ILLUSTRATED BY AMERICAN HISTORY SECOND EDITION Revised and Continued to the year 1902. By HORACE WHITE 12mo. THE first edition of this work was prepared to meet a popular demand for information on the Money Question in the presidential campaign of 1896. It was received with favor by economists and teachers, as well as by the supporters of sound money in the political field. The demand for it has been continuous since that time, but the progress of events, of legislation, and of public opinion, during the past seven years, suggested revision and addition. While following the general historical plan of the first edition, and adopting its text in part, the author has practically rewritten the book, adding several new chapters, expunging controversial and other matter that has become obsolete, and bringing the whole down to date. It has been his aim to adapt it more particularly to the use of the class room. To this end he has added a brief recapitulation, and a list of authorities, to each chapter. The enlarged output of gold in recent years, and the consequences thereof, have been examined. The legislation of Congress on the money question since 1895 has been followed and explained, and the still unsolved problems of government paper money and bank-note currency are presented in a way to stimulate students to debate the same among themselves. in the City of New York Columbia University includes both a college and a university in the strict sense of the words. The college is Columbia College, founded in 1754 as King's College. The university consists of the Faculties of Law, Medicine, Philosophy, Political Science, Pure Science, and Applied Science. The point of contact between the college and the university is the senior year of the college, during which year students in the college pursue their studies, with the consent of the college faculty, under one or more of the faculties of the university. Barnard College, a college for women, is financially a separate corporation; but, educationally, is a part of the system of Columbia University. Teachers College, a professional school for teachers, is also, financially, a separate corporation; and also, educationally, a part of the system of Columbia University. Each college and school is under the charge of its own faculty, except that the Schools of Mines, Chemistry, Engineering, and Architecture are all under the charge of the Faculty of Applied Science. For the care and advancement of the general interests of the university educational system, as a whole, a Council has been established, which is representative of all the corporations concerned. I. The Colleges Columbia College offers for men a course of four years, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Candidates for admission to the college must be at least fifteen years of age, and pass an examination on prescribed subjects, the particulars concerning which may be found in the annual Circular of Information.
