In the first place the theory of the subject is very easily understood, and could be learned without difficulty by simply reading the introductions to any of the standard manuals upon the subject. The only way in which a course could be made useful would be to take up the study as an art, and have a perfect drill upon the rudiments, and, later, upon writing from dictation.

A standard of scholarship higher than that required by candidates for ordinary degrees will of course be required. In the meanwhile, in the absence of any authoritative announcements in regard to the new provision, all men who wish to be considered candidates for the A. M. are advised to present their applications...
