HISTORY. HIS department, the oldest one of the University, was founded in 1842. It commenced in pov- erty and its struggles for existence were heroic. A rented building and two or three teachers constituted its original equipment. By the year 1860, a moderate endowment had been secured, and an ample .and suitable building erected. In the general wreck of war, the building, endowment, and nearly all its belongings went down. About all that remained was its prestige and the zeal and energy of a few friends and Alumni. At present the facilities as to buildings, apparatus and library are quite credita- ble, and the teaching force has recently been materially increased. Object — The aim of the better class of A merican Colleges is primarily to produce a well-rounded in- tellectual development. The curriculum embraces those branches that are conceded to contribute to this. Languages, history, science, philosophy and mathematics are fundamental subjects, and all are required if the student has a degree in view. At the end of the Sophomore year, certain options are allowed. This is done that mental adaptations, real or fancied, and certain subjects may be adjusted and encouraged. In no case, however, will options be permitted, unless the applicant has passed a satisfactory examination on the above subjects. This does not preclude a selection of subjects by those who have not a degree in view. Methods — The student is examined daily on portions of the text assigned. In addition, there are ex- aminations monthly, quarterly, or at other intervals, dependent upon circumstances, at which the student ' s knowledge of the subjects under consideration is tested. These are both oral and written. A final examin- ation determines his fitness for advancement to a higher class; when the nature of the subject demands, lectures are delivered. Graduate Course — For graduate students who desire to prosecute studies in particular branches, sev- eral courses have been arranged leading to higher degrees. The design is to lead to a broader knowledge of one field of thought or allied fields, and to aid and promote original research. The methods of study and investigation depend upon the subject.
