TEACHERS' DEPARTMENT. In order to meet the needs of those who, expecting to enter upon the profession of teaching, desire special train– ing along the lines of their chosen work and of teachers who wish to prepare themselves for advancement, a Teach– ers' Course has been arranged. This course embraces, first, a systematic review of the common branches; second, such advanced work in Latin, mathematics, history, and civics as will be found especially useful to teachers; and, third, work along professional lines in psychology, pedagogy, and the his– tory of education. The course has been arranged through– out with a view to its practical helpfulness. It extends through three years, and a diploma will be given for its completion. TWO-YEARS' COURSE. A diploma will also be granted for a two-years' course, which may be arranged, by those who do not desire to devote more time to the work, by selecting from the threc– ycars' course such studies as they desire and are prepared for. Both the two and three-year students may substitute for any of the studies in the T eachers' Course any subjects from the Collegiate and Preparatory Departments which are deemed equivalent by the Faculty. All subjects pursued in this department, except arithmetic and geography, will be credited toward a college diploma, in case the student event– ually decides to take the regular Collegiate Course. Stu– dents in the Teachers' Course have the use of the library and gymnasium, and are entitled to the same privileges as other students.
