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.
