MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION.
SELECT COURSE OF STUDY.
Students who desire to confine their attention to special branches adapted to their requirements and attainments, are permitted, subject to the advice of the Faculty, to take such a course of study as they can pursue with advantage.
APPARATUS OF INSTRUCTION.
The Chemical Department is supplied with laboratory tables, and with the apparatus and chemicals requisite for a complete course of lab- oratory practice in Analytical Chemistry.
The Department of Astronomy is provided with Green's Standard Barometer and Thermometer, an Astronomical Clock, and five-feet Astronomical Transit for the use of students in Observatory Practice ; and with a Gambey's Sextant, an Artificial Horizon, and a Negus Box Chronometer, for use in Field Practice in Astronomy.
The Department of Engineering possesses an Engineer's Transit, an Engineer's Y Level, and all requisite accompaniments for the most approved kind of Office and Field work in Engineering.
The collection of Philosophical Apparatus affords the means of making a wide range of experimental illustrations in Mechanics and Physics.
CABINET COLLECTIONS.
Important aid in the study of Natural History is afforded by the Cabinet Collections, which contain upwards of 40,000 specimens, illus- trating chiefly the departments of Botany, Zoology and Geology. The collections in Entomology, Ornithology and Botany have been greatly increased during the past year, chiefly through voluntary con- tributions of the Scientific Expedition to Colorado in the summer of 1876. The Cabinets now include upwards of 3,000 species of Kansas Insects, and nearly 300 species of Kansas Birds.
LIBRARY.
The Library, containing a large number of valuable books, is open at stated times to all students. These books have been selected with great care, and embrace topics touching the various departments of Language, Literature, Philosophy, History, Mathematics, Astronomy, Chemistry and Physics, Natural History, Art &c.
48 MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION.
Under the guidance of the Professors, students are enabled to make judicious selections, at the least expense of time and trouble, a matter of great importance to inexperienced young people.
This collection of books is to be increased by an appropriation of $1,000 for 1877-8.
SOCIETIES.
Two Literary Societies, the Orophilian and the Oread, and one society of Natural History, regularly organized and maintained by the stu- dents, are in successful operation.
PAPER.
The KANSAS COLLEGIATE, with a paying subscription list, is edited and published by an association of students. This paper for the year has taken the place of the Observer of Nature heretofore published, and like its predecessor, has the approval and support of the Faculty.
MUSIC.
Instruction in Music on the Piano and Organ is given by a competent teacher, for whose services those receiving lessons pay usual rates.
Vocal Music in regular Normal Classes, has been taught free during the past year. Such instruction will be furnished for the coming year on the same conditions as instrumental music.
NORMAL DEPARTMENT.
By legislative authority, the Normal Department was opened April 3d, 1876. No provisions were made for its financial support, until by act of 1877 appropriation was made for special Normal Instruction for the six months ending June 30th, 1877. As the law is not repealed by which the department was opened, and the public needs require the special training of teachers, the Regents have made what they regard the best practicable arrangement for continuing this course of instruction. See Higher Normal Course.
GENERAL LITERARY EXERCISES.
Rhetorical exercises, consisting of orations, declamations, select read- ings, &c., are required of all students attending the University.
