—All the engineering courses have been thor
oughly revised with a view to increasing their
standard. Extreme changes have been made in
the Freshman and Sophomore years, all the cours

given rise to a slight confusion and a
good deal of doubling up. The standard of ad
mission has not as yet been raised, but probably
will be before the fall term opens. All the stu
dents are anxious to see the new courses as they
will be outlined in the coming catalogue.
