College attracted large and brilliant
audience last night. The crowd begun to
collect at on early hour, and by tie time fol
the exercises to open the spacious College
chapel was packed with such an audience as
only kicmoDd can turn out while many
turned away unable to get in. Youth and
bcauty, age and wisdom. the learned profes.
sions, and the honest sons Of industry, were
all there TO smile upon the occasion and
greet the young colegiars who bad attained
their hard-wou honor>. The lest session
Of the College las been u most successful one.
The number of students has not been 80
+ large as the session before, but they have
been more than ordinarily advanced; un.
usual ORDER and studiousness have peryaded
the college. and the general results of the
years work have been in the highest degree
gratifying. The examinations ut Richmond
College are very rigid, and the standard OF
scholarship very high. A diploma or GER
titicatc here means much more than re-
ceipt OF SO much time spent at
into its treasury. Discarding the old "cur-
riculum," and adopting the university
free SYSTEM" they have fixed their standard
so high that their honors are vorth haring,
rs they are rarely attained.
1t was pleasant to see in the sons Of some
of our best citizens among the students, and
the presence of representatives Of every sect
and profession, that the people OF Richmond
are gradually coming to appreciate and to
patronlZe their noble college.
After some very sweet music by Smiths
band, the trustees, faculty, and invited
guests marched in. and the exercises were
opened with an appropriate prayer by Rev.
T. 5. Dunaway, of Fredericksburg.
