Nassau-Hall, Princeton, N. ferfey, Aug. 21, 1778.
THE Students of New-Jersey College, and all o
thers concerned, are desired to take notice of
the following particulars :
I. The members of the senior class of the year 1776,
who were examined and approved in August that year,
and performed their public exercises at Commence
ment in September following but did not receive their
degrees, a quorum of the Trustees not being present,
are hereby informed, That at a meeting of the Board
at Cooper's Ferry, in June 1777, they were formally
admitted to their Batchelors degree of the standing of
September 1776, and may have their diplomas when
they please to call for them.
2. The senior scholars of the year 1777, who were
examined and approved in August that year, were
also admitted at the next meeting of the Trustees,
(though there was no public Commencement) to
their Bachelors degree, and may have their diplomas
bearing the proper date, when they apply for them.
3. Though the building has been occupied by the
public, firft as a barrack and afterwards as an hospi
tal for licit and wounded soldiers, the teaching has
been kept up ever since July last year agreeably to
the advertisement then published, the President and
Profeffor of Mathematics by turns, with the assistance
of one tutor, taking charge of the few that attended,
who were boarded in the town and recited in the Pre
sident's house ; and it is hereby notified that there
will be a public Commencement on the last Wednes
day of Sptember, when not only those who have at
tended constantly or occasionally, but those who have
studied at home, provided they will submit to exa
mination, shall be admitted, if qualified, to degrees
according to their ftanding.*
4. Assurances have been given by the Director-Ge
neral of the hospital and other principal officers, that
the sick are to be wholly removed in a few weeks:
The College, therefore, will be repaired as speedily
as pofiible, and the whole students may collect fafely,
and it is hoped be conveniently accommodated, at
the usual time of beginning the winter session, viz.
the 10th of November.
5. The Grammar school was begun agreeably to
public notice last April, and continues to be taught
with care. Parents therefore may fend their children
without delay, as there will be no vacation of the
school in the fall this season. The public may be ai
fured that the utmost care has been and will be taken
in this school to lay the foundation well in a thorough
knowledge of grammar and syntax; and it is earnest
ly recommended to other teachers, whose scholars
are intended for Princeton College, to attend to this
circumstance, and not hasten them on to the reading
of difficult Greek and Latin authors, while they have
a very raw, imperfect knowledge of the principles
and ftrudure of these languages. For several years
past great pains have been taken at Princeton to re
commend and introduce an accurate knowledge of the
English language. An attention to this also is re
queued of the teachers of Grammar schools, who, if
they possess such knowledge themselves, may easily
communicate it by occasional extemporary remarks
on the idiom ofthe language in translating from Greek
and Latin, and by periodical exercises in reading,
spelling, writing and pronouncing orations, but above
all by competitions in such exerciies on public days,

N. B. Board may be had at Princeton, and in the
neighbourhood, on as easy terms as the present prices
of provisions will admit.
* Those coho are entitled t@ take the Maflers degree
at this Commencement may, if they please, come pre
pared to perform a public exercise, either in Latin or
Englifb, as no orators have been chosen this year for
that purpose from the uncertainty of their places of re
sidence, and the difficulty of fending intelligence to, .them
in the present fate of the country.
