that siXteen students shall be provided for and those students taking the full course in Domestic Arts and Science will have the preference. For this term a short course of tvventy lessons has been provided and Will be open to such special students as may elect it. The short course in dairying is one of practical instruction in modern methods of dairy and creameryiwork, supplemented by as much theoretical Work as may be found necessary, it being our aim to prepare those completing this course for practical Work in this line. To those vvho complete the course and pass all the required examinations in a satisfactory manner, a certincate will be issued setting forth the Work completed and the quality ofthe same. Instruction begins February ISt, and Will continue eight weeks. SCHEDULE OF THE COURSE:-Chemistry of dairying, 20 lectures, Laboratory Work in dairy chemistry, I6 periods, Practical butter and cheese making, 32 periods, Animal nutrition, IO lectures, Feeding dairy stock, 5 lectures, Diseases of Domestic Animals QVeterinary sciencej, 20 lectures, Steam boiler and engine, 5. lectures, Blacksmithing and fitting, IO periods, Creamery accounts and cal- culations, 5 lectures. The Short Course in Agriculture Will, We hope, in some measure meet the needs of those vvho are able to give but little time to obtaining an education, but Who can and would like to devote two months, during the winter season, to the pursuit of practical Work along lines which Will be of great benefit in the every-day life on the ranch. These courses are open to anyone who may desire to enter. They are for the farmer and the farmer's son alike. The fact that a man is a little along in years need not prevent him from taking these courses if' he so desires. Instruction begins February I, and continues until March 2o. HATCH s'rA'r1oN. SCHEDULE OF THE COURSE:-Practical agriculture, 25 lectures, Chemistry, 2o lec- tures, Irrigation engineering, 25 lectures, Veterinary science, 20 lectures. Total, go lectures during the Hrst five weeks of' the course. Botany and horticulture, IO lectures, Entomology, IO lectures, Book-keeping, 6 lectures, Iron work, IO exercises.

Changes gin the University 2.0.0.0 requirements for admission tobthe University for students entering in August, IQOI, Will be nearly the same that have been in force for the past tvvo years. The students taking the Liberal Arts course must come prepared with three years of Latin. This is noted as an exception, since heretofore only two years of Latin have been required. The principal change in the Liberal Arts course is a larger povver of election on the part of the student, but under the direc- tion of the Faculty Committee. It is the intention that students Who take this course may not elect studies here and there at random but may select studies along one particular line of research. The distinguishing change in the School of Mines is an increase in the number' of hours of Geology required. The changes in the School of Mechanical Engineering have been many and important. Instruction in technical subjects, such as Theory of Steam Boilers, Kinematics, Theory of Valve Gears, Dynamometers and Measurement of Power, Steam Engine Design and experimental Work in the shop, has been very largely increased. The most srtiking change in the Normal course is this: Students entering the Normal course in IQOI Will be required to com- plete an equivalent to the Liberal Arts course or a course in General Science in order to obtain a High School certificate. Candidates for the Grammar Grade certificates will be required to complete an equivalent to the Freshman and Sophomore years in the Schools of Liberal Arts or General Science, together with professional Work in Pedagogy and teaching, as set forth in the registerg The School of Domestic Arts and Science has been created during the last year. The principal feature of this course is instruction in practical cookeryand sewing. The equipment for this department Will accommodate but a limited number of students It is intended A 16
