the Board; to subject his books, if required, to the inspection of th e Board; to preserve cleanliness about the premises, and to prevent, as far as possible, any damage to the buildings and enclosures.

3. The hours specially appropri:ited to study, are from worship in the morning till some hour in the afternoon designated by the Faculty-and from supper till 10 o'clock at night-and on Saturdays till 11 o'clock-during the whole of which time students will not be allowed to play on any musical instrument, or to make any noise on the premises.

8. Students are expected to attend public worship in the City every Sabbath morning. They shall report themselves to the Faculty when they fail to conform to this rule.

SCHEME OF SCHOLARSHIPS.

The Trustees of Richmond College, having become satisfied that it is expedient to alter their policy in securing an endowment, have adopted the following scheme of scholarships:-

1. Scholarships, at fifty dollars each, not exceeding 2,400 in number, are hereby offered to the friends of education

2. Any person paying, in cash, to the President and Trustees of Richmond College, the sum of fif1y dollars, shall be entitled to one

12 scholarship; and for every ailditional fifty dollars, another share in the scheme shall be held, certificate of which shall be duly issued by the trustees.

3. Each scholarship shall entitle one person, and only one, to a full course of instruction in said College and its preparatory department.

4. Any individual holding a scholarship, may by it, himself pass through a course of study, or send his own son, or the son of another, at any period within thirty years from the time when the operation of the scheme shall commence. Tuition berng given to one person, by virtue of a scholarship, the scholarship shall then become null and void. A scholarship may be transferred by will or otherwise.

5. This scheme shall commence operation when 1,000 scholarships shall have been secured.

6. The foregoing scheme shall not be understood to invalidat e any privilege or right secured by the system of scholarships heretofore adopted by the trustees of the College.

7. To prevent unnecessary expense in collecting scholarships, subscribers are hereby requested to pay to authorized agents, or to the Treasurer in Richmond, the amount of their subscription, with the guarantee on the part of the Trustees that the money shall be invested in State stock, and returned upon tlemand, if the requisite number to complete the scheme shall not be obtained.

8. Any person obtaining ten scholarships, and paying in addition the sum of five dollars, shall be entitled to one scholarship. Twenty scholarships secured, and the payment of ten dollars will entitle to two scholarships."

REMARKS:

When the classes now pursuing their studies at the Institution shall have arri,·ed at the end of the course, it is the design of th e 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 encouragement and success. They need an endowment to give enlargement and permanency to their enterprise. They invite the patronage of stud10us and sedate young men, for whose benefit the College has been established. As bequests to benevolent objects are not recoverable by law in Virginia, because the societies promoting these objects are not incorporated, they beg leave to sug• gest, 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 effect, they append the form of a bequest. "I hereby give and bequeath to the Trustees 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 Trustees."
