PROGRAMMES FOR 1889-90.

The following courses in literature and science are offered for the academic year which begins October 1, 1889. They are open to properly qualified young men according to conditions varying somewhat in each department. In two or three subjects the programmes are reserved. The Annual iRegister giving full statements as to the regulations and work of the University will be sent on application.
