THE institution now known as Richmond College developed out of "The Virginia Baptist Seminary," established in 1832, several miles northwest of the City of Richmond. The Seminary at first accepted only candidates for the ministry. Rev. Robert Ryland, the first President, was assisted by two instructors. The number of students the first year was fourteen. The small, wooden buildings were bought with the piece of farm land and were unsatisfactory.
In 1833 the Seminary was removed to "Columbia," the Haxall homestead just west of the city limits. In this eligible location the school grew steadily. March 4, 1840, a charter was granted by the legislature and the name was changed to "Richmond College." On account of inability to offer immediately adequate courses of instruction no degrees were conferred by the college until 1849. Between this date and 1861, when classes were suspended on account of the war between the States, degrees were granted to sixty-eight young men. Dr. Robert Ryland continued as President until 1866.
As a consequence of the war the college endowment was lost, the library destroyed, and the buildings all but wrecked. Nevertheless, the Trustees, encouraged by the gift of $5,000 for maintenance by James Thomas, Jr., elected Rev. Tiberius Gracchus Jones, D. D., as President and reopened the college in 1866. Dr. Jones continued as President for three years. For the next twenty-six years the headship of the college was held by a Chairman of the Faculty. Professor Bennett Puryear, LL. D., was Chairman 1869-1885 and again 1889-1895, and Professor H. H. Harris, LL. D., was Chairman 1885-1889. Among the notable men who gave the college distinction during this period were the two Chairmen, and Professors E. B. Smith, Edmund Harrison, J. L. M. Curry, A. B. Brown, W. D. Thomas, John Pollard and Secretary Charles H. Ryland. In 1873 and again in 1881 there were successful campaigns for money
which provided new buildings and gave the nucleus of a new endowment. In r8g4 the Trustees re-established the presi- dency of the college, and elected to the position F. W. Boat- wright, at that time the youngest member of the faculty. Despite many difficulties there was steady growth. A science hall and a large dormitory were erected, and under the leader- ship of Dr. W. E. Hatcher, President of the Board of Trustees, $100,000 was added to the endowment.
In 1898 women were admitted to college classes. The re- strictions upon matriculation of women did not prevent a slow but constant increase in the number of women students. It soon became evident that better provision should be made for women students. A five-year campaign, undertaken jointly with the Virginia Baptist Education Commission, and with the co-operation of the General Education Board of New York, added half a million dollars to the resources of the corporation. By 1910 the Trustees began to build two co-ordinate colleges in the western suburbs of Richmond and to prepare for removal. The buildings were completed in 1914 and the first session of the greater college began in September, 1914.
The new institution, still called "Richmond College," em- braces a college for men, also called "Richmond College," and a college for women, named "Westhampton College." These two schools are co-ordinate, having practically the same entrance and degree requirements and doing work of the same grade. There is no co-education in either of the colleges, but a considerable number of the same professors teach classes in both. Each college has its own institutional life and both enjoy many advantages on account of the proximity and co- operation of the other. Among these advantages are economy in administration, a larger and better paid faculty of instruc- tion, protection against academic isolation, and the enjoyment of a freer social and cultural life.
The campus of Richmond College embraces 150 acres and that of Westhampton College 130 acres. Westhampton Lake, covering nearly ten acres, separates the two colleges.
The grounds and buildings of Richmond College and Westhampton College are valued at $1,250,000. The income-bearing endowment enjoyed by the two institutions jointly approximates $1,000,000. The dormitories and recitation buildings of both institutions are fire-proof structures, built of steel, concrete and brick. The floors are of reinforced concrete, the partitions of hollow tile, and the casements of bronze. Stairways are constructed of steel with slate treads. All buildings are heated throughout with hot water, lighted with electricity, and provided with the best modern sanitary equipment.
Direct communication is maintained with the heart of the City of Richmond by street cars, which enter the campus and make the trip for a five-cent fare. Faculty and students of both colleges have opportunity to enjoy all the advantages of a world-famous capital city and, at the same time, to live and study in the quiet of a beautiful suburban park.
The buildings of the college for men have cost over $650,000. They include the library and administration buildings, the refectory, the two dormitories, the science laboratories, the auditorium, the power house, and the stadium. The architecture is collegiate Gothic. The main buildings, including the dormitories, are of fireproof construction. All buildings are lighted by electricity and heated with hot water from a central heating plant. Water is supplied to all buildings from the city mains.
(As AMENDED MARCH 3, 1914)

The next sessions opens Thursday, September 14, 1916, in the new buildings at Westhampton Park, three and a half miles west of the old Richmond College campus. Street cars marked "Ninth Street and Westhampton" leave the business center of Richmond, usually on a fifteen minute schedule, and deliver passengers in the new college grounds. The fare is five cents.
The College dormitories open for the reception of students Monday, September r rth. The first meal served at the Refectory will be supper on Monday, the IIth. Students are advised not to arrive at College earlier than Monday, September I rth.
Students furnish their own rooms. A large supply of good second-hand furniture is offered for sale at the College by the Y. M. C. A. at low rates, so that students should have no difficulty in furnishing their rooms on the day of their arrival. Small articles like pillows, blankets, sheets and towels are often brought from home, but may be purchased in the city after arrival. Single bedsteads are used in all rooms.
Rooms in the dormitories will be assigned whenever application is made. Application should be made to the Dean of Richmond College. An advance deposit of $10.00 is necessary in order to hold a particular room. Checks should be made payable to B. West Tabb, Treasurer.
Matriculation begins Wednesday, September 13th. Classes meet for organization Friday, September 15th.
Every applicant for admission, upon arriving at the College, should report promptly at the Dean's office. If he has been a student at any other college, he should present a detailed certificate of work accomplished there, as well as a statement in regard to his character. If he comes from an academy or high school, he
should bring with him, in case he has not already sent it, an admission certificate duly filled out and signed by the principal of the school he last attended. Admission certificates should be in the hands of the Dean, for reference to the proper committee, during the summer.
When the question of preparation for college has been settled affirmatively before the Committee on Courses and Degrees, the applicant will receive a permit to matriculate. After this has been approved by the Dean it should be presented to the Treasurer and Registrar of the College, who, upon payment of the required fees, will record his name as a regular matriculate. Students who delay their matriculation longer than f arty-eight hours after obtaining a permit will be charged an extra fee of $2.00.
For admission to the College the general conditions are as follows:
I. The applicant must be at least sixteen years of age.
2. The applicant should present a certificate of honorable dismissal from the last school attended or other sufficient evidence of good character.
3. The applicant may be admitted on: (r) A certificate from an accredited secondary school; (2) a written examination; (3) as a special student.
The requirements for admission to the Freshman Class are stated in units. A unit represents a year's study in any subject in a secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year's work. Full preparation for college presupposes graduation from a standard four-year high school or academy.
For unconditioned admission as a candidate for a degree fifteen units are required.
I. As Candidate for the B. A. Degree - English 3 units, Mathematics 2,½ units (Algebra r,½, Plane Geometry r), Latin 4 units or Greek 2 units, History r unit, Science r unit. The remaining units are elective.

These twelve units should include ( 1) the seven and a half specified units (English 3, Mathematics 2¼, History I, Science 1), and (2) a sufficient number of prerequisite units in languages to enable the student to remove all conditions in language within two years after entrance. These conditions may be removed by private study or by taking certain coursest in the College or in an approved summer school. No course taken to remove a condition may be counted for credit toward a degree. Conditioned students will be admitted only when, in the judgment of the President and Faculty, circumstances seem clearly to warrant such concession.
* From certain approved schools.
t French 1, German 1, Spanish 1, Greek I may be used for remov- ing entrance conditions.
In all cases of entrance, whether unconditional or conditiona l, the general regulations are those prescribed by the Asso ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern Sta t es , of which Richmond College is a member.

I n subjects which imply laboratory work, such as Physics and Chemistry, two hours of laboratory work are estimated as the equivalent of one hour of recitation. The candidate's laborat or y note-book must be submitted for inspection.
E ntrance examinations will be held at the College on the la~t two days of the session (June 2nd and 3rd), and on the two da y s immediately preceding the opening of the s ession (Se pt ember 12th and 13th). Application for the holding of su ch an examination should be made to the President or the De an of the College not less th~n four weeks previous to the time at which the examination is desired. All candidates who take their examination on the days indicated will be charged no fee; for special examinations held on days other than those des ig nated above, a fee of $1.00 will be charged.
Candidates for advanced standing who present certificates of credit from other standard colleges will be accepted withou t ex amination and assigned to such courses as, in the judg-
ment of the Committee on Courses and Degrees, they may be prepared to enter. No advanced standing for work done in secondary schools, or privately, or in an institution not recognized as a standard college, will receive college credit without an examination. As a rule only those students who are able to present transcripts of their credits in a standard college will be encouraged to undertake advanced courses of study.
Attention is invited to the wide range of studies now offered in the College. Here the student who looks forward to professional study in engineering, law, or medicine may obtain not only general training, but will also have opportunity to make special preparation for his future work. The law student will find his special needs met in the subject treated in the departments of English, History, Economics, Political Science, and Philosophy. Similarly, the prospective student of medicine will find that the work in Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, and Physics has afforded him direct preparation for his profession. By the introduction of mechanical and free-hand drawing, and by the extension of the courses in. Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, the College is in position to prepare students for advanced standing in the best technical universities.
When an academy or high school furnishes evidence to the President of the College that it gives thorough college preparatory training to its students, it may be included in the list of accredited schools. A certificate of its principal filled out on a form provided by the College will then be accepted as a guarantee of the fulfilment of satisfactory entrance requirements. Without such certificate the applicant must secure a statement from the College Committee on Courses and Degrees that he has successfully passed the entrance examinations or that he has been admitted as a special student.

The deportment of a Christian gentleman is the standard to which every student is expected to conform. All appropriate means are used to develop and confirm a sense of personal honor and sacred regard for truth, as upon these rests the best reliance for good conduct. A few plain and reasonable rules are prescribed, and each matriculate must pledge himself to obey them.
r. Occupants of rooms will be held responsible for the good order of their rooms, as well as for any damage or defacement they may sustain. No person, other than an officer of the College, has any right to enter a lodging except upon invitation of the occupants. Changes from one room to another may be allowed by the Dean, but must not be made without his previous consent.
2. A resident student desiring to leave the premises during the hours when, by the schedule of recitations, he should be in his classes, shall get permission from the Dean. Any student desiring to be absent from College shall get the Dean's permit in writing and exhibit it to each of his professors.
3- The Faculty regards hazing as a serious offence against Collegeorder.
4· If a student destroy, deface, or in any way damage College property, or aid and abet others in so doing, he shall, within twenty-four hours, report the fact to the Dean. Students will be charged pro rata for all damages not individually accounted for.
5- No student shall bring upon the premises or have in his possessionany playing cards, intoxicating liquors, dogs or deadly weapons.
6 - No Clubs or Societies shall be formed unless the Faculty, on application made, approve the design of such Association, the rules by which it proposes to be governed, and the hours of meeting.
7. Resident students desiring to board elsewhere than on the College premises must first obtain the approval of the Dean. N o boarding houses can be approved whose meal hours do not con- form to the college schedule.
In the observance of these rules and in all matters not specially mentioned, the deportment of a gentleman and a student is the standard to which every one is expected to conform. His sense of honor is the main reliance, and his word in matters touching his own conduct will be called for at the discretion of the Dean or President.
The student self-government organization, known as the Stu- dent Council of Richmond College, was voluntarily established by the students themselves to further the best interests of the student body and of the College in general. It is vitally concerned with maintaining the honor system in the institution. There is cordial co-operation between the Student Council and the constituted College authorities. Every matriculate of the College is a member of this organization.
At the end of each week each professor makes a report to the Dean of such absences on the part of students as seem to call for the Dean's attention. In case a student has a proper excuse for absence from class, he should present it either to the pro- fessor himself or to the Dean. Permission to be absent from College should be obtained from the Dean. Unexcused absence s are marked zero on the class record and seriously reduce the scholastic standing of a student. A few unexcused absences may cause failure in a month's, or even in a term's work. A student who systematically absents himself from class will be dropped from the College rolls. The Faculty regard this form of neglect of College duties as particularly serious, both because of its inter- ference with scholastic standing and its detrimental effect on character.
If a student desires to make a change in his course of study he should make his application in person to the Dean, who will adv ise him in the matter. No student is permitted either to drop a study or to take up a study without the advice and permission ,of the Dean.
A change in a course of study later than three weeks after matr iculation will not be made, except in rare cases, without the -payment of a fee of $1.00 before such application for change is gra nted.
Students have easy access to all the advantages afforded by the var ious city and suburban churches, with their Bible classes and Sunday schools. Prayer meetings conducted by the students thems elves are held once, or oftener every week. Vesper Services are conducted in the College Auditorium every Sunday afternoon during term time by a member of the Faculty, or by some prominent visitor. These exercises are varied from time to time by a musical program, in which solos by leading singers of Richmond form a part. These services, held on Sunday afternoon at five -o'clock, have proved one of the most attractive features of college life.
For twenty minutes ( r r :oo to r I :20) each day, Monday to Friday inclusive, all classes are suspended for chapel assembly. Exercises are conducted by the President, Dean, or some other member of the Faculty; from time to time specially invited sp eakers may be heard on educational, civic, and religious themes. Attendance is required of all students in the College of Liberal Arts unless specially excused. Absences from chapel amounting to one-tenth of the number of assemblies each term are allowed.
Four units of the standard entrance requirements as published in the catalogue are required for entrance to the department. A course is, however, provided for students who lack one year of preparation for the Freshman class. It carries no credits toward a degree, embracing reading in Cicero's Orations and Letters, or equivalent Latin prose; six books of Vergil's Aeneid; Grammar and prose exercise work; Rudiments of Roman Antiquities.

T he College Library occupies the southern wing of Ryland H all. It is one hundred and three feet long, thirty-two feet wide, and, with its vaulted arched ceiling, twenty-three feet high. The inte rior is panelled in Flemish oak, and the book-cases arranged in alcove plan. There is, at each end, a five-fold Gothic window of striking size and beauty, and in each alcove a casement window
the whole affording natural light at all hours of the day. In convenience and harmony of effect, the Library is the culminatio n of the Collegiate Gothic, that exquisite perpendicular type made familiar by the E nglish colleges, to which all the College build ings strictly conform.
It contains about twenty-five thou s and volumes , not in cluding pamphl e ts, arranged and catalogu e d by the Dewey Sy s t em. The most r e c e nt and useful bibliographical aids are provi ded, and the be s t p e riodicals and reviews, daily and weekly pap ers are currently received. As a depository of the United St ates Government, the Library acquires annually hundreds of p ublications especially valuable for reference in Social and Po litical Scienc e . The students have direct access to the sh e lves during ten hours of each day, and the Librarian and assist ants are always on hand to give help in any line of reading or research
For the convenience of the undergraduates of Westham pton College, there is also maintained in the Reading Room at W esthampton, a well selected reference Library.
The College counts itself peculiarly fortunate in having close by several great collections of books which materially increa se its Library resources. Through the courtesy of the officials, the one hundred thousand volumes of the Virginia State Library and the unique collection of the Virginia Historical Society have been made accessible to our students, both for consultation and withdrawal. These afford exceptional facilities for research, not only in general subjects, but especially in Virginia and American history. It should also be mentioned that our nearness to Washi ngton enables us to make constant use of the Congressional Libr ary. In a few hours, the Reference Librarian can obtain rare books and pamphlets invaluable for theses and debates.
The Law Library occupies a room to itself adjoining the m ain Lecture Room of the Law Department. The Library contain s the valuable collections of law books owned by the late Hon. He nry

An active Young Men's Christian Association is maintained among the students. Its object is to promote the spiritual and moral welfare of the College and to stimulate to religious work in the College and in the city. The Association holds weekly meetings in the College Auditorium, which are addressed by rep· resentative students on vital topics of interest to college men, and from time to time by invited speakers from Richmond and else- where. The Association has as its headquarters a large room in the tower of Thomas Hall. This is comfortably and attrac- tively furnished, provided with newspapers and other periodicals and furnishes a convenient social center for the students. All students of the College are invited to make use of this room as a recreation center. The members of the Association conduct services or teach Bible classes at the City Hospital, the Confederate Soldiers' Home, the Locomotive Works, the Home for Incurables, and at several mission stations in the suburbs. A pleasant feature of the work in College is the arrangement made by the Associa- tion for meeting new students upon their arrival in Richmond and showing them many·needful courtesies.
A council of nine members, made up of trustees, professors, alumni, and students has general charge of Y. M. C. A. ac- tivities.
Connected with the Y. M. C. A. is a Missionary Society, which meets once a week for the study of the habits, customs, religions, and geography of the foreign countries. This Society owns an independent library.

During the season of 1895-'¢ the Richmond College Law Associationwas organized by students of the School of Law for the discussionof literary and legal questions. Meetings are held once a week.
Outdoor sports are fostered and encouraged at Richmond College. Details of management are entrusted to the Athletic Association, composed of students and professors, but general control is exercised by the Athletic Council, composed of representatives from the Trustees, Faculty, Alumni and Students. The annual Field Day contests are admirable incentives to physical culture.
I. The President of the College has general oversight and control of field and track athletics, and is authorized to forbid any features in these exercises which endanger the health or morals of the participants.
2. Only regularly matriculated students are eligible to play on a College team. The Faculty reserves the right to remove from the team at any time any member who may neglect his class duties, or prove himself in any way unworthy.
3- An officer or a member of a College team must maintain a passing grade (C) in at least three regular classes. Whenever ~ny member of a team fails to maintain the required average he is notified of the fact in writing by the President or Dean of the College,and this notice dismisses him from the team or teams of which he is a member. The dismissal becomes effective seven days, including date of notice, from date of official notification, and the student receiving notice may not again represent the Col!ege on an athletic team until he has made the required average I h' n ts classes and has been formally reinstated.
4. Each team is allowed four trips from College, provided that t~ese four trips do not involve being away from College more than seven days. All proposed games must have the approval of the President or Dean before engagements are made.
5. No student under twenty-one years of age is permitted to become a member of a regular team, except upon written permission from his parent or guardian, addressed to the President or Dean.
6. Athletic teams are permitted to engage in contests away from Richmond only with teams from other institutions of learning.
The Alumni of the College have long been organized into a Society, which holds annual meetings to renew old associations, maintain a close connection with Alma Mater , and further the cause of education and letters.

In response to a petition from the student body, the members of the Faculty, who are also members of the scholarship society known as the Phi Beta Kappa Society, have organized a scholarship society in Richmond College to be known as the Arachnid.e These charter members recommend to the Faculty as a whole for election those students who have attained the proper qualifications. In order to qualify, a student must have an average grade for all of his work of 90 per cent., and he must further belong to the first six of the class on the basis of scholarship and he must have good character.
The elections of the preceding four years are as follows:
Class of 1910---R. C. Ancarrow, R. A. Brock, Frances Coffee, T. C. Durham, and C. D. Miller .
Class of 1911-J. W. Decker, J. B. Duval, R. C. Duval, Virginia Robertson, R. G. Smith, and Ruth Thomasson.
Class of 1912-E. G. Ancarrow, W. H. Davis, Frank Gaines, H. E. Owings, E. P. T. Tyndall, and Jessie Wood.

To the parent or guardian is sent, at the end of each of the three terms, a record of the student's class and examination standing, with such other information as may be deemed important. Whenever it may seem desirable more frequent reports are sent. By prompt and judicious attention on the part of those to whom they are addressed, these reports may be made of great vah1e in promoting improvement and sustaining a just discipline.
The standing of students in classes and in examinations is indicated as follows: Students making a passing grade in any study are divided into three groups, designated by the letters A, B, C, respectively. The letter A opposite a student's name indicates that hjs work for the term including examination, has been of superior quality; B, that it has been excellent; C, that it has been good. The letter D indicates that his work has been unsatisfactory, and that he is conditioned on the subject for the term; the condition may be removed and credit given if, in the judgment of the professor, his subsequent work for the year is approximately of the grade B. Grade E indicates failure .
.Besides frequent oral and written tests, there are held in every class three general written examinations at the close of the fall, winter, and spring terms, respectively. All examinations are limited to three 'hours. Recitations and lectures are suspended during the examination period. The valuation of examination papers is equitably combined with the average of the student's class standing for the term. If this average is of C grade or higher, the student receives credit ; if the average is of A or B grade, the student passes with distinction. A condition (D) may be removed by special examination within the first ten days of the
following session. Only those students who attain at least the grade of C are entitled to points in the estimates for degrees. All candidates for College honors of any kind are expected to maintain at least the grade of C in their classes. This grade is expected of every student who wishes to appear before the public in a representative capacity, as member or manager of any team,
Students who fail to make the regular examination, or for any re a son do not stand these examinations , have no right to pass to the next higher class in a department Special examinati ons may be granted only by a vote of the Faculty . All special examination s for entrance to 'higher cfasses must take place within the ten days beginning with the Tuesday preceding the opening of the Coll e ge session (September 12-22)
Except in the case of new student s applying for entrance to adv anced classes and of candidates for degree s of the current session , students will be required to pay a fee of one dollar for each special examination, and the Treasurer's receipt for the fee must be presented to the professor before the special examination will be given.
In the College of Liberal Arts the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (B. A . ), Bachelor of Science (B . S.) , and Master of Arts ( M. A . ), are offered. The candidate for a bachelor's degree must complete, before graduation, sixty hours of college work. One class period per week for the session is the unit . Most classes meet three times a week, and a class year , therefore , unless otherwise stated , counts three hours Oasses in the physical sciencesChemistry, Physics, Biology-count four hours each. A total of fifteen hours a week is regarded as the standard amount of work, twelve hours the minimum, and eighteen hours the maximum.

D., LL. D., late president of the Board. The income of the fund will be used to assist worthy students who need help to secure college education. The fund lacks $3,500 of completion, and gifts are invited.
Scholarships established in Richmond College during the campaign for the Women's College and Endowment Fund shall be used under the following regulations :
r. A scholarship becomes available for use when not less than two thousand dollars has been paid into the College treasury.
2. Scholarships established since January r, 1908, are open to either male or female students, unless the donor specifies a sex limitation.
3. A scholarship pays the annual tuition of the holder. This fe.e is at present one hundred dollars, which is therefore the present annual value of a scholarship.
4. Recipients of scholarships must meet the usual entrance requirements that are demanded of students who pay tuition.
5. Donors of scholarships who wish to nominate students to receive the benefit of their scholarships are informed that it is a rule of the College to make its appointments for one year at a time, and then repeat the appointment as often as may be needful and desirable.
6. Donors of scholarships are requested to nominate beneficiaries by July 1st preceding the opening of the session when the scholarship is to be used, and to notify the President of the Col• lege of the nomination. If the donor has reported no nomination by September 1st, the College will appoint a beneficiary for the current session.
7. It is sometimes desirable to divide a scholarship and to appoint two persons to enjoy the benefits of a half-scholarship each. In such case the holder of a half-scholarship pays half of of the one hundred dollar tuition fee, or $25 for each half session.
8. Reports of students' class and examination standing are mailed at regular intervals to parents or guardians, and a transcript of a beneficiary's report will be mailed to the donor of a scholarship, provided request is made at the President's office.
The committee in charge has general instructions, in making its award of all Aid Funds, to give the preference:
I. To applicants already at College, who have maintained a good standing, both in character and study.
II. To other fully prepared applicants who shall present satisfactory testimonials from the school last attended, or from other persons who have had opportunity to judge, certifying to their health, attainments, habits of study and moral character.
III. To those of either class who give reasonable assurance that they will complete a course of study leading to one of the degrees of the College.
The recipients of aid are expected to prove, as students, not only above censure in all respects, but actively helpful to the College by example and by earnest work.

The Law School, established in 1870, and continued with slight interruption till 1882, was in 1890 firmly re-established. The location is eminently suited for combining practical with theoretical instruction, by reason of easy access to the numerous Courts-Federal, State, Municipal-held in the city of Richmond, and the large and well-selected libraries of the State and of the College.
There are two classes in the School. Regular attendance, satisfactory daily recitations and written examinations on the subjects of each class are required for graduation. No student will be permitted to enter the Senior Class who has not completed satisfactorily the work of the Junior Class, or its equivalent. No student may take the work of both classes in one year. Each applicant for admission must give evidence of fair g,eneral education. Candidates for the law degree of LL. B. must show twelve entrance units, or the equivalent of three years of high school 'work.
The courses, divided according to classes, are as follows :
I. Personal Property, including Wills and Administration, Bailments and Carriers.
2. Domestic Relations.

The buildings of Westhampton College occupy the highest part of a tract of land embracing 130 acres. Separated from this campus by a lake of about eight acres in extent are the spacious grounds of the college for men. The situation is in the western suburbs of Richmond, easily accessible by street cars.
Westhampton College is owned and controlled by the Richmond College corporation, and enjoys all the general advantages afforded by co-ordination with an old and well established college of standard grade. At the same time the college for women has its own separate campus, its own buildings, and its independent institutional life. White many professors will teach in both colleges, instruction will be altogether separate, and women will at no time be taught in classes with men. The internal administration of Westhampton College is immediately in charge of a woman dean, and both men and women teach in the faculty.
The grounds, buildings, and equipment of Westhampton College ar-e valued at $400,000, and the college shares largely in the benefit of the million dollar endowment held by the Richmond College corporation. The buildings, of Gothic

architecture, are most substantially constructed. The framework is steel set in concrete. All floors are of reinforced concrete, and partitions are of brick or hollow tile. The stairways are of steel with slate treads, the window frames of concrete stone and the sash of bronze. The appointments throughout ar ,e of the very best. Safety, health, and comfort of students have everywhere been considered.
The same entrance requirements and the same standards apply in Westhampton College as in Richmond College, with which it is co-ordinate. The first session opens September 17, 1914. For special catalogue and other information, address
