required to conform to the prescribed course
of studies, but students who are properly pre-
pared, may enter at any time and pursue such
studies and attend such lectures as they de
sire, under the direction of the President and I
and the Faculty, but no new casses will be
formed for their accommodation. They will be |
entered as UNIVERSITY STUDENTS and will be

It is required by law that instruction shall |
be given in Military Tactics. 1t is confidently
expected that ample provision for this depart
ment of instruction will be made by the Gen.
e~al Government. The Regents have not
deemed it advisable to make any special pro-
vision in this department until it is known
what the action Of Congress will be.
All necessary provision will be made for
furnishing board at low rates, and for furnish
ing other expenses of the students.
The Catalogue for 1861 giving the course of
instruction and other necessary information
will be published in August, and may be had
on application TO the President.

August 28th, and continue thirteen weeks. 1t |
is especially desirable this year, that all stu
