The studies of the Senior Year arc in good degree class electives. 



In all studies, students are to be trained to accurate and ready 

 oral and written expression, and to use drawing as language. 

 Military tactics and military drill, as ordered, throughout the 

 course. Weekly exercises in compositions and declamations 

 throughout the course. The instruction in agricirfture and horti- 

 culture is both theoretical and practical. Instruction in the field 

 and manual training is given whenever such instruction and train- 

 ing will conduce to the progress of the student. Students are al- 

 lowed to work for wages during such leisure hours as are at their 

 command. A limited amount of work has been found to be bene- 

 ficial, but work that withdraws the energy of the student from his 

 studies is unprofitable to him. Students sometimes earn from fifty 

 to one hundred dollars per annum. Those who complete the course 

 receive the degree of Bachelor of Science, the diploma being signed 

 b}- the Governor of Massachusetts, who is president of the corpo- 

 ration. 



Regular students of the college may also, on application, become 

 members of Boston University, and, upon graduation, receive its 

 diplomas in addition to that of the college, thereby becoming en- 

 titled to all the privileges of the alumni.

 orally and in writing, upon the following subjects : English Gram- 

 mar, Geograph}', Arithmetic, Algebra through simple equations,
