NOTES AND NEWS. IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK Columbia University includes both a college and a university in the strict sense of the words. The college is Columbia College, founded in 1754 as King's College. The university consists of the Faculties of Law, Medicine, Philosophy, Political Science, Pure Science and Applied Science. Teachers College, a professional school for teachers, while financially an independent corporation, is also a part of the university. As a professional school it is conducted by its own faculty. From the point of view of the university, its courses in education that lead to a degree fall under the Faculty of Philosophy. The point of contact between the college and the university is the senior year of the college, during which year students in the college pursue their studies, with the consent of the college faculty, under one or more of the faculties of the university. Each school is under the charge of its own Faculty, except that the Schools of Mines, Chemistry, Engineering and Architecture are under the charge of the Faculty of Applied Science. For the better conduct of the strictly university work, as well as of the whole institution, a university council has been established. I. The College The college offers a course of four years, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Candidates for admission to the college must be at least fifteen years of age, and pass an examination on prescribed subjects, the particulars concerning which may be found in the annual Circular of Information. II. The University In a technical sense, the Faculties of Law, Medicine, Philosophy, Political Science, Pure Science, and Applied Science, taken together constitute the university. These faculties offer advanced courses of study and investigation, respectively, in (a) private or municipal law, (b) medicine, (c) philosophy, philology and letters, (d) history, economics and public law, (e) mathematics and natural science, and applied science. Courses of study under all of these faculties are open to members of the senior class in the college and also to all students who have successfully pursued an equivalent course of undergraduate study to the close of the junior year. These courses lead, through the Bachelor's degree, to the university degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. The degree of Master of Laws is also conferred for advanced work in law done under the Faculties of Law and Political Science together. III. The Professional Schools The Faculties of Law, Medicine and Applied Science, conduct respectively the professional schools of Law, Medicine, and Mines, Chemistry, Engineering and Architecture, to which students are admitted as candidates for professional degrees on terms prescribed by the faculties concerned. The faculty of Teachers College conducts professional courses for teachers, that lead to the diploma of Teachers College. 1. The School of Law, established in principles and practice of private and pub1858, offers a course of three years, in the lic law, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Laws. 2. The College of Physicians and Surgeons, founded in 1807, offers a course of four years, in the principles and practice of medicine and surgery, leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine. 3. The School of Mines, established in 1864, offers courses of study, each of four years, leading to a professional degree, in mining engineering and in metallurgy. 4. The Schools of Chemistry, Engineering and Architecture, set off from the School of Mines in 1896, offer respectively, courses of study, each of four years, leading to an appropriate professional degree, in analytical and applied chemistry; in civil, sanitary, electrical, and mechanical engineering; and in architecture. 5. Teachers College, founded in 1888 and chartered in 1889 was included in the University in 1898. It offers courses of study, each of four years, leading to the college diploma, for secondary, elementary and kindergarten teachers. It also offers courses of two years, leading to a departmental diploma in Art, Domestic Science, Domestic Art and Manual Training. Certain of its courses are accepted by Columbia University, and may be taken by students of the university in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy, without extra charge. SETH LOW, LL.D., President. NEW BOOKS A NEW BOOK BY SIR GEORGE TREVELYAN. The American Revolution, 1766-1776 By Sir GEORGE OTTO TREVELYAN, Bart., author of "The Life and Letters of Lord MACAULAY," and The Early History of Charles James Fox." 8vo, pp. xiv.-434, with a Map of Boston, cloth, gilt top, $3.00. "I cannot refrain from heartily recommending this book, not only to historical students, but to general readers as well. It is accurate; it is written with sympathetic intelligence; it represents broad culture as well as special knowledge; it is interesting; and, finally, it is important as coming from an Englishman who treats both sides of the great struggle with perfect fairness. I have read it from beginning to end with a pleasure that puts me in mind of the contention made-if I recollect rightlyby Sir George Trevelyan's famous uncle, that a good history ought to be more interesting than a good novel. Lord Macaulay's own history certainly leaves nearly all novels behind it in this respect; Sir George Trevelyan's leaves not a few."-Book Buyer, New York. A History of British India By Sir WILLIAM WILSON HUNTER, K.C.S.I, M.A., LL.D., a Vice-President of the Royal Asiastic Society. In five volumes. Volume I.-Introductory to the overthrow of the English in the Spice Archipelago. 8vo, pp. iv.-475, with four Colored Maps and an Index, $5.00. 'Every page of the volume speaks of diligent research. Everywhere presides a sober, caln judgment. A fascinating story of prowess and skill. . . Told with great clearness and vividness, and with a wealth of incident which the adventure novelist must envy.”—London Times. "The book is written not merely with knowledge, but with vision, and if the promise of the opening instalment is maintained, there can be little doubt that Sir William Hunter's History o British India' will remain for at least the first quarter of the coming century the standard work o reference on so vast and complicated a subject."-Leeds Mercury. England in the Age of Wycliffe By GEORGE MACAULAY TREVELYAN, B.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. 8vo, $4.00. "It cannot but take rank as a leading authority in its own subject and one of the most importan among recent contributions to English historical literature."-Scotsman. "His book is among the most elaborate monographs on this period that exist. His work on the history of the Peasants' Revolt shows him at his best . . . His account of the insurrection in Londot is quite the best thing in the book, and is by far the most vivid and complete narrative of that side o the movement that we at present possess."—Athenæum, London.
