GRADUATE COURSES.
School of Mathematics.—The graduate course will consist of selected
studies in the Higher Algebra, Modern Higher Geometry, the Infinitesimal
Calculus and some of its applications, or in the elements of
Quaternions.
School of Natural Philosophy.—For graduate studies the reader
is referred to the Course in Practical Physics, page 31.
School of General and Industrial Chemistry.—The principal
part of the graduate course will consist of practical laboratory work on
subjects of original investigation; advanced reading may also be prescribed,
especially in the shape of the bibliography of particular topics,
to be looked up from various sources and condensed by the student.
School of Natural History and Geology.—In this School no fixed
course of study will be laid down for graduates. Subjects will be selected
from one or more of the branches included in the School, and assigned
to the students. As far as possible, original research will be required in
the treatment of the subjects chosen.
School of Practical Astronomy.—A prescribed course in this
School, to be agreed upon in a conference of the Professors interested,
will be considered as the equivalent of the Graduate Course in either
Mathematics or Natural Philosophy for graduates of these schools.
N. B.—Graduation in a School is prerequisite to admission to the advanced
Graduate Course of that School.
N. B.—Students pursuing literary studies will, in many cases, find it
advantageous to take the course in International and Constitutional Law,
Prof. Gilmore, (page 41). Those pursuing scientific studies will, in
many cases, find it advantageous to take the courses in Applied Mathematics,
Prof. Thornton, (page 42); Physiology, Dr. Cabell, (page 38);
and Zoology and Botany, Prof. Page, (page 45).
