making such a selection of studies within these limits as is best adapted to certain special ends. These courses are to be taken as suggestions only, made for the convenience of students. Students having definite objects in view which require a careful selection of studies are advised to consult with the Dean of the College before arranging their study lists. Outlines of specialized courses in each department may be had from the heads of departments, and complete tabulated outlines of the following described courses may be obtained from the Dean of the College. Courses for Teachers—Four tabulated courses have been prepared for the benefit of prospective science teachers. These include a general science teacher's course, and courses for special teachers of biology, of physics and chemistry, and of geology and physiography. These courses are intended especially to prepare for the work of the science teacher in secondary schools, and with a proper course of graduate study following will also fit for instruction work in college science. Women's Course in Science—This is a four years' course, arranged primarily for women students who wish a scientific education containing those subjects offered by the University which have a special bearing upon the management of the home. In addition to general courses in chemistry, botany, biology, physiology, and art and design, it contains a year's special work in household chemistry; special semester courses in art, architecture, horticulture, physiology, and economics; a year each in history and English literature, and the courses in mathematics, German, physics, and geology necessary to graduation in the natural science group. Economic Entomology.—A complete four years' course has been arranged from the offerings of the natural science group for the benefit of those who wish to avail themselves to the fullest extent of the advantages offered at the University for the study of entomology, with special reference to its economic applications. It contains the substance of a liberal education in natural science and in supplementary subjects, with three years of major work in entomology, two of which
