As announced in our last issue the former so-called courses have been abolished and the group system introduced. The following is a provisional schedule for the work of the freshman and sophomore years in the school of arts. Requirements for admissions—Physical Geography, General History, Science of Government.Algebra,Geometry, Physics, Language-I. Latin three years. English one year and Greek German or French. two years; or-II Latin three years and English three years.
The Group System.
FRESHMAN-FIRST TERM.
Geometry and Algebra half term each. English, Hygiene (twenty lectures). One foreign language. In German, French or Greek, it may be the first, third or fifth term's work; in Latin the seventh or ninth term's work, six terms preparatory work being required.
FRESHMAN—SECOND TERM.
Trigonometry three fifths. Chemistry and Botany half term each. One foreign language—second, fourth or sixth term in German, French or Greek; eighth or tenth term in Latin.
SOPHOMORE-FIRST TERM.
SOPHOMORE—FIRST TERM.
Group I—German, French, Latin,
Greek, (see Freshman, first term). Group
II—Chemistry and Botany half term
each. Analytics. History.
At the end of the sophomore year the student must have done some work in at least two foreign languages. He may take any language for which he is prepared. This includes permission to be gain any language except Latin.
BOPHOMORE—SECOND TERM.
Group I—Including English(see Freshman, second term).
Group II—Elementary Pavchology and Logic, Zoology, Surveying.
In the Sophomore year all the language courses including English, constitute what is known as Group I. All other courses are included in Group II.
Freshmen offering three years of English for entrance, not being required to take first term English, may take history or a second foreign language, subject to the regulation regarding total amount of language.
The work of the Sophomore year shall consist of six themes and six full terms' work. The six terms' work shall be chosen from groups I and II, not more than four terms' work from either group.
This arrangement of studies does not give greater option as has been reported, but it gives greater uniformity. Instead of the present complex and perplexing conglomeration of courses it gives a uniform basis for one half the work for all students. This basis consists of mathematics science and English. Each student at the end of the sophomore year must have taken at least two term's work in each of two languages. The minimum amount of language that a student can take is the same as the minimum in the present general language course; the maximum the same as the amount in the present classical course. No student hereafter can graduate if he has studied only one foreign language. In this connection it should be mentioned that the National Association of Collegiate Alumnus excludes graduates of all colleges which give the bachelor's degree to students who have studied only one foreign language.
These new regulations regarding studies will not go into effect until the beginning of next school year.
Prof. Adolphe Cohn will lecture at the opera house tonight on the "Career of Leon Gambetta." This is the third of the lecture course stractions.
'THE REGENT'S REPORT.
The Usual Biennial Report Furnishes Important Information.
The regular biennial report of the board of regents and chancellor has been published. The work of the past two years is reviewed, and the urgent need of further appropriations for the erection of several new buildings and other no less important improvements is touched upon.
The report shows a splendid record for the past two years in matters of instruction and attendance, thus emphasizing the need for further accommodations in the shape of new but' dings.
The most imperative need is a fireproof library building for the present library and such additions as may be made to it. The present quarters are small and poorly arranged, and more than all, not fire proof. It has been suggested that the Spooner bequest be used for the purpose of erecting a library building. This amounts to $80,000 and was secured for the University by Chancellor Snow's connection with it, from an uncle of his. This would be a very appropriate way of using the gift. Then there is needed a building for physics and electrical engineering. A suitable building properly arranged and fitted up it is estimated can be built for $75,000. A chemistry building to cost $15,000 is on the list, also an addition to Snow Hall for Dyche's animals, and last, a woman's dormitory.
There has been no appropriation for buildings since since Snow Hall was erected eight years ago. Since then the attendance at the University has increased one half, and the entire preparatory department has been abolished. Eight years ago more than half in attendance were enrolled in the preparatory department of the school. The faculty has been doubled in that time and like growth has been made in all directions. In the time mentioned Minnesota has spent $350,000 for university buildings. University of Nebraska $125,000 and the University of Missouri more than that, but this latter was due to the disastrous fire that occurred at Columbia.
There is absolute need for more money for current expenses. The present amount under the Moody bill is the fixed sum of $75,000. Out of this everything of the University must be paid, the instructor's salaries and all money spent must come from this source. This leaves no chance for further expansion, for the money, economically expended, as it now is all used to the last dollar. No state institution in the west with which Kansas University is supposed to rank has as little money for current expenses. The annual income of Nebraska University is $108, -000, and Iowa, Missouri and others all have more than that.
The ex-University students liying in Kansas City have organized with the following officers: President, John Sullivan; yue-presidents, Webster Davis, A. S Oln and I. C. McNeil; secretary, Frank A. Marshall; assistant secretary, Alfred Fidler; general committee, W. H. McCamish, A. L. Glenn, J. D. Wendorff, Mrs W. A. Mellon, F. E. Reed, Miss Hattie Cook, S. T. Gillmore, Ralph Stout, J. G.

Gay; executive committee John Sullivan,Frank A. Marshall, W. A. White and Misses Ethel Beecher Allen and Kate Ridenour.
