I I 1 S T OR r . O.v the 28th of February, 18-30, about two years and a half subsequent to the settlement of this Territory, the Legislative Assembly of the Provisional Government passed an act incor­porating the "University of the State of Deseret." This act, among others of the Provisional Government, was ratified by the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Utah, October. 4th, 1851. According to the charter thus obtained, all authority in respect to property, government, and administration, is ves­ted in a chancellor and a board of twelve regents, who are elected by the legislature to hold office for the term of one year and until their successors are qualified. The first meeting of the Board of Regents, presided over by Chancellor Orson Spencer, was held March 13th, 1850. On the second Monday in November following its incor­poration, the University was for the first time open for the admission of students. Dr. Cyrus Collins was placed in charge as instructor, but was succeeded the same year by Prof. Orson Spencer, A. M., and W. W. Phelps. Owing, however, to the immature condition of its finances, as well as the limited pat­ronage it received, the department of instruction was soon discontinued, the University continuing for many years in abeyance, and having but a nominal existence until November, 1SG7. This department was then re-organizerl under the supervision of Mr. D. 0. Calder, but was conducted chiefly as a commercial college until the 8th of March, 1869, when, under the superintendence of Dr. John It. Park, it was more fully organized as an institution for scientific, normal, and ] 2 UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. classical instruction, and, as such, has continued to the pres­ent time. In 1884, the Legislature amended the charter, giving the institution definite power to confer degrees and to issue dip­lomas. ADMISSION. T h e University is open to studeuts of both sexes, who will be admitted at any time, though it is greatly desired and better that they enter at the beginning of the academic year, in September, or at least at the beginning of a semester. At the beginning of each term, there will be an examin­ation of all applicants for the purpose of finding out their pro­ficiency, when the studies they may pursue will be deter­mined. No student will be permitted to take at the same time more than four studies iu the Normal, Scientific, or Classical Preparatory Course, nor more than five studies of any grade. Candidates for admission to the institution should be able to sustain an examination in reading, arithmetic, English grammar, geography, and spelling. Although these branches are included in the Preliminary .Course provided by the insti­tution, yet the plan and the character of the instruction given in this course are such that they contemplate some previous knowledge of these subjects. No applicant, however, will be excluded from this course, provided he has attained a proper age. For admission to the Scientific or the Classical Prepara­tory Course, the student must first pass an examination in all the studies of the Preliminary Course. Persons who expect to enter the University should not purchase their text-books before consulting the President of the Faculty, or some member of the Board of Instruction. BENEFICIARY. In order to assist persons in the Territory who may be desirous of attending the institution, and yet are unable to bear ths cost of tuition, the Chancellor and Board of Regents have established a beneficiary foundation. By its provisions, such persons are admitted as students in the University free of charffc. Those who desire to avail themselves of this provision may first apply to the President of the Faculty. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. Besides this beneficiary arrangement, the Territorial Leg­islature has provided that forty pupils annually shall be instructed free of charge for tuition, books, and apparatus, in the Normal Department of the University. These pupils are to be selected by the Territorial Superin­tendent of District Schools, from persons nominated by the boards of examination of the several counties, according to the district school population. The only condition attached to this provision is, that for each year's free tuition so received, the students shall servo one year as district school teachers, if required so to do by their respective county superintendents. RAILROAD PRIVILIGES. T h r o u g h the patronizing liberality of the officers of the Utah Central, the Union Pacific, the I 'tah and Northern, the Park City, the Utah and Nevada, and the Denver and Rio Grande railways, the students of the University have the benefit of greatly reduced fares while traveling over these lines during their attendance at the institution. Persons who intend to become students of the University may, on application, receive half-fare permits to Salt Lake City over any of the above-named railways, provided their application states their intention of entering the University immediately on their arrival in Salt Lake City, and is indorsed by some well-known and responsible citizen of the Territory. Such applications should be made to the pres­ident of the institution. GO VERNMENT. T h e University is under the control of a chancellor and board of twelve regents, elected biennially by the joint vote of the Legislative Assembly of the Territory. They select the faculty and its president, and other members of the board of instruction, and provide for the necessities and general wel­fare of the institution. The immediate government and discipline of the school rest with the faculty. In these respects, the institution is mild, yet decided and firm, seeking to maintain order and harmony rather by the inculcation of principles of morality, honor, and self-respect, than by the infliction of punishments. 14 UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. When, however, a student indulges in persistent or wilful infractions of the regulations of the institution, or is guilty of immoral or disgraceful conduct, his connection therewith will be dissolved, by private or public suspension or expulsion, as decided by the judgment of the faculty. APPARA1 US. T he mathematical, physical, and chemical apparatus in possession of the University is sufficently complete to illus­trate, with a good degree of fullness, the subjects of physical science. Means of illustration in other departments of the University are not wanting, to all of which important addi­tions are being made continually. But to announce the possession of valuable apparatus by the institution for the purposes of illustration, does not indi­cate its full value to the student. He is made acquainted with the structure of the instruments used, and taught how to man­ipulate them, whenever such knowledge is of importance to him. MUSEUM. The museum of the University contains a collection of several thousand specimens. These comprise the subjects of mineralogy, geology, botany, human anatomy, zoology, chem­istry, and much that is miscellaneous in character. The design is to make a special feature in the museum of the mineralogy and flora of the Territory, and also to repre­sent as fully as possible its geology and fauna, and thus to form a still more immediate and valuable aid to illustration in the department of natural history. Contributions to the museum are solicited from all per-sous interested in the educational and material development of this intermontane region. Donations will appear in the cabinets of the museum under the name of the contributor, and a list of specimens thus collected each year, with the donors' names, will be published in the An n u a l of the Uni­versity. Express or freight charges on specimens will be assumed by the University. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. A 1 TEN DANCE AND DEPORTMENT. A d a i ly record is kept of all the students in such a way as to afford a full exhibit of their habits in regard to attend­ance, regularity, and punctuality in their duties. This exhibit will be sent to the parents or guardian of each student when desired. LIBRARY AND READING ROOM. A i .i u r a e y and reading room has been established in connection with the University, to which, under proper regu­lations, all the students have access. The library contains over three thousand volumes of standard and miscellaneous works, and is a most valuable aid to the student in his studies. I t is open each day, except Saturday and Sunday, throughout the academic year. LITER AR Y SOCIETIES. Two literary societies for young men. the Delta Phi and the Zeta ( iamma, and one for young ladies, the Edina, are organized among the students of the University. These soci­eties are strictly under the control and surveillance of the faculty, and have for their objects the practical training of their members in oratory, legitimate debate, declamation, com­position, and parliamentary rules and order. EXAMINATIONS. Os the completion of each study, an examination of the class is made by the instructor, to determine the proficiency of students in the study pursued. Examinations are con­ducted mostly in writing. GRADUATION. S tu d en t s who pass an examination in all the studies of the Scientific Course are entitled to the degree of Bachelor of Science. 10 UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. Those who in like manner complete the Normal or the Classical Preparatory Course will receive a certificate to that effect. No certificate is granted for completing the Preliminary Course alone. BOARD AND ROOMS. T n E University has no facilities for supplying its students with board, lodging, or rooms. Good board and lodging, however, can be procured in the city, in private families, at reasonable rates, ranging from $3.00 to 85.00 per week. Mnny students from the country, by renting rooms and boarding themselves, reduce even these rates. Rooms for this purpose can be obtained at a rent of from $3.00 to 86.00 per month, varying with their character and location. Those who desire assistance in procuring board or rooms may apply to the janitor in the University building, who will render them every aid possible. BUILDING. M o r e than five years ago, an effort was made to secure from the Legislature an appropriation with which to purchase suitable grounds and to erect a building for University pur ­poses. The effort was partly successful, and the sum of $20,000 was appropriated for the objects named. This amount being scarcely more than sufficient to pur ­chase the necessary grounds, an appeal was made to the municipal council of Salt Lake City for aid in this direction. The result was a generous donation to the institution, for University purposes, of the finest public square in the city. The appropriation from the Legislature, or the greater part of it, was immediately expended towards the erection of the new building, which it raised to the height of the base­ment story. I t was confidently expected that an amount sufficient to complete the building would be appropriated by the Legisla­ture at its next session, in 1882, but a bill for that purpose failed to receive the governor's approval. The officers of the institution were thus left without means to continue the work begun. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. 17 In view of the facts tliat the school was suffering through the want of sufficient room to accommodate its students and to carry on its work of instruction, and that the unfinished building was in danger of waste and destruction through exposure and want of care, and that the entire grounds donated conditionally by the city, together with the work already done upon the building, were liable to forfeit, they determined to make an effort to raise means to relieve these unfortunate conditions. In this effort they were suc­cessful. By loans and voluntary contributions from cit­izens, a sufficient amount was raised to erect the entire walls and roof the building in, and even to prepare two rooms in it to accommodate a large class of students during the winter following. I t was again hopefully expected that a legislative appro­priation would come to the relief of the institution, at its next session ia 1884, and not only re-imburse those citizens who had so generously contributed to aid the institution, but pro­vide a sufficient fund to complete the structure. Executive disapproval, however, of a bill for that purpose again left the school without that much needed support. Nevertheless, the chancellor and regents decided to go on with the work of constructing the building and to look for a material endorsement of their course from those who favor liberal education and free institutions. The new building, therefore, was occupied by the entire school at the beginning of the academic year in August 1884, though barely a sufficient number of rooms for this purpose were completed. Since that time, wholly by means of tuition fees, another floor of the building has been made ready for occupation by the school. The advantages of the University have thus been greatly augmented; and better facilities than heretofore are now offered ttie student because of the increased usefulness of the library and museum, that results from this change. At the last session of the Legislature,'disapproval by the executive of the general appropriation bill, again left the institution without state support. IS UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. COU R S E S OF S TU D Y . 1. P R E L IM IN A R Y CO U R SE . T he studies of this course are designed to be preparatory to the other courses of the institution. A successful examin­ation in all the studies of this course, therefore, must he passsd before an application for a certificate of graduation or a diploma iu any of the other courses of study prescribed by the institution will be received. Cnlike the arrangement of previous years, this course can not now be completed in two terms, but the studies extend without interruption to the end of the academic -year, when the examination will be held. No certificate of graduation is issued for this course. STUDIES. FIRST SEMESTER. F i r T e r m. Second) Term. Writing. Reading and English Composition. Arithmetic. Grammar. Geography. Writing.

WINTER COURSE. 19 As a matter of accommodation to students who can attend school during the winter months only, the officers of the institution have established an intermediate semester course of study, which begins with the second term, or about the first of November, and ends with the third term, or about the first of April. To those who wish practical instruction within the scope of studies comprised in this course, this winter school is admirably adapted, as it is made eminently practical in knowl­edge and discipline.

N O RM A L CO U R SE . T h i s course was originally designed for those intending to become teachers in our district schools, and has been spe­cially prepared for that purpose. While this object is a prim­ary one, yet the benefits of the course are by no means con­fined to school teachers. Every one who may have the care of children, whether in school or at home, will find this course of study and discipline a profitable one. The instruc­tion given is of the most practical character, embracing the every-day work of the teacher at school, as well as that of parents in educating their children at home. Not only are the principles which lie at the foundation of real successful work in training the young elucidated, and impressed upon the student, but the illustrations are such as to give them a visible and tangible effect. The studies and their arrangement as here presented are approved by the Territorial Superintendent of District Schools, as required by law, and the normal student must take the studies in their prescribed order, unless he obtains special permission to do otherwise. I Each student, on the completion of tli.s course, under the regulations of the institution, will receive a certificate of graduation. STUDIES. F I RST YEAR. F I R S T .

This course extends through four years, the time usually allotted to it 111 the best institutions of the country. The time provided is sufficient to give the student as complete informa­tion on the various subjects as can be expected in such a course, without making specialties of them. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. 21 Every effort hus been made to arrange the coarse so as to place the studies in the natural order, and thus each new one becomes in part a review and supplement of the study just completed. But in cases where no such natural relation exists, the studies have been so arranged that when a knowl­edge of one will be of any assistance to the acquisition of another, the order in which they occur will secure this end. When the student has passed an examination in all the studies of this course, he will have conferred upon him the degree of Bachelor of Science, and will receive a diploma. STUDIES. First Term.

O w i n g to the limited patronage of this department in the past, classes hereafter will not be formed in the studies of the course, unless the number of students shall be sufficient to just­ify their organization. When, however, the number of appli­cants is not sufficient for this purpose, the student who is desir­ous of taking Latin or any other study in the course, with the exception of Greek, can do so by joining the classes regularly organized in these studies in the Scientific Course. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. 23 This course is intended to prepare students for entering the freshman year of any of our best classical institutions. While this object is a primary one, and has served as a basis for the selection and arrangement of its studies, still the course is complete in itself. I t furnishes an amount of Latin and Greek sufficient for ordinary philological purposes, and of great practical utility in the study and application of the sciences, as well as in the study and pursuit of the higher professions.

I t may be observed that instruction in the University, as at present arranged, is divided into four courses. This arrangement is designed to exhibit briefly the lati­tude and character of the instruction imparted. I t is not necessary that a student who designs to complete any one or more of the courses dictated by the institution, shall pursue the studies of the course continuously or without interruption. Whenever he passes examination in any study, the result is recorded to his credit, so that when he completes all the stud­ies of any course, except the preliminary, he is entitled to a diploma or a certificate of graduation in that course. Experience has shown that a majority of those who attend the University for the first time are greatly benefited by tak­ing the studies of the Preliminary Course before proceeding to those of the higher courses. On this account, the common branches are taught in the University and arranged into a separate course designed to be preparatory to the other courses of the institution. In these studies, every effort is made to insure practical results, the instruction coming directly from the teacher, and the principles taught being applied by the student to a great variety of exercises for practice. Moreover, the arrangement is such that the student may complete all the common branches in one year; but, unless he has some previous knowledge of these subjects, he may find the course too difficult. The Normal Course has been established on its present basis in pursuance of an act of the Legislature of Utah, pro­viding for the instruction of forty normal students annually, in the University, free of charge for tuition, books, and appa­ratus. The law provides that such students shall be selected by the Territorial Superintendent of District Schools, from persons nominated by the boards of examination of the sev­eral counties. 28 FN1 VERS1TY OF DESERET. The Normal Department lias been in successful operation since its creation, in ]K75. The studies and training in its course are selected and arranged with a view to special prep­aration, on the pari of its students, for the business of teach­ing- . . . . The studies in the different courses are designed to be essentially practical, not practical, however, in the sense that implies ignorance of principles, and that comprehends merely a facility acquired through habit. They are intended to furnish the elements of knowledge and to awaken and establish habits of thought upon all subjects of consideration, so that whatever profession or trade may be selected by the Student, after com­pleting his course, he will be prepared to pursue it intelli­gently, and to determine results rather through rational inquiry and consistent application, than through blind empiri­cism. Those of the Scientific Course may be said to comprise a series of special courses as that of English literature, history, politics, mathematics, natural science, chemistry, drawing, German, mental science, etc. ENGLISH LITERATURE. This course includes a study of the English language, with a view to the acquisition, by the student, of correct hab­its of general and self criticism in the use of the language, and of the effective powers of expression, both oral and writ­ten. To discipline the judgment and to develop and refine the literary taste, the works of many of the best authors are studied and critically examined. On the basis of English composition, elocution, and Eng­lish grammar, as taught in the Preliminary Course, the study of literature is taken up. Commencing the year with rhetoric and continuing through English literature and the study of Chaucer and Shakespeare, the student has a complete course in our language. Instruction is imparted through lectures and the text-book. There are also regular exercises in com­position throughout the year. MENTAL SCIENCE AND LOGIC. T h e course in mental science is designed to give the stu­dent a knowledge of the fundamental principles of the UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. human mind. Questions which belong more properly to speculative philosophy than to the science of mind are dis­cussed only for the general information of the student. The subject is taught by lectures and the text-book. The lectures are supplemented by a course of reading, and students are required to test principles by comparing them with their own mental processes. The faculties of the intellect, sense-per-ception, imagination, and reason, are taken up in their order of development; then the emotions and will are studied. Special attention is continually given to the bearing of the subject upon education, and the best methods of training each faculty of the mind are considered. Logic is taught during the last term of the year, and pre­supposes some knowledge of mental processes. The first part of the work in this branch is devoted to the doctrine of judg­ments and syllogisms. During the last part of the term, practical logic is studied in its treatment of proof and fal­lacies. HISTORY. In the course of general and special history, the object is not to memorize alone the conspicuous events of past times, but to consider them rather as land-marks in the course, or, perhaps, more appropriately, as results whose causes may be found in the study of the habits and thoughts of the people of contemporaneous and previous times. Royalty and arms are studied more as the exponents of popular thought and feeling than for any practical value in themselves. The knowledge of history acquired in the course is utilized as far as possible, by its practical adaptation to the events and circum­stances of our own times, and thus is made to exhibit the philosophy of intelligent prophecy. POLITICS. T h e course of politics is embraced in the study of civil government, political economy, and law. In the study of civil government, the student is made acquainted with the various forms of political government, their character, peculiarities, and effects, and intimately with the history and detailed workings of our own. 30 UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. The class is organized into a society, governed by parlia-mentry law, and takes up lor discussion the different sections and clauses of the Constitution, as they are given in Town­send's Analysis of Civil Government. International law is also briefly considered, but at suffi­cient length, however, to give the student a clear understand­ing of its orign, importance, and effects. Commercial and business forms are exhibited and explained; moot courts are also held, in which ordinary suits are carried on by the class. In the study of political economy are taught the guiding principles to be considered in all schemes for national and individual wealth. LA W. To supplement the course in civil government and polit­ical economy, a series of lectures is given during the second semester, upon the elements of law, including its nature, sources, and application. These lectures are intended to be preliminary to a fuller course of study on the same subject in the future, and to lead finally to the establishment, in connection with the University, of a complete law department. MATHEMATICS. In the course of mathematics, a full exhibit is given of the principles of exact reasoning. The importance of truth and well established facts in the consideration of every sub­ject worthy of contemplation, is thus made apparent, and hab­its of definite and concentrated thought induced. The studies lead to surveying, which includes a practical acquaintance with instruments and field work. Especial care is taken that the student shall thoroughly understand the different operations, and shall be enabled to formulate his own rules when necessary. NA TURAL SCIENCE. I n the study of natural science, ample opportunity is offered to the student for a practical acquaintance with its UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. 31 subjects. The cabinets of the University contain material for illustration in zoology, geology, and botany; besides, an extensive and valuable collection of apparatus and chemicals offers rare facilities for illustration in chemistry and physics, and for laboratory practice. In addition to these advantages ■offered the scientific student in the University, free access is also given him to the extensive and diversified collections of the Deseret Museum, a privilege due to the favor and patron­age of the custodian. PHYSIOLOGY. Anatomy and physiology are studied with the view of establishing a basis for the proper care of the body in health and sickness, and of laying a foundation for comparison in zoology. The simple and noticeable features of structure and function are considered first, afterwards, the more complex and obscure. The plan of the human body and the character of its tissues are exhibited by the dissection of animals before the class. The student has an opportunity of studying under the microscope the circulation of the blood, and the minute structure of bone, muscle, nerve, etc. He also has the use of a disarticulated skeleton and numerous anatomical pre­parations which furnish sufficient material for arriving at a good practical knowledge of anatomy and physiology. ZOOLOGY. A b r i e f survey is taken of the several branches of the animal kingdom before a systematic study of the orders and genera commences. After a general knowledge of the science is obtained, attention is directed to the local fauna. The museum of the University has ample material for making the subject of zoology eminently practical. The stu­dent has access to a good collection of typical marine animals for general biological work, and from a study of the specimens themselves, arrives at a knowledge of the fundamental pr in­ciples of animal life. In the study of the local animals, the collections are sufficient not only to acquaint the student with the character of our western fauna, but also to enable him to make a special study of many of the orders. The number of peculiar animals in our mountain region makes this part of the study especially interesting and profitable. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. BOTANY. Good advantages for study and practical work are offered the student in the department of botany. Previous to the appearance of the early spring flowers, a course of lectures is given, designed to prepare for the systematic study of plants and the demonstration of the principles of vegetable physi­ology. As soon as the season permits, the student is required to analyze and study plants in the field, and to prepare a collec­tion of seventy-five native plants accurately labeled and mounted. The attention of the student is not wholly con­fined to the higher phases of plant life, but a reasonable por­tion of the time is given to the lower forms. By studying the flowerless plants, acquaintance is made with the nature of smut, rust, mould, and other vegetable growths which are so detrimental to the agriculturist. Besides keeping in mind the importance of botany as a trainer of the perceptive facul­ties, the economic value of plants receives considerable atten­tion. CHEMISTRY. T h e study of general chemistry, including inorganic and organic, extends through the first semester, and is taught by lectures and experiments. There are five of these lectures every week, occupying forty-five minutes each. While the instruction is well suited to the general student, who desires only an acquaintance with the principles of the science, it is specially adapted as a preparation to the course in analytical chemistry, which immediately follows. The experiments in illustration are so numerous and so full in detail as to leave no doubt that the principles set forth in the lectures are fully comprehended by the class. Qualitative and quantitative analysis and assaying occupy one year, with five recitations of from three to four hours, each per week. Almost the entire time is taken up in practi­cal work, and is sufficient to enable the student to acquire such a knowledge as will fully prepare him to carry on suc­cessfully ordinary chemical analysis, and to enter the business of assaying. The laboratory is well supplied with apparatus and re-agents for all the purposes above mentioned. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. PHYSICS. This subject is taught by experiments and lectures, and extends through the entire year. The first semester is devoted to the general principles of the subject, while the second semester is occupied in a detailed and thorough consideration of some of the most important parts of the science. As far as possible, appropriate experiments accompany each lecture to render the principles advanced clear and interesting. The student is required to perform experimental work in the physical laboratory; he is also encouraged to make orig­inal investigations and to invent and construct apparatus for illustrating the principles taught. ' MJXEPAL OG Y A XI) LITHOLOGY. I n mineralogy and lithology the greater portion of the time is spent in the determination of minerals and rocks, making it necessary for the student to supply himself with a few of the most common chemical re-agents and some inex­pensive apparatus. To make the student exact and methodi­cal in his observations, an element of so much importance in this study, full and systematic notes on every mineral and rock examined are required from each one. GEOLOGY. T he study of geology consists of a series of lectures, and of work in the laboratory and in the field. The lectures treat first of the changes the crust of the earth is undergoing at the present time through the active forces of the atmospheric, aqueous, and igneous agencies, then of the great continental and oceanic elevations and depressions, together with the for­mation of mountains and the different positions of the strata of the earth, and lastly, of the history of geology. In the laboratory and in the field, the student is required to study the character of rocks and fossils, and the struc­ture of the earth's crust. Some time is spent in classifying rocks on modes of classification devised by the student him­self, and in writing up reports on the general characteristics of the canons and gorges he may visit and examine. 84 UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. GEOGRAPHY. Modern geography forms a convenient introduction to many of the natural sciences, and is so closely related to the study of history that a more prominent place is given to it than to any of the other studies of the same grade. The course comprises a description of the surface features, scenery, productions, the people, their customs, society, and occupa­tions, and many natural wonders of climate, organic life, and geology, that claim our attention in the leading countries of the world. The instruction prepares the student to under­stand and appreciate many interesting features of the earth that may be brought to his notice by reading or by personal travel. A brief study of phenomena that are among the most familiar and universal features of the globe, forms the first part of the course, since a knowledge of physical geography is essential to a full understanding of the work that follows. FREE-HAND DR A WING. T h e institution, through an able instructor aud artist, offers superior facilities for acquiring the principles and prac­tice of this desirable art. The course, however, is necessarily an elementary one, given with the special object of its advantages in the indus­trial pursuits, and, at the same time, of cultivating the powers of observation, and giving proper conceptions of truth, h a r ­mony, taste, and beauty in the art, so that the student may acquire something more than the mere ability to copy a pretty picture. The student is taught the principles of the art and the philosophy of its laws, and is made to exemplify them and prove their correctness by continual practice in drawing from natural objects. Thus by sketching his own subjects and completing his pictures, he becomes familiar with the laws of perspective, of light and shade, etc., and with the reasons for them. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. MECHANICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL DR A WING. Besides the study of free-hand drawing, which extends through the entire year, there is also a course in mechanical and architectural drawing, which begins with the second semester. In this course the student is taught and drilled in the elements and practice that lead to engineering and archi­tecture, and for this purpose he is required to provide himself with drawing board and instruments. MUSIC. V o c a l music is taught with special reference to the Nor­mal Department. While the student receives instruction in the principles of the art, he is thoroughly drilled in their execution, so that with a moderate natural endowment, he may be able to read music readily at sight, as well as to write it from sound. A primary object in the course is to make him so pro­ficient in his knowledge of the subject as to be able to teach the elements himself. He is made familiar with both of the popular methods of expression, the old notation and the tonic sol-fa. Care has been taken to secure talent specially suited to giving instruction in this branch. GERMAN. T h e peculiar discipline to be acquired only by the study of a foreign language, is essential to every well balanced course of general instruction. For this reason, and that of its practical utility as a living tongue, the study of German has been incorporated in the Scientific Course. While a thorough mastery of the language is not to be expected, the instruction and exercises in its elementary features *are so practical that the student is made self-reliant as to his future progress and acquisition. From the first, the student is required to think, speak, and write in the new language, and the knowledge of its grammatical principles is inculcated as practice gives rise to its necessity. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. FRENCH. In teaching a modern language with the view of render­ing it practical in conversation, it is important that the student acquire a correct pronunciation of the new tongue. This'is especially true in the study of French, where precision in expression must be an essential feature in the instruction. In this respect the University has superior advantages to offer the student. Though French is not prescribed in any of the regular courses of study, yet classes in this branch are organized and conducted during each year as an extra study, when justified by adequate patronage. PENMANSHIP AND BOOK-KEEPING. In penmanship, no attempt is made to teach ornamental styles, nor the intricacies of the art, but the time is taken up by the student in acquiring an easy, fair, and legible hand. In book-keeping, the general principles of double entry are taught. Though all the different branches of the subject cannot be taken up, still enough is given to enable the student to keep, in a scientific manner, all private accounts and the books of most of our business houses. Commercial forms and correspondence are also included in this study. ARCHITECTURE. On this subject, a brief course of elementary instruction is all that is contemplated at present by the institution. At first, the history of architecture is reviewed and the characteristics of its different orders learned. Then, the gen­eral and most practical principles of construction are intro­duced and taught, and some knowledge given of the relative values of building materials, together with their economic uses in reference to strength, durability, lightness, and beauty of form. Proper consideration is also given to the subjects of ven­tilation, acoustics, sanitation, heating, and decoration, as im­portant features in the structure of all public buildings. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. 37 Building processes ai>d the elements of composition and •design also receive a share of attention. The object of the course, at present, is not to make archi­tects, but to awaken a spirit of investigation that shall tend to the improvement of taste, and lead to a higher apprecia­tion of the art as an economic study. DEPARTMENT FOR DEAF-MUTES. A t the session of the Utah Legislature in 1SS4, an appro­priation of two thousand dollars annually for two years was made to the University to assist in establishing in connection with the institution a department for the instruction of deaf-mutes. The officers of the University undertook this new labor with zeal, and have since been diligent in supplying every requisite possible for the accommodation of this class of stu­dents. They secured from the east and at home talent specially adapted for their instruction, so that the school has been for the past two years in successful operation and prepared to accommodate such deaf-mutes as needed instruction and were otherwise fitted to enter the school. The limited appropriation then made, however, has been exhausted in establishing and carrying on the school since that time; and the veto of the governor to an appropriation bill made by the Legislature at its last session, providing aid for the department, has left it without auy pecuniary support whatever for the future. This additional embarrassment in the conduct of the Universtiy, however, has not wholly discouraged the chancellor and board of regents in their efforts to meet practically the educational wants of the Territory. In view of so worthy an object as the education of this unfortunate class, they have resolved to maintain the department, if possible, and to look to the generous and sympathetic citizens of,the Territory for a material endorsement of their course. As usual, there­fore, the school will be open for the admission of deaf-mute pupils at the beginning of the academic year in September next. The department was first opened for the admission of students at the beginning of the academic year in 1884, and has so far met with encouraging patronage and success. The pupils in attendance have made most remarkable progress 38 UNIVERSITY OF DESERET,. in their studies. Most of them had no education whatever, and their only means of communication and learning was a few conventional signs peculiar to the household of their parents or guardians. These pupils have now learned to use readily the universal language of deaf-mutes, and to read and. write with considerable facility, so that already a new world of knowledge and beauty has begun to open before them. The United States census of 1880 reports 118 deaf-mutes in our Territory. I t is quite certain that but few of the parents or guardians of these deaf and dumb persons are able to send them out of the Territory to be educated. That they should be educated, for reasons beyond any that apply in sup­port of the education of those who are in full possession of all their senses, few will deny; yet, until the present time no provision has been made in this Territory for their instruc­tion, while thousands of dollars have been expended annually for the education of those who, having all their senses, are better able to battle successfully w'ith life without it than they. As education abroad is not accessible to the many, it should be generally known throughout the Territory that a school for the deaf and dumb has been established at home, in which they may receive instruction at the lowest possib'e cost. I t is also hoped that the efforts of the Legislature and of the officers of the University to educate and thus make self-supporting and useful citizens of this unfortunate class of persons, who must otherwise be a care if not a burden to the community or to their friends, will be appreciated by those most interested by giving support and encouraging patron­age to the school. In this department of the University is taught the best accessible method of ready communication, together with reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, grammar, geography, history, and also higher branches of study as they may be required. The rate of tuition is ten dollars per quarter. In cases, however, in which parents or guardians are not able to pay even this amount of tuition, their children or wards will be admitted to the school free of charge for tuition, under the beneficiary arrangement of the University, provided evidence be given that the applicants are poor and truly worthy. Pupils who contemplate joining this class should make preparations to do so at the beginning of the academic year, that they may have the benefit of the early lessons in the course of instruction. UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. 39 Parents or guardians of deaf-mutes and other? interested in behalf of any of this class of persons, who wish to avail themselves of this provision in the University in behalf of thei r wards or friends, should communicate with the presi­dent of the institution at once, giving the name, age, and sex of the deaf-mute, and stating whether or not he or she has received any education, and if so, to what extent, and such •other information as may seem important. The institution provides only instruction for the pupils, so that the parent or guardian must see that they have suitable boarding places and other necessary facilities while attending the school. I t is proposed, however, to establish a boarding place or homo for the pupils of this department to be under the strict surveil­lance if not control of the officers of the University, and to have the teachers of the deaf-mute classes also live there with their pupils. This arrangement, if effected, will be of great advantage to the pupils, since they will be under the constant care and tuition of their teachers, and be trained to proper ■demeanor and social politeness as well as in scholastic studies, and so also be secure, in a great measure, from any evil influ­ence that might not be in the power of the University other­wise to prevent. This plan carried out will also avoid the inconveniences that must be incident to a mute associated ■with those with whom he can have little or no communication; and, at the same time, it will no doubt considerably reduce •the ordinary cost of board. However, before any definite steps can be taken in this direction by the officers of the University, they must know how many will probably avail themselves of the arrangement if made. The president of the institution, therefore, should be advised at once on this point. I t will be understood now, from what has been said, that this department in the University for deaf-mutes is not an asylum to support the unfortunates nor to furnish them medical treatment, but is a school for their instruction only. Candidates for admission into the department should be of ordinary intelligence and constitutional vigor, as no one will be received who is imbecile or idiotic or affected with any offensive or contagious disease. 40 UNIVERSITY OF DESERET. CONCLUSION. As the University now possesses facilities for advanced instruction exceeding any it has heretofore offered, and which are fully equal, it is believed, to the present requirements of the Territory, its officers feel justified in recommending it to the patronage of the friends of education. They are earnest to build up the cause of education in our midst and to fortify our home institutions by making them worthy of a liberal patronage. They have provided the institution with a competent faculty, and have recently furnished it with additional appa­ratus and other needed facilities. They are, therefore, prepared to challenge a just compari­son of the instruction and facilities given in the University with those of institutions of equal pretensions elsewhere, fully confident they will merit a favorable and approving judg­ment. In preparing the courses of instruction for students of the University, great care has been taken to select only such studies as are in some degree essential to an acquaintance with the principles and knowledge of practical life. Thus pruned of what is purely theoretical or disciplinary, the courses are practical in the sense which means that the stu­dent shall acquire such information and attain to such disci­pline that he may be comprehensive,, and able to view subjects in their true light and to plan and execute without blunders. Moreover, the course of study, as thus planned, is within the reach of every youth truly desirous of au education. If the object is to prepare for a higher course of study elsewhere, no better preliminary training can be found than that given in the University. Enough time and effort, it is believed, are often spent by those attending our schools, in desultory and consequently almost profitless study, that if wisely directed, would enable them to reach a respectable degree of attainment in education. It is urged, therefore, that all who enter this school pur ­sue regularly and fully the course they may select. No students will be admitted into the institution who are noted as refractory, or who are not thought to be earnest for an education, or who have not the necessary acquaintance with the common branches to enter its preliminary course.
