Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Catalogue 1916-17 and Announcements 1917-18: June, 1917 We have been unusually successful in keeping our students in college until the close of the session. The future policy of the University must now be formulated, and authorized by the Board of Trustees. We beg to suggest that military science be formally introduced into the University as a part of the prescribed work for all male students. This Course should consist not only of instruction in drilling and the manual of arms, also of recitations and lectures on military science. In addition, special emphasis should be laid upon the study of mathematics, modern languages, mechanics, and electricity. The young women Should be encouraged to take up the study of household economics, particularly those branches dealing with the preservation and conservation of foods. Beyond this, with the possible exception Of courses in agriculture, the regu lar work Of the college should not be materially modified.
