In both mathematics and physics a full year more of work is offered than in the ordinary small college, and the courses in the two subjects are so co-ordinated that each supplements and aids the other, and the student is enabled to obtain a comprehensive view of the entire field. 19

In the preparation for the medical profession the courses in Chemistiy and Biology are prescribed in order to introduce the student to the more strictly practical work of materia med-ica, therapeutics, surgery, etc. If the student's objective be teaching, and his preference or adaptability lead him into these branches, lie receives modern training in laboratory methods as well as in the facts and theories of the sciences. The aim, in short, is to lay a broad foundation in these departments of natural science. Rev. Ai.kxanider w. Crawford, M. A.. Ph. I).. P ofessor of Philosophy and Psychology. B.

The courses in Philosophy and Psychology endeavor to give the student a rationalized account of the self and its various experiences. Psychology gives an insight into mental processes; the history of Philosophy shows the continuity and development of thought from the beginning to the present time; while logic, ethi-s, and aesthetics give a systematic view of the activities of the self. Finally, metaphysics, leading up to the philosophy of religion, gives a comprehensive view of the self in its widest relations to the world and to God. The design throughout is to show the essential nature of man, and his place in the world. 20
