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 marticulate, which will at the end
of six 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), 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 six years to
the two degree of B. S. and C. E.:

  • First Year

    Mathematics 1A, Eng. Lit. 1A, German 1A, Chemistry 1B.
