The Junior and Senior classes are yet t o be arranged. The above plan of studies is desi g ned, as far as it goes, for such young men a s intend to t ake a degree. They will be admitted to such classes as they shall be judged, on examination, prepared to enter.

In addition to t he foregoing studies, t here is a weekly Rhetorical exercise by all the classes, except the First , throughout the course. The Board employ three competent instructors to superintend these studies, and should the number of pupils demand it, this number will be increased. Lessons are also gi ven in French at an extra charge, by a native o f France , who speaks the English language.

REMARKS.
The Va. Baptist Education Society had under it s care a Seminary from the 1st of July, 1832, to the 1st of January, 1843. In the progress of that institution, its conductors and friends became satisfied of the importance of securing for it an act of incorporation. As, however, the Legislature was k nown to be decidedly hostile to incorporating religious institutions, the Society determined to d esignate about forty gentlemen who should proc ure the passage of an act incorporating thems elves under the title of "Richmond College," and to transfer, on certain conditions, the Semi nary to their hands. This has been done, a nd the present is the first year of the operat10ns of the College. As the Trustees are determined to avoid pecuniary embarrassment, they propose t o conduct the College classes only so far as their resources may justify, taking care to have t h e s tudents thoroughly taught as far as they shall go. It 1s not their purpose to confer degrees till they s hall have afforded facilities for education equa l t o those of other chartered institutions. As the p atronage of the community and the proceeds of a n endowment now lieing raised shall increase th eir means, they will continue to add to the ir c orps of instructors, until they shall have procured a Faculty sufficient to conduct the classes through t he ordinary collegiate course. Meanwhile they a ppeal to a generous public for encouragement a nd s uccess. Some of our noblest institutions h ave sprung from humble beginnings. It is far b etter to proceed cautiously-to live within our means-and to rise gradually but surely, than by a ffecting a premature prosperity, to plunge t h e e nterpr ise i nto t he vortex of ruin .
