Excerpt from Bowdoin Orient, Vol. 11

A reorganization of the Course of Instruction has recently been made, in which the distinction between Classical and Scientific Courses is not maintained, but all academic undergraduates are placed on one footing, with the opportunity of following, to a considerable extent, such lines of study as they prefer.

All students entering the College proper, are examined on the same course of preparatory studies. After the second year a liberal range of electives is offered, within which a student may follow his choice to the extent of one-quarter of the whole amount pursued.

The so-called scientific studies, formerly treated as a distinct course, are still, for the most part, retained either in the required or elective lists. More place is also given to the Modern Languages than they have hitherto had.

The degree of Bachelor of Arts is given to all who complete the Academic Course.

The Engineering Department remains as heretofore, and facilities are offered for study of the various branches of this science. The means of theoretical instruction are ample, and the town of Brunswick being one of the principal railroad centres in the State, and in the immediate vicinity of many important public works, affords excellent opportunities for the study of actual structures. The College also enjoys many favors from the United States Coast Survey Office. The admission is the same as to the Academic Department, omitting the Greek, except that a full equivalent in French will be taken, if desired, in the place of Latin.

Those who complete satisfactorily the four years' course in engineering will receive the Degree of Sc. B. Those who complete a two years' course of advanced study will receive the Degree of Civil or Mechanical Engineer. Students not candidates for a degree will be received at any stage for which an examination shall show them to be fitted, and may remain for any desired time. Further information will be furnished on application to Professor G. L. Vose.

Terms of Admission to the Academic Course.

Applicants for admission will be examined in the following subjects:

Latin. - Latin Grammar, including Prosody; Writing Latin (35 Lessons in Allen's Latin Composition are recommended as indicating the amount required for examination); Virgil, the Bucolics, Georgies, and six books of the Enoid; Cicero, seven Orations; Sallust.

Greek. - Hadley's Greek Grammar; Xenophon's Anabasis, four books, and Homer's Iliad, two books; Jones's Greek Prose Composition.

Ancient Geometry.

Mathematics. - Arithmetic, including Common and Decimal Fractions, Interest, Square Root and the Metric System; Algebra, through Equations of the Second Degree; Geometry, Books I. and III. of Loomis's Geometry.

Real equivalents for any of the foregoing requirements will be accepted. All applicants for admission will be required to produce testimonials of good moral character. The time for examination is the Friday after Commencement and the first Thursday of the first term. In exceptional cases applicants may be examined at other times. Candidates for admission to advanced classes will be examined in the studies which such classes have accomplished.

The Faculty are also ready to make arrangements with the Principals of schools and academies having a regular course preparatory for college of at least three years duration, whereby their pupils may be examined for admission to college at their respective schools, in connection with their own final examinations.

The amount of instruction now offered and possible to be taken in the several principal lines of study is exhibited comparatively, or reduced to one scale in the following manner. This is, however, only approximate, as the terms are of unequal length:

Latin, eight terms.
Greek, eight terms.
Mathematics, eight terms.
German, four and a half terms.
