For three years after the founding of the University, President Craig had charge of the department of Literature. In 1898. however, he was relieved by the election of -Miss Hubbell as instructor of English and Literature. which position she held until, on her resignation in 1900, Professor Corbin was elected as head of the department. This department is one of the most popular in the University, since more or less work in Literature is required in all the courses. It, like most of the departments, has grown and developed steadily with the University. An appropriation is made every year to this department which is expended for library books especially intended for the work in Literature. The work in this department consists of a study of the best of all English Literature and is divided into recitation and reading in the library, the latter of which constitutes the laboratory work for this department and is by far the greater part of the course. This department tends to cultivate a taste and an appreciation for only the best of literature. It also develops the criti- cal powers of at student so that, with this foundation and practice, gained from the study of the best authors' works. he may be able to intelligently interpret and criticise the current literature of his own time. The chief aim is general development and to help give the student the foundation required for any line of work, as well as the development of culture, --N. C. B. fl

IVJI'HftlSStll' lin 1395, at the founding of the University of Montana, Professor Scheueli took charge- of the department of Modern Languages together with that of Applied Science. These two departments remained under the same head until 1897, when they were divided, Professor Scheuch remaining in charge of the department of Modern Languages. This department has grown and developed hand in hand with the University. Courses in German, French and Spanish are offered, the last being' purely elective. A g'rea.t deal of attention is paid to grammar and reading, with some to conversation. A study of the rhetoric and composition of a foreign language gives to the student a broader variety of expression, both in form and voCabulal'y. lt is also possible to gain from the best examples of the literature of a people 21 knowledge of the manners, customs and smaller but significant and import- ant characteristics of that people that could not be gained so readily along any other line. The primary aim. however, of the work offered here is to give 3 reading' k,nowledg'e of the literature of the lang'uaig,re, together with a foundation such that the student. hy his own application, may he able to work out scientific articles in thcse languages. --N.

DPDPTJ U1h 5 NT-Dm 353 The department of Mechanical Engineering, or Applied Science, was pro- vided for at the founding of the University. At first it was, together with the department of Modern Languages, under the supervision of Professor Scheuch. VVhen the two departments were separated in 1897, Professor Wells was elected as head of the Mechanical Engineering department. Two years later he resigned to be succeeded by Professor VVescott in the autumn of 1899. ln 1904 Professor Wescott was succeeded, in turn, by Professor Sibley. a graduate of the University of California. The work in this department began with a course about as extensive as now constitutes the Freshman year of Mechanical Engineering. Starting out in this humble way in the basement of the old south side building. during those first years of the University, it has, during the past three years espe- cially, increased in enrollment in collegiate work over two hundred per cent.. until two-thirds of the men students of the University may now be found registered in its ranks. The courses in Mechanical Engineering are designed for those students who wish to become professional engineers, or to engage in any of the lines of manufacture and construction allied to the mechanical industries, --N.
