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.
