_Each year’s Course of Study will be considered the “First Year” for new
pupils_ whether it be the first, second, third, or fourth of the four
years’ course. For example, “the class of 1887,” instead of beginning
October, 1883, with the same studies which were pursued in 1882-83 by
“the class of 1886,” will fall in with “the class of ’86,” and take for
their first year the second year’s course of the ’86 class. The first
year for “the class of 1886” will thus in due time become the fourth year
for “the class of 1887.”
