✨ University Curriculum and Road Board Elections



The Classical Professor — English language and Literature.

The Mathematical Professor — Second year’s course of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy.

The Professor of Moral Philosophy — The Physiology of Mind and Elementary Psychology.

Position of Natural Science in the Curriculum.

The Professors of Classics, Mathematics, and Mental Science, are of opinion that the Natural Sciences ought to be studied from the beginning of a student’s course, and extend over a greater part of the curriculum than is customary in any of the Scottish Universities.

The above suggestions are made in order to assist the Council in drawing up their prospectus or advertisement for insertion in the Colonial newspapers. They are the result of the comparison of the systems at work in the Universities in which the Professors themselves were educated. There are of course many details which will have to be filled in hereafter, but it is hoped that the general scheme will obtain the approval of the Council, and will assist them in answering in general terms such inquiries as may be made by intending students.

N.B.—Provision will probably be made for dispensing with attendance at the Junior Classes, in the case of persons who have attended other Universities, or who may be able to pass a strict examination in the subjects taught in those classes.

Intending students and persons desirous of obtaining additional information are requested to communicate with

JOHN HISLOP, Hon. Sec.
