The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural College, Designed by M. G. Bindesboll 
the very beginning takes into account the special requirements of the 
various subjects. This preliminary course is obligatory for all stu¬ 
dents, irrespective of their previous education, and lasts, in the case 
of the majority of the students, for one year and a half. On the other 
hand, the full period of study varies greatly in the different groups, 
according to the extent and thoroughness of the course. Veterinarians 
and foresters study for five and a half years, cadastral surveyors 
for four and three quarter years, farmers two and two thirds years, 
and horticulturists two and a half years. In reality the period of 
study lasts much longer in the case of a great many students. It is a 
well known fact that it is exceedingly difficult to study according to 
any one fixed plan. The periods given for cadastral surveyors and 
foresters include ten months and two years respectively of practical 
work at the subject outside the College, while farming and horticul¬ 
tural students, who have the shortest period of theoretical education, 
are expected to acquire a practical training in their subjects sufficient 
to be recognized by the College, and lasting from two to three and two 
to four years respectively. 
Besides these general courses of study, the College provides spe¬ 
cialized continuation courses for students who have passed the final 
examinations at the termination of a general course. To these special 
courses students from other schools are admitted if they can give evi¬ 
dence of possessing the requisite knowledge and qualifications. 
The College rejoices in the possession of most admirable collec¬ 
tions, among which the library with about 70,000 volumes, the zoolog¬ 
ical museum, arranged by Professor Boas, Professor Westermann’s 
collection of agricultural products, and Professor Boggild’s collection
