Excerpt from College of the Immaculate Conception: Corner of Common and Baronne Streets, New Orleans, 1888-89 Sociology, Natural and International Law, Political Economy and General Physics are the subject-matter of the Lectures. The Annual Course opens on the first Monday of October and closes at the end of April. The general subject-matter will be distributed over several years, so as to vary the treatises of those who may desire to attend for more than one term. At the termination of the complete Course, such members of the class as have given satisfaction by regular attendance may apply for the Degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, which will be granted on condition that they pass an examination on theses, to be selected from the matter developed during the Course, and present an original and creditable paper on a given subject. The Degree of A. M. will be bestowed after one term of Post-Graduate Lectures, faithfully and studiously attended, on those who have previously received the Degree of A. B. Graduates of the College, or of any College of the same grade, students of Law or Medicine, and gentlemen of literary or scientific culture, will be admitted to the above Course. II. Classical Course. The Classical Course, which leads to the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, is designed to impart a thorough, liberal education. In the accomplishment of this purpose, the Ancient Classics hold the first place, because some acquaintance with them is essential to the study of modern literature and to sound scholarship. Besides Latin, Greek and English, it embraces Religious Instruction, Mental and Moral Philosophy, Astronomy and Mathematics, History, Literature, and the Natural Sciences. It has been found by long experience that this is the only Course that affords unsurpassed mental discipline, forms a correct taste, and prepares the student to excel in any pursuit, whether professional or commercial.
