YALE CURRICULUM, 1sO5-Os.

Elective Pamphlet Out Yesterday Changes in Course of Study. The Course of Study in Yale col lege" (commonly nown as the "Elec- tive Pamphlet'9 for 19O5-19o6, was is- sued yesterday. It is pamphlet of xviii by eighty-three pages, somewhat smaller than the pamphlet of last year by reason of greater breyity in the, statement of some of the courses, but eral appearance. .l ........ The principal novelty in the pamphlet consists in the insertion of a number at the end of the statement of each course, which designates the examina' tion group to which thescourse belongs. In the special explanations (page xviiD it is stated that no student may take more than one course in the same ex- animation group. There is a complete list of courses, arranged in examination groups on pages xvi and xvii. This in- novation is for the sake of making pos- sible an economical and convenient Stpuplii6 OL SVulSVS 1OL LhC cStAAt examinations, and since the arrange ! ment is based mainly upon the recita- ton schedule and upon the grouping of ! mutually exclusive courses, 1t does not introduce any considerable restriction of the students freedom in choosing courses. E.
 One other novelty Is the insertion Con page 45) of a table of courses in Physi- cal and Natural Science, arranged in such a way as to show the various pos abilities relative to major and minor requirements for a degree among the
 science courses. These possibilities are somewhat larger than they have been heretofore
 The total number of courses offered in 1905-1906 is almost exactly the same as last year-namely, PAP Qast year
 244), and there are few changes in the list of instructors. Professors Perrin and Gruener resume their college du- ties after a year of absence. Professor Schwab relinquishes his chair in the department of social science to become university librarian, and the courses heretofore given by him are taken over by, other instructors, with some modi- fications. Aside from this readjust.
 changes in any of the departments, ex-
 cept philosophy. A new department, called theory and practice of education,
 appears, represented by Professor Sheath, and the number of courses in the department of philosophy is con siderably cut down by the retirement of Professor Ladd and some of the oth- CT instructors. y' 5.t~t r Taking the groups in the order in
 which they stand in the pamphlets, the
 most noticeable minor changes are as follows:

 Latin Epigraphy, by Professor Peck; and in Later Roman Historians, by
 Assistant Professor Clark. The course
