St. Ignatius College Course Catalog 1883-1884, Excerpt of Prospectus
Description
A selected portion of the Prospectus on page 7 of the St. Ignatius Course Catalog of 1883-1884. The paragraphs here describe course offerings, school terms, the annual commencement, and the degrees available.:
"The studies pursued in the College comprise the Doctrines and Evidences of the Catholic Religion, Logic, Metaphysics, Ethics, Astronomy, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Mathematics, Rhetoric, Composition, Elocution, History, Geography, Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, the Latin, Greek, English, German, and French Languages and Literature.
The College is intended for day scholars only.
The Collegiate year is divided into two terms, the first beginning on the first Monday of September, the second on the first Monday of February; but students are received at any time during the year. At the close of each term the several classes are subjected to a thorough examination in the branches studied during the previous half year.
The Annual Commencement is held on the last Wednesday in June, when degrees are conferred and premiums awarded.
On completing the studies of the Collegiate Department, those who prove deserving of the distinction receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Subsequently, by devoting one year more to the study of Philosophy, or two years to any of the learned professions, they may obtain the degree of Master of Arts, if the Board of Managers be satisfied with their proficiency and moral conduct."
