GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COURSES

Following the description of each course of instruction will be found the necessary requirements, if any, for admission to that particular course. Careful attention must be given to these requirements and to the sequence of studies thus indicated. For instance, under Architecture 4, for students of the College of Engineering, page 161, there are required "Mathematics 4," "Physics 1 and 3/' and "Architecture 2 and 3." Turning now to these subjects, it is found that mathematics 4 is trigonometry, physics 1 and 3 are the major course of one year, architecture 2 is wood construction, and architecture 3 is stone, brick, and metal construction. All these subjects must be satisfactorily passed before admission may be had to the class in astronomy. In case a course not required for graduation is selected by less than five students, the right to withdraw the same for the term is reserved. Graduate courses of instruction are described under the various subjects, as a rule after the undergraduate courses. They are numbered upward from 100. Other courses may often be arranged by the professors in charge to meet the special requirements of students. The subjects in which graduate courses are announced for 1898-99 are as follows: Agriculture, architecture, botany, chemistry, civil engineering, Danish language, economics, electrical engineering, French, geology, Greek, history, Latin, mechanical engineering, municipal and sanitary engineering, pedagogy, philosophy, psychology, theoretical and applied mechanics, zoology.
