RECAPITULATION.
The following, not matriculates, have pursued the study of Expression: REV. J. M. COLEMAN, REV. T. R. CORR.
The aim of Richmond College is to lay broad and deep foundations for solid learning. The attainment of its honors depends on honest work and a thorough mastery of what is required. During the sixty years since its establishment as a seminary, the Trustees have always cared more for real worth than for mere show; the Faculty have constantly insisted on steady industry, rigid examinations, and a high standard for graduation ; the students have generously responded to these demands, aimed at true scholarship, and worked faithfully for its attainment. And so, by the blessing of God, the College has grown slowly to its present measure of success, and promises to continue a healthy growth in the same line. All its traditions and all its hopes require it to offer the best facilities for a sound, liberal education at the lowest possible cost to the student.
Location.
The founders of the College showed rare wisdom and foresight in selecting a location. Richmond is easy of access from every quarter, contains varied and extensive manufacturing establishments, and is a commercial, political, and religious centre. It therefore furnishes many incentives to study, many aids to culture. The temptations to young men away from home are not greater than in a village, and are counteracted by the better police regulations, and by the wholesome 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 have few days either two cold or two hot for comfort in studying or in outdoor exercise. By its elevation-on hills opposite the falls of the James-it is free alike from the malaria of tide-water and from the pulmonary and enteric diseases of the mountain region. For twenty-seven years there have been only four deaths in the College, and few other serious cases of sickness-none that could be ascribed to local causes.
Grounds and Buildings.
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 water supply and a complete system of drainage. The Dormitories are 18x14 feet, hig·h-pitched, well lighted, and ventilated by open fireplaces. The Lecture-Rooms are ample in size, furnished with comfortable seats, and well supplied with blackboards, maps, charts, and apparatus. The south wing of the central building contains in the basement a Physical Laboratory; on the main floor a Library Hall erected to the memory of Dr. J. B. Jeter; and above a Museum and Art Gallery, a memorial to James Thomas, Jr. The Halls for the two Literary Societies are 30x40 feet, and handsomely furnished. The Chapel has a seating capacity of six hundred, reduced for ordinary use by movable partitions to two hundred and fifty. There is a new and handsome Dining Hall, with all needful appliances, and a Gymnasium and Bath-room, under the same roof.
More than thirty thousand dollars have recently been expended in improving and beautifying the already attractive premises of the College. To the imposing edifices heretofore erected have been added a handsome and convenient 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 feelingso much prized by the student. To the advantages of an admirable natural location, just within the western limits of the city, have been added a thorough system of municipal improvements and regulations which greatly conduce to the a:sthetic and sanitary conditions of the campus. Health, comfort, and recreation, with sufficient seclusion to promote study, have been provided for, and will receive -constant attention.

Organization.
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 deserve 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, whose 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 with one another; the whole system favors the utmost thoroughness of culture, even at the expense of less extensiveness in superficial attainments; the degrees, being awarded to fewer 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.
Discipline.
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, for the good of the whole body, are prescribed by the Faculty, and a copy furnished to each matriculate. Any who wantonly violate 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.
Religion.
Students have easy access to all the advantages afforded by the various city churches, with their Bible classes and Sunday-scho'.)ls.
Statements.
Those wh o are professors of re l igion may bring with them letters of commendation, and, without severing their ecclesiastical connections at home, attac h themselves while here to some church, so as to have the sympathy and care of a pastor. The dai ly duties of the College are opened with brief devotional exercises, conducted by one of the professors; and prayer-meetings, conducted by the students themselves, are held twice or oftener every week Attendance on religious exercises is entirely voluntary, as experience has shown that such a course is best in its results.
A course of lectures introductory to the Bible is also provided, and varied from year to year. These lectures, open without fee to all students, are designed lo help toward an intelligent and appreciative study of the Book which 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 Men's Christian Association, which, besides its influence in the College, provides work for its members in conducting religious services or teaching Sunday classes at the State Penitentiary, the City Almshouse, Confederate Soldiers' Home, and several mission stations in the suburbs. They have also had addresses during the year from a number of able and earnest men.
The Library.
Cltarles H RJ 1land, 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 provide the highest inducements to literary and scientific research. There are eleven thousand four lmndrcd volumes, all accessible under liben,l reg·ulations. The lists of Reference Works are especially ample. No pains or cost are spared to secure to professors and students the latest and best works in every line.
Students greatly enjoy the elegant hall with its ample resources. There is no extra charge for this expensive, delightful Library outfit.
Reading-Room.
The Reading-Room is supplied with the best dailies, weeklies, and monthlies. Sixty magazines, and all leading newspapers, com-
Richmond Collr9e.
prising the best literary, scientific, educational, and religious publications of America, are subscribed for regularly. To these are added all the college magazines and a full line of French and German papers. Excellent provision is made for gathering and compiling missionary intelligence, while Bible study is encouraged by placing within the reach of all the most modern helps and the best comm en taries. Museum.
Plans for the thorough equipment of the Museum are maturing. The collection of valuable specimens from our own and foreign lands is already very attractive to the visitor and stimulating to the student.
More than fifty paintings, rare photographs, and pieces of statuary, together with good collections in the lines of Ethnology, Palreontology, Geology, Mineralogy, are already displayed, awaiting final arrangement in the Jame:!! Thomas Museum and Art Hall.
The Librarian is curator of this department.
Public Lectures.
A donation of ten thousand dollars, made by the widow and children of the late James Thomas, Jr., and known as the 11 Tltonzas llfuseum Lecture Endowment,'' is used to secure annually at the College, and without cost to the public, a course of Lectures by eminent men of our own or other countries on subjects either of Science, Philosophy, Art, or Literature.
The course for 1891-' 92 was delivered by President Daniel C. Gilman, of Johns Hopkins University.
Physical Culture.
By the liberality of Mr. B. F. Johnson, of Richmond, a regular course of gymnastic drill and instruction has been provided. Every student who chooses to avail himself of the privilege is carefully examined to discover any defect of nature or of habit, and has specially assigned to him the kind and amount of exercise dee,ned most suitable to remedy the evil and promote symmetrical development. These classes are organized for regular drill, half an hour a clay, 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 exer-

The students maintain two Societies, meeting weekly for declamation, debate, and other literary exercises, and for the publication of a monthly pamphlet of forty pages, known as Tlte J//fessenger. The Societie. cultivate 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 school are taught the 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 se, ,eral classes. Students entering the school will be classed 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 with profit.
The JUNIOR Class (both sections) is persistently drilled in the forms and the syntax of the language, with due attention to quantity. The INTERMEDIATE and SENIOR Classes continue to give needful attention to grammatical principles, while they are required to attain a good vocabulary and to imbibe 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 written exercises in rendering English into Latin and Latin into English.
TEXT-BOOKS.
Junior.-Section I.-Cresar, Sallust (Long's ), McCabe's Bingham's Latin Grammar. Section II.-Vergil, Cicero's Orations (Chase and Stuart's ), McCabe's Bingham's Grammar. For Reference: Baird's Classical Manual.

I I. School of Greek.
Professor Harris.
This School embraces the forms and structure of the language, with an introduction to the history, literature, and art of the ancient Greeks. These subjects are distributed into four classes, each meeting five times a week. Written exercises, translations of English into Greek, or the reverse, are required at least weekly, in every class. The aim throughout the course is twofold-first, to cultivate 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, ahd advancing slowly, with daily exercises and frequent reviews, is occupied mainly in mastering the regular inflections of nouns and verbs. Section II continues the study of the grammar, but devotes more time to translating simple Attic prose. The INTERMEDIATEClass is occupied mainly with reading, giving, however, one day a week to Greek History, ancl 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 SENIOR reads from more difficult authors, surveys the literature, and reviews the grammar with special reference to the principles which underlie seeming irregularities and dialectic differences, as \\'ell as to some of the niceties of syntax.
Graduates and members of the Senior Class will have opportunity to form a class to read the New Testament in the original.
TEXT-BOOKS.
J1tnior.-Section I: --First Greek Book, Xenophon's Anabasis. Section TI: Allen's Hadley's Grammar, Anabasis, Lysias (Stevens' EJition), Jones' Prose Composition.

R,chmolid College.
S ch ool of M athema t ics.
Professor Gaines.
This School offers a course of pure Mathematics extending over four years or divided into four classes. The work of the lowest class presupposes a thorough knowledge of Arithmetic and of Elementary Algebra through simple Equations. Provision will be made, however, for instruction in higher Arithmetic ancl Elementary Algebra of students not coming up to this requirement, but otherwise prepared to enter college.
The aim of the course is not so much to make specialists of a few enthusiastic students as to give thorough mental discipline to the many. It is intended to increase the student's power of independent, earnest, honest investigation-to encourage the habit of stating with clearness and exactness his own convictions, and of giving logically his reasons for them. Throughout the entire course numerous exercises and original problems are given to stimulate the student's confidence in his own reasoning, and to cultivate his power of invention.
But while mental development is the chief aim, still it is believed that the student who masters the course given below will have realized something of the power and elegance of the science, and the magnitude of the field that lies before him, and if he should wish to pursue the subject further will have acquired sufficient knowledge of Mathematics and mathematical methods to be able to continue his studies independently. It will be seen that in the work of the first three years are included nearly all the subjects found in the usual college course.
Junior.-Section I.-Algebra through Quadratic Equations and Plane Geometry.
Text-books: Hall and Knight's Elementary Algebra, Chauvenet's Geometry.
Section IL-Algebra, beginning with Quadratic Equations, Solid Geometrx, Plane Trigonometry.
Text-books: C. Smith's Algebra, Chauvenet's Geometry, Trigonometry. Intermediafe.-Conic Sections, including the methods of trilinear :rnd tangential co-ordinates, and Theory of Equations, including Dete r minants.
Text-books: C Smith's Conic Sections, Burnside and Panton's T h eory uf Equations.
Senior.-Differential and Integral Calculus, with numerous applications to the theory of maxima and minima, the theory of curves, rectification of curves, determination of areas and volumes, problems in mechanics, &c. Calculus of Variations and introductory lessons in modern higher Algebra and in Quaternions.
As parallel work, the students are required to read a short history of Mathematics in order that they may know something of the development of the science and of the mathematicians who have principally contributed to this development.
Text-books: Toclhunter's Differential Calculus, \,Villiamson's Integral Calculus, Salmon's '.\fodern IIigher Algebra, the course being supplemented by notes.
The subject of Land Surveying is taught in an additional class, open to students who have finished the second junior section. l\Iuch of the time cleyoted to this class is spent in the field, thus giving· the student familiarity with the instruments used, and considerable practice in doing the field ,rnrk.
Text-book: Gillespie's Land Surveying.
IV. School of English.
Professor Pollard.
The objects of the School are: (1) to give the student a practical mastery of the English language in speaking and writing ; (2) to give a knowledge of the history of the literature that has been enshrined in the English language and of the people among whom that literature has been mainly developed; (3) to cultivate a taste for the best and the most beautiful that has been written, and impart, as faras possible, that literary judgment by which every sentence, every figure, every paragraph, every production may be tested; (4) to make the English tongue the means of leading the student on to a creditable knmdedge of comparative philology and of the science of language.
The JUNIOR Class studies in the first half session Higher English Grammar, giving special attention to etymology and grammatical analysis; in the second half session, Rhetoric, with particular reference to clear and forcible expression in speaking and writing. Lessons in Orthoepy are given every week for the purpose of pointing out to students any errors of pronunciation, and making them acquainted with the best usage in this country and England.
20 Richmond College.
The INTER.MEDIATE Class studies the histories of English literature and of the English people, and pursues a course of reading in standard authors, with constant application of the grammatical and rhetorical principles previously learned. The opportunity is embraced for helping the student to acquire the art of good reading.
The SENIOR 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 growth from its earliest stage to its present forms and constructions.
In all the classes exercises in Composition are required, and are criticised in the class-room, for the double purpose of stimulating students to their best endeavors, and giving to all the benefit of the criticisms on each.
Students that propose to join the Intermediate or Senior Class, without attendance upon the class below, must stand at the beginning · of the session such an examination as will show that they are prepared for the class to which they wish to be admitted.
TEXT-BOOKS.
Junior: Meiklejohn's English Language, Bai n's Higher English Grammar, Morris's Historical Grammar, Abott's How to \Vrite Clearly.

School of Modern Languages.
Professor Boafanglit.
French and German are the languages taught. The aim is to give the student a knowledge of vocabulary and grammatical structure sufficient to enable him to read their literature with understanding and pleasure. Secondarily, to teach him to speak these languages fluently and idiomatically, and to understand them when spoken.
The following is a conspectus of work actually done during the current session, so far as it can be exhibited by text-books :
FRENCH-Junior Class: Edgren's Grammar; Smith's Bregy's Conversation; Les Petits Oiseaux, Labiche et Delacour; Contes et Nouvelles, Guy de Maupassant; Le Mari dP. Madame de Solange, Souvestre; Le Mare au Diable, George Sand.

Para//e/-Sesenheim, Goethe; Bilderbuch ohne Bilder, Anderson; Der Geisterseher, ~chiller; English versions of Lessing's Nathan der Weise and Goethe's \Vahrheil und Dichtung. Public lectures on Lessing and Goethe.
Se,·eral lectures are delivered in each department on genesis and history of the language. Nouveau Cours de Granznzaire .francaise, par Brachet et Dessouchet, and Die dezdsclte Spraclte, von Behagel, are used for reference.
Examination requirements make parallel reading as much a part of the course as any class work. The College library, besides containing much French and German literature, also regularly supplies students of this school with Le Figaro, Daheim, Jl,fodern Language Notes, and copies of other similar periodicals.
VI. School of Physics.
Professor T,Vinston.
The School of Physics embraces the several subjects usually grouped under this title, or under the practically equivalent name, Natural Philosophy. These include: The General Properties of Matter; Mechanics proper, or the cardinal doctrines of Force, Equilibrium, Motion and Energy, in their various kinds, their relations to the several states of matter, and their practical applications; the phenomena and laws 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 Physic:o, or Astronomy. ·
Rich1,1011dCollegr.
The method of instruction is by text-books, and by lectures for the most part referring to the text, with daily examinations upon both text and lecture, and written exercises required weekly.
The new and excellent suite of rooms recently prepared for this department adds greatly to its comfort and efficiency, and renders possible the proposed large increase of Laboratory work to be done by students.
The JUNIOR Class, known also as the class in Experimental Physics, begins with the elements, and pursues the course ,,·ith the aid of abundant experiments and illustrations, and with continual reference to practical applications. The effort is made to combine in a course of modern Physics the freshness and attractiveness of an experimental and practical treatment, with the rigorous accuracy, the scientific method, and the exact discipline which may form the basis for future scientific work. It is required, for admission to this dass, that the student shall have some acquaintance with Elementary Algebra and Plane Geometry, equivalent to the completion of the <:ourse in the first section of the junior class in Mathematic::;.
Text-books: Appleton's New Physics (18()]), or Gage's Physics, and Young's Elements of Astronomy, with others for reference.
In the SENIOR class the subjects mentioned above are again taken up in proper order, and are studied as completely as possible from the vantage ground of the knowledge already gained in the Junior Class, and with the additional aid to be found in the free use of mathematical principles. An acquaintance with advanced Mathematics, equivalent to the completion of the Intermediate Class, is necessary for admission to this class.
Text-books: Alfred Daniel's Principles ol Natural Philosophy, Anthony and Brackett's Physics, and Newcomb and Holden's Astronomy, with others for reference.
VII. School o f Chemistr y.
Professor P1t1J'ear.
The lectures in this School begin with the discussion of the physi<:al properties of the atmosphere. The following subjects are then treated in the order named : Heat and Electricity in their relations to Ch emistry; Chemical Philosophy and Notation; Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, with their applications to Heating, Lighting,
Mineralogy, Metallurgy, Toxicology, Agriculture, and Physiology; Geology.
During the entire course constant reference is had to the application of chemical facts and principles to agriculture, and a part of the instruction of this school is devoted exclusively to thi object. The sources of the organic and inorganic food of plants, the formation and constitution of soils, drainage, putrescent and commercial fertilizers, the rotation of crops, the feeding of stock, and similar topics arc fuly considered. The course is taught principally by lectures, ancl is abundantly illustrated by experiments.
Text-boo!.·s: Youman's New Chemistry; Roscoe's Lessons in Chemistry; Norton's Scientific Agriculture; Dana's Text-Book of Geology.
VIII. School of Philosophy.
Pro.fessoi' T lwmas.
The subjects assigned to this School are divided bet\\'een two classes, and students arc earnestly ad,·ised to arrange their course so as to take them in successive sessions. A mastery of the subjects studied in the Junior is important as a preparation for the Senior, and absolutely essential to obtaining a diploma of graduation in the school.
The JUNIOR Class studies Psychology and Logic.
In the former the aim is to teach the subject as a science, and reserve, as far as practicable, for the Senior year questions of Speculative Philosophy. The differences bet\\'een the Old and the l\Iodern Psychology are carefully noticed, and special attention is given to nervous changes as connected with mental phenomena. Pains will be taken also to show the bearing of psychological facts and principles upon self-culture ancl the science of education.
Logic, including both the Deductive and the Inductive, is studied as extensively and as thoroughly as the time at command will allow.
The SENIOR Class is occupied with the History of Philosophy and the principles of Ethics and Political Economy.
In the first the aim is to trace the general course of philosophic thought, to mark the characteristic doctrines of the distinctive schools, ancient and modern, and to examine critically the more important doctrines of the most influential representatives of some of these schools with special attention to questions now at issue.
Richmond College.
Much time is devoted to Ethics, theoretical and practical. Among the matters receiving particular attention may be mentiuned the different modes of investigation which have been pursued, the more important ethical theories which have been advanced, the progress of ethical thought, and the value of the Christian ethics.
Less time can be given to the study of Political Economy, but enough to gain a good knowledge of the elements of this valuable science.
IX. School of Law.
Prefessor Gregory.
This School, established in 1870 and coHtinued 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 wellselected libraries-law and miscellaneous-of the State and the College.
The school is organized to provide for the student a complete course in the general principles of the law and their applications, To this end are taught the following subjects, to wit : The Common Law, Statute Law, Criminal Law, Commercial Law, Equity Jurisprudence, International Law, Constitutional Law.
The school is divided into two classes, with the following TEXT-BOOKS.
Junior Class: Blackstone's Commentaries, Minor's Institutes of Common and Statute Law (Vol. I), Smith on Contracts, Minor's Synopsis of Criminal Law, Vattel's Law of Nations, The Federalist.
Senior Class: Minor's Institutes of Common and Statute Law (Vols. II and IV), Smith's Mercantile Law, Greenleaf's Evidence (Vol. I), Adams' Equity. For Reference: Code of Virginia, 1887, and Revised Statutes of the United States (second edition, 1878) and supplements.
The instruction is thorough, and is given through text-books and lectures, with daily oral examinations. The course is designed for two sessions, and the student is advised to devote that time to it. But he may receive the degree of Bachelor of Law in one session if he attain a competent knowledge of all the subjects taught in the school, tested by the regular examinations.
Courses of Instruction.
Certificates of Proficiency are conferred upon those who attain a sufficient knowledge of International and Constitutional Law to entitle them thereto; and when 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 law students on classes in the academic department, and by academic students on those of the law course.
Tuition fee for either one of the classes, $40; for both of them, s,o.
The cost of all the text-books needed for the entire course is about SG5.
Expression.
L. R. Hamberlin, B. A., Instructor.
All the work done under this head is for one end-effectiveness in delivery of speech.
Briefly stated, the work is as follows:
1. Exercises for developing repose, grace, and strength of pantomime ; openness of throat; correct breathing and lung-power ; freedom, purity, modulation, and volume of tone.
2. Intelligent comprehension of an author's meaning, so that his thought may be correctly phrased and emphasized.
3. Cultivation of the imagination, to give emotional coloring to exp ression.
4. Practical delivery of all styles of thought.
The principles of the science and art of expression (taken from Hamill, Curry, Shoemaker, Shaftsbury, Shakespeare, Delsarte, and Nature) are delivered to the class by lecture.
Special Reference Books: Curry's Classics for Vocal Expression, and Shakespeare. ·
Fee for this school $12 per session for students; $20 for any not regularly matriculated.
Monthly Reports.
As may be seen from the foregoing statement, instruction is conveyed by the use of approved text-books, supplemented by oral explanations and additions, and in some cases by more formal lectures. In every case the student is questioned on the assigned portion of the text or the previous lecture. An account of the value of his recitations and exercises is kept by the professor, and the ayeragc standing for each 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 absences of the student from his classes, and such other information as may be deemed important. By the prompt and judicious attention of those to "·horn they are addressed, these reports may be made of great value 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, however, 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 with an oral review of the whole 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, he is ranked in the first division; if to less than eighty but not less
Repo,·ts and A1cards.
27 than fifty per centum, in the second division; if to less than fifty, in the third division.
Certificates of Distinction are awarded to all who attain the first division at either 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 botlt examinations, in Junior or Intermediate Classes.
Certificates of Pro.ficintCJ' 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.
Sc/tool Diplomas are conferred on all who attain the first division in t he leading subjects taught in each School, to wit : Latin Language a nd Literature and Roman History; Greek Language, History, and Literature; two Modern Languages; English Language and Literature; Mathematics; Physics; Chemistry; Philosophy; La\\·.

Session.
The next session opens on Thursday the :2:2d of September, and continues thirty-nine 11·ccks-that is, to the corresponding Thursday i11 J unc. The exercises arc suspended three clays at Christmas. Student,; arc c:1rnc,;tly ach·isccl lo enter promptly at the opening, when all classes arc organized and begin regular work. Any who come later 11·illbe received, proviclccl they arc prepared to join the classes alreach- formed.
Selection of Studies.
The system o( independent schools allows the selection for every student of such studies as 1rill be most valuable in qualifying him for his future pursuits ; but 1rhile allowing such selection, the Faculty hold that the inan is more than the occupation, and will ahrnys encourage a regular and complete course. To this end they reserve the right to prescribe the studies of any who may be found unprepared for classe.-;higher than the Junior in Latin, English, and Mathematics.
Every one is required to attend at least three schools, and to adhere throughout the sess:on to the studies selected on his matriculation, unless the Faculty, fur satisfactory reasons, allm1· him to attend a less number, or make an exchange.
Students arc assigned to the several classes in a school according to their app:irent attainments; but the professor will, at any time, transfer a student to a higher or lower class, when, in his judgment, such a change is desirable.
Matriculation.
El'ery applicant for admission upon his arrival at the College will report promptly to the Chairman of the Faculty. If he has been a student at another incorporated institution he must present satisfactory evidence of general good conduct while there. vVhen his course of study has been arranged, and he has duly subscribed to the regulations, he 11·illreccil'e a permit to matriculate, upon the

presentation of which to the Treasurer and payn1ent of the required fees, his name will be placed on the rolls.
There is no formal entrance examination, but care is taken to ascertain informally whether or not the applicant is prepared by previous training to profit by collegiate instruction, and if he should be unprepared, as soon as the fact is ascertained, his matriculation is estopped or cancelled.
Expenses.
Entrance Fees.-Matriculation, public rooms, attendance, &c., $18.50. Room-rent for a single room, occupied by two students, $5 each; for a pair of rooms, occupied by two students, $7.50 each. A non-resident student is generally assigned, without charge for rent, to a room already occupied by two resident students. These fees are payable on matriculation, not subject to deduction, nor in any case refunded.
Tuition.-In one school, $50; in two, $GO; in three, $70; in four or more, $20 for each. These fees are payable one-half on entrance, the balance Gth of February, subject to deduction for time lost by late entrance or by sickness, if the time so lost be one-fourth or more of the whole session, but not subject to deduction for other cause or for less time.
Fuel is furnished at cost from a supply laid up in summer, or gotten directly from dealers, as students may prefer. The average cost is about $7. 50 a session.
Lights and Was/zing cost from $1.25 to $1.50 a month.
Board.-Excellent board is furnished at the Mess Hall at a cost of $9.-50per;month. The messing club controls its own bill of fare and shares the expenses:equally, requiring a deposit monthly in advance. The plan was introduced in 1866, and has been in successful operation ever since.
Near the College are three or four boarding-houses which furnish good tables at from $10 to $12 a month, and still others in which students can get also furnished rooms, with fuel and light, for about $15 a month.

Refundable Deposits.-Resident students are required to deposit \\'ith the Treasurer $5, ancl non-residents $2.50, to cover any damage to College property or Library fines. At the close of the session this money, or such portion as the depositor may be entitled to, is returned.
Non-resident students, if assigned to a room for study during the clay, will pay $2.50 on account of fuel. This is collected hy the Treasurer and paid over to the occupants of the room.
All students are earnestly requested not to keep money about their persons or in their rooms, but to deposit it for safe-keeping with the Treasurer, subject to demand at any time.
Furniture.-The occupants of each dormitory supply the necessary furniture. If the bedding, towels, &c., be brought from home, the outlay for furniture need not exceed $G apiece, and the articles bought here can readily be sold again when the student leaves College.
Candidates for the Ministry.
Ministers of the Gospel, of all denominations, and young men duly approved by their churches as candidates for the ministry, are admitted free of charge for tuition or room rent. They pay an entrance fee of $13.i'i0, ancl for fuel, lights, board, &c., the same with other students.
The Education Board of the Virginia Baptist General Association \\'ill render further assistance to \\·orthy young men recommended by churches which contribute to the Board, and accepted after examination. For information on this matter, address Hon. J. T. Ellyson, Corresponding Secretary, Richmond, Va.
The Trustees have an in\·csted fund, the income from which is devoted to the assistance of young men 11'110have proved themscll-es worthy, or who may be properly recommended, but who arc not financially able to pay all College charges. These funds are di\·idcd into Scholarships and Donations.
The scholarships pay tuition ; the donations pay board. ff the amount given is sufficient to bring in the requisite re\·enue, tuition, board, and other expenses may be met according to the wishes of the donor. These funds ha\'e been furnished by the following persons and for the foll011·ing purposes, to 11·it:

40 Ril'hmoncl Collrgc.
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 awards will be at all times subject to revision by the Trustees, who reserve the right to withdraw the privilege on account of neglect of duty, serious misconduct, or failure to maintain an average standing of at least seventy-five per cent. in three schools.
These Aid Funds are awarded annually by a committee of the Trustees, which meets on the first clay of July, and of which Rev. C. H. Ryland, D. D., is secretary.
The need of ample endowment is every year more apparent. The College has passed the line of venture, and, by reason of its admirable location, thorough safety, and conservative management, is in condition to give the amplest security for the prompt and effective use of all gifts. No institution affords a better field for investment by those who wish to promote high, Christian education.
'Ihe Williams Gift.
The latest large gift to the endowment of the College was $25,000 from Mrs. Ella P. Williams, Mrs. Sue Williams Buek, Miss Mary T. Williams, and Messrs. Thomas C. Williams, Jr., and Adolph D. Williams, the widow and children of the late Thomas C. Williams, to found the "The T. C. Williams Professorship of Law," 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 endowment must always be the '' Bostwick Fund,'' so named from the liberality of Mr. J. A. Bostwick, of New York, who, within recent years, has given the College bonds and stocks whose face value is $51,200. The income from the
investment has proved a great relief to the necessities of the College. Mr. Bostwick, as a benefactor of the College, has by his unexampled generosity endeared himself to 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 e11dowment used for the pay of Professors ; the endowment of Schools, increase of Aid Funds, and the better equipment of the Library and Museum, the particulars of which will be given in another form upon application. The need for this work is urgent, and the friends of the College are confidently appealed to for active help and generous giving in order to insure success.
The Financial Secretary, Rev. C. H. Ryland, has charge of all matters pertaining to the collection, preservation, and increase of the funds of the College. All communications on this subject should be addressed to him, and will be treated as confidential when desired.
