Nix. EDITOR: -Iou ere doubtless aware
that the Trustees OF this institution have re-
ccutiy made number OF important changes
in the curriculu1l, with view to increase the
efficiency and consequently the usefulness of
the University. The following comprchends
those most likely stoss interest the numerous
readers efyour popular Journal >-.@
On the6th day ofnext October, the Trus-
tees will open preparatory school. the object
of whichwill be to prepare young men for
active business, or for admission to some Of
Colleges of the University
No charge will be made for tuition, and
the requisites to admission will be simply
ability to spell, read, write, and knowledge
of the four elementary rules OF arithmetic
In this school will be taught all the common
English branches, with Lain, Creek, Algc-
bra, Geometry, Natural Philosophy, Chcmis-
try. History, Bookkeeping. The course er1n-
braces four years, but student may enter
an advanced class, If prepared by previous
study, and then complete the Course i'll one,
two, three OF four years, according to circum-
stances. The students will be under the i'm
mediate control Of a Principal, but they vii!
be taught by the various professors of the
University. This will secure their instruc-
ton from the most experienced and able
teachers, with the use of all necessary ap'
paratus for illustrating the various subjects
Of study. This extra labor, the professors
cheerfully take upon themselves.
On the same day, the Trustees will open q
College of Literature and Arts, with faculty
of eight professors, in which will be given
the ordinary four years coarse Of study,
necessary to secure the degree of Bachelor of
Arts Students not fully prepared to enlcr
this course, may supply their deficiencies in
the preparatory school. The course Of study
in the College of Science and Philosophy will
be the same rs that in the College OF Lltera-
ture and Arts, except the Ancient Languages,
aad may be completed in two years, and
those completing this course will receive the
degree of Bachelor Of Philosophy.
This will be an admirable course for buSi-
ness men, This College will be in charge Of
six professors.
The Faculty of Law will consist Of four
able professors; embracing professor of
Law proper, and three other professors in the
cognate branches necessary to fit the student
for the practice Of his profession.
The Medical College will be IN charge OF
six professors and teachers, four in teaching
the medical studies, and two giving the
necessary scientific and literary instruction.
These four different Colleges, each complete
in itself, vii! constitute the University
Some of the professors will be engaged IN
more than Que College. Each student will
be expected TO have at least three daily rec-
tationS. No literary institution in the land
can give the student better advangtcs, and
in no other College can such advantages be
enjoyed at so small an expense. The various
professors in the Literary, Law and Medical
schools have volunteered to relinqulsh their
tuition fees, so that the student need only
provide for his board, clothing, textbooks,
and pay for his diploma. The diploma fee
will not be as in many schools from thirty
to fifty dollars, but for the degree Of Bachelor
of Arts, Bachelor Of Laws, or 81. D., the
charge will be SIS. By messing, students
have made their expenses OF board, lights,
fuel and washing, not to exceed SO per
month. To board in families the expense
will be from SIC to $40 per month.
So ample are the buildings and full the
faculties in the variols Colleges, that three
hundred students car be accommodatad.-
The sons of South Carolina need rot 60
abroad for instruction, as it is offered to
them free of expense at home, in the pro-
fcssioual as well as in the literary and scicn-
tifc school,. It is hoped that the University
will be full next year. CAiOLlNA.
