handicap imposed by ignorance of certain basic general
courses—courses open to them, even urged upon them,
while they were on the campus. Many a senior has lost the
opportunity to join the staff of an industrial firm because he
so cheerfully neglected the physical sciences. Many a
young would-be officer has found himself barred from a
training school because representatives of the army or
navy consider important the mathematics which he so will-
ingly escaped. A timely warning now may save others from
the same sort of error.

Matuematics. The value, especially, of College Algebra
and Trigonometry is called to the attention of the general
student, not only because these subjects are indispensable
if one is to do some types of military work, but because,
also, they are prerequisite to most courses in physical
science. Incidentally, high-school seniors who are plan-
ning to enter the School of Engineering and Architecture
should bear in mind that to gain admission an applicant
must offer three units of credit in high-school mathematics,
including one and one-half units in algebra, one unit in
plane geometry, and one-half unit in solid geometry. Lack-
ing these credits, one should try to make them up during
the summer preceding admission by enrolling in the work
in the summer session or through the Correspondence
Study Bureau.

CueEmistTRY. In a time of industrial expansion it is better
to know a little chemistry than none at all, if only because
of the incidental use one can make of the knowledge. At
the University there are two beginning courses in the sub-
ject. Chemistry I, offering five hours of credit, is designed
primarily for those who wish to obtain a general knowl-
edge of the principles of the science, but who expect to en-
roll for no more than one course. Chemistry II, likewise
