A new elective is given in Physics; Natural History remains unaltered; while the courses in Chemistry, being as nearly perfect as possible, have undergone no particular alteration. Music has an additional elective, and Fine Arts an advanced course on the "Rise and Fall of the Arts in Athens and Venice," - a course of great interest, and one that requires a working knowledge of German and French...
