college work, has been established.
The reorganization of the work OF
Howard University along the most
modern lines of educational practice
has met with the hearty approval Of
both educators and students general
ly. From all parts Of the country
and from foreign lands, inquiries con-
cerning the work of the different
schools and applications for admis-
sion have fairly swamped the Regis
trar's office for the past two months.
Indications point to the largest en-
rollment in the history Of the in
,stitution during the coming year.
The reorganization involves i'm
portant changes in the departments
of study of the University and in its
administrative offices. The Academy
has been abolished in order that. the
University, known so long and so
favorably as an institu Cion of learn
ing, may give its entire energies to
work in this important field. Stud
ents who enter hereafter must be
prepared 10 do college work. This
preparation requires fifteen units as
given III a standard secondary cur
riculum, added to eight years of pre-
liminary studies in the elementary
school. Such work is being done in
many schools all over the country
IL such acceptable fashion as to ell
inmate the need Of secondary de-
partment at Howard.
The new scheme Of organization
provides, as a basis, the Junior Col
lege which includes in its courses,
the work of the Freshman and Sop
homore years. The work OF the two
upper years is carried on under the
faculties of the several senior schools,
namely, Liberal Arts, Education, COM
merce and France, Journalism and
General Service. The School Of APP
piled Science offers prescribed cour-
ses covering four college years in
Engineering, Architecture, Agricul-
ture and Home Economics. The
ScnOOl Oh MSulClnc OilOlo q AOui JOoA
curriculum and requires for entrance
at least two full years of college
work, including certain prescribed
studies in science and languages. The
schools of Dentistry and Pharmacy
have the same entrance requirements
but offers two courses, one leading
to diploma and the other to a de-
gree. The school of Music similar
" offers two courses, one leading
TO certificate and the other to a
degree. The school Of Law offers a
standard three year course leading
to The degree of Bachelor Of Laws.
A very attractive pamphlet sett-
ing forth briefly the advantages of
the institution has recently been is
sued by the Registrars Office for the
information of interested parties who
apply.

IN the history Of the institution con-
tains detailed information concerning
