William and Mary College.

ITENIIE Governors and Visitors of William and Mar
n College, their last meeting, established Professo;
ship of Humanity, and authorized the Faculty appoiu
the Professor, subject to the approval rejection IN
Visitors at their next meeting. THe Faculty have accord
ngly discharged that duty by appointing Dabney Browne
Esq. graduate of William aud Mary in 1911, and WHIT
has been for several years engaged successfully teachn
the Languages. The GrammarSchool will open in Col
iege the list day of October next, and will close OF
the 1s day of August thereafter The Professor will
prepared according to the acquisitions of the statute l.

pense VIII be under tue controu Of his parent guardian;
and is strongly recommended that the voluntary expedi-
ufe should be very moderate As the expenses of attend
ing this School SMALL, and many advantages will he
enjoyed which be mad other Schools, it is
hoped that will be fail to overlooking during the ensuing
course.
| y Table also directed be established in College
for the accommodation of the Students higher Schools.
The Board, &c. was limited 500 for the fUl
the student to be supplied with candles and washing for
$50; and the Faculty directed appoint Steward,
who Is required TO furnish the Students accordingly. The
Steward Is subject TO the comtroul of the Faculty.
tney Doun! TO l1t ne discharges duties with
hdey, whilst he has right expect their assistance in
preserving due decoum among his BoueIs. The Faculty
have appointed to the Office OF Steward M Edward Wal
kcr, of Williamsburg, person well qualified Tor the Office,
and who is believed will give entire satisfaction. The
statute requires that all Students shall boa rd with
Steward except those who live with their parents guar
dams, or such may be allowed by the Faculty, in the
exercise OF Sound discTcuo, to board elsewhere, and
then they not Ia pay for board than is paid by
Others to the Steward. The Faculty wish it Ia be under
stood that they viii exercise this discretion with great
serve; and earnestly recommend it parents ask
that their sons be allowed live of College When
the situation of the Student requires that he should
reside elsewhere the Faculty will voluntarily allow aud
advise III but they cannot il a matter Of
grGfacafI0n, 10 the wishes of either the parent
son.
Board and Tuition are now so cheap at William and
Mary that parents of very moderate fortunes may
send their sous to College: all the statutes which
planned of harsh towards Students have repealed
the Visitors have shewu their confidence i'll the
efforts of the Facuythe Grammar-School has been re-
storeda Pofsorship of Chemistry has been established
since the time Bishop Madison, and the
ton in all the other Schools have been exteudeda the
Professors have additional expecnceand in Seminary
OF Learning have Lectures been delivered with
lary and punctuality.
The FacIy of William and Mary deem the preservation
of order and dccorum in the highest degree essentials they
satisfied that the College flourish unless the
morals of tine young gentlemen preserved and they shall
distinguish themselves by their attachments in science.
Whilst nothing the part of the Professors will be omit
ted To insure these great Objects thing will be
unpleasant. Those who visit the Halls of William
and Mary should make up their minis devote themselves
to their studcs the Students regsarly examined
every meeting oithe classthe preceding Lecture infinitely
recIiedand every is expected 10 be prepared the
Lecture Let them fulfil this duty let them be temperate,
orderly and moral, and they viii! have the appreciation
all the Faculty; return home satisfied parents be them
selves ornaments the College; useful and happy as
individuals, and valuable members of sociriy Under
these circumstances may not be reasonably expected that
this ancient Institution will receive much of the public
patronage: The Lectures will commence, heretofore
the last Monday in OCTOBER and, the Professors will
proceed in the discharge OF their duties sstrong
recommended those who wish avail themselves of the
full benefit Of the course attend opening the
College.
