In January, 1902, the Dwight Art Building, erected at a cost of $75,000, the gift of Mr. John Dwight, was opened to classes. Fifteen courses are now ottered in art and archaeology, and the staff of instruction numbers five. Over three hundred students elect work each year, and of these several take their major studies in History of Art. Studio work is done in connection with nearly every course. The art library, begun in the earliest years with a number of valuable works, now includes about two thousand volumes. The large collection of casts, photographs, prints, and lantern slides has been carefully selected. More than nine thousand photographs are now used by the department.

Vermillion, South Dakota Department of Ifttftorp In the early years of the seminary a brief outline of general history and a course in ecclesiastical history appear among the “ornamental branches required of all students. United States History was from the first required for admission, and a commendable stress was laid on ancient and modern geography. Between i860 and 1870 a distinct advance was made by the introduction of a ‘‘constitutional textbook,” soon changing into a study of the Constitution of the United States; and, coincident with the coming of Miss Prentiss in 1866, the abolition of the older textbook system, and the extension of the general outline course to two years, mark a method of historical study much more liberal than was at all common in those days. Fhe “philosophy of history was emphasized, and the student was led to reflect.” Just as Miss Prentiss laid down the general lines for the two full years in mediaeval and modern history included in the present course, so Miss Soule, coming in 1896, gave the first great stimulus to the study of constitutional and economic history. It is the aim of the present department to continue the tradition established by Miss Prentiss and Miss Soule, adding those more specialized and advanced courses which the growth ot the college has made possible.

In 1854. a course in trigonometry was added. Four years later the entrance requirements were increased by the addition of algebra through simple equations, but not until 1886 does plane geometry appear in this list. Early in the eighties was introduced the series of stimulating text-books prepared by Professor Olney of the University of Michigan, and students were often encouraged to attempt the general geometry and calculus. Several years before the announcement of electives in the catalogue is lound the statement, “Further mathematical instruction is provided if desired.” In 1888, when the college department was added, the courses in mathematics taken by seminary students were often substantially in advance of the catalogue. At the present time the required work of the Freshman year may be followed by twenty elective courses, giving fifty hours of credit, and covering the field of mathematics from the elements of analytic geometry and calculus to modern geometry, applications of the calculus, and the theory of functions. Mount Holyoke was one of the first
