ARRANGEMENT OF CLASSES.

The course of instruction in the Law Department comprises
ten separate classes. Five of these classes constitute
the first year's studies, and five the studies of the second year.

In the first year's course there are seven lectures, and
in the second, eight lectures, weekly. The lectures occupy
an hour and a half each. The first year's course therefore
calls for ten and a half hours of class work a week, and the
second twelve hours. In addition, any professor has the
privilege of requiring attendance upon one extra lecture

each alternate week, in each class, for the purpose of review
or such other instruction as does not add new matter to the
prescribed course upon which the student is to be examined
for graduation.
