The aim of Richmond College is to lay broad and deep founcbtions for solid lea rning. The attainment of its honors depends on honest work and a thorough mastery of what is required. During the fifty-nine years since its establishment as a seminary, the Trustees haYe always cared more for real \\"Orth than for mere show; the Faculty hm ·e constantly insisted on steady industry, rigid examinations, and a high standard for graduation; the students ha\'e generously responded to these demands, aimed at true scholarship, and 1rnrked faithfully for its attainment. And so, by the blessing of Goel, the College has gro,u1 sl01dy to its present measure of success, and promises to continue a healthy grO\\"th in the same line. All its traditio ns and all its hopes require it to offer the best facilities for a sound, liberal education at th e IO\\·est possible cost to the student.
Location.
The founders of the College showed rare wisdom and foresight in sdecti ng a location. Richmond is easy of access from e,·cry quarter, contains yaried and extensive manufacturing establishments, and is a commercia l, political, and religious centre. It therefore furnishes many incenti,·es to study, many aids to culture. The temptations to young men mray from home arc not greater than in a Yillagc, and arc co unteracted by the better police regulations, and by the \\·holcsome moral tone of an exceptionally religious city.
In latitude it lies about midway between the rigors of the north and the relaxing heat of the south. The nine months of the scholastic year ha, ·e few clays either too cold or too hot for comfort in study ing or in outdoor exercise. By its elevation-on hills opposite the falls of the James-it is free alike from the malaria of tide-,rntcr and from the pulmonary and enteric diseases of the mountain region. For t,\·enty-six years there ha,·e been only four deaths in the College, and few other serious cases of sickness-none that could be ascribed to local causes.
Richmond College.
Grounds and Build i ngs.
The premises cover thirteen acres, just inside the western limits of the city, only two squares from and on a level with the site of the Lee Monument, and less than half a mile from the State Fair Grounds and Exposition Buildings. The lots around the College property are being rapidly built up with first-class private residences. The main building (accurately represented in the cut) occupies the centre of the campus. From it the ground falls on all sides to the surrounding streets. There is an abundant ,rnter supply and a complete system of drainage. The Dormitories arc 18x14 feet, high-pitched, "·ell lighted, and yentilated by open fireplaces. The Lecture-Rooms are ample in size, furnished with comfortable seats, and \\·ell supplied "·ith blackboards, maps, charts, and apparatus. The south ,1·ing of the central building contains in the basement a Physical Labor~1tory; on the main floor a Library Hall erected to the memory of Dr. J. B. Jeter; and above a Museum and Art Galley, a memorial to James Thomas, Jr. The Halls for the t,rn Literary Societies are ;)Ox.JO feet, and handsomely furnished. The Chapel has a seating capacity of six hundred, reduced for ordinary use by movable partitions to t,1·0 hundred and fifty. There is a ne,1· and handsome Dining Hall, \Yith all needful appliances, and a Gymnasium and Bath-room, under the same roof.
More than thirty thousand dollars have been expended during the past year in improving and beautifying the already attractive premises of the College. To the imposing edifices heretofore erected hm·e been added a handsome and com·enient double cottage for students, with rooms en suite, and four delightful residences for professors, with pleasant surroundings. The enlargement of the College community by these additions has greatly promoted the social, religious, and literary influences of College life, and increases the home feeling-so much prized by the student. To the advantages of an admirable natural location, just ,1·ithin the ,1·estern limits of the city, have been added a thorough system of municipal imprO\·ements and regulations which greatly conduce to the cesthetic and sanitary conditions of the campus. Health, comfort, and recreation, "·ith sufficient seclusion to promote study, hm·e been provided for, and ,rill receive constant attention.
Org an i za t ion.
The College is composed of independent schools. The Faculty consists of co-equal professors, each responsible for the efficient conduct of his own school. To them, as a body, with one of their number annually chosen for chairman and chief executive officer, is committed all that pertains to the general discipline and interior management of the institution.
The advantages of the system of independent schools are numerous. Among them the following deserye attention: The professor feels the full force both of individual duty and of personal ambition; the course of instruction can be readily enlarged or altered to adapt it to the progress of science and to the varying wants of the times; the student, ,,·hose aims or preparation require, can select a course suited to his peculiar case; he can enter, in any department of study, the classes for which he is prepared, and deficiency in one branch does not retard him in another; students are not divided into fixed classes and grades, but all stand on a footing of social equality, and mingle freely "·ith one another; the "·hole system fayors the utmost thoroughness of culture, even at the expense of less extensiveness in superficial attainments; the degrees, being mrnrded to fe\\·er persons than under a curriculum, are therefore of more value; and every good student, whether he takes a degree or not, receives a testimonial to his success in the shape of Certificates or School Diplomas.
D iscipline.
The deportment of a Christian gentleman is the standard to \\·hich 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 con• duct. A few plain and reasonable rules, for the good of the "·hole body, are prescribed by the Faculty, and a copy furnished to each matriculate Any who ,rnntonly Yiolate these regulations, habitually neglect their duties, or are not regular and punctual in attendance on lectures and recitations, will be required to withdraw from College.
R eligion.
Students have easy access to all the advantages afforded by the various city churches, with their Bible classes and Sunday-schools.
12
Richmond Coltegc.
Th ose who are professors of relig·ion may bring "·ith them letters of commendation, and, \\·ithout se, ·ering their ecclesiastical connections at home, attach themselyes \\'hile here to some church, so as to ha\"e the sympathy and care of a pastor. The daily duties of the College are opened "·ith brief de, ·otional exercises, conducted by one of the professors; and prayer-meetings, conducted by the students themselves, are held t,,·ice or oftener eYery ,,·eek. Attendance on religious exercises is entirely , ·oluntary, as experience has shO\nl that such a course is best in its results.
A course of lectures introductory to the Bible is also proYiclecl, and varied from year to year. These lectures, open ,,·ithout fee to all students, arc designed to help t01rnrds an intelligent and appreciative study of the Book "·hich of all others is the most read, most frequently quoted, and most influential in shaping the thoughts, the feelings, and the conduct of men.
The students maintain in active operation a Young ;\len' s Christian Association, ,rhich, besides its influ<snce in the College, prO\ ides ,,·ork for its members in conducting religious services or teaching Sunday classes at the State Penitentiary, the City Almshouse, Confederate Soldier's Home, and seyeral mission stations in the suburbs. They have also had addresses during the year from a number of able and earnest men.
The Library.
Charles fl ]()'!and, D. D., Librarian.
The Library of the College has its home in the spacious Jeter Memorial Hall. It is handsomely furnished, thoroughly comfortable, and conducted so as to pr01·icle, without cost to the student, the highest inducements to literary and scientific research. There are elez•en thousa!ld z1o!umcs, all accessible under liberal regulations. The lists of Reference \Vorks are especially ample.

Richmond Collrge . Physical Culture.
By the liberality of Mr. B. F. J ohnson, of Richmond, a r egular course of gymnastic drill and instruction has been provided. Every student \\·ho chooses to avail himself of the privi lege is carefully examined to discover any defect of nature or of h abit, and has specially assigned to him the kind and amount of exe r cise deemed most suitable to remedy the evil and promote symmetrica l development. These classes a r e organized for regular drill, h a lf an h our a day, with suitable apparatus and appliances. The system in use the present session by C. T. Taylor, director, is that of Dr. Roberts, of the Y. M. C. A. School at Springfield. It aims not at muscle-building for the purpose of athletic display, but at moderate and healthful exercise, especially of the heart and lungs. The thoroughly scientific bas is of the system has been fully attested by its exce llent results in preserving health and promoting successful study.
Literary Societies.
The students maintain two Societies, meeting week ly for declamation, debate, and other literary exercises, and for the publication of a monthly pamphlet of forty double-column pages, known as Tile J/ifessenger. The Societies cu ltiv ate a generous rivalry, not only with each other, but among their own members, by offering each two medals-one for the best debater, the other for greatest improvement during- the session, and jointly a medal for the best writer, and also an orator's medal.
I. School of Latin. Professor Harrison.
In this sc h ool arc taught th e Latin Language and Literature, and ' Roman History.
The course of study, embracing four years, with daily recitations throughout, is indicated by the text-books used in the several clas es. Stud nts entering the school \\·ill be cl~ssecl according to their previous preparation. For the lowest classes there is required such acquaintance with the elements of Latin grammar as will enable one to begin to translate \\·ith profit.
The JUNIOR Class (both sections) is persistently drilled in the forms and the syntax of the language, with clue attention to quantity. The lNTEIUIEDIATE and SE:--IOR Classes continue to give needful attention to grammatical principles, while they are required to attain a good vocabulary and to imbib e the spirit of Latin literature by an extensive course of reading, somewhat varied from year to year. In all the classes the student's progress is tested, and his powers of analysis and composition are cultivated by \\Titten exercises in rendering English into Latin and Latin into English.

II. School of Greek.
Prefessor Harris.
This School embraces the forms and structure of the language, ,,·ith an introduction to the history, literature, and art of the ancient Greeks. These subjects are distributed into four classes, each meeting fiye times a week. \\Tritt en exercises, translations of English into Greek, or the reYerse, are required at least "·eekly, in eyery class. The aim throughout the course is t,1·ofold-first, to cultiYate habits of minute attention and nice discrimination; secondly, to awaken appreciation of the excellencies of Hellenic genius.
The JUNIOR Class-Section I-begins with the alphabet, and adyancing slo,,·ly, ,,·ith daily exercises and frequent reYie,,·s, is occupied mainly in mastering the regular inflections of nouns and Yerbs. Section II continues the study of the grammar, but cleYotes more time to translating simple Attic prose. The lXTEJDIEDL\TE Class is occupied mainly with reading, giYing, ho,1·e\'er, one day a ,, eek to Greek History, and one to further study of etymology and to the elements of syntax, such as the use of the article, the cases, tenses, and moods. The SEXIOR reads from more difficult authors, sun-eys the literature, and revie,Ys the grammar with special reference to the principles which underlie seeming irregularities and dialectic differences , as \Yell as to some of the niceties of syntax.
Graduates and members of the Senior Class ,rill ha,·e opportunity to form a class to read the New Testament in the orig·inal.

No regular course in literature has been possible, but the subject has been frequently introduced and some general outlines given. French literature in X I X century mts treated at some length. A short course of lectures has been deli,·ered in each school on genesis and history of the language .
Important changes in the course are in contemplation and may be inaugurated before the opening of another session.
IV. School of En glish . Professor Pollard.
The JUNIOR Class studies in the first half session Hig h er Englis h Grammar, giving special attention to etymology and grammatica l analysis; in the second half session, Rheto r ic, with particular refe r -
18 Ri'c/11/lOllclCu1lcgc.
ence to clear and forcible expression in speaking and writing. Lessons in Orthoepy are giyen C\'cry week for the purpose of pointing out to students any errors of pronunciation, and making them acquainted ,Yith the best usage in this country and England.
The lXTELUIEDL\TE Class studies the history of English Literature, and pursues an extensiye course of reading in stanclarcl authors, with constant application of the grammatical ancl rhetorical principles preyiously learned. The opportunity is embraced for helping the student to acquire the art of good reading.
The SEXIOR Class studies Anglo-Saxon and Early English during first half session; and during the second, traces the relation of our language to other tongues, and its grO\rth from its earliest stage to its present forms and constructions.
In all the classes, during the entire session, frequent exercises in Composition arc required, and are criticised in the class-room, for the double purpose of stimulating students to their best enclcan>rs, and giying to all the benefit of the criticisms on each.
Students that propose to join the Intermediate or Senior Class \\·ithout haying attended the class below must stand at the beginning of the session such an examination as \\·ill sho\\· that they arc pre- pared for the class to \\·hich they ,,·ish to be admitted.

In the SE:--:roRClass the course of study includes the Differential and the Integral Calculus, the Calculus of Variations, and introductory lessons in the l\Iodern Higher Algebra and in Quaternions, closing "·ith lectures on the Philosophy of l\Iathematics.
Text-books: Todhunter, Courtenay, and Salmon; the course being supplemented by notes.
The subjects of Land and Raih,•ay Sun•C)'ing are taught in an additional class. The student is required to make himself familiar \\ ith the instruments used by practice in the field.
In all the classes the importance of cultiYating the student's po,Yer of inyention and of independent thought is constantly regarded, and accordingly he is exercised in the demonstration and solution of original propositions and problems throughout his course of study.
VI. School of Physics.
Professor TVinslon.
The S c hool of Physics embraces the se,·eral subjects usually grouped under this title, or under the practically equiYalent name, Natural Philosophy. These include: The General Properties of latter; Mechanics proper, or the cardinal doctrines of Force, Equilibrium, Motion, and Energy, in their Yarious kinds, their relations to the several states of matter, and their practical applications; the phenomena and la\\'s of Sound and of Light; such a treatment of Heat, Magnetism, and Static and Dynamic Electricity as is properly physical; and finally, a brief but compact course in Celestial Physics, or Astronomy.
The method of instruction is by text-books, and by lectures for the most part referring to the text, "·ith daily examinations upon both text and lecture, and written exercises required "·eekly.
The new and excellent suite of rooms recently prepared for this
20 Rich11w11dCollege.
department acids greatly to its comfort and efficiency, and renders possible the proposed large increase of Laboratory "·ork to be clone by students.
The J uXIOR Class, knO\rn also as the class in Experimental Physics, begins ,,·ith the elements, and pursues the course \\·ith the aicl of abundant experiments ancl illustrations, and ,rith continual reference to practical applications. The effort is made to combine in a course of modern Physics the freshness ancl attractiyeness of an experimental and practical treatment, ,rith the rigorous accuracy, the scientific method, and the exact discipline which may form the basis for future scientific \\·ork. It is required, for admission to this class, that the student shall haYe some acquai nt ance ,rith Elementary Algebra and Plane Geometry.
Text-books: Appleton's :-Jew Physics (18!11), or Gage's Physics, and Young's or Lockyer's Astronomy, with others for reference.
In the SE~IOR Class the subjects mentioned aboYe are again taken up in proper o rd er, ancl are studied as completely as possible from the \'antage ground of the knmdedge already gained in the Junior Class, and \\·ith the additional aid to be found in the free use of mathematical principles. An acquaintance "·ith ac\\'anced ;\Iathematics is necessary for admission to this class.
Text-books: Alfred Daniel's Principles of Xatural Philosophy, Anthony and Rrackett's Physics, and Xewcomb and Holden's Astronomy, with others for reference.
VII. School of Chemistry.
Professor P111ycar.
The lectures in this School begin " ith the discussion of the physi- cal properties of the atmosphere. The follo"·ing subjects arc then treated in the order named: Heat and Electricity in their relations to Chemistry; Chemical Philosophy and Notation; Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, ,rith their applications to Heating, Lighting, l\Iineralogy, l\Ietallurgy, Toxicology, Agriculture, and Physiology; Geology.
During the entire cou rse constant reference is had to the applica- tion of c hemica l facts and principles to agricu ltur e, and a part of the instruction of this sc h ool is c\eyoted exclusi,·ely to this object. The sources of the organic and inorganic food of plants, the formation a nd co n stitution of soi ls, drainage, putrescent a nd commercia l fer-
tilizer,;, th , rotation of crops, the feeding· of stock, and simila r topics are fully considered. The course is taught principally by lectures, and is abundantly illustrat ·cl by experimenb.
Text-books: Youman's Ke\\" Chemistry; Roscoe's Lessons in Chemistry; Norton's Scientific Agriculture; Dana's Text-Book of Geology.
VIII. School of Philosophy . Professor Tliomas.
The subjects assigned to this School are diYidecl bet\\·een t\\·o classes, and students are earne,;tly a(h·ised to arrange their course so as to take them in successi,·e sessions. A mastery of the subjects studied in the Junior is important as a preparation for the Senior, and absolutely e,;sential to obtaining a diploma of graduation in the school.
The Jn;10R Class studies Psychology and Logic.
In the former the aim is to teach the subject as a science, and re.,erYe, as far as practicable, for the Senior year questions of Speculatin: Philosophy. The differences bet,,·een the Old and the l\Iodern Psychology arc carefully noticed, and special attention is giyen to nen·ous changes as connected ,1·ith mental phenomena. Pains ,1·ill be taken also to sho,1· the bearing of psychological facts and principles upon self-culture and the science of education.
Logic, including both the Dcducti,·e and the InductiYc, is studied as cxtensiYely and as thoroughly as the time at command , 1·ill allo\\".
The SE:--1OR C lass is occupied "·ith the History of Philosophy and and the principles of Ethics and Political Economy.
I n the first the aim is to trace the g-encral course of philosophic thought, to mark the characteristic doctrines of the clistinctiYe schools, ancient and modern, and to examine critically the more important doctrines of the most influential representatiYes of some of the-;e schools ,1·ith special attention to questions nm1· at issue.
'.\Iuch time is dew>ted to Ethics, theoretical and practical. Among the matters receiYing particular attention may be mentioned the different modes of il1\·estigation "·hicl, h,l\"e been pursued, the more important ethical theories \\"hich ha\"C been ad\'anced, the progress of ethical thought, and the Yaluc of the Christian et h ics.
Less t ime can be giYen to the study of Political Economy, but enough to gain a g-oocl knmdedg-c of the clements of this Yaluable science.
IX . School of Law . Prefcssor Grc._g-01J 1 •
This School, established in 18,0 and continued with slight inter- ruption till 1882, is now firmly re-established. The location is emi- nently suited for combining practical "·ith theoretical instruction, by reason of easy access to the numerous courts-Federal, State, :\Iuni- cipal-held in the city of Richmond, and the large and well-selected libraries-law and miscellaneous-of the State and the College.
The school is organized to prO\ ide for the student a complete course in the general principles of the law and their applications.
To this encl are taught the follo"n·ing subjects, to "·it: The Com- mon Law, Statute Law, Criminal Law, Commercial L:rn·, Equity Jurisprudence, International La11·,Constitutional Lail'.
The school is di\'idecl into two classes, with the follo11·ing TEXT·flOOKS.
Junior Class: Blackstone's Commentaries, Minor's Institutes of Common and Statute Law (Vol. I) Smith on Contracts, :\Iinor's Synopsis of Criminal Law, Vattel's Law of ~ations, \\'oolsey's Introduction to Study of Interna- tional Law (1891), The Federalist, Cooley's Principles of Constitutional Law (student's series).
Senior Class: l\1inor's Institutes of Common and Statute Law (\'ols. II and IV), Stephen on Pleading, Smith's Mercantile Law, Greenleaf's Evidtnce (Vol. I), Adams' Equity. For Nl:fi-'r,·11cc: Code of Virginia, 188,, and Re- vised Statutes of the Cnited States (second edition, 1878) and supplements.
The instruction is thorough, ancl is gin'.n through text-books and lectures, \\·ith daily oral examination:--. The course is designed for two sessions, and the student is ach-ised to cle,·ote that time to it. But he may receiYe the degree of Bachelor of Law in one session if he attains a competent knowledge of all the subjects taught in the school, tested by the regular examinations, and has a creditable com- mand of the English language and a competent kn01dcdge of logic.
Certificates of Proficiency are conferred upon those "·ho attain a sufficient knowledge of International and Constitutional Law to entitle them thereto; and 11·hen conferred, dispense with further study of those subjects to take the degree of Bachelor of Law.
The hours for meeting the classes are so arranged as to allow attendance by la\\· students on classes in the academic department, and by academic students on those of the law course.

L. R. J-fambcrli11, Jnstrucior.
All the "·ork clone under this head is for one encl-effectiveness in cleliyery of speech.
Briefly stated, the "·ork is as follows:
l. Exercises for dc\'cloping repose, grace, and strength of pantomime; openness of throat; correct breathing and lung-power; freedom, purity, modulation, ancl \'olnmc of tone.
:.?. Intelligent comprehension of an author's meaning, so his thought may be correctly phrased and emphasized.
;l_ Culti\'ation of the imagination, to gi\·e emotional coloring to expression.
--!. Practical cleli\'ery of all styles of thou1sht.
The principles of the science ancl art of expression (taken from Hamill, Curry, Shoemaker, Shaftsbury, Shakespeare, Debarte, and Nature) arc delivered to the class by lecture.
Special Rc/crc11cc Books: Curry's Classics for Vocal Expression, and Shakespeare.
Monthly Reports.
As may be seen from the foregoing statement, instruction is conveyed by the use of appro\'cd text-books, supplemented by oral explanations and aclclitions, and in some cas<;s by more formal lectures. In every case the student is questioned on the assigned portion of the text or the pre\'ious lecture. An account of the val u e of his recitations and exercises is kept by the Professor, and the average standing for eac h month is calculated and entered of record for reference in determining his right to any of the honors of the institution.
To the parent or guardian is sent, monthly, a transcript of this

record of class-standing, with a statement of the absence of the student from his classes, and such other information as may be deemed important. By the prompt and judicious attention of those to whom they are addressed, these reports may be made of great Yalue in promoting improvement and sustaining a just discipline. Examinations.
Besides the daily questioning, every class is subjected to two general examinations conducted in writing. The Intermediate Examination, embracing in its scope the first half of the course, is held about the middle of the session. The Final Examination, held near the close of the session, embraces the subjects treated in the second half. In Senior Classes, ho,,·eyer, examinations are not limited to what has been explicitly contained in the course of instruction, but may embrace passages or problems that have not been taken up in the class-room, together ,,·ith an oral review of the ,rhole course taught in the School, as searching and extensive as the professor may deem necessary.
For these examinations a series of questions, with certain numerical values attached, is prepared for each class. The answers furnished by each student are carefully valued, and this valuation is equitably combined with the average of his class-standing. If the mark of a student as thus ascertained amounts to eighty per centum, ]1e is ranked in the first division; if to less than eighty but not less than fifty per centum, in the second division; if to less than fifty, in the tltird division.
Certificates of Distinction are awarded to all who attain the first division at eitlter examination, and their names are published or announced in the closing exercises of the session.
Certificates of Promotion are awarded to all who attain the first division at bot!t examinations, in Junior or Intermediate Classes.
Certificates of ProficienC)' are conferred on all who attain the first division in certain complete subjects of study, to wit: in French, in German, in Surveying, and in Experimental Physics.
Scltool Diplomas are conferred on all who attain the first division in the leading subjects taught in each School, to wit: Latin Language and Literature and Roman History; Greek Language, History, and Literature; two Modern Languages; English Language and Literature; Mathematics; Physics; Chemistry; Philosophy; Law.
Medals.

Session.
The session opens on the Thursday nearest to the 22d of September, and continues thirty-nine \\·eeks-that is, to the corresponding Thursday in June. The next, therefore, \\·ill open September :2-!th, 18\Jl. The exercises are suspended three clays at Christmas.
Students arc earnestly ach·iscd to enter promptly at the opening, \\'hen all classes ai-e organized and begin regular \\·ork. Any ,,·ho come later \\·ill be recei,·ecl, proYiclecl they arc prepared to join the classes a!t:eacly formed.
Selection of Studies.
The system of independent schools alloll's the selection for every student of such studies as \\·ill be most valuable in qualifying him for his future pursuits; but ll'hile alloll'ing such selection, the Faculty hold that the man is more than the occupation, and will always encourage a regular and complete course. To this encl they reserve the right to prescribe the studies of any who may be found unprepared for classes higher than the Junior in Latin, English, and Mathematics.

Regulations.
The committee 111 c harge ha, c gem;ral instructions, 111 making their award of all Aid Funds, to gi,·c the preferencl' -
First. To applicants already at College who ha\ 'L' maintained a good standing both in charactc:r and in study.
Secondly. The other applicants who shall present satisfactory ll'stimonials from the school last attcnclccl, or from other persons 1,ho have hacl opportunity to judge , certifying to thl'ir hmlth, attainments, habits of study, and moral character.
Tl1irdly. To those of either class who gi\'l· rcasonahk assurance that they will complete a course of study leading lo one of the Degrees of the College.
The recipients of aid arc expected to prove, ,ts students, not only above censure in all respects, hut acti\'l·ly lwlpful to the College· hy example and by earnest 1rork.
The awards will be at all times subject to rc, ·ision by the Trustees, who reserve the right Lo withdraw the privikgl' 011 account of neglect of duty , serious misconduct , or failure lo maintain an average standing of at least seventy-live per cent. in three schools.
These Aid Funds arc awarded annually hy a committee of the Trustees, which meets on the first day of July, ancl of which Rev . C. H. Ryland, D. D., is secretary.
The need of ample enclo\\'menl is every year more apparent. The College has passed the line of venture, and , by reason of its admirable location, thorough safety, and conservative manag-ement, is in condition lo give tbe amplest security for the prompt and effective use of all gifts. No institution affords a better field for investment by those \\'ho \\'ish to promote high, Christian education.

C. vVilliams Professorship of' Lrn·, '' as a lasting memorial of that liberal and wise alumnus, friend, patron, and trustee of the College.
The Bostwick Fund.
A conspicuous feature of the endmrment must always be the "I3ost1Vick Fund," so named from the liberality of l\1r. J. A. Bostwick, of New York, \\'ho, within recent years , has given the College bonds and stocks whose face value is 8:51,JOO. The income from the investment has proved a great relief to the necessities of the College. Mr. Bosl\\'ick, as a benefactor of the Colleg ·e, has by his unexampled generosity endeared himself lo our people, and linked his name imperishably with Christian education in Virginia and the South.
Other Funds.
The increasing demand for enlarged equipment in every department of the College prompted the Trustees to adopt a wide-reaching scheme of endowment. This embraces additions to the general endowment, used for the pay of Professors; the endowment of Schools, increase of Aid Funds, ancl the better equipment of the Library and Museum, the particulars of which will be given in
Richmond College.
