ments. Thomson's Outlines of Zoology, or its equivalent, will be accepted as a suitable text. PHYSIOGRAPHY.—The amount and character of the work required for the minimum credit may be seen by referring to Mill's Reader of Nature, published by Scribner. For additional credits the principles of climatology, ability to read physical and contour maps, interpretation of weather maps and forecasting of weather, etc., will be considered.

PHYSICAL OR BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE.—For this there may be

offered any one of the following subjects or combination of subjects: Physics, one year; chemistry, one year; botany and zoology, each a half year; biology, the study of plant or animal types, one year. The subjects must be taught in part by laboratory methods and the pupil's note-books must be submitted. Other evidences of work done, as illustrative drawings, collections of specimens, etc., should be presented. Examinations cover the subject-matter as presented in text-books in most common use in high schools. See also the descriptions given under the several subjects. REGISTRATION

At the beginning of each term each student must present himself for registration within the time set for that purpose, before the formation of classes, and he must be present at the first exercise of each class he is to attend. EXAMINATIONS Examinations are held as often as in the judgment of the instructor the necessities of the work require. Examinations are also given at the close of each term, on the work of the term, in all subjects except those whose character renders it unnecessary or impracticable. Students who are conditioned in term examinations are required to take second examinations soon after the beginning of the following term. Those who fail to pass the term examination are precluded from proceeding with any University work without special permission. A record is kept of each student's standing.
