studies, are well qualified for making successful students 

 of the natural sciences. In order not to prevent those 

 who may not be able to go through the higher mathema- 

 tics of the full course, from enjoying the benefits of the 

 natural sciences of the whole course, the "Partial Scien- 

 tific and Practical Course" has been instituted. Students 

 in this course will pursue the same studies as those of the 

 full course, excepting analytical geometry, the differential 

 and integral calculus, and the higher mechanics. 



This is designed for such students as may wish to remain 

 for a limited period of time, in order to see the various 

 arts and operations of the Farm, Garden and Nursery; 

 and at the same time attend some of the classes in the Col- 

 lege, and thus get a general idea of the subjects taught, with- 

 out studying them with sufficient thoroughness to graduate. 



It is intended more particularly for such as may have be- 

 come too old, or who are too delicate to take the entire 

 course, but who wish to acquire special practical and gene- 

 ral scientific knowledge, preparatory to going upon a farm. 



It will be seen from the above, that the Agricultural 

 College of Pennsylvania is designed to occupy a place in 

 our educational system, not heretofore occupied, rather 

 than to come into competition with any Educational Insti- 

 tutions already in existence. Its course of studies and 

 practical operations are such that the student may, with 

 profit, go through the last two years of the latter, either 

 before or after he has completed the ordinary course of a 

 literary College.
