RECAPITULATION.
S!ATllllNT
The College is composed of seven independent Schools, to which it is proposed, as early as practicable, to add others. The Faculty of instruction and government consists of co-equal Professors, one of whom is annually chosen to be their Chairman and chief executive officer. To them as a body is committed all that pertains to the discipline and interior management of the Institution, while each Professor is responsible for the efficient conduct of his own School.
Each student under the advice of his parent or guardian may select such studies as are most important in qualifying him for the duties of his future pursuits. But while allowing this freedom of election, the Faculty will use their influence to encourage a regular aud complete course of study, and will with pleasure direct, when requested, the course of younger students.
MATRICULATION.
Every applicant for admission, upon his arrival at the College, shall report promptly to the Chairman of the Faculty. If he has been a student at any other incorporated Institution, be must :present satisfactory evidence of general good conduct while there. He will receiye from the Chairman a permit to matriculate, upon presentation of whi~h to the Treasurer, and
the payment of the required fees, his name will be placed on the rolls.
Every student is required to attend at least three Schools each session, unless the Faculty for satisfactory reasons allow him to attend a less number; and he is not permitted, except by leave of the Faculty, to withdraw from or exchange Schools.
Students are assigned to the several classes of a .School at the opening of the session according to their supposed qualifications. But the Professor will be at liberty at any time to transfer a student to a higher or lower class if he finds it desirable.
DISCIPLINE.
The discipline of the College is founded upon the impartial administration of a few plain and reasonable rules. The deportment of a Christian gentleman is the standard to which every student is expected to conform Every appropriate means is used to develope and confirm a sense of personal honour and a sacred regard for truth, as upon these will be placed the main reliance in behalf of good conduct.
Student'! who habitually neglect their duties, or who are not regular and punctual in attendance, will be required to withdraw from College.
RELIGION.
The students have easy access to all the advantages which the city churches of the various denominations, with their Bibleclasses and Sunday-schools, afford.
Prayers are held at the College every morning before the duties of the day begin, and meetings for religious exercises are regularly held by the students on Sunday afternoons and on ·wcdnesday nights. Attendance on religious exercises, whether at the College or in the city, is entirely voluntary, as experience has shown that the best results flow from such a course; and the instruction given is free from sectarian bias.
SESSION.
The session begins on the first of October, and continues without interruption (except a recess of a fe,v days at Christmas,) until the end of the following June.
CATALOGUE.
Students will be received at any time during the session, but are earnestly recommended to enter promptly at the beginning, and thus avoid the serious disadvantages :_occasioned by absence from the classes at that important period.
MODE OF INSTRUCTION.
Instruction is conveyed by the used of approved text-books, supplemented, particularly in the higher 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 students, and, by reducing the size of classes, to afford each student the benefit of full attention and thorough instruction.
MONTHLY REPORTS.
A monthly circular, exhibiting the average preparation of each student in his classes, will be sent to his parent - or guardian. A strict accom t of the value of his recitations in each class is kept by the Professor throughout the month, and the average carefully determined. The monthly report will also contain a statement of the absences of each student from his classes, with such further information as it may be deemed proper to commu.nicate.
The object of these reports is mainly to enlist the active sympathy of friends in the progress of each student., with a view to encouragement and restraint. By the prompt and judicious attention of those to whom they are addressed, these circulars may be made of great efficiency in promoting improvement and sustaining a just discipline.
A tabulated statement of the monthly standing of each student is k~pt, to which reference is had in determining his qualification for graduation in any of the Echools.

This Department is established to afford that direct preparation for business necessary to enable young men to enter advantageously upon commercial life. Whilst this is the principal aim, the instruction given is invaluable even to those who propose to devote themselves to a profession. The great and distinguishing advantage offered to Commercial students in this Institution is, that they are enabled, whilst securing a preparation for business, to prosecute other studies-not only those more closely connected with their special pursuit, such as English, French, German, and Mathematics, but also others indispensable to a wide and liberal education. , The course of study in the Department is as follows:
1. Book-keeping by single and double entry-a full course in every leading department in business. Penmanship, embracing exercises in business correspondence, and in the forms of all business paper, with instruction as to filing and preserving papers, &c.
2. Commercial law-a course of mercantile law, its applicable to contracts, insurance, common carriers, agencies, partnerships, notes, bonds, mortgages, endorsements, sales, negotiable paper, &c.
3. Commercial Arithmetic, including a full course on Fractions, Percentage, Interest, Profit and Loss, Exchanges, &c., with instruction in the technical terms of commerce.
Text-books: Fairbank's Book-keeping; Spencerian System of Penmanship; Groesbeck's Crittenden Commercial Arithmetic and Business Manual (fifth edition.)
A CERTIFICATEOF PROFICIENCY,on parchment, is awarded to each student in the Department who successfully passes the examinations.
The fee for this Department is the same as that for a Collegiate School.
EXAMINATIONS.
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 duripg 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 in writing. A series of q uesti0ns 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.
Candidates for graduation in the Sch~ols of Latin, of Greek and of Modern Languages, are required in their Final examinations to translate from authors selected at will, passages which have not been read and explained in the class-room.
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 <-:lasses.
Candidates for graduation, in any school, are required to attain the first division at the Final examination of the Senior Cla ~s, 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, may, however, relieve the student of an oral examination on that portion of the course embraced therein; and his standing at the daily examinations will also be taken into the account in ascertaining his qualifications for graduation.
CATALOGUE
All candidates for graduation are subjected to a preliminary examination in English, to ascertain whether they have such an acquaintance with the language as is indispensable to the attainment of any of the honours of the Institution.
The results of examinations are communicated to parents or guardians in the Report for the month of June.

Initiatory Fees : Matriculation fee, $5; use of public rooms, $5; and (for resident students,) room-rent, $5.
Tuition : The fee for a single school is $50 ; for two, $60 ; for three, $70; for four, $80. One-half payable 1st October; one-half February 15th.
Board: Students not wishing to mess, may obtain board with Professors resident on the premises, or in other private families near the College, at a cost of $54 per quarter (three months), payable in advance.
Students who prefer to mess, a plan generally adopted during past and present sessions, can live comfortably on $9 per month. This outlay can be greatly reduced by sending supplies of provisions from home.
In forming the messes the students unite in clubs, and each club appoints one of its number as steward, who, under their direction, purchases all supplies for the table, kitchen and dining-room, and divides expenses, crediting each student by the estimated value of supplies furnished the club. This system of messing has proven so economical and so popular, that the Faculty no longer regard it as an experiment, but will by constant supervision and the appointment of a thoroughly skilled house-keeper, endeavour to secure to it still greater efficiency.
Fuel, lights, and washing, cost $3 per month. Two students occupy each dormitory, and together supply the necessary furniture. By bringing, when convenient, bedding, towels, &c., the cost of furniture need not exceed $5. The furniture, if kept in good order, can readily be disposed of upon leaving College.
