DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENTS. ECONOMICS. The instruction in this subject is based on the work of the first two years in science. The relation of the study to the biological sciences commonly so called is emphasized and kept steadily in view. In the general courses the aim is to study society as an organism, to trace its evolution from primitive forms to its present complex structure, to examine the nature of its environment and its adaptation thereto, its present normal character and operations, and the forces, subjective and objective, which are a t work tending to change its structure. The courses on special topics are treated as detailed studies of special organs and functions, their character as such is described, and their relations to one another and to the whole social organism are studied. The plan of instruction combines recitations, lectures, discussions, and reports by students on assigned topics. The advanced courses are divided into two groups and given in alternate years. PEDAGOGY. For an account of the scope and methods of the department of pedagogy see Pedagogy, in the College of Literature and Arts. •Two years of French may be offered in the philosophical group in place of the five terms of German required.
