The college course required for graduation extends over four 

 years for graduates of the School of Agriculture, viz., the fresh- 

 man, the sophomore, the junior, and the senior years. For the 

 first two years the lines of study are prescribed, the subjects 

 being chosen with a view of giving a good foundation for the 

 work which follows. For the last two years the work is mostly 

 optional and gives the student an opportunity to take work 

 along lines for which he has a special aptitude. 



In the College of Agriculture a part of the work is taken in 

 the College of Science, Literature, and Arts. Such work 

 consists of higher algebra, drawing, geology, German, French, 

 rhetoric, trigonometry, botany, zoology, psychology, English 

 literature, logic, philosophy, pedagogy, and history.
