WAKE FOREST COLLEGE, located at Wake Forest, N. C., 16 miles northeast of Raleigh. It was chartered in 1833, as the Wake Forest Institute, under the auspices and control of the Baptists of the State; it was first opened to students in 1834, and in 1f338 the charter was amended, its privileges enlarged and the name changed to Wake Forest College. The greater part of the endowment was lost during the Civil War, but the college con tinued its work and regained its financial pros perity. The system of independent e(schools2 is now an established feature of the college organization; these schools are 15 in number, as follows: Latin, Greek, English, modern languages, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, physics, moral philosophy, history and political science, the Bible, pedagogy, law and medicine. There are preparatory courses offered in Latin, Greek, mathematics and Eng lish. The college confers the degrees of A.B:, B.S., LL.B. and A.M. (for graduate .work). In the A.B., and B.S., courses a part of the work is elective, the electives being some what limited, however, in accordance with the degree to be obtained.

admitted to the School of Medicine, either as medical students or as undergraduates, if taking the B.S., course.
