The candidate is expected to read all the books named, and to give evidence in his composition that he is acquainted with the important parts of the book from which the subject of his composition is taken, and with the life of the author.

The entrance examinations in 1902 and 1903 will be based upon the following books:

For reading and practice: The Merchant of Venice, Pope's Iliad, books 1, 6, 22 and 24, The Coverley Papers in the Spectator, Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield, Scott's Ivanhoe, Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans, Lowell's Vision of Sir Launfal, George Eliot's Silas Marner. For class study and practice: Macbeth, Milton's Comus, L'Allegro and Il Penseroso, Burke's Speech on Conciliation with America, Macaulay's Essays on Milton and Addison.

4. HISTORY. A student may offer either of the following courses for examination:

a. The histories of the United States, Greece and Rome as outlined in the best text books for high schools.

b. The histories of the United States and England as outlined in the best text books for high schools.

5. MATHEMATICS: A good working knowledge of Arithmetic, including fundamental operations (particularly on common and decimal fractions), compound numbers, percentage, interest and extraction of square root. Problems that are much more easily solved by algebra are not included here. The whole of a high school algebra and a college algebra to quadratics. The first three books of Plane Geometry.

6. GERMAN: A thorough knowledge of the inflections, including the most common strong verbs; acquaintance with the ordinary laws of German syntax; such facility in translation as is gained by a careful study of at least 150 duodecimo pages of ordinary modern German prose; ability to translate into German simple sentences based on the passage assigned for examination; accurate pronunciation.

7. FRENCH: Similar to the requirements stated for German, save that the applicant should have read at least 200 duodecimo pages of ordinary modern French prose.

It is recommended that the preparation for the entrance requirements in German and French be extended over two full school years, with four re

citation periods per week, so as to allow time for short lessons with dictation exercises, oral practice and frequent reviews.

8. PHYSICS: One year of Physics may be offered for entrance to the courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Philosophy and Bachelor of Science. The applicant must have completed an elementary course such as Gage's "Principles of Physics" or its equivalent. Certificates from High Schools and Academies will materially lessen the scope of the entrance examination.

Grouping of Subjects.

All candidates for admission to the Freshman Class must offer preparation in Mathematics, in English and in History. Two additional subjects must then be offered. The choice of subjects will depend upon the course of study to be followed. These subjects are:

1. For the degree of Bachelor of Arts, the requirement in Greek and the requirement in Latin.

2. For the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, the requirement in Greek or in Latin and the requirement in German, in French, or in Physics.

3. For the degree of Bachelor of Science, the requirement in German or in French and the requirement in Physics.

When applicants have had no preparation in Physics or in German and French, the requirement may be satisfied by pursuing the corresponding courses in college. But these studies must be taken in addition to the requirements for the degree.

Examinations.

All candidates for admission into the Freshman Class in any course leading to a degree must assemble in Gerrard Hall at 9 A. M. Monday, September 8, for preliminary registration. They will there be assigned to rooms for examination.

Arrangements have been made with certain schools in the state whereby examinations for admission may be held in May also, at the schools.

A student who fails to pass in any subject required for admission will be conditioned in that subject. Such conditions must be removed before the beginning of the Sophomore year. He will receive no final mark in the department in which such condition occurs until the condition is removed. Nor will he be admitted to the work of the Sophomore year in any department until all entrance conditions are removed.

Admission to Advanced Standing.

A candidate for advanced standing may be admitted to the Sophomore, Junior or Senior class, with or without complete examination. He is subject not only to the examinations required of candidates for admission into the Freshman Class, but to special examinations both in all the required studies already pursued by the class which he desires to enter, and in as many elective studies as would have been required of him as a member of that class. When satisfied with the apparent fitness of the candidate, the examining committee may, in spite of his deficiencies in some studies, admit him to an advanced class; but a candidate so admitted is not recommended for a degree until his deficiencies are made good. The examining committee may accept also, with proper restrictions, the official report of work satisfactorily completed at a college or university of good standing in place of an examination upon such previous work.

A candidate for advanced standing should present himself for examination on the same days and at the same hours with candidates for admission into the Freshman Class.

Admission of Students Not Candidates for a Degree.

A person who desires to take up a course of study, without becoming a candidate for a degree, may be admitted into the College upon the presentation of a certificate from the college or university last attended, or by passing satisfactory examinations on at least three subjects required for entrance. English must be one of the subjects offered. A candidate so admitted enjoys the same privileges with other members of the college, and is subject to the same regulations.
