20 ALBION COLLEGE lege, but reside in communities which are not provided witn high school advantages. 2. In many of the graded schools of the State, the work is not sufficiently extended to prepare the student for admis- sion into college classes. 3. Many of the high schools of the State do not provide instruction that will prepare for all lines of college work. Some have only an English course, others English and Scien- tific courses, etc. Many students desire to study Latin, Greek, German, etc., in preparation for college, who are unable to find adequate provision for the same in their home graded schools. Candidates for admission into the Preparatory depart- ment must have a knowledge of the primary branches, in- cluding geography, arithmetic, grammar and spelling, so far as will fit them to take up the work of the first year. Start- ing with this preparation, those who are studious will be able to complete the course prescribed in four years and to enter the Freshman class. For advanced standing, examina- tions must be passed on that part of the course for which credit is given, or on work equivalent thereto, unless certifi- cates are brought for the same from accredited schools.
