The warranty deed of the capitol square was given to the Territory, in consideration of $1.00 received, and the benefits and advantages to be derived from the location, by Stevens T. Mason, Julia G. Mason and Kintzing Prichett, of Detroit, and through their attorney, Moses M. Strong. It is dated Mineral Point, 16th January, 1839; and the square is described as sections 13, 14, 23 and 24, in township 7, range 9 east. This interesting document is now on file in the office of the State Treasurer.


On the admission of Wisconsin into the Union as a state, in 1848, the constitutional con- vention then permanently located the capital at Madison. The capitol building proring inadequate to the growing wants of the State, the legislature of 1837 provided for its en- largement. By this act, the commissioners of school and university lands were directed to sell the ten sections of land appropriated by congress "for the completion of public build- ings," and apply the proceeds toward enlarging and improving the state capitol. The state also appropriated $30,000 for the same object, and $50,000 was given by the city of Madison. The Governor and Secretary of State were made commissioners for conducting the work, which was begun in the fall of 1857, and continued from year to year until 1800, when the dome was completed.


The legislature of 1882 appropriated $200,000 for the construction of two transverse wings. to the capitol building, one on the north and the other on the south sides thereof, in order to provide additional room for the State Historical Society, the Supreme Court, the State Library, and for the increasing work of the state offices. The Governor, Secretary of State. Attorney General, with N. B. Van Slyke and John Winans, representing the Supreme Court, and E. W. Keyes, representing the Historical Society, were made commissioners for carry- ing out the work. The plans of architect D. R. Jones were adopted, and the bid of Bentleys & Nowlan, contractors, was accepted.


The work is now completed and the additional wings ready for occupancy. The picture of the building, elsewhere in this book, is an excellent representation of the State Capitol as it now appears.


The total appropriations for the enlargement of the capitol and for the improvement of the park to the present time are $829,992.54. This does not include the sum of $6,500 appro- priated, in 1875, for macadamizing to the center of the streets around the park.


The capitol park is nine hundred and fourteen feet square, cornering north, south, cast and west, contains fourteen and four-tenths acres, and is situated on an elevation command- Ing a view of the Third and Fourth lakes and the surrounding country. In the center of the square stands the capitol, one of the most magnificent structures of the kind in the United States. The height of the building from the basement to the top of the flag staff is 22516 feet, while the total length of its north and south wings, exclusive of steps and por- ticoes, with the addition of the new wings, is 306 feet, and of the east and west wings, 228 feet. The completeness of the arrangements ou the inside fully correspond with the fine external appearance of the capitol.

The foregoing branches are arranged in definite courses of study the general nature of which may be judged from the required studies in each given below. In most of the courses considerable opportunity is afforded for electing studies in addition to those required, and a certain amount of such electives is necessary to make up the full course of study. The students are thereby enabled to modify and adopt their courses in some measure to their own tastes and prospective professions.


ANCIENT CLASSICAL COURSE.


Required Studies -Greek, Latin, mathematics, Anglo Saxon, early English, rhetoric, English literature, psychology (followed by two terms of philosophical study), political economy, constitutional law, physics, chemistry, botany, zoology.

CIVIC HISTORICAL COURSE ANTECEDENT TO THE STUDY OF LAW AND JOUR- NALISMI.


For the accommodation of these contemplating the study of law or journalism, extended courses in civil polity, economics and historical science, together with literary and philo- sophical branches, have been arranged so as to constitute the work of the Junior and


383


STATE INSTITUTIONS.


Senior years of the collegiate course. Students are thus enabled to profit by an adaptation of their college course to their future work without essential deviation from the general purposes of collegiate training.


SPECIAL SCIENCE COURSE ANTECEDENT TO THE STUDY OF MEDICINE.


In response to a request from the Wisconsin State Medical Society, the University offers a special course in science adapted to those contemplating the study of medicine and sur gery. It embraces long thorough courses in chemistry, physics, vertebrate anatomy, his tology, zoology, botany and kindred branches, which are intended to give a broad and solid foundation for the professional medical course, while at the same time they give a large measure of collegiate culture.


SPECIAL COURSE FOR NORMAL SCHOOL GRADUATES.


To afford graduates of the State Normal Schools facilities for extending their studies ad- vantageously, and at the same time to attain a recognized standing leading to a degree, without loss of time or inconvenience arising from the want of adjustment of their previous studies to the standard college courses, special courses have been adopted by the University by which two additional years of successful study will enable graduates from the advanced Normal courses to graduate from the University with a degree.


ELEMENTARY CREEK CLASS.


For the accommodation of those who are unable to secure a preparation in Greek else- where, a course in elementary Greek is provided for those who are otherwise prepared for admission to the University (see requirements for admission following) enabling them to take the Ancient Classical Course. Five years are usually required for the completion of- the full course.
