The above plan of studies is designed for such young men as intend to take a degree. They will be admitted to such classes as they shall be judged, on examination, prepared to enter Should any prefer an irregular course, they can join the several classes in thos e particular studies which they may desire to prosecute. While this plan will be in the main followed , such changes will b e made in it as the tastes and abiliti e s of the classes may dictat e. Each stud ent is expected to have three studies, and to recite daily in e ach .
In addition to the foregoing studies, there is a weekly Rhetorical exercise by all the classes, throughout the course. The Board employ four competent instructors to superintend these studies, and should the number of pupils demand it, this number will be increased. Lessons are also given in French at an extra charge, by a native of France, who speaks the English language. '
TERMS.
For the first session of 7 months-Board, including diet, fuel, light and washing, -- - - - - - $56
Room rent and tuition, - - - - - - 28
For the second session of 2 months and 20 days-Board, tuition and room rent, - - 36
Total, _ _ _ _
- - • - - $120
Payments should be half in advance and half at the close of the session. Each student will be charged twenty cents for a copy of the Rules, and will have access to the Library by the payment of one dollar per annum.
REMARKS.
When the classes now pursuing their studies at the Institution shall have arrived at the end of the course, it is the design of the Trustees to confer on such of them as the Faculty may approve, the first degree in the arts. Meanwhile they appeal to a generous public for encourag ement and success. They need an endowment to give enlargement an d permanency to their enterprise . They invite the patronage of stud ious and sedate young men, for whose benefit the College has been established. As bequests to benevolent objects are not recoverable by l aw in Virginia, because the societies promoting th ese objects are not incorporated, they beg leave to suggest, that such bequests could be judiciously made to the College, because they may be secured by a legal process. Hoping that this fact may have its proper effec!, they append the form of a bequest.
"I hereby give and bequeath to the Tru stees of Richmond College, the sum of $---, (or such other property as may be desired to devise, if money,) to be paid to the Treasurer of the said Tru s• tees."
