Unlverstty Of Vermont and State
AgrAcu CULTURAL College.

The commencement of the University of
Vermont and State Agricultural College will
take place this year on the 1st of August.
Candidates for admission will be examined on
Tuesday the day before Commencement, the
examination to begin at O'Clock, A. n.
No essential change il contemplated in the
studies of the ordinary College course, IS here
tofore pursued. But II is hoped that the means
which have been long desired, will now DO az
forded for raising the standard OF scholarship
in this department. of the Institution, the quail
i6cations for admission to which will remain
unchanged.
The State Agricultural College being now unit
cd with the University, provision will be made
for receiving young men who are deslrous OF
pursuing the course OF studies contemplated BY
the late act OF Congress .appropriasing to every
State portion OF the public lands for the en-
enlargement of instruction in theoretical and
applied science. Ii is impossible thus early to
set forth in detail the whole course Of scientific
studies which will eventually be taught and
pursued in the institution. Suffice it, for the
present, to say, that the Corporation are deter
mined to make it as complete and thorough as
that of any other snilar institution in the
land.
In the meantime, arrangements 10 pro-
grsss, and will soon be completed, for giving
instruction in the several studies usually pur-
sued by pupils during the first year of scientific
schools connected with Colleges. Three new
professorships have been established BY the
Corporation : one profsssorship of Modern
Languages, another of Analytical and Agricul-
tural Chemistry. q third of Ainsraogy, &C.
ology and Mining. Provision will also be made
for an extended course Of instruction in the
several kinds of Drawing.
In addition to the philosophical apparatus,
he roliaCtion If ohia0fa and oshsy
means OF illustration now belonging to the
University, others will DO promptly furnished
by the Corporation as they are needed. Ar
rangements will DO made, also, 10 due time. for
a select course of recitationss aud lectures, ex-
pressly designed for the benefit of those who
are qualified to attend them, but who cannot
afford the time required for q course in tho Sol
enti6c School.
1t may be proper here to give notice, also,
that in this az in other institutions of q similar
character, there will probably be several sec
eral aims of those who attend it and on such
as have completed the course in any one Of
those sections will be conferred the degree OF
Bachelor OF Science.
