The immediate government of the several Colleges is entrusted to their several faculties, each of which has its own organization, and regulates its own affairs, subject to the approval of the general University Faculty. In the College of Letters, Arts and Science, the candidates for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science are allowed a large measure of freedom in their choice of courses, but to insure against too high centralized courses, they are held to certain restrictions. All candidates for degrees in this College are required to file a major subject with the Dean at the beginning of the Sophomore year. The engineering curricula in the College of Mines and Engineering are all rather rigidly prescribed. The College offers four-year courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Science in civil, electrical, mechanical, mining engineering. Nine fields of work are found in the College of Agriculture from which the student may choose his major subject. In addition to completing his work satisfactorily, the candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture must have a signed certificate stating that he has had at least three months actual experience in agricultural work. The chief purpose of the College of Education is to enable the University to meet the needs of the state in the preparation, training and certification of teachers, supervisors and administrative school officers. am SIT zn.
