Subject matter Latin Grammar & Reader. Ceasar's Gallic War Instruction in Latin was given to this class by Miss Allen. The amount of Greek & Latin read by the several classes has conformed generally to the requirements of the printed curriculum falling below this amount in a few instances and exceeding it in others. Instruction in the department has been given almost wholly by recitation, varied by occasional informal lectures on subjects suggested by the portions of the text read in daily recitation. The lower classes have been subjected to a rigid drill each day on forms and syntax, and has had one or more exercises each, per week in turning English sentences into idiomatic Greek and Latin; while the more advanced classes have had their attention directed less to forms and syntax and more to the characteristics of the literature of the Languages, to the more important facts in the History of the times, and particularly to the public & private life of the Greek & Roman peoples.
With a view of making the work of the department as practical as possible a great deal of attention has been given with all classes to tracing the derivation of familiar English words from the parent Greek or Latin word and nothing the changes of meaning in the course of their descent. Some attention, likewise, has been devoted to the reading of Greek & Latin at sight, an exercise which it is proposed to make a special feature of the work in this department hereafter.
As the Regents will have observed from the revised
curriculum submitted by the Faculty for their approval, it is proposed to make
the study of Greek optional and to relegate it to the two last years of the
University Course. We have a precedent for the proposed change in the
curriculum now in force at Harvard and John Hopkins Universityies, two
institutions of the very highest class. In view of the reluctance of students
in this new country to enter upon a course of study involving the pursuit of
two such laborious languages as the Greek and Latin, it is believed, that, so
far from impairing the value of the Arts Course, the revival of Greek as a
required study will add decidedly to the usefulness of that course by making it
available for a much larger class of students, which by delaying for two years
the period of divergence for the Arts and Science courses, it will result in a
great economy of the teaching force of our Faculty. Inasmuch, however, as the
Greek
252 [printed]
Literature still remains, next to English, the most splendid literature in the possession of the race, and as an acquaintance with that literature is an indispensable requisite to anything like a liberal education, it is proposed to give more, rather than less, attention than heretofore to the Greek Literature and philosophy, but to employ the English, instead of the Greek languages as the medium of instruction. By retaining the Greek as an optional study in the Junior and Senior years, it will still be available for those students who may need to employ that language in subsequent professional work. The proposed change is earnestly recommended by the Professor in charge of this department.
Respectfully submitted.

I here present my second annual report in regard to the numbers, studies and progress of the classes under my charge. English Languages & Literature Sophomore Class. The Sophomore class of six members had two hours a week of instruction in English. This comprised the critical study of one book of Spencer's Faerie Queen and the study of Arnold's outlines of English Literature.
Freshman Class. The Freshman class, numbering, along with the Normal Students of like grade, twenty two members, after a review of certain parts of English Grammar, had two hours a week of class work in Rhetoric during more than half the University year. In the better part of the year they read about 500 verses of Chaucer's Prologue to the Canterbury Tales.
Senior Prep' Class. The Senior Preparatory class, numbering with the Normal Students of like grades, twenty six members, spent two hours a week in the critical study of Goldsmith's Deserted Village, with passing, analysis and prosody. In this, as in the other classes, as many exercises in English Composition were prescribed as could be reasonably demanded, considering the other demands upon the time and energies of the students.
French-The Sophomore Class, with an average of about one hour and a half of class work each week, made
253 [printed]
some advance in the advanced part of Otto's French Grammar, read eight chapters of Madame De Staels L. Allemagne and began Molien's Les Femmes Sarantes, besides reading weekly exercises in French Composition.
The Freshman Class; had but one hour a week in French during most of the year, During this time the class reviewed the Grammar previously studied, completed DeFira's French Reader and read two books of L. Histoire de Charles XII
The Senior Preparatory Class, with three hours a week of class work, began, finished and reviewed Part I of Otto's French Grammar and read through two-thirds of DeFira's Reader. German.
The Sophomore class. with an average of one hour and a half of class work each week, completed the preliminary course and made some progress in the advanced course in German, besides reading about four Acts of Schiller's Wilhelm Tell. The Freshman Class with an average of somewhat less than two hours of class work each week, has completed the preliminary course in German and has read a book of selections from Grimm's Hans Marschen.
History. Mental Science
The Sophomore Class has had one hour each week in History, the first half of the year being devoted to Roman, the latter half to English History. This class also devoted an hour each week to class room work on Hopkin's Outline Study of [illegible word].
The Freshman Class devoted one hour a week to classroom work in the outlines of Greek History.

I herewith submit the Annual Report of work done in the Department of Mathematics and Physics, for the year 1886-7. Senior Preparatory class including several in the Normal Department & some special students, twenty one, have been connected with this class. The work has been three hours a week in Algebra, in review, from the beginning to Involution and Evolution. The class has received instruction in Geometry two hours a week, completing the first three Books of Wentworth. Eight of this class has taken
254 [printed]
one hour a week through the year, going over the subjects of motion and force, attraction, Elements of Mechanics and Liquids and Gases.
Freshman Class.
Whole number enrolled in this class thirteen
Four hours a week for about four months, have been given to Algebra, taking up the subjects of quadratics, Indeterminate Equations, Theory of Exponents, Radical Expressions and Equations. During the rest of the year four hours a week were given to Geometry, taking the fourth-fifth & sixth books of Wentworth.
All but two of this class comprising those in the Science Course, have taken one hour a week in Advanced Algebra and in Geometrical Problems.
Sophomore Class.
Whole number enrolled six, of these, four, two in the Science Course and two in the Arts Course have taken Plane and Spherical Trigonometry. Surveying and Plane Sailing, four hours a week, Five, two in the Science Course, two special students and one in the Arts Course have received instruction in Physics two hours a week. The subjects taken were General Properties of Matter, Dynamics, Heat and Electricity.
Normal Students.
Fourteen Normal Students have received instruction three hours a week in Arithmetic since Jany 1st. In all subjects taught the aim has been not simply to do the work given in the Text Book, but to study and master the principles with a view of applying them in original work.
I have not been able to complete the work prescribed in the catalogue owing partly to the amount required in all the departments and partly it may be to lack of better preparation before entering upon the University Course. Better results, will be secured, when students do not shorten the year by coming late & learning early
In view of all the circumstances good work has been done and fair progress made. Respectfully Submitted.

I herewith respectfully present the report of the Department of Natural Science in the University of North Dakota for the year 1886 & 7 being my third annual report of this Department. Since September 1886 there have been nine classes under my charge in this Department as follows. One in Mineralogy, two in Botany, four in Physiology, one in Chemistry and one in Zoology. Of these the classes in Mineralogy, Botany, Chemistry and Zoology and two classes in Physiology were continued throughout the whole year, while two of the classes in Physiology were conducted for only about five months. Extra classes in Physiology & Hygiene for the Normal Students were rendered necessary because of the time of the year at which these students entered. The classes, number of students in each class and number of hours' recitations or lectures each week are here given.
Sophomore Class. Botany. 7 students. 5 regular, 1 Medical and I Special. 2 Hours. Physiology & Hygiene. 11 Students. 5 Regular. 2 Medical & 4 Special. 2 Hours. Mineralogy. 2 Students. 1 Hour. Total 5 Hours a week.
Freshman Class. Chemistry 26 Studetns. 14 Reg' 5 Normal 2 Medical & 5 Special-2 Hours. Zoology. 14 Students. 11 Regular, 1 Medical & 2 Special. 2 Hours. Total 4 Hours a week.
Senior Preparatory Class. Physiology & Hygiene. 21 Students 8 Regular. 5 Normal of 2nd year. 2 Medical & 6 Special. 2 Hours. Botany, 13 Students, 8 Regular. 1 Medical & 4 special. Total 4 Hours a week. First year of Normal Course. Physiology & Hygiene, 16 Students, 10 Normal & 6 Special. 2 Hours. Total 2 Hours a week. A class of six regular Junior
256 [printed]
Preparatory Students in Physiology and Hygiene was under my charge one hour a week for three months and a special class of Normal Students in Chemistry for three months, besides special students who entered late in the year and needed extra assistance in certain studies in order to be brought into line with their respective classes. Thus for a portion of the year my hours of teaching per week, not including laboratory work, were twenty, and for most of the year they were sixteen. This makes some six or seven hours a week more teaching than the President of the average University is called upon to do; and counting the hours that must be devoted to laboratory preparation and other practical work, is considerably more than the Professor of Natural Sciences is required to do in any of the Universities.
With increased teaching force and laboratory & Museum assistance next year there will not be so many hours of class-room instruction required of me.
Much practical study has been done by the students, especially those of the Sophomore and Freshman classes, by means of experiments, charts and specimens. But much more ought to have been done, and would have been done had there been full and proper means with which to do practical work.
However, it is expected that this will be largely remedied the next session of the University, when appliances and other needed material will doubtless be provided.
Very Respectfully Yours.
Henry Montgomery.
Prof. of Natural Science.
