnished by the War Department, including 300 cadet rifles and accoutrements, and two field pieces
