gives very comprehensive statement oil
the growth ofithis youthful institution,
and its prospective.
The University was founded by Hons

4. The School of all Sciences.
The departments form a successive
scale of graduation.
The School of all Sciences, one of the
most important faculties for education
al service, has been arranged during the
past year, and is an entirely new feature
for American Universities Any men,
Der of this school, being duly recon-
mended, can pursue, tuition free, regu-
lar or select course of study in any de-
partment of the National University at
Athens, or the Royal University at
Rome; an important consideration for
one desiring to fit himself for a protes-
sOrship of Greek, Latin, Modern Ian
guages, Philosophy, History, or Art
The plan of this University is at once
recognized as broader in its conception
than either the German or English uni
versities, embracing their advantages
with some additional ones arising from
their combination. In 1871 the School
of Theology was opened, being the lar
gest in New England, and one of the
foremost in the country. Candidates
for admission to the first division of an
entering class must have received the
degree of Bachelor of Arts from some
college or university, or have an equiva-
lent preparation for theological studies,
and produce satisfactory testimonials
from their pastors concerning their per-
sonal Christian character. Upon finish
ing their course they receive the degree
of Bachelor of Divinity For admission
to the second division the candidate must
have mastered the studies requisite for
entrance upon the classical course in
American colleges, and show their in
ability by reason of age or circumstances
to qualify themselves for the first di-
vision. Having completed their course,

ment. In the autumn of 1872 the Col |
Iege of music was opened, the only one |
Of its grade in America, and is designed |
for students of the average proficiency OF |
graduates of the best American cOnServ- |
atories of music. During the same sea
son the School of Law was opened, and |
took advanced rank. In
the year 1878 four departments were IN
iugurated, viz: The first preparatory
department., situated at East Green
Vich, X. l., fully equipped academy;
he College of Liberal Arts, commonly
Known in American universities as the
lcademical department The degrees of
Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Philoso-
,hy and Bachelor of Science are con
erred upon student when the proper
courses of study are completed.
The conditions for enferino arn 'I~
anne as are required by first class col
eyes. The expenses will vary from
$3.50 to $3.50 per year in this depart
nent, snd under special circumstances
here can be a large reduction from
hese figures. The School of Oratory,
department designed to meet the de-
Tres of those who would become effect
We public speakers, furnishes facilities
or training in reading and speaking.
The School of Medicine recognizes all
chools of the profession, and has a
ourse of instruction of the most thor
ugh and comprehensive character, cov-
ring three years of scientific and prac-
ical medical instruction. 1t has access
o the Massachusetts Homeopathic
Hospital, the college, dispensary, the
,ublic hospitals and charitable institu-
ions of Boston and vicinity, and the
Iew England Female Medical College
las been united during the past year
With the School of Medicine; and also
uring the past year the Massachusetts
agricultural College has been attached
0 the university.
The university is now in its fourth
ear, and has nearly five hundred stu
ents in its various departments. OF
hese 102 are young women. Whatever
nay belts future, the past record, brief
S it has been, is marvellous and suggest
We, but considering all the circum-
tances of its plan, endowment, location
nd efficient managers, success is GER
ain.
