Elective System at Yale.

An important change has been made in the Yale curriculum by the corporation, in limiting prescribed courses to the freshman year. In the other three years, the student will be allowed to choose from a wide range of subjects, grouped under three heads:--1, language and literature; 2, mathematics and natural science; 3, mental, historical and political sciences. Each student will be required to take connected courses during three years in one of these departments, and connected courses during two years in each of the other two.
