ount of the limitation of time, the study is confinedlargely to descriptive astronomy. Enough of the mathematical partis introduced to explain the methods of calculation peculiar to thesubject, such as determining dimensions, distances, velocities oforbital movements, etc. The excellent telescope belonging to the Institution is frequentlyemployed in giving the students a view of the objects they are study-ing, more particularly of the sun and sunspots, the moons surface,the phases of Venus, Jupiter and his moons, Saturn and his rings.More or less time is devoted to the study of the principal constella-tions and the more conspicuous stars of each. From a list given each student on entering the class, he selectsat least one book on which to prepare a written report as a part ofthe terms work. Elective—Winter term.

The distinction betweenelementary and compound substances is dwelt upon. A careful study of the laws of chemical combinations is re-quired, also a discussion of the atomic and molecular weights,valency, and specific gravity. This is followed by chemical equa-tions, factors, products, acids, bases, and salts. Two consecutive hours per day are given to the subject, thefirst to a recitation upon the text assigned, and the second to strictlylaboratory work, using Williams Manual for a guide. In the advanced work, two hours per day are given wholly tolaboratory work. This enables the student to do much qualitativeanalysis, and in this way to master the practical side of Chemistry. Introductory class organized each fall term. Advanced classorganized each winter term. The first is required, the second Iselective. Each requires two hours work per
