THOMAS MESSINGER DROWN, LL. D., President.

THE UNIVERSITY OFFERS THE FOLLWING COURSES:

I. IN GENERAL LITERATURE. 1. THE CLASSICAL Course. 2. THE LATIN-Scientific CouRSE. 3. THE COURSE IN SCIENCE AND LETTERS.

II. IN TECHNOLOGY. 1. THE COURSE in Civil EngiNEERING. 2. THE COURSE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. 3, 4. THE COURSES IN MINING ENGINEERING AND METALLURGY. 5. THE COURSE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. 6. THE COURSE IN ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY.

III. COMBINED COURSES. The authorities of the University, being convinced that many men who desire eventually to study a technical profession, would appreciate a preliminary literary education have decided to offer to such persons an opportunity of combining culture studies with those which belong to practical life. Any student who wishes to do so, will be permitted to substitute such technical studies as are approved by the faculty for a portion of the regular work of the Junior and Senior years. At the end of the four years he will receive the literary degree appropriate to his course. If he then chooses to complete the technical course in which the substituted studies belong, he can do so, and may expect to receive the technical degree in from one to two years, depending upon the course chosen and the diligence of the student. This opportunity will be valuable to many who may have use for the technical knowledge which may be acquired within the four years, even where they are unable to remain for the full technical course; while to those who can avail themselves of the combined courses, it offers a means for acquiring a wellrounded training, which will fit them for more effective work and for greater success in the future.

Remarkable for its wonderful power of condensation, force and insight; its fascinating literary style; its unequaled presentation of the social, political, industrial and financial history of the American people from Colonial days to the present time.

"McMaster's School History of the United States is not only an admirable literary performance; it is also a workable textbook whose use will result in clear comprehension of the sequence and relative importance of the shifting scenes of our history. I predict that it will meet the heartiest welcome from teachers that has ever greeted a school history."-CHARLES W. COLE, Supt. of Schools, Albany, N. Y.
