GENERAL STATEMENTS AS TO The Johns Hopkins University will commence its twenty-fourth year of instruction on October 1, 1899. The work will go forward in these divisions: The Graduate department, in which arrange- ments are made for the instruction of advanced students in the higher studies of literature and science; The Undergraduate or Collegiate department, in which students receive a liberal education leading up to the degree of Bachelor of Arts; The Medical department, in which students who have already received a liberal education are re- ceived as candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine, and in which Doctors of Medicine may attend special courses. In other words, arrangements are made for the instruction of the following classes 1 Graduate students and other qualified persons desiring to continue for one or more years their liberal education, and possibly to become candi- dates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy; 2. Graduate students and other qualified persons wishing to proceed to the degree of Doctor of Medicine; 3. Doctors of Medicine who desire to follow special courses of lectures and laboratory work; 4. Undergraduates looking forward to the degree of Bachelor of Arts; 5. Special students who have not received an academic degree and are not candidates for a degree, but who desire to follow special courses of instruction in literature and science. The medical department is open to women; the other departments are not. A new academic building, called McCoy Hall, in commemoration of its donor, contains the library THE COURSES OF INSTRUCTION. and the class-rooms in language, literature, history, and philosophy. Laboratories are provided in Chemistry, Physics and Electricity, Geology and Mineralogy, and in the Biological Sciences (Anatomy, Physiology, Zo6logy, and Pathology). Seminaries are organized in the Greek, Latin, French, German, English, Sanskrit, and Semitic languages, and also in History and Political Sci- ence. There are various scientific associations and journal clubs which hold regular meetings. The Library contains ninety thousand volumes, part of xvhich are kept in the central reading room, while the remainder of the books are distributed according to their subjects in the different labora- tories and seminaries. The Library of the Peabody Institute contains one hundred and thirty-three thousand volumes. These books are selected with reference to the wants of scholars. They are well chosen, well arranged, well bound, and well catalogued, and are accessible daily from nine in the morning until half-past ten in the evening. The proximity of Baltimore to Washington en- ables the students to visit the libraries, museums, and scientific foundations of the Capital. The academic year extends from the first of October to the fifteenth of June. The charge for tuition is one hundred and fifty dollars per annum in the graduate and undergrad- uate departments, and two hundred dollars in the medical department. The Annual Register, giving full statements as to the regulations and work of the University, and separate announceiuents of the Medical Courses, will be sent on application.

[Amore detailed programmehas been separately issuedand may behad on application.] The instruction in Geology is under, the direction of Dr. WM. BULLOCK CLARK, Professor of Organic Geology, assisted by Dr. HARRY FIELDING REID, Associate Professor of Geological Phys- ics, Dr. EDWARD B. MATHEWS, AssociateProfessor of Mineralogy and Petrography, Dr. GEORGE B. SHATTUCK, Associate in Phys- iographic Geology, and Dr. OLIVER L. FASSIG, Instructor in Meteorology. An important course of lectures will be given by Mr. BAILEY WILLIS, of the United States Geological Survey, Lecturer on Stratigraphic and Structural Geology, and briefer courses by Professor CLEVELAND ABBE, of the United States Weather Bureau, Lecturer on Meteorology, and Dr. L. A. BAUER, of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, Lecturer on Terrestrial Magnetism. The George Huntington Williams Memorial Lectureship upon the Principles of Geology was inaugurated during the session of 1896—97 by Sir Archibald Geikie, Director-General of the Geo- logical Surveys of Great Britain and Ireland. The second course of lectures will be given during the coming session, in April, 1900, by Dr. XV. C. Br6gger, Professor of Geology in the Univer- sity of Christiania, Norway. Courses are offered to both graduates and undergraduates. In the case of graduate students, the work is arranged to meet the wants (1) of those who desire to make Geology their principal subject for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and (2) of those who wish to select certain courses in Geology for one or both of their subordinate subjects, the major subject being taken in another department. Special arrangements may also be made by gradu- ate students whose time is limited, or who desire to devote their attention to particular courses without reference to a degree. In the case of.undergraduate students, Geology may be taken either as one of the major or as one of the minor courses for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The courses in Geology consist of lectures, laboratory and field work, and conferences upon topics of current literature. Great importance is attached to laboratory training as a part of the geological course, and facilities are given for daily work from 9 a. m. to 5 p.m. LECTURE COURSES. 1. General Geology, by Professor Clark and Dr. Shattuck. Four times weekly. 2. Paleontology, by Professor Clark. Twice weekly. 3. Historical Geology, by Professor Clark. Twice weekly. 4.

Lectures in April, 1900. LABORATORY WORK. Laboratory courses are arranged to accompany the lectures, while advanced or special students will be given the opportunity to carry on fuller investigations upon either described or new materials. CONFERENCES AND STUDENT LECTURES. In order that the advanced students may be kept in touch with the most recent investigations in the science, conferences are held at which ‘the leading journals in geology are reviewed by the students under the direction of the instructors. The conferences take place hi-weekly. In order that the advanced students may also have the expe- rience necessary for the successful preparation and delivery of class-room lectures, a course upon some phase of geology is arranged, a special topic being assigned to each student. The lectures take place hi-weekly, alternating with the conferences. FIELD WORK. The area of the State of Maryland includes, notwithstanding its comparatively small size, a remarkable sequence of geological formations. The ancient rocks of the earth’s crust, as well as those still in the process of deposition, are found, while between these wide limits there is hardly a geological epoch which is not represented. As a result, most excellent facilities are afforded for a study of the various geological horizons. GEOLOGICAL CAMP. Arrangements are made annually for a geological encampment of several weeks after the close of the class-room lectures at the University. GEOLOGICAL LABORATORY AND LIBRARY. The Geological Laboratory is situated in Hopkins Hall, and comprises over thirty rooms, large and small. Here are placed the library, apparatus and collections, which are accessible to the student daily from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. In accordance with the custom of the University, those hooks relating to the work of the Geological Department are given into its charge, the hooks of general reference being retained in the University Library. The library of the Geological Department contains a good representation of the leading journals and works of reference upon geological subjects. It is greatly enriched by tise Williams, Lewis and Abbe libraries. Extensive series of topograpisical and geolo,,ical maps likewise form a portion of the library, and these are constantly increasing in number. APPARATUS AND COLLECTIONS. The collections of the department consist primarily of a large amount of important material brought together from Maryland and adjacent States. It represents all the horizons of the State, being especially rich in crystalline rocks, and in Cretaceous and 77 78 JOHNS HOPKINS [No. 141. Tertiary fossils. Some of this material has been already described; while much awaits further study. Among the most important of the special collections are: The Williams collection of rocks and minerals, the Lewis collection of rocks and thin sections, the Krantz collection of fossils, the Hill collection of rocks and characteristic fossils from the Cretaceous formations of Texas, and the Sturtz, the Lehmann, and the Allen collections. STATE SCIENTIFIc BUREAUS CONNECTED WITH THE GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. Two scientific bureaus, established by the Legislature and maintained at the expense of the State, are carried on in connec- tion with the Geological Department. They are the Maryland Geological and Economic Survey, and the Maryland State Weather Service. Professor Clark is in charge of both of these organizations, which are concerned with a study of the geology and physical features of the State of Maryland. A sum of $27,000 annually is appropriated by the State for these bureaus. THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES. The courses in the Biological Sciences are designed (1) for students who wish to make Zodlogy, Botany, Animal Physiology, Anatomy, or Pathology a subject of advanced study and research, or the principal or a subordinate subject for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy; (2) for graduates in medicine who desire special courses in one or more of these subjects; (3) for undergraduates who desire some knowledge of the biological sciences as part of a liberal education; and (4) for undergraduates who desire to pre- pare themselves for the study of medicine. The various laboratories are open daily during the session from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. The work is conducted under the direction of the professors of the different departments. Graduate Courses. ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY. The work in Zodlogy and Botany is directed by Dr. W. K. Brooks, Professor of Zodlogy, assisted by Dr. E. A. Andrews, Associate Professor of Biology, Dr. D. S.

Captain John Donnell Smith, of Baltimore, has kindly consented to allow students to avail themselves of tbe opportunities offered in his private herbarium, which includes some 78,000 sheets of specimens from all parts of the world, and which is especially rich in its representation of tbe Flora of the United States and of the American tropics. He has also offered to special students the privilege of consulting his extensive botanical library. Students of Botany have access also to the Schimper collection of European phanerogams, the Fitzgerald collection of mosses, and the local collection of the Baltimore Naturalists’ Field Club. Library Facilities. A working library of monographs and periodicals for students of Zoiilogy and Botany is contained in the Biological Laboratory of the University. A similar library for students of Physiology, Anatomy, and Pathology is provided in the building of the Medical School. The general library of the University receives all the chief journals of general science, and the transactions of the leading learned societies of the world. The library of the Peabody Institute, within five minutes’ walk of the University, contains complete sets of many of the chief biological journals, of the proceedings of learned societies, and other works of reference. In the libraries of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland and the Johns Hopkins Hospital a large number of medical periodicals are accessible to members of the University. Publications. The University Circulars and the Hospital Bulletins provide for the prompt publication of abstracts of researches, or parts of researches, as soon as they are completed and ready for publication. From time to time extensive memoirs of investigations~in Zo6logy are issued by the University Press in a series of illustrated quarto Morpho- logical Monographs. Collegiate Instruction. The regular undergraduate instruction in normal biology ex- tends over two years. The first year constitutes a minor course and may be taken separately. Special students, who are not graduates or matriculates, may enter the courses for undergraduates, on giving satisfactory evi- dence of fitness. In addition to valuable training of the powers of observation and thought, the courses in Biology present the science of life in its most fundamental aspects, and thus serve as a basis for the study of the phenomena of human existence dealt with in History, Political Economy, Psychology, and Ethics. They are open to all students, no previous training being required; and they will be found useful to those looking forward to a career in the ministry, to those designing to enter the medical profession, and to all who are interested in Natural History. In addition to the regular courses, the excursions of the Naturalists’ Field Club, which are open to all, afford opportunities for a less formal study of Nature. Miinor Course. (Required of all who wish to enter the medical school.) General Biology. Five to six hours laboratory work and four lectures and exercises weekly, through the year. Associate Professor ARDREWS, with the aid of Dr. BARTON and laboratory assistants. In the laboratory, the student studies, with the aid of the microscope and dissections, the life-history and structure of certain animals and plants; the skeletons of man and animals; the development of the frog and the fowl; and the elements of systematic botany. In the lecture room, funda- mental facts and laws are emphasized. Miojor Course. This course is designed for those who intend to teach zod’ogy; for those who look forward to advanced studies in zodlogy; for those who desire an acquaintance with the elements of zodlogy, and with comparative anatomy and embryology, as a part of a’liberal education, and for those students who,having completed the minor course in biology, preliminary to medi- cine, desire a wider acquaintance with the animal kingdom. 1. Laboratory work in Zodlogy, Comparative Anatomy, and Embryology. Six hours a week throughout the year. Professor BRooKs and Dr. ANixaEws and laboratory assistants. 79 JOHNS HOPKINS B.

Course 6 sketches briefly the history of the science of language; presents a concise account of the ethnological history of the Judo-European (Aryan) peoples; deals with the fundamental questions of growth and change in language; and finally treats of the origin of language. Course 7 will be carried on in practical conferences, for the purpose of familiarizing students of language and philology in general with the nature of spoken sounds. Course 8 is intended as an introduction into the most elementary methods and results of the comparative grammar of the most important Indo Euro- pean languages. Course 9 is to be given for the first time in t.his Univer- sity; it was preceded for the last two years by an elementary and advanced course in Lithuanian; these two most important languages of the Balto- Slavic family will hereafter be treated alternately from year to year. ENGLISH. A. Professor BRIGHT will conduct the following courses: I. English Seminary. Graduate students are admitted to the Seminary as soon as they have satisfied initial requirements for independent research. The discipline of the Seminary is designed to impart training in scholarly methods of dealing with literary and linguistic problems. Study and investigation are bestowed upan selected periods of literary history, upon departments of literature extend- ing through successive periods, and upon the works of important writers, separately or in groups. Usually there is a change of subject each half-year. The following subjects are announced for the academic year beginning October 1, 1899: (a) Epic poetry in England, especially the Beowulf, and Milton’s Paradise Lost (first half-year); (b) The Prose Literature of the reign of King Alfred the Great (second half year). The meetings of the Seminary will occupy four hours a week. Tuesday and Thursday, 3—5 p. m. II. Lectures on English Grammar. Thursday, 12 in., first half-year; Wednesday, 4p. sa., second half-year.

The German Seminary will be conducted by Professor WOOD. The subject for the first half-year will be Goethe’s Faust. In the study of the First Part, beginning with the ‘Urfaust,’ the questions of conception and composition of the drama will be considered, in chronological order, from the point of view of the development of Goethe’s mind and art. The Second Part will be interpreted in selected portions, and Goethe’s drafts of particular scenes and of the uncompleted plot will be considered, together with the Parali- pomena. During the second half-year, the Middle High Germaii Court Epic will he studied comparatively, in Hartmann von Ane’s Iwein, and Gottfried von Strassburg’s Tristan und Isolde. Besides considering the development of epic treatment, and of the cosupo- sition and style of Middle High German Court poetry, this course is intended to prepare for the study of Wolfram’s Parzival, during the following year. The Seminary will meet three times weekly, through the year. Students are requested to procure von Loeper’s edition of Goethe’s Faust, 2 vols.; Goethe’s Faust in urspriinglicher Gestalt, by Erich Schmidt, 3d Edi- tion; Paralipornena in Faust, and Wiirterbueh iiiFaust, both by Fr.
