Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Requirements for Admission to the Colleges of the United States Several motives suggested the compilation of this little book. When students wisely conclude to make a college education their ambition and aim, they very natu rally send for one or a dozen college catalogues, to ascertain their requirements and other information which will enable them to decide what college to enter; but the great mass of facts which these catalogues contain often tends to confuse the mind, and to render of little avail the trouble occasioned and expense incurred.
