26 l he ( ap anb (ffivnttt. ©Jj£ ( nQ xxz2vxn$ chooU It is expected that students shall have accomplished a full course of Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, Acoustics, Optics, Astronomy, Botany, Chem- istry, Mineralogy, Geology, Histology, Systematic Divinity, Greek, Italian, Metaphysics, Statute L,aw and Short Hand, before entering this school, and the catalogue says so, or words to that effect. He is then considered prepared to learn something. He probably does. The students of this school are a most enterprising lot, and gifted with an amount of perseverance which is astounding. No obstacle discourages them. They have even been known to wait for the Professor until he came. On one occasion when they were occupied with the Practical adjustment of the Transit, they covered themselves with glory, by digging up with one of the legs of the tripod a whole ground-hog. This has been their greatest achievement in mining. In calculating the contents of certain vitreous vessels, locating simple and compound curves and problems relating to them, and tracing contours — of a certain kind, their work has been most varied and success- ful. They can lay out land and almost anything else — indeed they have been known to lay themselves out.

®he ( ap ani dxvtx. 25 he gtcietxtxfxc £h %. Last year the Cap and Gown stated that the Scientific department was on a boom. The boom time is over now, and the schools have settled down into unrippled prosperity. Probably the best work has been done in the School of Philosophy. Here the students have wrestled with ' ' Mechanism and Personality ' ' until some of them almost understand the preface. In chemistry the school has been seriously handicapped by having the medical department on the floor above it. The students of this department are in the habit of singing ' ' Boom-ta-ra ' ' to keep up their courage during certain of their mystic rites, and the disciples of Remsen down below are distracted thereby. These same embryo doctors are an absent-minded lot, and leave the little souvenirs consisting of muti- lated human remains which they intended to present to their friends in all sorts of unexpected places, as for example the wash bottle of the unsuspect- ing chemist. Notwithstanding these very serious drawbacks the Chemists have done well. So well that a rumor that one of them had passed, or at least thought he could pass, a final examination, was received with credulity by the Mountain. The inclemency of the weather during the spring and summer has pre- vented the class in Astronomy from discovering any new planets. The class in Physics has done beautiful work. Already he knows the difference between acoustics and optics, and the professor seriously hopes that by commence- ment day he will recognize a prism when he sees it. He has already passed mechanics, having locked the professor in one day.
