SCHOLASTICS ARRANGEMENTS. iss 



the three academic years of study of candidates for the 

 degree of Bachelor of Science may be passed. 



It seems reasonable to suppose that in the event of a 

 Professorship of Forestry or of Forest Science being estab- 

 lished in the University, similar arrangements might be 

 made for students passing satisfactorily through this class, 

 being also allowed to graduate in science. 



In conjunction with such arrangements, or irrespective 

 of them, arrangements might be made for the study of 

 forestry being pursued in the Watt Institute. 



The advantages of such an arrangement, amongst others, 

 would be these : It is a popular institution of compre- 

 hensive technological study, many of the classes of which 

 might be made subservient to the study of forestry by 

 students giving their attention to this ; and such a degree 

 of completeness might be thus given to a prescribed 

 programme of forestal studies that, without detriment to 

 any other course of studies followed there in some of the 

 same classes, a fully equipped School of Forestry might 

 be represented as one of the constituent parts of the 

 institution. It would allow of expansion being easily 

 given, temporarily or permanently, to the course of study 

 in forestry, if this should at any time be deemed expedient, 

 or of contraction or change in this, if such should appear 

 advisable ; and that without requiring radical or funda- 

 mental change, or such modification as would justify 

 captious censorious remark. 



The fees charged, if in accordance with the fees charged 

 in the other classes, would be such as might be met with- 

 out difficulty by students of limited means; while the 

 hours of study, if like those of other classes, being in the 

 evening, would suit the convenience of those who are 

 engaged in daily labour; and others, who, from any cause, 

 might prefer studying accessory subjects in the course of the 

 day in the University, which is adjacent, would have the 

 opportunity of doing so, while the proximity of the 

 Museum of Science and Art, with its invaluable collection
