4 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. world over means breadth and thoroughness and catholicity of scholarly training, -the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Thus far in this University, as for years in all the most reputable American colleges, thedegrce of Bachelor of Arts has signilied that its bearer had been well instructed in all essential mathematical, physical, and philosophical sciences, and also that he had acquired a sutllcient mastery of two ancient languages, Greek and Latin, and of at least two modern languages. French and German, to equip him for a. personal understanding of the civilization he inherits, and to qualify him to con- tribute ln some worthy manner to its further development and diffusion. Doubtless all this will be changed as soon as it is once completely demonstrated that mankind is only an accidentally varied and improved branch of the animal kingdom, whose antiquity has no particular signili- cance, and whose duty and destiny are questions of less importance than the problem of running a steam-engine with the least outlay of plthecoid cerebration, and with the least destruction of pithecold organisms. In response to inquiries as to the procurabllity of the papers which have appeared in the Uuivlcnsrrv Yann Book on the Cosmology of Homer and of the Ancients, it is proper to state that our supply is ex- hausted, but that The True Key can be ordered of Messrs. Ginn da Heath of this city, who publish an illustrated edition for schoolsg while the other papers, with the exception of the one printed in the present volume, can be found in the just-issued work, Paradise Found: The Cradle of the Human Race at the North Pole, London, Sampson Low 85 Co.: Boston and New York, Houghton, Milllin, dz Co. Three other related discussions may be found in the same volume,-one on Honier's Abode of the Gods, one on his Cosmical Water-system, and one on his view of the Nocturnal Movement of the Sun. It is hoped that scholars will here tind proof that the study of Greek antiquity and Greek literature has still an indispensable value in all modern humanistic edu- catlon claiming to be based upon a correct view of human nature and human history. . By a unanimous vote, at their last annual meeting, the trustees of Dickinson College, the second oldest college in Pennsylvania, opened the privileges of the institution to women upon the same terms as to men. This action is the more historic and significant from the fact that this is the last of the forty-five colleges and universities of ,the oldest nationally organized Church in the United States, to plant itself upon the plat- form of the joint education of the sexes. Since the event here noticed, the cause of dis-joint education has sutfered an even more memorable defeat in Adelbert College, Cleveland, O.
