| this department will be materially improved
| In word il is intended by the corpora.
ton TO render the course as valuable as the
present state Of collegiate education will
allow and so far as their means will ad-
init, second TO that Of no institution in this
country. Three recitations a day will be
attended by every Class throughout the
! year.
As to the manner Of studying, it may be
! remarked that the lessons will be shorter
/ but the rocltatlons entirely without book,
! exccp; in languages, at the close of each
! term every student will pass a thorough ex-
animation upon the studies which he shall
/ have pursued. To these examinations the
corporation and scientific gentlemen will
/ be invited.
| The officers arc required to devote them
selves exclusively to the government and
! instruction ofthe university and TO occupy
rooms N college during hours appropriated
| TO study, 10 visit the rooms Of the students
| at least twice in each day for the purpose
Of cXclting them 10 diligence and assisting
4 them in their studies, and to keep a regu-
/ lar and daily account Of all absences and
! DEFICIENCIES.
! Every officer Of the institution is also re-
! quircd 20 furnish the President with aweek-
! ly statement ofthe proficiency Of every stu
. dent under his tuition. From these reports,
and from the daily record of absences and
/ general conduct merit roll will be made
out at the close Of every term. This roll
will be so arranged that every student will
take rank according to moral character,
attendance and literary proficiency.
The College bills Of every student will
in future be sent to his parent or guardian
by mail at the close Of every term. In con-
ucNion with the bill, full account OF his
absences, general conduct and relative
standing, viii be also transmitted. Il
! IS intended that the communication be-
/ tween the Government OF the College and
! the parents or guardians Of the Students,
shall be regular, particular and unrcservcd.
The arrangements which have been
made for additional instructions have rem
! dCrGd 1t necessary 10 raise the price oi tn
! itIOn TO SD per term, or S3U per year.
} This has been done with reluctance, be-
, cause the corporation feared lest an m.
crease of the expense Of education might
/ dcpr..c some valuable young mon OF IT'S
advantages, and they considered 1t too I'M
portant blessing to be conferred solely
On the wealthy. But they had no alterna-
tive. The institution could not he sustain
ed with It's former income. They conf
IDENTITY hope that this difficulty, will be
promply obviatcd by public and private lIb-
crafty, and that funds will shortly be raised
for the support of INDECENT students in this
! University.
