 DEGREES. 
 
 Three courses of study are open, and it is expected that 
 others will he added, and the present courses enlarged by the 
 establishment of new professorships. 
 
 The present courses are: 
 
 1. The Classical Course, leading to the degree of Bachelor 
 of Arts, 
 
 2. The Scientific Course, leading to the degree of Bachelor 
 of Science. 
 
 3. The Course in Civil Engineering, leading to the degree 
 of Civil Engineer. 
 
 Besides these regular courses, provision is made for special 
 students desiring to pursue particular branches exclusively. 
 The University especially affords facilities for obtaining 
 special training in chemistry. Students not candidates for 
 a degree are admitted to the benefits of the instruction in 
 any one of the studies pursued in the University, except 
 elementary French and German, provided they satisfy the 
 professor in charge of their fitness to enter the class. 
 
 Any student who is a candidate for either of the foregoing- 
 degrees, must take at least fifteen hours of class-room work 
 per week during four years. 
 
 The work during the first year is rigidly prescribed, but 
 after that a large amount of option is allowed, except in the 
 Civil Engineering Course, which, being professional in its 
 nature, is mainly arranged by the professor. 
 
 The Faculty, recognizing the diverse needs and aptitudes 
 of students, have arranged the Classical and Scientific- 
 Courses upon the elective plan, so far as it seemed practicable 
 to do so, with the intention thereby to accomplish work larger 
 in amount, and better in quality, than is possible with a fixed 
 curriculum. To this end, any elective study is to be pursued 
 at least during the whole of the year in which it is chosen. 
 
 There are three terms during each year,Jhnd at the close 
 of each term, test examinations will be held.

 The following have been adopted, and will be adhered to 
 as closely as circumstances may permit. Modifications may 
 at any time be found necessary.

 four years. This may be either Ancient Languages, Mod¬ 
 ern Languages, or some other literary branch. The remain¬ 
 der of his elective time may be devoted to other full or par¬ 
 tial courses. His choice of studies need not be restricted to 
 the above, it may include some of the Natural Sciences ; 
 but literary studies must occupy the greater portion of his 
 time.

 The candidate for this degree must choose at least one 
 principal study in which to take a full course of three or 
 four years. This may be either Chemistry and Physics, 
 Natural History, Geology, Mathematics, Astronomy, or 
 some other science. The remainder of his elective time 
 may be devoted to other full or partial courses. His choice 
 of branches need not be restricted to the above, but may in¬ 
 clude languages or literary studies, but the sciences must 
 occupy the greater portion of his time.

 SCHOOL OF DESIGN.* 
 
 The special aim of this school is not merely the study of 
 Painting and Sculpture, hut also the improvement of the in¬ 
 dustrial arts, hy affording to the citizens of Cincinnati, and 
 particularly to the operative classes, a thorough, technical 
 and scientific education in Art and Design, as applied to 
 manufactures; thereby imparting to them such taste and 
 skill in the form and finish of their works, whether large or 
 small, as will always command remunerative employment, 
 and a ready sale for the products of their industry. The 
 advantages which will be derived from this School (if 
 properly sustained by our people), can scarcely be over¬ 
 estimated. Schools of Design, wdiich in foreign countries 
 (and in France especially) have long been liberally sustained 
 at the expense of government, have given great superiority 
 to their manufactures, in many of the most important 
 branches of industry. This is proved, not only by the 
 results of the great competitive Expositions, but by the 
 contents of our own stores and shops. There can be no 
 doubt but that the workmen of this country possess a 
 fertility of invention, and an expertness in the application 
 of their knowledge, which will enable them to excel in what¬ 
 ever they have the opportunity of thoroughly learning. 
 
 The Course of Instruction in this School is intended to 
 continue four years, and has been framed upon a plan which 
 the best practical experience proves to be necessary to that 
 high degree of excellence which alone can command success. 
 
 This School is now established in the fourth story of the Cincinnati College 
 Building, on Walnut street, between Fourth and Fifth.
