Excerpt from Letter to the Honorable the Board of Trustees of the University of Mississippi The expediency of adopting a similar system here, cannot, therefore, be justly regarded as problematical. The system has, in effect, been already tried; and its adoption by the enlightened Board of Trustees of Columbia College, during the past year, with the results of experiment, and the approving opinions of the most competent authorities in the country before them, is evi dence that it IS In accordance with the exigencies of the case, and with the spirit of progress which characterizes the age. It will probably be expected of the undersigned, not merely in general terms to suggest a division of the studies now pursued in college into two distinct and separate courses; but to specify particularly the subjects to be embraced by each,7 - or, where subjects are identical, the comparative extent which it is pro posed to give to the corresponding studies in the two successive courses. The sub-graduate course may be defined by the very simple process of excluding from the curriculum of 'study as it stands at present, all those branches of science which are confessedly modern addi. Tions, and along with these, the modern languages. This course will, therefore, as reconstructed, embrace the English, Latin, and Greek languages, all the elementary branches of the pure Mathematics, the mechanical branches of Natural Philosophy, Logic, Rhetoric, the principles of Criticism, Moral and Mental Philosophy.
