COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.
J
The College offers two parallel Courses of Instruction, e,ch requiring four years
for completion; the first, for the Degree Bachelor of Arts; the second, for th e Degree
Bachelor of Science. The Faculty ' recognize the fact that there is an increasing demand upon the Colleges of the country for directly practical studies, and they have
taken measures to make the B. Sc. course equal in all respects Lo the A. B. course.
All students, whether stud yi ng the Ancient Languages or not, may be regular, and the
Faculty require the same thoroughness in one cour,e as In the other. Let it be distinctly understood th at the B. Sc. course is not intended to accommodate those students
who fail in the A. B. course.
Any student who fails to meet satisfac torily all the requirements, especially examinations, of the departments in the A. B. course, must either
make up all deficiencies by extra work, or take the same class again, or give up all
hope of a diploma, and content himself with certificates from those departments in
whicb he can pass.
Tbe School heretofore known as the Preparatory Department has been reorganized,
and is now known as the two Introductory Classes. The young m en belonging to these
Classes are regarded as College students, are amenable to all College rules. and taught
by tbe Professors of the several departments. The average age of students of these
Classes for the past four years has been above sixteen, the number has been' constantly
iacreasing , and the grade of scholarship and deportment attained must be gratifying
alike to Faculty and patrons.

TO YOUNG TEACHERS OF CLASSICAL SCHOOLS.
Tbose who teach boys , and those who teach young men, are engaged in one great
work. and tbere should be full sy mpathy betwee n them. M ost of th e P rofessors in
our Colleges have spen t years in the school room, and are prepared to appreciate your
labors. Your pupils are divided into two unequal classes . The larger consists of t hose
wbo will finish thei r education wi th yo u. Tbey will go from your benches to the real
burdens of life. Th ey must enter the great world with such outfit as yo u give them .
This consideration makes an affecting appeal for them .
In so far as tec hnical teach.
ing is concerned, that which you do not teac h them, th ey may never kn ow.
There are other pupils who look forward to a College life . These form an interating element in yo ur school. T o give them the spec ial helps th ey need, while yo u
meet all the dem ands of a promiscuous sc hool, is not easy. But one must be done,
and the other must not be left undone. If these pupils are able hereafter to accomplith a successful College Course, for this power, they will be largely indebted to yo u .
Many a sad failure in College, beginning with intellectual work, and reac hin g to the
foundations of moral characte r, h as been the direct result of a careledS, or hurried pre..ratory course. The seeds of final success, or failure, may be planted in the inteliectual habits of a pupil before he enters his teens.
You will find in every sch ool som e sc holars of fine endowments. It will be your
pri.ilege to kindle and direct their intellectual aspirations. Y ou will be brought into
professional intercourse with parents who have sons of promise. You can urge such
parents to appreciate the gifts offered to their house hold, and to give their sons the
widest privileges they can use. See to it th at your pupils and yo ur patrons have a just
.ppreciation of what a College life implies and involves
Let them know that a College is not a place where idle young men can enter, and thus evade, for a few years
longer, the stern exactions of m anly life. It is not a place where the few yo ung men
who now have money in abunda nce ca n go to spend it plausibly. L et them kn ow it
means work, uniform growing work, which, in m any cases, opens out into harder
work beyond . This being taken for granted. yo u can let any earnest boy know that
be need not despair of working hi s way ' to College. Th ough depressed by poverty, if
he baa an intellige nt thi rst, which de m and s College privileges, he can win them sooner
or later. Your College Class may place you in a delicate position. Its m em bers, in
the natural impatience of youth, may press you to hurry them on. The parents may
feel compelled, in the straitness of th ese times, to calculate closely the annual expense,
and they may j oin in the demand of their sons. In thi s matter yo u must be satisfied
to have a clear conscience.

" No class of men do more for the republic of letters than those teac hers who train

educated classes of the community. The professio nal and the cultivated men of the
