A very thorough course is given. Professor Buchanan, Dean of this department, is a man of national repu- tation as a mathematician, having been connected for twenty years with the United States Coast and Geodetic service. We have perfected arrangements with one of the best Technical Schools of the North, in accordance with which they will take all our graduates of this department and give them employment in the line they have chosen, paying them wages for their work, thus giving unusual opportunities to such young men to more thoroughlv prepare them- selves by actual experience for their life ' s work. College Department. — The faculty consists of ten members. Four years ' courses lead to the degrees of B.S. and A.B. Graduate courses lead to the degrees of A.M. and Ph.D. No university in the South has a higher standard for admission. Written examinations are required where cer- tificates from accredited schools are not presented. However, we offer special accommodations to students prepared for college in most of their studies, but deficient in a few things. A student can enter the University conditioned on anything which he can make up in Castle Heights, while the regular college work is being done. This involves no extra expense. Law School. — Courses leading to the degrees of LL.B. and IX. M. are offered. This department has been an acknowledged success for nearly sixty years. The best text-books of the most famous authors only are used. These books are actually read by the students of the school under the immedi- ate direction of the faculty. There are daily recitations and moot courts. Graduates of this school are thorough- ly prepared for practice. School of Oratory. — Faculty consists of seven instructors. A three vears ' course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Oratory. Sixteen courses of instruction offered here afford a training for breadth, thoroughness and artistic finish which is not excelled by the best professional schools of the East. This school gives the student a thorough preparation for the public profession, as well as developing his art as an orator. Conservatory of Music. — The Faculty consists of ten instructors. A four years ' course is planned leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music, and including a thorough work in harmonv, plaving, theorv, history, etc. The director, Herr Eugene Feuchtinger, of Hiram, Ohio, is known as one of the most successful German-American mu- sic teachers of this country. Credit for Conservatory work will be given in the University. The most modern and improved methods will be followed, as the Leschetizsky for piano, the Italian for voice, and the Mason and Vergil methods where applicable. The success of the first year ' s work has been most flattering.
