IS ALBION OOLLSOhB In the private laboratory of the instructor there is constantly carried on outside work in the examination of raw materials for manufacturing purposes, such as clays, marls, peat, coal, gold and silver ores, iron and steel, sanitary and mineral waters. GROUPING OF COLLEGE WORK Graduates of accredited high schools will be admitted to our Collegiate department without examination, and, in addition to our required work in English, will be permitted to enter any of our courses for which they are fitted, due regard being had to the necessary sequence of courses. Each department will prescribe the order in which courses must be taken. Detailed information concerning entrance requirements will be found on page 60. In harmony with the progressive movement of educational affairs, Albion College will confer the degree of Bachelor of Arts upon all persons who come with suitable preparation and who complete in a manner satisfactory to the faculty a sufficient number of courses to credit them with 120 hours of college work, together with 240 points (see page 55), subject to such limitations of selec- tion as stated below. An hour of college work is understood to mean one hour of recitation or lecture work per week throughout one semester. While the Faculty of Albion College approves the elective system, it has seemed wise to somewhat restrict elections until the student has come fully in touch with his surroundings and has gained some maturity of mind. Freshmen and Sophomores are therefore required to make their election according to the following plan: English I. — Three hours throughout the year. Required of all Freshmen. English II.— Two hours throughout the year. Required of all Sophomores. English Bible— Two hours throughout one year. Required for graduation.

20 ALBION COLLEGE ENROLLMENT— WORK OF CLASS OFFICERS. 1. The first day of each semester is devoted to the work of enrollment. 2. Each Freshman and Sophomore is assigned to some member of the faculty who will serve as his Class Officer for the year. It is the duty of the student to consult with the Class Officer in the selection of his list of studies, and he may consult him on any mat- ter regarding which he needs advice. Each study ticket must be made out by the Class Officer and must bear his signature before class tickets will be issued. Each student is required, at the begin- ning of his Junior year, to select some department in which he shall take work continuously during the remainder of his course. In conformity with this requirement each student, beginning with his Junior year, shall have as his adviser the professor in charge of the department in which he desires to specialize. This officer will assist the student in the selection of his courses and serve as his general adviser throughout the remainder of his college course. 3. The student will take his entrance blank to the treasurer, who will furnish him with a receipt for the money paid, retaining the study ticket. 4. Immediately afteT the first succeeding chapel exercise the student will call at the office and receive cards entitling him to admission to classes. 5. Failure on the part of any student to enroll on the regular day for registration involves an additional fee of one dollar.
