RICI--3::MOND COLLEGE.
ORGANIZATIOK.
The internal management of the institution i,, committed to the Faculty.
Each Professor has eontrol in his own School of the mode of instruction, the standard of graduation, and the method of de- termining it. Students will he rigidly examined as to their knowledge of the principles and details of the lectures and texts, and a high grade will be maintained in all the Schools.
MATRICULATION.
Every applicant for admission as a student must obtain from the President a certificate of matriculation. Upon the presen- tation of this certificate to· the Treasurer of the Faculty, and the payment of his fees, his name will be placed on the catalogue of students.
Every student is free to enter the Schools of his choice, or such as his parent or guardian may direct, and to graduate in any of the Schools whenever he can furnish satisfactory evi- dence by actual examination that he is properly qualified, without reference to the period of his attendance at the institution. He is required, however, to attend three Schools each session, unless the Faculty for satisfactory reasons allow him to attend less. ·
A student entering any School has the privilege of attend- ing any or all of its classes, as he may elect; and, if prepared
to enter an advanced class, may often find it highly advan- tageous to review his previous studies by attendance on a lower class also.
DISCIPLINE.
The discipline of the College is founded upon the impartial administration of a few plain and reasonable rules. The de- portment of a Christian gentleman is the standard to which every student is expected to conform his own. Every appro- priate means is used to devclope and confirm a sense of personal honor and a sacred regard for truth, as upon these will be placed the main reliance in behalf of good conduct.
RELIGION.
The religious advantages of the College arc unsurpassed, but attendance on religions exercises, whether at the College or in the city, will be entirely voluntary, as experience has shown that they are thus productive of the best results; and the in- struction given shall be free from all sectarian bias.
SESSION.
The session begins on the fin,t of October, and continues without interruption (except a recess of a few days at Christ- mas) until the encl of the following June.
MODE OF INSTRUCTION.
Instruction iti conveyed by the use of approved text-books, supplemented, particularly in the highei· classes, by lectures, and accompanied in all the classes by searching daily examinations.
Section-teaching is resorted to, especially in the lower branches, in order to secure satisfactory classification of stu- dents, and, by reducing the size of classes, to afford each student the benefit of full attention and thorough instruction.

~XAMINATIONS.
Besides the daily examinations in the various classes, there are two general examinations in each class, held during the session, which every student is required to stand. The first, called the Intermediate examination, occurs about the middle of the session, and embraces in its scope all the subjects taught during the first half of the course. The second, called the Final examination, is held near the close of the session, and embraces the subjects treated of in the second half of the course. These examinations are conducted iii writing. A series of questions is prepared for each class, and certain numerical values are attached thereto, in proportion to their relative importance. After the examinations, the answers furnished by each student are carefully read and valued. If the aggregate value of the answers of any student amount to four-fifths of that attached to the questions, he is ranked in the first division; if to less than four-fifths, but not less than one-half, in the second division,· if to less than one-half, in the third or lowest division.
Certificates of Distinction are awarded to those who attain the first division at either of these examinations, and their names are published or announced in the closing exercises of the session.
Certificates of Promotion are awarded to those who attain the first division at both these examinations, in the Junior or Intermediate classes.
Candidates for graduation, in any school, are required to attain the first division at the Final examination of the Senior Class, and to stand, besides, an oral examination, as searching and extensive as the Professor may deem necessary, on such portions of the course taught in the School as he may select. A distinction at the Intermediate examination in the Senior Class, will, howe,·er, relieve the student of an oral examination on that portion of the conrse embraced therein; and his standing
at the daily examinations will also be taken into the account in ascertaining his qualifications for graduation.
All candidates for graduation arc subjected to a preliminary examination in Engfo,h, to ascertain whether they have such an acquaintance with the language · as is indispensable to the attainment of any of the honors of the Institution.
The results of examinations arc communicated to parents or guardians in the Report for the month of J unc.

Fuel, lights and ·washing cost each student from $3 to $3.50 per month. By boarding in messing clubs, which plan has '
during the current session been adopted by all the resident students, the total expenses of a student for the whole session, (exclusive of cost of text books and stationery,) need not exceed $200: for, though he assists in furnishing his dormitory, the furniture may be disposed of, at the close of the session, at a small discount, if kept in good order. The money to meet his expenditures ·will be needecl at intervals; say $69 on entering, and $12 per month thereafter, excepting the month of February, for which he would require $47. Mess-halls and kitchens are put at the disposal of students desiring to board in messes, at a charge of $4 for the entire session, payable on entrance, which amount is included in the estimate above. The outlay indicated can be reduced to a large extent when supplies of provisions are sent from home. The routes of transportation centering here, this method can be adopted in almost every part of this and the neighboring States; so that a parent can support his son mainly upon the provision he would consume, if at home.
The following is the report of a mess-club of six, giving their experience during the present session: ,
"Expenditures of each member of the mess for table supplies, estimating all supplies sent from home at highest market rates, less than $9 per month. Fuel, lights and washing for each, less than $3 per month."
Students who do not desire to mess, can obtain board in the families of some of the Professors, or in other families Ii ving near the College, at from $15 to $20 per month.

year. No payments arc refunded on account of withdrawal before the close of the session, unless the withdrawal is made necessary by ill health. J\Iany disadvantages to the student result from late entrance. Prompt attendance at the beginning of the session is earnestly recommended to all who would avoid the serious loss occasioned by absence from the classes at that important period.
Students having the ministry in view, and properly endorsed by their churches, will be received free of all College fees, except those of $5 for "public rooms and fuel," and $4 for rent of mess-hall.
::\1ONTHLY REPORTS.
A monthly circular, exhibiting the average preparation of each student in his classes, will be sent to his parent or guardian. A strict account of the value of his recitations in each class is kept by the Professor throughout the month, and the average carefully Jetcrmined. The monthly report will also contain a statcmept of the absences of each student from his classes, with such further information as it ' may be deemed proper to communicate.
The o~jcct of these reports is mainly to enlist the active sympathy of friends in the progre ss of each student, with a view to encouragement and restraint. By the prompt and judicious attention of those to whom they arc addrm,scd, these circulars may be made of great efficiency in promoting improvement and sustaining a just di scipline.

These . Societies, established for improvement in debate, declamation and composition, are maintained with energy and profit. Offering medals for eminent ability and improvement, they excite a generous emulation ainong the members, productive of very beneficial results.
