HUMANISTIC STUDIES.

Students, who have enjoyed the benefits of sound preliminary
training in good high schools, are advised in all cases to enrich and
liberalize their professional course by the introduction of humanistic
studies.

Under the elective system of this University it is easy to plan a
schedule of work for a well prepared matriculate, which will at the
end of five years give him in addition to his professional degree the
general culture degree of Bachelor of Science or of Bachelor of Arts.
The additional courses required are two languages (elected from
French, German, and Latin), one historical science (History, or Economics,
or English Literature, or Biblical History and Literature), and one
philosophical science (Logic, or Ethics, or Psychology).

The following is a sample schedule leading at the end of five
years
to the two degrees of B. S. and C. E.

  • I. Mathematics 2, Chemistry 1, French 2B.

  • II. Physics 1, English Literature 2B, German 2B, Drawing 1.

  • III. Civil Engineering 1, Mechanics 1, Logic 1B, Drawing 2.

  • IV. Civil Engineering, 2, Mechanics 2, Geology 1, Drawing 3.

  • V. Civil Engineering 3, Mechanics 3, Electives, Thesis.

The courses printed in italics are those added from the College.

Only students of good training and robust intelligence are advised
to attempt the double course.
