Similar facilities are afforded for the study of Zoology, Geology, and Paleontology at the laboratories of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and of Mineralogy at the Mineral Cabinet. The instruction in Experimental Chemistry and Physics is given in the laboratories, and the students are shown the best methods of illustrating experimentally the principles of these sciences.

2. Special instruction in Chemistry and in Botany is given during the vacation to teachers who are unable to attend during term time (see page 147).

INSTRUCTION FOR CANDIDATES FOR THE DOCTORS' DEGREE, AND OTHER ADVANCED STUDENTS.

Instruction for advanced students can be obtained in any of the following subjects: PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, Zoology, BOTANY, and MATHEMATICS.

Professor Gibbs receives special students in Heat and a part of the subject of Light at the Rumford Laboratory: Assistant Professor Trowbridge receives special students in Physics at the Laboratory in Harvard Hall; Professor Cooke receives special students in Chemistry at the laboratories in Boylston Hall; Professors Hagen, McCrady, and Shaler, and Messrs. Pourtalès, Hamlin, and Allen, receive special students in Zoology at the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Assistant Professor Goodale receives special students in Botany at the Botanic Garden and Herbarium. Professors Benjamin Peirce and James M. Peirce receive special students in Mathematics.

The opportunities for advanced students in all branches of Natural History, and in Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, and Mathematics, are very great. The Museum of Comparative Zoology contains a Zoological and a Geological and Palæontological Laboratory, in addition to the workrooms (six in number) of the different departments, to which the most advanced students are admitted in charge of the assistants. The Library at the Museum contains about 12,000 volumes. The Botanical department has a thoroughly furnished laboratory, garden, and greenhouse, and its library and herbarium are the largest in America. The Chemical department has two laboratories, one accommodating one hundred students, and devoted to experimental chemistry and qualitative analysis, the other expressly fitted up for quantitative analysis, and reserved for advanced students. The Physical department has two laboratories, one under the charge of the Rumford Professor, Dr. Gibbs, for investigations in Heat and Light, the other in charge of Assistant Professor Trowbridge, provided with the most recent apparatus for electrical measurements and other instruments of precision, affording ample means for investigating physical phenomena in general.

Graduates of Harvard College who have sustained a satisfactory exam ination while in College on the subjects of the first and second years of the Engineering Course, except Drawing and Surveying, will be admitted to the third year of that course. Undergraduates who intend to study Engineering are recommended, by the Scientific Faculty, to take, as extras, the courses of Drawing and Surveying in the Scientific School; but these subjects may be made up in the third and fourth years.

The degree in Chemistry, or in Natural History, or in Mathematics, Physics, and Astronomy, may be taken in one year by graduates of the College who have finished satisfactorily the courses in College recom

mended to those intending to take one of these degrees. The successful study of any subject in College will be taken as an equivalent for the same subject in the Scientific School.

Examinations for admission will be held on Thursday and Friday, July 1 and 2, and Thursday and Friday, September 30 and October 1, 1875, at Lawrence Hall, beginning at 8 A.M. Students offering themselves at the first examination, and finding themselves deficient in a portion of the mathematics, can get systematic instruction in these subjects at Cambridge during the long summer vacation. There is no examination for admission to the Teachers' Courses.

Students of regular standing in the Scientific School may attend the exercises in any other department of the University free, excepting the exercises in the special laboratories.

DEGREES.

The degree of CIVIL ENGINEER will be conferred upon students who have completed the course of study in civil and topographical engineering, and sustained the necessary examinations.

The degree of BACHELOR OF SCIENCE may be conferred upon any student who, having attended the School for at least one year, and completed the prescribed course of studies in one or more departments, shall have passed a satisfactory public examination. The department or departments in which the student has been examined, and his grade of merit, will be specified in the Diploma. The three grades of the degree are cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude.

For the conditions on which the degree of DOCTOR OF SCIENCE is conferred, see pages 135-138.

SCHOLARSHIPS.

Four University Scholarships, of the annual value of $150 each, have been established in the Scientific School. They are assigned at the beginning of each academic year to meritorious students standing in need of such assistance, who have been in the School the whole of the preceding year, and propose to remain in it the whole of the ensuing year. The award is made by the Corporation on the recommendation of the Faculty. One-third of the annual value of the Scholarships is paid at the time of the award, and the remaining two-thirds on the 1st of April following. Applications for these Scholarships must be addressed in writing to the Dean by the 1st of June.

FEES AND EXPENSES.

The tuition fee for the academic year in any of the above departments, or courses, is $150; for half, or any smaller fraction of a year, $75; for

any fraction of a year greater than one-half, the fee for the whole year is charged.

The other necessary expenses of a student for an academic year may be estimated as follows:

Students in the Scientific and Mining Schools may obtain rooms in the College buildings by applying to the College Steward, either by mail or in person (see page 76). They may also join the Dining Hall Association, and board at cost at Memorial Hall.

Students in Chemistry are supplied with all needed apparatus, but are required to restore it in as good condition as when received. They are charged for all damage or breakage, and also from $10 to $30 per annum for chemicals and use of apparatus.

Students in Engineering will provide their drawing materials.

The Gymnasium is open to all members of the University, without extra charge.

All students admitted to the Lawrence Scientific School, or the Mining School, must furnish satisfactory evidence of good moral character, give bonds in the sum of $200, signed by two bondsmen, one of whom must be a citizen of Massachusetts, for the payment of all dues to the University, and register their names with the Dean of the Faculty of the School to which they are admitted. Instead of filing a bond, a student may deposit with the College Steward such a sum of money as may be deemed sufficient to secure the payment of all dues to the University.

Students engaging College rooms, or boarding at Memorial Hall, will be required to file the same bond as undergraduates ($600), or to pay rent for the year in advance, and deposit the sum of $200, as security for the payment of their board; and they hold the rooms subject to the regulations of the Parietal Committee, in the same manner as if they were undergraduates.

No officer or student of the University will be accepted as bondsman.
