learn, being impressed with the conviction
that it is the duty of collectors to make

been since the construction of those two

velous strength to the nerve OF man. By
the might which this knowledge and this
power have given, multitudes of new in
dustries have been created, immense
fields for human occupation have
been opened, and honest means of bresd-
earning to millions:-all these subjects
are to have place in the courses of our
University; and so are the Humanities, for
these have lost none of their Importance;
but some of the time that was formerly
given TO them in institutions of this char
acter, has now to be given to the Physi-
cal Sciences. They therefore, while pre-
serving their importance in the course of
liberal education, will lose a little of
their ancient prominence, but only for q
time, and until we can build this institu-
ton up, and invest it with all of the quail
tiles and attributes of great University.
The qualifications for admission are 30
modest in their degree, that any lad of
good character not under fourteen years
of age, and with such an education as it
is usual for boys who attend the common
schools to have acquired at that period,
will find admitiance. The requirements,
beyond reading and writing, consist in an
ordinary acquaintance with the rudiments
of arithmetic, geography and English gram
mar. For youths who are more advanced,
and for young men who have been attend
ing other schools and colleges, and
who may desire to enter the
University, provision is made for their 80

studies. All such wil be examined and
be allowed to enter as high up in our
course as they are qualified to stand. The
University will be opened for students on

present room for only about two hundred
cadets, application should, in the mean
time be made to The Executive Commit
