Lowell Institute Collegiate Courses

The Lowell Institute, in co-operation with Harvard University, again offers free courses of lectures corresponding closely in subject matter, methods of instruction, examinations and scale of marking, with those given at Harvard College. The lectures will be given in the buildings of the Harvard Medical School, at 8 P.M. There will be a half-course in English Literature and Composition, by Mr. Charles T. Copeland, on Tuesdays; a half-course in the History of Ancient Philosophy, by Professor George H. Palmer, on Wednesdays and Fridays during the first half-year; a half-course in General Problems of Philosophy, by Professor Josiah Royce, on Wednesdays and Fridays during the second half-year; and a full course in Modern Constitutional Government, by Professor A. Lawrence Lowell, on Mondays and Thursdays.

The courses will begin in October and continue until June, with vacations at Christmas and in the spring, the courses changing every year.

The courses will be open to men and women, and a student may take one or more. But no person will be allowed to attend a course unless qualified to profit by it; and for that purpose, if under twenty years of age, they must have graduated from a high school or an institution of equal grade; and if over twenty, must have so graduated, or show in some way a sufficient degree of education. For this purpose applicants who have not already taken a collegiate course at the Lowell Institute will be required to fill out blanks stating their name, age, schooling, the kind and extent of reading they have done, and other facts that will make it possible to determine their qualifications to proceed. If the Institute is satisfied of the applicant's proficiency, a ticket of admission to the course will be sent.

If a student fails to show sufficient aptitude or diligence, or to attend both lectures and sections with substantial regularity, he or she may be excluded from the course. Anyone who completes the course and passes the examination satisfactorily will be given a certificate thereof.

In making arrangements for the coming year it is important to know as early as possible how many applicants there are likely to be; and if there is not room for all, preference among persons equally qualified will be given to those applying first. Anyone desiring to join the course can obtain an application blank by writing to the Lowell Institute Collegiate Courses, care of the Harvard Medical School, Longwood Avenue, Boston, enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Further information may be obtained by writing to the same address.
