PRINCETON. Sept. %, 1s91.-During the
summer vacation the committee OF the
Faculty who have in charge the publish
ing and arranging of the University
catalogue have been busily engaged In
preparing to have the new catalogue
out within month after the opening OF
college. Everything is completed ex,
cept the list of students, which
cannot be prepared until after Oc-
tober /. Several radical changes are
shown in the advance sheets OF the new
catalogue. The curriculum of estudy has
been greatly improved. Geology and
astronomy are transferred from senior
year TO Junior, and the entire senior year
Is made elective with a single exception;
In the first term ethics will be required
two hours week, and in the second term
President Patton will lecture to the sem
iors sne hour week on the Evidences
of Christianity" which the entire class
will be compelled to attend.
Some of the junior studies are trans
ferred to the sophomore year, thus rails
ing the standard and giving opportunity
for special study and preparation for the
different professions. These are radical
changes for Princeton. Three years ago
the entire freshmen and sophomore
courses of study were required, and the
Junior and senior years had ten hours re-
urired and six elective. But the changes
are in accordance with President Patton g
wishes whenshe assumed the headsh1p OF
the college. and that was TO make 1t a
university In fact as well as IN name.
