Up to the present time there have been six ways of getting a degree of S. B. in the Lawrence Scientific School. In as much as a student wished to devote himself to civil engineering, chemistry, geology, biology, electrical engineering, or general science, he could take one of six prescribed courses of study. At the meeting of the Faculty on Tuesday another road to the S. B. degree was opened. The new course is intended primarily for those meaning to take charge of gymnasia, or to devote themselves in any other way to instruction in physical training. Moreover the new course will be useful for those intending to study medicine, although this is not its primary object.

If students show themselves capable of omitting any course, for example German A or French A during the first year, they may with the consent of the Faculty substitute some other college course.

Below is given the course of study as proposed by Administrative Board of the Scientific School, and as adopted by the Faculty, although it should be said that a few minor changes may be made later.

FIRST YEAR.1. Drawing (Fine Arts 1).
