main lines of study and to associated or secondary subjects, and at the same time so to guide the student's elections that his course of study shall always contain a central core or axis of closely articulated major work. Preference is further given by this means to those minor subjects most important because of their relations to the major work elected. The only undergraduate degree given in this College is that of Bachelor of Science. Forty* full term credits for University studies are required for graduation, two of which must be earned by investigation work, the results of which are to be presented in the final thesis. Credit will be given for fractions of courses of instruction in exceptional cases only, by vote of the College faculty. EQUIPMENT. Laboratories.—The College of Science occupies two of the main University buildings,—the Chemical Laboratory and Natural History Hall, —together with several rooms in University Hall assigned to the mathematical department, and to some of those of the philosophical group. The natural history museum is also in University Hall. The laboratory and library facilities of this College have been acquired with primary reference to the needs of the undergraduate student, and are scarcely surpassed, for their purpose, in grade and completeness, among American universities. The graduate student likewise finds here an ample equipment, material, and opportunity for independent investigation in several departments of study, notably in those covered by the operations of the State Laboratory of Natural History and of the State Entomologist's office. Apparatus.—A detailed description of apparatus will be found under each department of instruction. THE CHEMICAL GROUP.
