REQUIRED AND ELECTIVE STUDIES

I. Candidates for the degree of A. B., after pursuing a required course of Greek, Latin, Mathematics, English and Hygiene through the Freshman year, are allowed to elect a certain number of their studies, the number increasing in the later years of the College course until the Senior year, when all studies, except those of the Military department, are elective. Each student is required to take such a number of Electives as will bring his total work up to fifteen recitation or lecture hours per week, not including those of Military Drill.

The abuse to which a system of perfectly free electives is liable is avoided by the requirement of a certain number of studies which are intended to secure some completeness and symmetry of discipline, while the number of electives permitted gives room for the development of special talents and the following out of individual predilections. The electives are offered in such a way as to permit extended study of any subject or group of subjects of which the student may wish to make a specialty. For example, Greek, Latin, English and Mathematics may be pursued through most of the time during the four years; French and German each for three years; the Natural Sciences, History, and the Social, Intellectual and Moral Sciences, for from two to three years.

The electives embrace studies in Greek and Latin, French and German, including studies in Comparative Literature; the higher Mathematics, including Calculus and the New Geometry; History; Political and Social Science; English Literature; Chemistry, theoretical and applied, with laboratory work; Physics; Geology; Botany; Zoology; Biology; Anthropology; Metaphysics; the History of Philosophy; the Theory of Fine Art.

Other subjects, in which classes are likely to be small, like AngloSaxon and Italian, will be offered occasionally, at such intervals as to give all students an opportunity to take them at some time during their college course.

II. Candidates for the degree of Ph. B. will have the same required courses and the same electives as candidates for the degree of A. B., except that, omitting Greek, they will begin the study of French and German one year earlier and will select in the second year from the more advanced electives.

III. Persons who may desire to take a short academic course preparatory to the study of medicine may take the first two years of the course leading to the degree of Ph. B., with any of the electives of the entire department for which they have the requisite preparation.

IV. Students in any of the other departments may, by special permission of the Faculty, take a limited number of electives from the departments of Engineering and Chemistry.

V. It is assumed that the choice of electives will be made by the students with reference to some clear, deliberate purpose, and as the result of consultation with members of the Faculty. In all cases the natural sequence of studies must be observed. The Faculty reserve the right to exclude a student from any course for which his previous studies have not properly prepared him.

VI. Arrangements are made between the Academic and Medical departments by which a candidate for the degree of A. B. or Ph. B. may count certain Medical studies of the first year as equivalents for part of his last year's Academical studies, and in this way may abridge by one year the time necessary for taking his degrees in both departments.

THE CHOICE OF ELECTIVES

The studies of Freshman year are all prescribed. For Classical students they are: Greek, Latin, Mathematics, English and Hygiene; for Literary-Scientific students Greek is replaced by French.

With Sophomore year the system of Elective studies begins. It is designed to start students upon those different paths which lead to specialization in different branches. It is important therefore that studies should be chosen with a view to a definite goal. The Prescribed studies of Sophomore year are English and one Modern Language. The Elective studies of Sophomore year are Greek, Latin, Elementary German, Elementary or Intermediate French, History, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Botany. If Classical studies are the goal, Greek and Latin should be chosen, and German would be a valuable accessory. If it is the aim to emphasize the Literary studies, German and French should be elected. Mathematics is the best preparation for physics, and Chemistry for the biological sciences.

Every student should endeavor to secure a working knowledge of at least one modern language, and no language should be pursued for less than two years.

The studies of Junior year should continue the lines elected in Sophomore year, and the studies of Senior year should complete the same, but opportunity should be secured for the enrichment presented in the Philosophical, Political, Social and Historical studies. In this way a relatively high degree of specialization may be combined with the advantages of liberal studies. No student, however, will be allowed to enter a course when in the opinion of the instructor his previous studies have not properly prepared him for it.

The requirement of Military Instruction has recently been extended so as to include Seniors.
