I4 OHERLIN COLLEGE H1-O-HI. secret fraternities have no place, the cordial relation between teach- ers and students which makes cases of discipline about as rare as robins in January, the eschewing of' tobacco, and the standard of scholarship indicated below. Her dominant ideas have been so widely adopted by other colleges that she is rapidly ceasing to be peculiar. That her glories are not all in the past, let the recent inventions and publications of her graduates, the missionary volun- teers, and her present drawing power-bringing more students into Ohio than Harvard brings into Massachnsetts-testify. The college now provides three courses of study-the Classical, the Philosophical, and the Literary which receives no degree. In the Fall of '91 the Philosophical Course will be made equal in quantity of work with the Classical, and a Scientific Course of equal length will be unfolded. For admission to any of these courses four years of study will be required. These requirements are equal to those of' any American university, and distinctly in advance ofthose ofmost institutions. especially for the Scientific Course. In the three full courses-Classical, Philosophical and Scientific -prescribed studies occupy the entire Freshman year, and one-third of the time during the three remaining years. It is thus rendered certain that every student will make definite attainments in essen- tial branches, and at the same time enjoy ample electives, as is shown in the following table of In the several departments of' study: msg.

The Literary Course stands by itself. It has seemed important to the faculty and trustees to provide a course which should be well arranged and atTord work ofthe best quality for those students who hesitate to begin one of the full courses on account of the length of time required for its completion. They have, therefore, arranged hereafter to give a two years' diploma to all students who have performed the work required for admission to college in either the classical, the philosophical or the scientific course, and who complete two years of' college work, including the following sub-courses: Chfiemistry I., Logic, Botany I., Psychology I., History III., and Et lies. It is only necessary here to mention the Theological Seminary with its one hundred and six students, the Conservatory of Music and the great preparatory schools, which help to make Oberlin big as well as great, and add to the general attractions of' the college. All in all, the Oberlin idea is applied Christianity, and is well ex- pressed by a line from one of Wesley's hymns: To serve the present age.
