RECAPITULATION.
~rganization,CoursesofInstruction,Ex~enm, &01,attichmondCollege
The College is compo sed of se ven independent Ac a demic Schools, a School of Law and a Comm ercial department. The Faculty of instruction aud government consists of co-equ a l Professors, one of whom is anuually chosen to be their Chairman and chief executive officer. To them as a body is committed all that pertains to the disci pline and interior management of the Institution, while each P rofessor 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 and complete course of study, and will with pleasure direct; when requested, the course of younger students.
MATRICULATIO~.
Every applicant for admission, upon his arrival at the College, shall report promptly to the Chairi,rnn of the Faculty. If he has been a student at any other incorporat ed Institution, he must present satisfactory evidence of general good conduct while there. He will receive from the Chairman a permit to matriculate, upon presentation of which 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 l east three Schools, .unless the Faculty , for satisfactory reasons, allow him to
CATALOGUE
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 develop 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. :Students 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 ad vantages afforded by the various city churches, with their Bible-classes and Sunday-schools. Those who are professors of religion are advised to bring with them letters of commendation, and thus, without severing their ecclesiastical connection at home, attach themselves while here to some church, and have the sympathy and care of a pastor. The daily duties of the College are opened with brief devgtional exercises conducted by one of the Professors, and prayer meetings, conducted by the students themselves, are held once or more every week. Attendance on religious exercises is left voluntary, as experience has shown that the best results flow from such a course.
BIBLICAL LECTURES.
Believing that no education is complete without a knowledge of the book, which of all others is most widely read, most frequently quoted, and most influential in shaping the thoughts, feelings and conduct of men, the Faculty have pro-
vided, free of cost and open to all the students, a course of weekly lectures on the Bible. These lectures are neither sermons nor theological discussions, but a simple presentation of such facts and thoughts as will incite the students to an intelligent and appreciative study of the Sacred Scriptures. Profs. Curry, Harris and Harrison, and Drs. Burrows, Randolph, Hoge, Read, Bitting, Granberry, Jeter, Bettelheim and Dashiell, have presented during the current session an outline of Biblical History, illustrated by maps and charts.
The course will be varied from year to year. For constant reference throughout the course, students would do well to provide themselves with an Annotated Paragraph Bible, Angus' Bible Handbook, Barrows' Companion to the Bible and Smith's old and new Testament Histories.
SESSION.
The session begins on the first of October, and continues without interruption (except a recess of a few days at Christmas,) until the end of the fol1owing June.
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 use 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 affoi:deach 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 account of the value of his recitations in each
CATALOGUE
class is kept by the Professor throughout the month, and the average carefully determined. The monthly report will also cnntain a statement of the absences of each student from his classes, with such further information as it may be deemed proper to communicate.
The object of these reports is mainly to enlist the active sympathy of friends in the progress of rach 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 jnst discipline.
A tabulated statement of the monthly standing of each student is kept, to which reference is had in determining his qualification for graduation in any of the Schools.

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 15ession,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 clo;;e of the ses,;:ion,and embraces the subjects treated of in the second half of the coul'se. These examinations are conducted in writing. A series of questions is prepared for each class, and certain numerfoal 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 Schools 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 thPS"eexaminations, and their namrs 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, 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 tbe 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 Repo;rt for the month of June.

3. That of BACHELOROF ARTS-conferred upon such students as have graduated in the Schools of Latin, Greek, Math ematics, Natural Sciences, Moral Philosophy, and English, provided that in li 2u of graduation in the School of Mathematics, may be sub ~tituted graduation in either French or German. and distinction at both examinations in the intermediate cl~ss of Mathematics.
4. That of MASTER OF ARTS-conferred upon students who have graduated in the Latin, Greek, French, German and English Languages, Mathematics, •Natural Sciences, and Moral Philosophy, and who have passed satisfactory general examinations in review, on all the subjects embraced in the curriculum.

5. That of BACHELOROF LAw-conferred ' upon students who have passed satisfactory examinations in the classes of the Law Department.
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 paya 1ile 1st October; one-half February 14th.
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 almost exclusively adopted during the last and the current session, can live well on less than $10 per month. Even this amount can be largely reduced by drawing supplies of provisions from home. The average expense this session to each Rtnden.t messing up to this date, May 1st, bas been exactly $9.~6 per month, embracing not only diet, but the fees of the matron and of the steward, table-ware, servants' attendance, cooking fuel aud utensils, in<leE><leverything whatsoever connected with board. The fare has been abundant, sufficiently varied, and served in the nicest and most skillful manHer; the dining- rooms are kept clean, neat and tasteful, while the conduct of the students, under their own rules of discipline, bas been en- tirely quiet and orderly. The students are more than satisfied with the plan, and exprE>sstheir decided preference for it over boarding in College Hotels even at the same cost. This unqualified success is due, in a large measure, to the skill, energy and taste of Mrs. Eanes, the matron of the messing clubs, who will be retained in that relation.
In forming the messes the students unite in clubs, each , club appointing one of its number as steward, who, purchases all supplies for the table, and divides expenses, crediting each student by the estimated value of supplies furnished the club. Excellent accommodations in the way of dining-rooms, store- rooms and kitchens, are furnished by the College, and the Faculty will use every effort to foster the system and maintain its present state of efficiency.
CATALOGUE
Fuel, lights, and washing, cost $3 per month. Two students occupy a dormitory, and together supply the necessary furniture. If bedding, towels, &c., be brought from home, the outlay for furniture need not exceed $5. The furniture, if kept in good order, can readily be disposed of upon leaving College.
