COLLEGE OF SCIENCE

To graduate from the College of Science in the studies of this group, in a general course, the student must either complete the subjects of the prescribed list in the chemical group,* or must carry those of the corresponding list in the natural science group** and earn twenty hours additional credit for major natural science studies, ten of which must be biological and five in physiography. He must further do forty hours' major work, or their equivalent, on subjects in the philosophical group; must take minor courses in all the philosophical subjects (except pedagogy) in which he has not completed a major course. To graduate from this group in a specialized course the student must meet the general requirements for specialized courses, relating to thesis and amount of work required in the major subject. Those who specialize in psychology may count all hours gained in that department, and any ten hours earned previous to the senior year in anthropology, botany, 1,2; physiology 4; philosophy I, 2, 6, 8; zoology 1; economics 17. 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 courses in sociology the aim is to trace the evolution of society 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 at work tending to change its structure.
