Zoology Botany Physics Physics Students must choose from the above list such studies as they require for their chosen courses in the University, taking those under each head in the order given, except the optional languages and sciences. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION ALGEBRA Rapidity and accuracy in all operations is rigidly required. Special emphasis is laid upon the use of purely literal expressions, radicals, fractional and negative exponents, and upon the fundamental nature of equation. By terms, the work is divided as follows: 1. Fundamental processes, factoring, divisors, and multiples, fractions, and simple equations with one or more unknown quantities. 2. Involution and evolution, theory of exponents, radicals, and quadratic equations. 3. Theory of quadratic equations, inequalities, theory of limits, ratio and proportion, variation and the progressions. One class will review the entire subject in the fall term. If five or more aftfly, a beginning class will be formed in January. BOTANY This is a study of plants rather than of books about plants, although books are not disregarded. It is an introduction to the science, and is intended to give an acquaintance with the chief features of the subject. The analysis of simple flowers and the preparation of a small herbarium of correctly named and properly mounted plants is required.
