THE UNIVERSITY.
HISTORICAL.
In the act erecting the Territory of Minnesota, approved
March 9th, 1849, the Congress of the United States gr.anted
two townships of public lands for the endowment of a uni
versity.
The Territorial Legislature of 185 I, on the thirteenth day of
February, lnssed an act providing for the establishment of "an
institution under the name and style of 'THE UNIVERSITY OF
MINNESOTA,' " and for its location "at or near the Falls of
St. Anthony."
The State Constitution, adopted by the people on the thir
teenth day of October, 1857, confirmed the previous action, as
follows:
,. THE LOCATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, AS
" ESTABLISHED BY EXISTING LAWS, IS HEREBY CONFIRMED. AND
" SAID INSTITUTION IS HEREBY DECLARED TO BE THE UNI·
" VERSITY OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. ALL THE
" RIGHTS, IMMUNITIES, FRANCHISES AND ENDOWMENTS HERETO
" FORE GRANTED OR CONFERRED, ARE HEREBY PERPETUATED
" UNTO THE SAID UNIVERSITY; AND ALL LANDS WHICH MAY
" BE GRANTED HEREAFTER BY CONGRESS, OR OTHER DONATIONS
" FOR SAID U:"I"IVERSITY PURPOSES, SHALL VEST IN THE INSTI
" TUTION REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION."-Articll! VII., Sec.

Historical.
An effort was thereupon made to organize and open the
institution. A plan of a building was "dol,ted, and a portion of
it ereCted, but no scholastic work was undertaken. The financial
revulsion of 1857-8, followed closely by the war of the rebellion,checked the progress of the enterprise, and left the institution
heavily incumbered.
In 1864 the Legislature appointed a special commission, com
posed of Hon. John S. Pillsbury, Hon. John Nichols, Hon. O.C. Merriman, to liquidate the accumulated indebtedness, by
selling a portion of the public lands. About fourteen thousandacres were· disposed of, and all debts and obligations weredischarged.
The University dates its aCtual organization from the law ofthe State approved February 18th, 1868, entitled "An ACt toreorganize the University of Minnesota, and to establish anAgricultural College therein." This aCt, as modified in somedetails by an aCt. approved March 4th, 1872, may be foundprinted in full in the Calendar for the University year 1874-5.The aCts referred to may be said to constitute the CHARTER ofthe University.
The seventh seCtion, placing the income to be derived by thestate from the so-called "Agricultural College" land grant. althe disposal of the Board of Regents, imposes upon them, byobvious implication, the duty of carrying out the provisions ofthe aCt of Congress making that grant, referred to in said section. This aCt forms Chapter cxxx. of the laws of the UnitedStates, 1862, and is entitled "An aCt donating public lands tothe several States and Territories which may provide Collegesfor the benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. The fulltext may be found in the Calendar for 1874-5.
A preparatory department W8S opened in October, 1867. In1869 the first Faculty, consisting of a president and eight professors was formed and the first college class was organized.The first annual Commencement was held June 19th, 1873.

COLLEGIATE
DEPARTMENT.----
General Plan.
The Department of Elementary Instruction, otherwise designated, by vir!.ue of a by-law of the Board of Regents,
"THE COLLEGIATE DEPARnlENT,"
is introductory to the permanent colleges of the University. Itincludes, together with the work of the freshman and sophomoreclasses of the ordinary college courses, the remainder of the oldPreparatory Department, so long as any may be retained. Incommon with the colleges and universities of the newer states,the institution has been obliged to carry a large amount of preparatory work. One year of such work has been already droppedand a resolution of the Board of Regents declares their judgment to be that a second year should be dropped upon and afterthe dose of the University year 1878-9.
This arrangement of departments emphasizes and formulatesthe growing tendency and custom of American colleges anduniversities to make the close of the second or sophomore yeara branching point for certain professional or technical courses,and for the introduction of optional studies. It presupposes aseparation of the secondary and superior epochs of education,and a corresponding assortment of studies. The high schoolsand other" fitting schools" of the state are thus invited to extend their work substantially up to the junior year. When thisshall have been generally done, the University will, as providedby law, dispense with the whole of the Department of Elementary Instruction, and will extend her work on post·graduateground. In the meantime the elementary work of the U niversi tywill begin at the point where the schools of the state leave off.
The general plan of the University contemplates a group orfederation of distinct colleges, having each its own organization,faculty, buildings and equipment. Among the advantagesclaimed for this general plan may be named the following:
1. A faithful adherence to the letter and spirit of the laws,state and national, which have established and endowed the
/\
IJ
3 2 University of Minneso/a.
University, and which contemplate it as a federation of literaryprofessional and industrial colleges.
2. That, while offering the old college curriculum and discipline in their best forms to the literary and professionalclasses, the University will provide for the industrial classes that"liberal and practical education" required by law and publicsentiment.
3. The separation of the natural epochs of secondary andsuperior education, and the ultimate liberation of the Universityfrom the elementary work of the former: and coinciding withthis division, an advantageous assortment of studies, methodsand discipline suitable to the two periods respectively.
4. A close and vital ::lrticulation of the University with thepublic school system of the state.
5. The elevation of the high schools by enlarging the recog.nized sphere of their instruction.
6. The elevation of the professional schools by requiring ofcandidates for degrees a good general education as a prerequisitefor admission, while not insisting upon the impossible conditionthat all shall have gone over the whole of the old college course.
7. The elevation in particular of the Colleges of Agricultureand Mechanic Arts to equal rank and standing with other university courses, and the separation of the studies and exercisesproperly belonging to them, from the elementary branchestaught in the primary and secondary schools; which branches itis not the business of COLLEGES to teach.
8. Great freedom in the arrangement of details to suit varying conditions, the main plan remaining unchanged.
To put the above plan of organization into effect, as well asto prescribe the rights, powers and duties of the various partiesconcerned, the Board of Regents have from time to time enactedsuch by-laws as seemed to be necessary. These, after being submitted to the General Faculty for their revision, have been arranged and codified for convenience of reference. See Calendarsfor 1874-5, and 1876-7 Appendix.

GENERAL REGULATIONS.
I. The University is open free of all charges for instruction,upon equal terms to all persons over fourteen years of age,whetherresidents of the state or not, who may pass the required scholastictests and examinations, except such as may be excluded by thefollowing resolution of the Board of Regents, adopted May
loth, 1876:
"Resolved That in order to encourage preparatory work in the high schools
and academies of the State, and co-operation by them with the University, no
applicant shall be admitted to the Collcgiate Department, to pursue the studies
of any regular class or course, who is entitled to receive and can adually
receive the same instruction, ilz substance, in the public schools of the school
district in which he legally resides."
2. The requirements for admission to the Collegiate Department, which is the usual avenue to the advanced courses andcolleges, are stated under the head of that department.
3. Applicants for admission to the advanced or universitycourses proper, as candidates for degrees, are examined in allthe studies of the appropriate courses of the Collegiate Department.
4. The Faculties occasionally exercise the power of waivingthe ordinary examinations in the cases of applicants of advancedage who desire instruction in special studies. These applicants

must, however, submit to such tests as may be necessary to enablethe professors concerned to decide whether they are competentto receive the desired instruction. There is no special course
of study which applicants may choose upon their own motion.Students are only allowed to select tfltir studies, when in thejudgment of the faculty concerned there is special reason fortheir so doing.
5. The University year, beginning on the Tuesday nextbefore the 15th day of September, embraces thirty-eight weeksexclusive of recesses, and is divided into three terms. The firstterm has thirteen weeks; the second twelve, and the thirdthirteen weeks.
6. As a general rule each student, in whatever department,has three recitations or lectures a day for five days in the week,
besides rhetorical, military and other exercises.
7. The schedules are arranged according to the wants of theregular students. Special students must select (in equivalentamounts) from the studies as thus laid down.
8. Students of any department or college may elect studies ofanother department, under the direction of the faculties andprofessors.
9. Elective studies, to count on standing, must, as a generalrule, be chosen from corresponding years and terms.
10. Except as otherwise ordered by the Board of Regents,the recitations and exercises of the various colleges or departments are conducted according to consolidated programmes,adopted from time to time by the General Faculty.
11. Students in different courses are united in recitationswhenever convenient.
Instruflion. 35

12. The merit of students as regards scholarship, is deter
mined, in the Collegiate Department, by means of recitations
and examinations; in the Colleges of the University by means
of examinations only. The examinations* are habitually
conducted in writing.
COURSES OF STUDY AND DEGREES.
ACADEMICAL.
1. The COLLEGIATE DEPARTMENT offers three courses of study
called Classical, Scientific, and Modern. The Classical Course
has for its leading studies the Greek and Latin Languages. The
Scientific Course is characterized by a succession of elementary
natural sciences. The Modern Course is distinguished by the
prominence given to the modern languages. Students choose
their courses at time of entrance, and do not change them exceptas allowed by vote of the General Faculty.
At the close of his course in this department each student has
his option whether to enter at once, with a fair preparation, one
of the professional colleges, or to proceed with higher academical
studies in the College of Science, Literature and the Arts.
No degrees are offered in this Collegiate Department.
II. The COLLEGE OF SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND THE ARTSpresents likewise three courses of study:
I. A COURSE IN ARTS;
2. A COURSE IN SCIENCE;

InstruRion.
I. MATHEMATICS.
PROFESSOR THOMPSON.
The course in Pure Mathematics commence, on a basis of Common Arith.
metic and the Algebra of simple equations, and assigns 120 exercises to the
completion of Algebra; 60 exercises to Geometry; 60 exercises to Plane
and Spherical Trigonometry; 40 exercises to Analytical Geometry; 120
exercises to Differential and Integral Calculus, and 60 exercises to Modern
Geometry, Higher Equations and General Review.
The entering examinations contemplate a thorough knowledge of the
fundamental operations in Arithmetic, Factoring, Common and Decimal
Fractions, Compound Numbers, Percentage, (including Exchange and Bank
ing), Proportion, Square and Cube Root, with their applications. In Elemen
tary Algebra, candidates will be examined in Notation and Numeration of
Algebra, Algebraic Addition. Subtraction, Multiplication and Division,
Factoring, Fractions, Simple Equations, Radicals and Quadratic Equations.Examinations for advanced standing include, in addition to the above, all the
studies passed over by the lower classes.
A prominent feature of the plan adopted in this department is limitation forthe sal,e of thoroughness. It is the design to select only the cardinal prin·ciples of a given branch; concentrate attention on these, and treat all else asincidental. The results of this method are very sati,fac1ory. An importantprinciple once clearly understood. by an entire class, the applications of it andthe problems involving it are often made a matter of recreation. In Algebra,f",r instance, the problems and equations are regarded as no part of the trea.tise, other problems and equations being substituted for them.
In Geometry, the principal object desired is to understand thoroughly thelogical chain that connects about three hundred geometrical propositions intoone argument and one line of un broken demonstration. Practical application of geometrical principles is fully illll'trated by numerous examples.
Trigonometry is taught less by formulas than concrete examples in Mensuration. Surveying, Navigation, and problems of the celestial sphere. All theConic Sections are discussed, and ample time is afforded to General Geometry, with a full use of Differential and Integral Calculus.
As a preparation for Astronomy, the Classical and Modern students of theFirst Class are taught Mechanics twice per week in the second term.
j
42 University of Minnesota.
II. ASTRONOMY.
PROFESSOR THOMPSON.
A brief course of lectures on topics of descriptive Astronomy, is given by
the Professor to the first or Sophomore class. The text- book used is Olm
sted,s College Astronomy, and the instruction is conducted strictly on mathe
matical ba,is. Thesestudents are expected to become familiar with the simple
problems of the sphere involving Spherical Trigonometry, with the use of for·
mulas, and with computations necessary for the calculation of a lunar eclipse.
Those students who elect Astronomy in the Senior year, are expected to
read Bessel's method of cClmputing solar eclipses, compute latitude and longi
tude, and go through the calculations of a solar eclipse in the most rigor
ous method. This class is instructed in the practical use of the telescope.
The department is furnished with a limited supply of astronomical appara
tus, for experiment and iUnstration.
IV. CHEMISTR Y.
PROFESSOR PECKHAM.
During the first term all students of the Seconcl Class in the COLLEGIATE
DEPARTMENT take General Chemistry. The third term the scientific students
of the same class are required to take Applied Chemistry; also the students
in the Modern Course, if they so elect.
Scientific students of the First Class take Analytical Chemistry three times
per week the second term and twice per week the third term. Classical and
Modern students electing this subject take it five times p~r week during either
the Junior or Senior years, or students in the Modern Course can elect this
subject for the first term Junior year only.
The chemical laboratory is fitted up in the best manner, with apparatus and
fixtures of the most approved construction. It is designed to furnish instruc
tions in qualitative analysis to all students in the Scientific Course of the Col
legiate Department, and in quantitative analysis and special regearch to all
students of whatever department or college, who may desire or be entitled to
such opportunities.
No charges are made for instruction, and only sllch charges for apparatus
and chemicals as will cover actual cost to the institution. The charges for
ordinary chemicals and apparatus will not exceed ten dollars per term. All
InstroClion. 43
glassware and other apparatus are charged to the student at cost. The glass
ware that is uninjured is received back at cost; other articles are received
back under special regulations, generally at a discount of twenty per cent.
The cost of apparatus will vary from two to five dollars pel' term, according
to the care exercised by the stndent. To covel' these expenses, students in
Analytical Chemistry are required to deposit during the fir"t week of each term,
with the Professor of Chemistry, the sum of ten dollars, the ualance of which,
after rleducting the charges mentioned, is delivered to the student at the end of
the term.
The followit!g statements are made to assist students in selecting their studies
with reference to their laboratory work:
Classical students desiring to prepare for the st;Idy of medicine are advised
to arrange for taking Analytical Chemistry in the Senior year.
Modern stndents desiring to prepare for the study of medicine are advised
to select Analytical Chemistry in the Junior year.
Scientific students desiring to prepare for the study of medicine are advised
to take the Scientific Course with Latin, electing Frenc'I in the first class Colle
giate Department, German in the Junior year, and Analytical Chemistry in the
Senior year. If they prefer a course without Latin, they are advised to take
French in the first class, Analytical Chemistry in the Junior year, and French
in the Senior year.
Students desiring an extended course in Chemistry are advised to take the
Scientific Course with German, French in the first class Collegiate Depart
ment, electing Analytical Chemistry in either or both the Junior and Senior
years.
A special course may be arranged for students preparing for medicine, con
sisting of one term of qualitative analysis, followed by a thorough course in
Toxicology and the elements of pbysiological Chemistry, and the preparation
of vegetable and animal pharmaceutical products.
Steps have already been taken to secure a large collection of specimen
drugs for use in illustrating this branch of study.
The University has also an extensive collection of iron ores >tnd slags, to
which additions are constantly being made, for the use of students in the
course in MechanIcal Engineering. Special instruction is given such students
in the analysis of iron ores, iron and steel.
44 Universz"ty of Minnesota.
The necessary apparatus for the study of Assaying, as well as the latest
works on that suhject are supplied to the Laboratory.
Students desiring to pursue Assaying, or any other special branch of Analytical Chemistry are received in the Laboratory as "special students" of
the University, on application to the appropriate Faculty.
PHYSiCS.
PROFESSOR PECKHAM.
The course of study offers to scientific students an elementary course inNatural Philosophy in the fourth class, and later a full course in Physics and
Mechanics running through three terms, one of which is in the third, second
and first classes, respectively. To classical and modern students the course
offers one term in the second class. With these students Molecular Physics
is treated as thoroughly as is possible in the short time del'oted'to the subject.
These student; also have in the first class two hours a week in Mechanics,under Prof. Thompson, to especially prepare them for the study of Astronomy.
In addition to this work, which is required, students may elect to pursue an
advanced course of study in the Physical Laborat')ry. makin;:; their own ex
periments and constructing their own apparatus in a shop provided with tools
for that purpose.
The means for i1lustration in this department are increasing each year.
Through the energy of Mr Peck, in charge of the Department, communica
tion has been established between the University buildings by telephone, and
greatly increased facilities for optical i1lustration and instruCtion have been
obtained by the construction of apparatus for projection during the past year.
The "portlumiaire" has been made in the LaboLltory shop at small cost,
and by means of it not only magic lantern slides but printed diagrams and
wood cuts are projeCted upon a screen before the classes, thus inc!'easing the
means of i1lustration to an almost unlimited degree.
V. GEOLOG Y AND MINERALOG Y.
PROFESSOR WINCHELL.
The third class in the Collegiate Department spends the Winter Term on
General and Dynamical Geology, recitations occurring five times per week.
Dana's Manual is used, the subject maller bein>:: enlarged by blackboard
diagrams and familiar leCtures. Full notes and aLstracb of all 1tL'1ures and
explanatory maller presented during the term are required of the class. The
Instruflion. 45
fullness and correctness of these notes and the transcribed diagrams exhibit
the industry and interest of the students, thus furnishing a basis for the staled
examinations.
The Junior class spends the Winter Term on Mineralogy and Lithology,
meeting five times per week. The aim of this term's work is to make the
student familiar with the crystalline forms and outward character of the com
mon minerals, and by a course in blowpipe analysis to determine qualitatively
their composition. After the m:>st important minerals are thus made familiar
to the student he is ready to begin the examination and careful study of rocks.
The same class continues the study of Historical Geology during the follow·
ing term. This also requires daily recitatious. The chief aim here is to bring
out the succession of principal events in the geological history of the earth in
a series of recitations and lectures, with special reference to the continent of
North America and the State of Minnesota.
The student of the science of Geology in the University is furnished through.
out with such aid as can come from a good supply of maps, diagrams, models,
and other means of illustration. Use is made of Marcy's Sciopticon with a
suit of geological and mineralogical slides. This means of illustration is
specially valuable in the departments of Dynamical and Lithological Geology.
The collections of the Geological and Natural History Survey of the State,
stored by law in the University Museum, and constantly increasing, are in
daily use in the class-room. The c"binet of minerals has been largely
increased during the past year, by purchase and by donation. A series of
casts of fossils, purchased of Prof. Henry A. Ward, of Rochester, N. Y., are
available for use in the study of Historical Geology. The text books used
are those of Dana, with Brush's and Elderhorst's in blowpipe Mineralogy.
VI. BOTANY.
PROFESSOR WINCHELL.
The third class in the Collegiate Department begins Botany in the Spring
Term. The elements of structural and systematic Botany are acquired by the
use of a text-book and hand specimens. Each member of the class is required
to analyze corrrectly and name independently forty or fifty species, preserving
them in the form of an herbarinm. At the final examination, each student
submits his herbarium and note-book, and must be prepared to name and
characterize each species, and name its family relations.
University of Minnesota.
In the College of Agriculture provision is made for a special course in
Botany, with r..f~rence to the wants of students expecting to pursue farming.
VII. ZOOLOG Y.PROFESSOR WINCHELL.
The course in Zoology is introduced in the fourth class in the Collegiate
Department. During the Spring Term a daily recitation is held in elementary
human and comparative Physiology.
Students in the Collegiate Department are required, when in the First Class,
to pursue th.. study of Zoology during the Spring term. The course will
consist of a review of the elements of Zoology with the use of microscope
and sciopticon, and illustrations from the Museum.
VIII. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY.
PROFESSOR WINCHELL.

The "Roman Method" of pronounciation is adopted according to the
following scheme:
Vowels.
Sounds of the long vowels;
a as in father; 'as in puy; i as in machine; 0 as in no; u as 00 in pool;
y as the German ;; or the i as above.
Sounds of the short vowels,-same as the above but shortened.
The long and short vowels are identical in quality, differing only in quantity.
Diphthongs.
Give the constituent vowels their proper sound, and pronounce them in
their order as rapidly as possible, as-
ai and a~ like the English adverb a)' or llY~" au like ow in ow!, or a5 in
German Haus; eli nearly as in feud; ei nearly as in ftint, putting the stress
on the last vowel; oi nearly as oy in joy; oe as a diphthong; o-~h,. ui like
the French oui, nearly like the English w~.

XIl. GREEK.
PROFESSOR BROOKS.
Greek begins with the fourth Class. Scientific students may take Greek in
place of Latin.
The course of study embraces text-Books in History, Poetry, Oratory,
Comedy, Tragedy, and Philosophy, and Lectures on the Greek Langu~ge,
Literature, Religion, Philosophy, and Art. Collateral studies are History,
Geography, Mythology, Biography, Customs, &c.
PRONUNCIATION.-Greek is pronounced according to the accents, and with
the so-called Continental sounds of the vowels and diphthongs.
PRINCIPLES AND METHODs.-In trauslation, the radical meaning of
words is to be learned, but the precise signification in the passage rendered is
to be given; the thing to be done in translating an author is to give his exact
meaning in the best idi<tmatic, gr'1mmatical English; facts, allusions, tropes,
history, chronology, mythology, topography, customs, arts, laws, grammatical
forms and elements, etymologies, composition of wor,]s are to be attended to.
Translation of English into Greek is based upon the authur read. So far as
the aut!Jor himself is concerned, among the things tl) be noted are, the chief
facts of the author's life; the contemporary history and political condition of
the country, and the author's relation to them; the ch'lracter of the people;
and the expression and logical scope of his thought; and the wisdom, &c.,
of his views.
XlV. MENTAL AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY.
PROFE3S0R CAMPBELL.
Ten lectures on practical Ethics are given before the Freshman Class during

tion at the office, and receive a numbered examination ticket. By this
number alone will you be known to the examining professors.
3. Report promptly for examinations at the time and place announced,
and attend the sessiuns punctually, observing such directions as may be given.
4. At an appointed hour after the close of the examinations, the successful
numbers will be announced.

paid the annual fee of five dollars for incidental expenses, receive a registra
tion card, which admits them to the classes.
General Iuformation.
BOARDING.
THE UNIVERSITY HAS NO DORMITORIES, except for a fewemployes. This is a matter both of necessity and policy; ofnecessity, because the State has not been able to furnish moneyto build dormitories; of policy, because it is thought better forthe students to be distributed among the people of the Universitycity, amenable to the common laws and sentiments of society.The public bounty stops at .furnishing free instruction, leavingto private hands the providing of maintenance.
Three methods of boarding are practiced:
(I) Self boarding, by individuals, or, more commonly, bysmall groups or colonies composed of members of the '!;amefamily, or of neighboring families. Rooms are hired, and furniture, provisions and fuel brought from home. When wellmanaged, this is an excellent and very economical mode Ofliving. Two dollars a week per pupil may be set down as thecost.
(2) Club boarding. This has been practiced for several years,and is well organized. The price of board has never exceeded$2.50 per week, and was not much above $I.50 during thepast year.
(3) Boarding in families. The difficulties formerly encounteredin procuring suitable places for students desiring to board in families, have disappeared. Good board can be found at reason·able prices, ranging from $3.50 upwards. A list of familieswilling to receive student boarders, individually or in clubs,is posted on the bulletin board at the beginning of the year;also one of "rooms to let."
Persons desiring to secure boarding for young ladies are advised to correspond with Mrs. A. N. Smith, preceptress, who has
- I
68 University 0/ Minntsota.
arranged to accommodate a limited number of young ladies in
her own family at a suitable rate. Mrs. Smith will also gladlyassist young ladies in making other arrangements if desired.
EMPLOYMENT.
THE UNIVERSITY CANNOT PROMISE EMPLOYMENT to those who
desire to earn their living. The few places it can offer being
always in the hands of old students, new comers cannot expectto get them. The following advice deduced from the observations of several years, is offered to young persons of limitedmeans who want an "education":
(1) If possible learn a good trade or art before coming to theUniversity. Your chances for work will be greatly increased,
and you can get better wages. (2) Bring some money-fifty
dollars at least-on which to live until you find work. (3) Ifyou want work you must look for it. It will not come to you
at first. Be active, resolute and enterprising. (4) If you haveto "pay your way" through college, resolve to take time enoughto do it well without ruining your health. It is not essential
that you be graduated with any particular class.
EXPENSES.
These depend largely upon the tastes and habits of individuals.The following statement is founded upon statistics furnishedconfidentially by a considerable number of the older and moreexperienced students of the past year, under the heads ofBoard, Washing, Fuel, Light, Books and Stationery, LiterarySociety. Travel, Clothing, Miscellaneous:
The average necessary expenses of students boarding in families, appear to be $311; those of students boarding in clubs andotherwise $161.
General Information.
INSTRUCTION IS FREE IN ALL DEPARTMENTS.
The only University charge is the annual fee of $5.00 forincidental expenses. This fee must be paid before the studentcan join his classes, and no deductions are made for absence orlate entrance.
Students provide their own books and stationery. The literarysociety expenses are small.
DAILY ROUTINE.
Each week day except Monday is occupied with recitations,lectures and exercises. The work begins at eight o'clock,A. 1\1. and continues throughout the day. A general assembly
of students and faculty is held each day at about 10:40 o'clockA. M. There are brief and simple devotional exercises, and oneor more rhetorical exercises are performed by members of theupper classes.
Most public announcements are made at the assembly, but awritten notice on the bulletin must also be regarded as sufficient.
DISCIPLINE.
Students of the various departments or colleges are amenableto their respective Faculties.
The University presumes that every member intends to do hisduty and to behave himself decently. Good order, courtesy,punctuality and attentiveness, are established customs of theUniversity, which the student body take pride in maintaining.The few cases of misdemeanor which occur are dealt with individually by the Faculties .
•The following by-law of the Board of Regents is in force:
" Whenever any faculty of the University is satisfied that any student is
not fulfilling, and is not likely to fulfil the purpose of his attendance upon the
University, or is for any cause unfit to remain a member of the same, the pres.
l

ident shall so inform his parent or guardian, and if, after reasonable time
allowed, the said student shall not have been withdrawn, he may be dismissed
by order of the General Faculty.
STUDENT SOCIETIES.
Besides the STUDENTS' CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, the literarysocieties, recognized by the General Faculty, furnish excellentand much prized opportunity for practice in extemporaneousspeaking and parliamentary procedure.
The orator of the united literary societies for the year 1877-8is Julius Elliott Miner, B. A.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.
This association was organized in 1875. All graduates of theexisting colleges of the University are members; the membersof the Board of Regents and of the General Faculty are honorary members. There are the usual officers charged with thecustomary duties. An Executive Committee conducts businessnot otherwise provided for. The annual meeting is on the daypreceding Commencement, at 3 o'clock P. lIf.
The officers for 1877-8 are:
Dr. S. P. STARRITT, President;
Dr. H. C. LEONARD, Secretary and Treasurer.
THE GEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORYSURVEY.
The University is charged by law with the work of the Geological and Natural History Survey of the State, under thedirection of the Board of Regents. ·This survey has now be~n
in operation six years, but has been confined principally to thegeological portion of the work. More lately the Regents havealso ordered 'a beginning of botanical collections, with a view

Gmeral Information. 7I
to the creation of a full herbarium of the flora of the State; andinstituted systematic observations and reports on the birds ofMinnesota. The professors of the University are seleCted bythe regents for carrying on the various branches of the survey,and the General Museum is the repository and place of exhibition of the colleCtions made during its progress.
The law creating this survey is comprehensive. It embracesnot only a striCtly geological survey, including a complete account of the rocks and minerals of the State, and their chemical analysis, but also a natural history survey, comprising anexamination of all species of trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, native or naturalized, and a complete account of the animalkingdom, as represented in the State, including all mammalia,fishes, reptiles, birds and inseCts. It also orders the tabulationof meteorlogical statistics, and an investigation of the climaticpeculiarities of Minnesota. It orders the colleCtion of topographical and hypsometrical data, and the compilation of anaccurate map, which, with the approval of the Governor, is tobe the official map of the State. The law also requires an exhibition made during the progress of the survey, in the buildings of the University, for public inspeCtion, free of cost, inwell warmed and furnished rooms. The regents make annualreports of progress, and, on the completion of any portion ofthe work, a final report thereof is made to the Governor.

EXAMINATIONS.
Examinations are held in every study at the close of each term. The marks
for these are combined with the daily marks for recitations in such a way as
to throw increasing relative weight upon the examinations as the student pro
ceeds from year to year in his course. In order to be "passed" in any study
or exercise, the student must obtain sixty-five per cent, of the available marks.
The object of the marking system is to preserve for the use of the Faculty a
convenient record of the diligence and proficiency of the students, so far as
these can be inferred from the average of numerous approximate judgments.
Statements of standing will he furnished to parents or guardians at any time,
upon request. Students receive notice of failures and deficiencies.
All examinations are conducted in writing, but any professor or instructor
in charge, may add such oral questions as he may deem proper.
At the end of each year a general average is made by dividing the sum of
all per cents gained by the number of studies and exercises. Students whose
average falls below sixty-five per cent. cannot be advanced in rank.
REGULATIONS.
The following regulations of the General Faculty are observed by the
students of the Collegiate Department:
Students pledge themselves in their applications to be regular and punctual
in attendance upon all proper duties and exercises.
All students of this department are required to attend the daily assembly.
Absentees file their excuses, stating reasons, with the president.
Absentees from recitations or exercises present their excuses on the proper
blank to the professor in charge, and file the same, with the professor's
endorsement, in the president's office.
Students who have been unable to prepare for a recitation or exercise, pre
sent excuses in writing to the professor in charge, on entering the room.
Students failing to pass in any study at the close of a term, are liable to
be cited for re-examination at any time thereafter, either by the professor or
the Faculty; and students remaining .. conditioned" at the end of the year,
are examined at the beginning of the next university year, at such times and
places as may be announced on the morning of the second day. Conditioned
University oj Minnesota.
students failing to attend such examinations, must render satisfaCtory reasons
in writing to the General Faculty, hefore joiningtheir classes. For the pro.
gramme of these examinations, see appendix.
Students desiring to be examined in studies of classes above them, apply in
writing to the General Faculty. Leave being granted, they attend, if prac1i.
cable, the examinations of the advanced class, or, if not, undergo examinations
equivalent thereto.
Students who may have been absent f·om recitations for a part or a whole
of a term, for sufficient reasons, are entitled to individual examinations adapted
to fully test their proficiency, and, if successful, are" passed" thereupon.
No student can be advanced in rank whose conditions amount in the aggre·
gate to more than one term's work.
These rules apply to special as well as to regular students.
Students who are absent from all university duties for six consecutive days
without leave, and students who Llil to be present at the beginning of any
term, or after any recess for six consecutive days, without reporting the causes
of such detention, are dropped from the rolls and forfeit their registry.
Students desiring to be ahsent for 'orne time, apply in writing on the blank
provided, to the General Faculty, for leave of absence.
Absentees from examinations apply in writing to the General Faculty for
excuse; if excuse is granted, they are entitled to individual examinations
equi valent to those undergone by their classes.
Unexcused absences, unexcused failures to prepare lessons and perform
duties, and misdemeanors, are recorded, and demerit marks are charged. When
a student has accumulated 12 such marks he receives a warning in private;
when 24, notice is given to his parent or guardian; at 36, a public warning
is given; at 48, the student is suspended during the pleasure of the General
Faculty.

EXAMINATIONS.
The proficiency of students in this college is ascertained byexaminations conducted in writing, at the close of each term.These are estimated on a scale of one hundred. The marks forthetorical and other exercises are reduced to the same scale atthe close of each term. A minimum of 7S per cent. in eachstudy, and exercise is necessary to "pass."
METHODS OF INSTRUCTION.
Instruction in the several subjects pertaining to Civil and Mechanical
Engineering and Architecture, is given by text.books, lectures, reading in the
general library, aud practical exercises; the theory being applied in the
solution of practical problems and the construction of original drawings.
The college possesses a good compass, transit instrument, level, and a
variety of measures; ample opportunity is afforded to become familiar with
their use in actual field operations.
Descriptive Geometry taught in the Collegiate Department, preparatory to
several studies in the different courses in this college, is illustrated by means
of a full set of beautifuf models made by Schrceder of Darmstadt, Germany.
Together with these were impurted several models of roofs and bri<\ges by the
same maker, to serve as guirles to students in Architecture and Bridge Build
ing, who, to fix the principles learned in the class room, are required to make
trusses and other constructions.
A beginning has been made in fitting up a shop for the accommodation of
students in Mechanical Engineeriug. The University possesses a lathe with
the necessary tools, to which additions will be made as fast as practicable.
Field practice is a portion of the regular course in Civil Engineering. The
classes in Surveying are drilled in actual work of lotting out and measuring
land, as well as in the solution of various geometrical and trigonometrical
problems, from data taken by members of the classes themselves. The class
in Railroad Engineering have practice in laying out curves, taking levels,
cross.sectioning, staking out; in fact in all the work of locating a railroad
line, from the preliminary survey up to the point of actual construction.
