You  will  note  that  the  College  year  is  divided  into  two 
semesters  instead  of  the  usual  three  terms.  This  arrangement 
has  its  special  advantage  in  that  it  may  be  taught  thoroughly. 
Next  year  the  semesters  will  be  so  arranged  that  the  first 
semester  will  close  with  the  beginning  of  the  Christmas  holi- 
days. Thus  with  no  extensive  holidays  at  Thanksgiving  or 
Easter,  the  term’s  work  will  not  be  broken  into.  Then  sub- 
jects included  in  these  courses  are  designed  to  give  the  most 
practical  instruction ; at  the  same  time  the  course  as  a whole 
throughout  its  four  years  is  designed  to  give  a liberal  educa- 
tion. In  this  connection  note  that  the  subjects  of  German 
and  English  run  through  two  years  of  the  course.  It  is  held 
that  thorough  instruction  in  English  is  one  of  the  greatest 
needs  in  the  instruction  of  young  people  today,  and  no  student 
should  go  through  College  today  without  a reading  knowledge 
of  a modern  European  language.  Moreover  the  student  is 
given  a thorough  grounding  in  mathematics  and  the  funda- 
mental sciences  before  he  takes  up  the  more  technical  sub- 
jects. In  respect  to  class  work,  the  subjects  are  so  arranged 
that  there  is  a sufficient  amount  of  laboratory  work  to  enable 
the  student  to  become  familiar  with  the  manipulation  of  the 
materials  with  which  he  has  to  work,  and  the  principles  in- 
volved in  their  construction  or  arrangement.  They  are  design- 
ed, however,  not  so  much  to  afford  manual  skill  as  to  impart 
intellectual  training. 
The  course  in  Engineering  is  arranged  so  that  the  student 
may  become  proficient  in  one  of  three  different  branches  of  the 
profession,  namely  Mechanical  Engineering,  Civil  Engineer- 
ing and  Electrical  Engineering.  The  work  for  the  Electrical 
Engineer  is  the  same  as  that  for  the  Mechanical  Engineer  in 
all  but  the  fourth  year.  In  this  year  he  specializes  in  those 
subjects  bearing  especially  on  the  field  of  Electrical  Engineer- 
ing. The  Civil  Engineer  follows  the  same  course  as  the 
mechanicals  in  the  first  two  years  of  his  course,  but  in  the  last 
two  he  takes  those  subjects  that  pertain  especially  to  Civil 
Engineering. 
In  the  course  in  Household  Economics,  in  addition  to  the 
cultural  subjects,  those  subjects  are  included  that  have  a 
special  bearing  on  the  home  and  the  economics  of  its  manage- 
ment. These  are  self-explanatory. 
In  addition  to  these  courses  the  College  is  now  offering  in- 
struction in  the  subjects  of  Chemistry  and  Physics  as  applied 
to  everyday  life,  Domestic  Science,  Freehand  Drawing  and
