REMARKS. 



The full course of study occupies four years, and those who complete it 

 receive the degree of Bachelor of Science. 



The instruction in the languages is intended to qualify the graduates to 

 write and speak English with correctness and effect, and to translate French 

 and German with facility. The scientific course is extensive and thorough, and 

 aa practical as possible. Every student has the opportunity of becoming a 

 good chemist, a skillful surveyor, and a civil' engineer. At the same time, 

 every science is taught with constant reference to its applications to agriculture 

 and the wants of the farmer. 



The instruction in agriculture and horticulture, includes every branch of 

 farming and gardening which is practiced in Massachusetts, and is both theo- 

 retical and practical. Every topic is discussed thoroughly in the lecture- 

 room, and again in the plant-house or the field, where every student is obliged 

 to labor. The amount of required work, however, is limited to six hours per 

 week, in order that it may not interfere with study. Students are allowed to 

 do as much as they please, provided they maintain the necessary rank as schol- 

 ars. All labor is paid at the rate of from ten to twenty cents per hour, 

 according to its value. 



There is no provision for indigent students, beyond the opportunity to do 

 such work as may offer about the college and farm buildings, or in the field, 

 and it is hardly possible to earn more than from fifty to one hundred dollars 

 per annum, besides performing other duties. So far as is consistent with cir- 

 cumstances, students will be permitted to select such varieties of labor as they 

 may for special reasons desire to engage in. 



Those who pursue a select course attend recitations and lectures with the 

 regular classes; but persons, properly qualified and desiring special Instruction 

 in chemistry, civil engineering, agriculture, or horticulture, may make private 

 arrangements with the officers having charge of these departments. 



An expenditure of from ten to fifty dollars is necessary to provide furni- 

 ture, which may be purchased at reasonable rates, either new or second-hand, 

 and re-sold upon leaving, if desirable. 



On Sunday, students are expected to attend the chapel service and Bible- 

 class, which are conducted by the professor of moral science. While the
