College officials who regard IN a
new development the quarter system,
which the academic year is divided
into three parts instead of into two
semesteis, should refer to the catalog
us fifty years ago. The 1881-82 cal-;
endai was divided into a fall session
of sixteen weeks and winter and'
sming sessions of twelve weeks each.;
The College =interned a ',toma
to* course lot students coming from
districts whets there were no "ad
zinced schools " In this department
as well as in the (list two years of
college work propel, the student,
ought elect a course in genial science '
or one in the classics.
Speaking of the college courses, the
pamphlet says:
"That in Canal al Science, mobably
the most popular of all college courses,
embraces German and French; math
ematics, and a fair outline of the
natural and metaphysical sciences.
, The Classical combines with the es
sentials of the old, time-honored 'col
' lege comae' a large amount of the
keientafic knouledge and pi actical
liaising which that course Immerly
lacked."
AI the end of his sophomore year
the student nught continue in the
chosen course or enter one of four
"technical" courses, The curricula
thus designated mere agriculture, ant
i ural history, chemistry and physics,
and civil enginceting.
The predecessor of the winter short
courses in agriculture gisen by the
College is seen in the Farmers' Insti
tute of 1882. This was a series of
lectures given over a period of ten
days in January.

With fickle Mother •Nature in one
of her most changeable moods—now
bowing down upon the earth with
scorching rays of the mid-spring sun,
and now enveloping it in a blanket of
post-winter snow, the College physic
ians warn the students against
thoughtless lack of proper precautions
against the attendant ills brought on
by the irregular weather.
"Many students, after virtually
hibernating throughout the winter be
neath excessive arrays of garments,
Nentura forth at the first sign of fair
sseathes in clothing unfit for proper!
protection against the climate," de;
clam the doctors. "Consequently they
loser the vitality of their bodies
Diess should be regulated with the
charges in temperature instead of ac
coiling to the season of the yeas."
With the advent of mild spring also
conies the inherent desire for com
munion with nature when students are
