professor and student into such frequent con-
; tact, as must often produce a very unpropi-
'ious RESISTANCE OF int latter. On ihis account
" s'"oen's quit William and Mary college,
heafuIy pleased with The institution. Worse
r'ms, s."i, result from the holding OF pubic ex-
a,n'nat'op before the faculty, for the purpose
oi recording The comparative merit and prof
e'e"cy of ga" students in the several classes
ana these al. aggravated by the transmission
OF circulars 10 parents and guardians, declsr-
,ns 'heir several standings In their classes.
Ioe good VIII oi three fuurths of the students,
""o .he good opinion of their friends, are an
nuaiiy f'rf.ited by this System. A parent
may think you very honest, when you tell
MN " the weakness or the faults of his adult
son. oi nis dizziness or his idleness but he i'll
rareiy jeet obliged 10 you for the information {;
.pucn less will he Maak you for placing ali

The reader may have remarked the omis-
sion oil a school of ancient languages, IN the
ABOVE scheme for an University establishment.
AZ Us believed that the classics, aud the eemen
tary branches of Mathematics, should be as
sisued To more private semiDaries where
competent teachers should conduct the exer-
cises Ut youths, between ten and sixteen wears
OF age, IN the usual methods of elementary
schools maintaining of course the usual dis
c'pine. These elementary schools shoud.re-
main open during the greater pant of the year,
allowing few holidays perhaps al the end vi
every quarter.
To the foregoing hints may add, that
whatever change may be effected with res
pect 10 William and Mary College, the in
come OF tins Institution should by no means be
utvereo from It's present uses. New prufrs
sossn'ps should he created only when new
enoowments are made, or in schOols which
are usually without endowment, as IS the case
IN the medical establishments of this cynntry.
The society of William s. Mary. consisting Of
pres'deat and professors, compose a BODY
corporate. This society have certain rlgl.is
confirmed to them by the existing charter, and
are the immediate trustees of the College pro-
perry. 1t Is presumed that neither thes..
