COLLEGE OF SCIENCE.

in the group occupy a place among the divisions of biological science, and it is intended to carry the spirit of biology, in the commonly accepted sense, into the investigation of these subjects. The general aim and scope of the group is the study of the character and development of the individual and of society, of the relations of man to external nature, of the influence of natural selection on social development, and, finally, of the possible effect of artificial selection on that development, through both subjective and objective influences. In method of treatment, while not neglecting the literary value of the subjects, an effort is made to arouse the scientific spirit, and to keep in close touch with the other work in the college. Under this caption the subjects of psychology, pedagogy, economics, and philosophy are offered in the College of Science as electives to all chemical and natural science students, and to all students who desire to specialize in the philosophical subjects, with studies in the physical and natural sciences as a preparation for them. All the studies of this group are junior and senior subjects, open, as a rule, to those students only who have done two years of University work.
