years Of existence Luther college has never in
stituted any other collegiate course than the
| time -honored classical course The past year,
however. several changes have been made in the
course In accordance with the decision Of the
| synod for the Northeastern Luthern Church Of

Preparatory Course Extended.
The preparatory course, which hitherto
has been three-years' course, has been ex.
tended to four years, enabling the college to
adopted by colleges Of recognized standing thru
out the country. The course in the college
department has hitherto been required course
thruout., Hereafter thru the freshman and
sophomore classes, the course will be a required
course as before, but in the Junior and senior
classes it will be divided into a classical
course and literary course, In each of which
a number Of electives will be offered.
1t has never occurred to the authorities OF
Luther to establish courses for, which 1T lacks
means and equipment in order, that 1t night

In the rearrangement Of courses that has been
made this object has been kept steadily in
view so that all graduates. will be well pre-
pared for theological studies: At the same
time students who have decided to enter some
other field Of activity than that of the ministry
are given opportunity to elect, studies during
their junior and senior years that appear de-
sirable as stepping stones to the professional
