NEW COURSES.
LATIN ENGLISH AND GENERAL
LANGUAGE COURSES.
The University has established two new courses. The Latin English gives the student an opportunity to prosecute the higher and more technical phases of English study. To accomplish this purpose, Anglo-Saxon is made a required study throughout the entire Sophomore year. The origin, development and growth of the English language is carefully studied. The study of Latin is also continued throughout the entire Freshman and Sophomore years. This is done that the student may have opportunities for linguistic study in one other language besides English. English and Latin may also be pursued as electives in the Junior and Senior years.
The General Language course was established for the benefit of those students who desire to study other languages than Latin and English. To accomplish this purpose, beginning classes in Greek, French and German are established every year. The student who aks this course has the opportunity of pursuing two foreign languages. If he desires, he may continue the study of language as his optional work in his Junior and Senior years.
Attention is called to the changes in the sub-Freshman course. The most noteworthy changes are,that English is recognized by the University as an equivalent for any other language and that fifteen books of Latin are required instead of eighteen
A complete connection has been established between the University and the high schools of the state. The work of the University is, as it were, a continuation and completion of the work begun in the high school.
The requirements in Languages for admission to the Freshman class in these courses are:
1. Latin.—Latin Grammar and Reader; Caesar, four books; Cicero, six orations; Virgil, five books.
2. English.—Lockwood's Lessons. Reading of the seven classics suggested in Lockwood's course. A. S. Hill's Rhetoric, Book 1; Lounsbury's English Language, Part 1. Reading of ten classics.
TIMES AND PLACES OF ENTRANCE
EXAMINATIONS.
Principals of private schools and academies, and of the public High and Grammar schools of the State, may by correspondence with the Chancellor arrange for home examinations for admission to the sub-Freshman courses. These homesexaminations may also include any of the studies of the sub-Freshman courses.
The regular fall examinations for entrance will take place at the University on Wednesday and Thursday, September 10th and 11th, 1890.
Literary Societies in the University.
If there is any one thing over which the student of four or five years ago, in talking of the "good old days," grows enthusiastic, it is the literary societies that used to be on the hill; those were the glorious days of Oread and Orophilian, when Glen Miller, W. S. Jenks, S. T. Gilmore and others equally as able made the halls of K. S. U. ring with words of fire. Many things combined to bring about a change—the forming of special clubs, the political work of factions, until at the beginning of '89-90 there was not a literary society worthy of the name on Mt. Oread. This was deplorable and must be remedied; so some of the moving spirits in college "got together" and about the first of Nov. '89 a new literary society was formed called
THE ADELPHIC.
Among the prominent workers in this new society were, G. O. Virtue, Hervey White, H. C. Riggs, E. C. Hickey, G. A Haury, the Parks and many others, determined to have a society that should be and do what its name purported. So far they have succeeded admirably, meetings were held every Friday evening. No
NO 39.
attempts were made at display or blowing of trumpets, but just such training as the student needs was to be found here.
The officers of this society elected justbefore last commencement and wno will start the ball rolling in September are H. C. Riggs, president; David Park, secretary. Two programs were made out and posted for this fall, so that every thing is in readiness to begin work as soon as school opens.
IVERSITY LITERARY CLUB.
Somewhat later in the year another literary society was organized,known as the K. U. L.C. This society meets in old Orophilian hall, and has secured from the English department the privilege of substituting certain work done in the club for some of the themes required in this department,provided of course, that the work done be satisfactory to the Professor of English. Besides these purely literary societies, there are numerous special societies as the Science club, Kent club, Seminary of Political Economy, and some others
Until there is no necessity for any student failing to obtain plenty of practice in debate, extemporaneous speaking, preparing and reading of papers, and all such work which should form a part of University training.
The University Machine Shops.
In connection with the Electrical engineering department there has been established at the University a fully equipped machine shop. The shop is furnished with all kinds of hand tools, together with a planer, lathe, drill press, milling machine, in fact everything to be found in a first class job shop.
The object of this adjunct to the University is not to do custom work, but to furnish an opportunity to students in the E. E. course of obtaining practice in the handling of tools, a chance to apply the theories gained from books. Here is found the plant which runs the electric lights of the University grounds and buildings. Students under competent directions do the work connected with this plant, and take care of the lamps, cleaning them, etc. So that when a student graduates in electrical engineering, he is able to make the dynamo and has a practical knowledge of his profession obtained under the best instructors.
