A COLLEGIATE EDUCATIO .-The latest developments in the arts and sciences, the steady growth of hi tory and literature, and the struggle for leadership in every sphere of life, demand that everyone should enjoy the advantages of the most thorough, liberal educati~n. PREPARATIO FOR COLLEGE.-To prosecute a course of Collegiate study with' success a good foundation needs to be laid. For this purpose Ursinus College offers special facilities in its Academic Department. Students attending this Department become acquainted with the Faculty and with methods of College tudy and recitation. Teachers in public or private schools, whose circumstances prevent them from attending the Department, may prepare themselves for entering the Freshman Class by studying while they teach and attending the stated Academic examina tions, and by attending the Summer School of Languages. AD;\II ION TO THE FRE H fA CLAss.--Applicants must be well grounded in Orthography, Reading, Advanced English Grammar, Letter-Writing, Composi tion, Higher Arithmetic, Advanced Algebra, Geography, and the History of the United tates. If these preliminary studies be passed satisfactorily, classical students are examined in Latin Grammar, four books of Ccesar's Gallic \iVar, four books of Virgil's JEneid, four Orations of Cicero against Cataline, Greek Grammar, two books of Xenophon's Anabasis, and one of the Gospels in Greek or it equivalent. tudents desiring to take the Scientific Course pass the same examinations as classical students, except that Elementary Physics takes the place of Greek. Applicants for the Literary Course for Ladies omit Latin and Greek, and are examined in Word-Analysis and Elementary Physics. EXPEN. E ·.-Students not attending the Department, who pres.ent themselve for examination, are charged a fee of one dollar for each examination. Board, $3 a week. Board in a cl ub, about $2 a week. FUI~nished room, 50 to 75 cents a week. STATED EXAMINATlO 's.-To entitle non-resident students to the privileges of the stated examinations, which are held on the last four days of each term, they must send their names to the Principal a week in advance, and report in detail the work which they covered during the term. The Spring Term opened Monday, April 6th, 1891. For further information address THE VICE-PRESIDENT, Or the Principal of the Academic Department. 11 RSI S LLE I... BULLETI
