Columbia University, pedagogically, consists of a college and a university. The college is Columbia 

 College, founded in 1754. The university consists of the Faculties of Law, Medicine, Applied Science, Phil- 

 osophy, Political Science and Pure Science. 



I. THE COLLEGE. 

 The college has a curriculum of four years' duration, lead- 

 ing to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Particulars may be 

 lound in the annual Circular of Information. 



II. THE UNIVERSITY. 



Pedagogically, the Faculties of Law, Medicine, Applied 

 Science, Political Science, Philosophy and Pure Science, 

 taken together, constitute the university. These faculties 

 offer advanced courses of study and investigation, espect- 

 ively, in (a) private or municipal law, ib) medicine, (c) ap- 

 plied science, (d) history, economics and public law, (e) phil- 

 osophy, philology and letters, and (/) mathematics and 

 natural science. Courses of study under one or more of 

 these faculties are open to members of the senior class in 

 the college and to all students who have successfully pur- 

 sued an equivalent course of undergraduate study to the 

 close of the junior year. These courses lead, through the 

 Bachelor's degree, to the university degrees of Master of 

 Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. 



In addition to a number of specially endowed fellowships 

 and scholarships twenty-four university fellowships ( of the 

 value of ^500 and free tuition) and thirty university scho ar 

 ships (giving free tuition) are awarded annually. 



III. THE PEOFESSIONAL SCHOOLS.

 of medicine and surgery, leading to the degree of Doctor ot 

 Medicine. 



3. The School of Mines, established in 1864, offers courses 

 of study, each of four years' duration and each leading to an 

 appropriate professional degree in mining engineering and 

 metallurgy. 



4. The School ot Chemistry, Engineering and Architect- 

 ure, set off from the School of Mines in 1896, offer respect-

The Journal of Qeology is a semi-quarfeerly magazine of 112 pages or upwards, printed in an unusu- 

 ally excellent style and freely illustrated, particularly with photographic reproductions. It embraces in its 

 scope not only geology, but the closely allied sciences, especially the later phases of physiography and petrol- 

 ogy. It endeavors to set forth the most recent investigations in the various departments of the science, em- 

 bracing new working methods, new principles and new criteria of discrimination, together with synoptical 

 reviews of the present state of knowledge and opinion on mooted questions. International comparisons and 

 correlations are especially invited, as well as discussions of systematic, dynamic and theoretic geology. A 

 special feature of the Journal which has met with warm commendation is its "Studies for Students,^' a series 

 of critical expositions of principles, criteria, classifications and working methods for the benefit of advanced 

 students and young geologists.
