general knowledge of the history of English literature from its begin ming to the present time. The cours- es in composition ann to develop ac- curate thought and clear expression, and work in advanced composition is afforded in connection with the courses in literature. Courses in the modern anc ancient languages are so arranged that they may be taken by the students throughout the en- tire college course.
 The courses in geology are adap- ted for the students in civil and min ing engineering and consist of lab oratory and field work. Detailed field mapping and underground geo logical mapping are required of the students in the most advanced courses.
 Shop Work Taught.
 The Mechanic Arts course of the University comprises the elements of shop work and drawing. The courses are designed with a special regard for the needs of the students in engineering, an effort being made to familiaTize the students with the methods of shop work. The shops 2 and drawing rooms occupy a total floor area Of 5000 square feet, divid- cd into machine shops. tool rooms. store rooms, draughting room, lec- ture room. pattern room and offices rfsH, Is we'll fitted with laboratories and equipment. The mechanical and electrical laboratory is equipped for the purpose of ahording the students engines. hy7d' allie and electrical ma chinery. The mill or metallurgieal laboratory for use by the students in the metallurgy course, is equip ped for work in the testing Of ores. The assay laboratory is equipped with assay furnaces for crucible work. besides all appliances needed for assaying by dry and wet meth ods.
 Practical Instruction.
 In the mining engineering course, attention is largely directed towards the operation and economies Of min. ing, and before commencing the work of the senior year, all students in this course must have spent at least four weeks in practical under ground mining. In connection with the course in mining engineering trips are made to the mining dis tricts Of Arizona and Sonora, for the purpose of affording the students an opportunity for the close study of mining plants.
 The object Of the general course in physics offered at the University ia to acquaint the student with the fundamental physical principles which underly the higher courses ot chemistry, mechanics and engineer ing. The department of physics oc- cupies the entire first floor of the Science Building. A lecture room with a seating capacity of forty per sons is fitted with every modern convenience, including a dissolving arc-Ight I6eal stereopticon lantern. Two large laboratories supply space for mechanical and electrical labo- ratories. late addition to the cleo trical equipment was made during the current year in the form of Marconi Wireless telegraph outht' which is capable of sending and re- ceiying messages over a distance of 25O miles.
 University Buildings.
 The University Campus. consist ing of ffry-fve acres. well laid out in lawns, drives and gardens, Is s.tnated about a mile from the Dusi- ness center of Tucson, with which IL is connected by an electrical street car line. The Main building, the oldest Of tho University buildings was erected over twenty years ago. It is two stories in height. the nrst of gray stone, the second or red brick. Tine building contains recep- ton rooms, laboratories, an assem- ply room, and the office, laoorator- ies and library of the Agricultaral Experiment station
 The Library and Museum buNdlhs is a handsome two-story structur> of red brick and Bedford sandstone The library reading room, on the second floor. is large, weil-hghtea' furnished with solid oak reading ta- bles. desks and wall cases The IL brarv contains 15,O00 bound vol urnes and several thousand unbound bulletins aRd reports.
