LAW CLASSES.

In connection with the Lectures, Classes, upon a now
system, will be conducted under the guidance and superino
tendence of the Lecturers, and will proceed concurrent
with the Lectures. The number of Subscribers to ea 10
Class will be limited, and the instruction given will b
confined to an examination of the Students upon the sub-
ject of a preceding Lecture, or on portions of a given book
bearing on the same subject. A sufficient number of
Classes will follow each Lecture, and be of such duration
as shall provide for the efficient instruction and examina-
tion of the Students. The teaching of the Lecturers will
thus be amplified, and impressed on the memory by the
Classes ; and the system of constant examination will test,
from time to time, the progress made by the Students.
