For admission regular students are required to have a college diploma or its equivalent. The objects of the school, as expressed in its announcement, are as follows:
(1) To make the institution a center of investigation, gathering material illustrative of past and present social conditions with a view to the discovery of the underlying formative laws producing the growth and decay, the health and the disease of the social organism.
(2) To provide instruction in all branches of social science, implanting a knowledge of facts and theories; to train in methods of research; to give a practical acquaintance with the existing social states, or, in other words, to train a body of competent teachers and reformers.
(3) To provide for the publication of social literature which shall be both scientific and popular; and,
(4) To carry out ascertained principles of sociology into society for the elevation of its aims and ideals, and for the right direction of its progress.
The cost of tuition for the full course of a year is $50. Chester D. Hartranft is the president.
⁂
The handbook of graduate courses recently issued by Macmillan & Co. gives the following outline of courses in Social Science, Anthropology and Ethnology, offered in twenty-one of our leading educational institutions. We give the outline without comment further than the suggestion that we have here an indication of the necessity of agreement among scientific workers, as to the limits and the nomenclature of the sciences indicated.
Brackets indicate that the courses are not given in 1895-6. Courses open to undergraduates are marked with an asterisk. Following the title of the course are the number of hours per week (in small Roman) and the number of weeks of appointment with the instructor (in numerals).
