sophie theory Of the aims and methods
Of classical cultulJ in the undergraduate

The sciences will be particularly fine
since use of the lecture rooms and labora-
tories of the Colorado University has been

to study geology and botany than Boulder,
and what recreation could be more enioya-
BILE.
There will be quiz classes several times
each week for students desiring special
drill upon lectures and textbook work.
Prof. Whitaker will devote his entire time
to this work and will spGnd the greater
| part OF each day in the laboratories for
the purpose OF giving extra time to willing
| students. More than two columns of she
prospectus arc devoted to DO any. "The
Story OF the Bacteria THE Plant Treas
ures Of the Vegetable Kingdom, including
the Story OF Fungus" What Flowering
Roots "The Growth of Fern Leaf" are
a few OF the enticing bits.
Under pedagogy are "Locallzation OF
Functions of the Brain" "Ssnsory Train
