REQUIREMENTS.

The examinations for entrance to Columbia Col
lege Barnard College and the Schools OF Applied
Science begin to-day. The examinations for men
will be held in the Columbia gymnasium for the
first time. Heretofore it has been the custom to
conduct them in the various lecture rooms. The
examinations for women will take place in the
Barnard College theatre. These the first ex-
aminations to be held under the requirements
IN which Latin is not prescribed. A full account
