AIMS AND SCOPE The College of Science is based upon the idea that the methods of science and the branches of study to which those methods are applicable present a subject matter and a discipline ample for the purposes of a liberal education, and that an education so derived differs materially in character and value from one whose sources are mainly literary. This College is distinguished in general from the technical colleges of the University by the fact that its choice of subjects is not limited by practical ends, and from the College of Literature and Arts by the predominance, in its courses and requirements, of the strictly scientific subjects. It is assimilated to the latter, however, by the liberal elections from the literary courses permitted to students who have satisfied its demands as to scientific work, and by the special courses in science open to election by students from the companion college. It affords an opportunity for the study of the natural, physical, mathematical, and mental sciences, and of economic, sociological, and philosophical subjects, either as specialties or as the substance of a general education. The candidate for graduation may take a year each in any four of the principal subjects of this College, with a consideraDle amount of language, literature, and general study ; he may concentrate his major work on any one of the several subjects in which major courses are offered ; or he may adopt any program of concentration of his major work intermediate between these extremes. The subjects presented in this College are accordingly arranged in four groups—chemical, mathematical, natural science, and philosophical—each characterized by the predominant importance and development of the subjects indicated by its name. The studies of each group are again divided into
