Quired an amount Of knowledge equal
to that represented by the first years
collegiate course. Once matriculatcd, o
candidate for tho A. Is. degree may pur-
sue any one OF seven curricula, the
nature OF which is sufficiently in
dicated by their names. to wit:
the classical, the Latln-mathematical.
the historical-political, the modern Ian
guage, the mathematical physical, the geo.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL and the chemlcal-biologi-
cal, or preliminary medical group. We
should note that. at this university, there
is no rigorous class system, nc uniform
length OF residence being prescribed for
the attainment OF the Bachelors degree.
Students who fully meet the requirements
for naturalization and who subsequently
maintain a satisfactory standing In their
college work may be graduated in three
years while other students require four
years.
The degree Of Doctor OF Philosophy is
offered to students who have followed post
graduate courses Of university study for Q
period Of not less than three years, and who
have passed the prescribed examinations
and submitted an acceptable dissertation.
In order to be accepted as u candidate for
the Phi. D, degree, II student must prove
that he has completed such a liberal under.
graduate course OF academic study ante
cedent to the ~baccalaureate degree as
Is offered by colleges OF good stand
ing. Not until his candidacy il accepted
can he enter on the trlennial gradu-
ate course. The medical department Of
this university is planned for the
professional education OF students espe-
cially fitted to receive its instruction by a
course OF preliminary training IN the liberal
arts, and especially in those branches Of
| science which underlie medical efficiency.
As candidates for the degree Of Doctor Of
Medicine, the school receives, first, those
who have completed the chemical-biologlcal
course which leads to the A. b. degree in
this university, and, secondly, graduates
OF approved colleges or scientific schools
who can show that they are acquainted
with Latin and have n good reading knowl-
edge OF French and German, and also such
acquaintance with physics, chemistry and
biology as Is impaired by the minor or one
year courses given in these subjects
at Johns Hopkins. II is satisfactory to
carr that the required period of study for
the degree Of Doctor Of Medicine is four
years, the first two of which ara devoted
mainly to the fundamental medical sciences,
while in the latter two years medicine,
surgery, obstetrics and the variou special
ties are studied In the clinical laboratories,
the dispensary and the wards Of the Johns
Hopkins Hospital.
When We keep in view the youth OF this
institution, we cannot but be impressed

A word should be said about the cost OF
education at this university and about the
assistance offered TO deserving but needy
students. The charge for tuition to can
didates for the A. b., or Ph. d. degree is
$50 per annum, and there are laboratory
charges ranging from $l2 to $40 q year.
Candidates for the degree OF NJ. d. have to
pay 5000 per annum, but there are no extra
charges for laboratory courses, except for
materials actually consumed. Twenty
fellowships, each yielding $500, but not
cxempting the holder from the charges for
tuition, are annually awarded, and there is
also the Bruce fellowship, which carries
the income derivable from $4,000.
