II . This act sha ll be in force from its passage.
The
E17dowment.
Attention is called to the conservative financial management of Richmond College and the consequent safe foundation upon which it rests. Its real estate is without encumbrance. No bequests have been lost. Special trusts have been carefully protected.
Those who are disposed to help its educational life may find in these facts encouragement to give liberally of their means. The college is undoubtedly in the very best condition to guarantee security and to render all trust funds immediately effective. Appeal is made especially for the strengthening of the general endowment. This fund is used directly for the support of teachers, and is not sufficient for the ordinary demands of the Institution. The endowment of separate schools, or undesignated gifts which shall increase the general fund, are greatly desired.
The Trustees are anxious to enlarge the scientific equipment, to endow the new department of History and Literature, to provide for a department of Expression, to establish several Instructorships, to found Fellowships, and to increase their Aid Funds for meritorious students. The day has come when demands are pressing for broad and generous equipment on every line of college work. The field of choice for givers is wide, and everyone who is blessed of God with means should seriously consider how His cause may be best promoted through Christian Education. There is nothing more enduring than the well-endowed college, and names linked with it will never die.
Bequests.
There are many reason why friends of education should bestow their gifts during their lifetime. But since it is not always possible for intending benefactors to withdraw from their business such sums as they would like to give, it is respectfully suggested that one of the best ways to help a college is through the form of bequests. Many friends of Richmond College should at once arrange to make a bequest to the Institution. In this way the future growth and usefulness of the College can be fully assured.
Form of Bequest.
" I give and devise to Richmond College, located at Richmond, Virginia, the following real estate, to-wit (here describe thr sai<l rool estate, as to lcind, quctntity, and sit11,r1tion).
" I also give and bequeath to the said College the sum of dollars ($ ...... ), and the following bonds (or stocks), to-wit (here describe the bonds or stoolcs), all of which are to be used for the following purposes, to-wit (71Prl' de8orib e the pm·posc for 10llich it shall be applied)."

0£ Interest to New Students.
ew students who inform the President of the hour of their expected arrival in Richmond, will be met at train on September 20th or 2 rst by a member of the College Y. M. C. A., wearing the College colors, crimson and blue.
Students usually furnish their own rooms. The articles brought from home are one pillow and cases, one quilt, one pair blankets, sheets, towels, and toilet articles.
Rooms will be assigned whenever application is made. The best are usually engag.ed before opening of the session. A committee from the College Y. M. C. A. will be in the President's office to assist new students in the selection of rooms, room-mates, and to show them other courtesies.
Matriculation begins on Wednesday, September 20th. On Thursday evening the students are publicly welcomed by representatives of the city and the College. After this meeting, a reception, at which refreshments are served, is tendered the new students by the College Y. M. C. A.
College classes are organized on Friday.
Interesting reunion exercises are held by the Literary Societies on Friday and Saturday evenings.
GenetTa1 Statements.
Richmond College undertakes to provide instruction as broad and thorough as can be had in any purely secular institution, and, in addition, to surround the student with influences most conducive to the development of Christian character. I ts tests of scholarship are rigid and the standard of graduation is unusually high, while the physical, social, and religious welfare of its students is regarded as no less important.
Location.
The founders of the College showed rare wisdom and foresight in selecting a location for their Institution. Richmond is not only the capital of Virginia, but is the best known city in the South, and one of the historic cities of the world. Enduring memorials of American heroes constantly teach lessons of patriotism and inspire the young with noble ideals. The busy city, with its varied manufactories and extensive commerce, reminds the student that the modern scholar must be practical as . well as learned.
Richmond is also a city of religious influences, and its able and eloquent pulpit is an efficient aid to culture . The temptations to young men away from home are but little greater than in a village, and are counteracted by better police regulations and by the wholesome moral tone of an exceptionally religious city. Life on the campus is exceptionally free from temptation. In no other community of similar size, except at some other Christian colleges, will there be found so large a propor-
Richmond College.
tion of active Christians, or such strong and pervasive moral and religious influences.
Richmond lies midway between the severe cold of the 1 orth and the relaxing heat of the South. The nine months of the scholastic year have few days either too cold or too 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 tidewater and from the pulmonary and enteric diseases of the mountain region. For thirty years there have been but few serious cases of sickness-none that could be ascribed to local causes. During the session of 1898-'99 the health of students and professors was excellent. There was occasion only once to use the infirmary rooms.
Grounds and Buildings.
The College buildings stand in a beautiful park of thirteen acres, situated in the western and most elevated part of the city. This is the residence section, and abounds in homes of wealth and culture. These natural advantages have been supplemented by municipal improvements, including gas and electric lights, a water supply, and a thorough system of drainage. The sanitary arrangements are first class in every respect. Thus health, comfort, and means of recreation in open-air exercises, with sufficient seclusion to promote study, have been provided for and will receive constant attention.
The main building stands near the middle of the campus, and from it the surface slopes gently down on every side to the encompassing streets. The north wing, 46xro4 feet, is devote ·d mainly to dormitories, r8x14 feet, high pitched, well lighted, and ventilated by open fire-places. The centre building, r rox42 feet,
General Statements.
33 contains on first floor a chapel with seating capacity of eight hundred, reduced for ordinary use by movable partitions to two hundred and fifty; on second floor, lecture-rooms, well furnished with blackboards, maps, charts, and other appliances; and on the third floor three handsomely furnished halls, 3ox40 feet, for the College societies. The south wing contains a Library Hall dedicated to the memory of Dr. J. B. Jeter, and on the second floor a spacious and elegantly furnished Museum and Art -Gallery, a memorial to James Thomas , Jr. All these public halls are heated by steam.
Directly in the rear of the main building is a Dining Hall, with all needful appliances, and a Gymnasium and Bath-Room under the same roof. On one side of this, and in the same line, making a row parallel to Lombardy street, is a cottage for students, with rooms arranged in pairs, study and chamber, each 9x14; also , two residences of professors. On the other side are three such residences. Thus the students are brought all the time within the personal influence of at least five professors and their families, and the social, religious, and literary life of the College is very greatly promoted.
New Buildings.
During the past year there has been erected on the Franklin-street front of the campus a handsome brick building, with granite trimmings, known as Science Hall. This structure measures 12ox5 I feet, and is four stories high. The well-lighted basement story contains boilers for heating three buildings with steam; also several shops, and storage-rooms. The twenty-seven rooms above the basement are all devoted to instruction in natural sciences. There are three laboratories for chemistry, a balance-room, library-room, and ample 3
34
Richmond College.
space for cabinets, apparatus, etc. The first year laboratory accommodates sixty students at one time. The iecond year laboratory has room for twenty-four. The lecture-room has terraced seats arranged in semi-circles, with places for one hundred and twenty-five students.
The arrangements in the department of physics are similar to those made for chemistry, each school occupying an entire floor. Rooms are provided for instruction in Biology, but ~he department is not yet equipped. All lecture-rooms and laboratories are ventilated by the most improved system. The entire building is supplied in every part with water, gas, and electricity. No trouble has been spared to make this hall one of the best of modern buildings for the purpose of teaching laboratory sciences.
There is in process of erection on the Broad-street front of the campus a dormitory building similar in size to Science Hall. Besides a large memorial-room, the dormitory contains sixty-two lodging-rooms. Some of these rooms are for one occupant, some for two, and some are double, two connecting rooms being together designed for two occupants. Sixteen rooms are heated by hot water; the others are supplied with open grates for burning coal.
Organization.
The College is composed of nine academic schools, or departments, and the professional school of Law. Instruction is also given in Expression, Biblical Literature, and Physical Culture. The Faculty consists of a president and nine professors, each responsible for the efficient conduct of his own school. The president has general oversight and direction of the discipline of the College, but refers to the Faculty cases cailing for serious penalty.
The system of schools has many advantages. Among them the following deserve attention: The professor feels the full force both of individual duty and personal ambition; the course of instruction can readily be 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 system favors the utmost thoroughness of culture, and the requirements fixed for graduation lend unity to the whole; 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 are prescribed, 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.

R.eligio n .
Students have easy access to all the advantages afforded by the various city churches with their Bible classes and Sunday schools. Those who are professors of religion may bring with them letters of commendation, and without severing their ecclesiastical connections at home, attach themselves while here to some church, so as to have a church home, with the sympathy and care of a pastor. The daily duties of the College are opened with brief devotional exercises, conducted by the president and attended by professors. Prayermeetings, 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.
Coorrses of Instrruetion.
1.-School of Latin Language and Literature.
Professo1· Mitchell.
[During '98-'9 Acting Professor Downer.]
The course of study, embracing four years, 1s indicated by the text-books used in the several classes. Students entering the school will be classed according to their preparation. For the lowest class there is required such acquaintance with the elements of Latin grammar as will enable one to begin to translate with profit.
The SuB-JUNIOR and JUNIOR Classes are persistently drilled in the forms and the syntax of the language, with due attention to quantity. The INTERMEDIATEand 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. The disciplinary power and cultural value of the study of Latin are equally emphasized.
TEXT-BOOKS.
S11b-Junior.-Nepos (Lindsay's or Rolfe's edition); Cresar's Gallic War (Kelsey's edition); Allen and Greenough's Shorter Latin Grammar.
Junior.-Sallust's Jugurtha or Catilina; Cicero's Oracions and Letters (Kelsey's edition); Vergil's lEneid (Ginn's edition); Cresar's Civil War (Montgomery's edition); Gildersleeve's Latin Grammar (last edition).
Richmond Colleg e.
Intermediate.-Livy; Horace; Cicero de Senectute et de Amioitia; The Agricola or Germania of Tacitus; Plautus' Captivi; Gildersleeve's Grammar (last edition); assigned portions ot Cicero's works for private reading.

11.- S c hool of Gree k Lan g ua g e and Literature . Profe~s01·Rellogg.
The aim of this School is threefold: (I) to enable the student, by the mastery of vocabulary, inflections, syntax, and idiom, to read Greek with accuracy and readiness; (2) to give a clear insight into the life, genius, and achievements of the Greeks; (3) to cultivate habits of accurate expression, and a sense for Greek literary standards.
The plan of instruction is as follows:
The SuB-JUNIOR CLASSbegins with the alphabet, and. with daily exercises and frequent reviews, is occupied mainly in mastering inflections and vocabulary, including principal parts of verbs, and in acquiring the ability to read simple Greek prose. The Anabasis is begun in the Spring.
In the JUNIOR CLASS Xenophon's Anabasis is reacl. and upon this is based drill in pronunciation, inflections. syntax, composition, vocabulary, idioms, and verbs. To this is added translation at sight and hearing, and incidental study of phases of Greek life suggested by the Ana basis.
The INTERMEDIATECLASSreads: (1) Homer; (2) lyric poets; (3) historians.. This is accompanied by syste-
matic composition work, and by study of (r) Homeric criticism and dialect; (2) pre-Attic Greek literature; and (3) Greek life. The course on the History of Greece in the School of History, or a fair equivalent, must precede entrance to the Intermediate Class in Greek.
The SENIOR CLASS reads: (r) Attic orators; (2) dramatists; (3) Plato, accompanied by a study of Attic literature, political institutions, advanced composition, and individual investigation of assigned topics from Greek history, customs, and literature. Parallel reading in English is ,required, especially in the two higher classes.
A class in the GREEK NEW TESTAMENTis open to graduates and members of the Senior, Intermediate, and Junior Classes. Special investigation in this class will be accepted in place of like work in the Senior class.
TEXT-BOOKS.
Sub-Junior.-White's First Greek Book; Colson's First Greek Reader; Harper & Wallace's Xenophon's Anabasis; Goodwin's Greek Grammar; Pearson's Greek Prose Composition.
Junior.-Anabasis, Grammar, and Composition as above.

111.-School of Modern Languages. Professo1· Boatwl'igltt. Dr. 1Voods.
French and German are the languages taught. The aim is to give the student a knowledge of vocabulary and gr<}mmatical structure sufficient to enable him to read their literature with understanding and pleasure. Secondarily, to teach him to speak these languages, and to understand them when spoken. In junior classes, modern authors are read, and language is taught as an art. In senior classes, more attention is paid to the classics and to the scientific study of language structure. Much time is devoted to Literature and History. The course is varied from year to year in order that advantage may be taken of the latest and best helps in this department of study. The following text-books were used during the past session:
FRENCrr-Junior Class.-Sym's First Year in French; Edgren's Grammar; Joynes' Contes de Fees; Un Cas de Conscience, Gervais; L'Expedition de la Jeune-Hardie, Jules Verne; Le Voyage de M. Perrichon, Labiche and Martin; L'Abbe Constantin, Halevy; Le Cid, Corneille; French Composition, Grandgent. Dictation Jj]xercises.
Senior Olass.-Edgren's Grammar; Grandgent's Composition; Colomba, by Merimee; Lyrics from Beranger, Lamartine, Hugo, De Musset and Gautier; Merimee's Colomba; Les Precieuses Ridicules and L' Avare, by Moliere; Polyeucte, by Corneille; Hernani, by Victor Hugo; Wilkinson's Classic French Course in English; Lectures on French Literature in XVII. Century.
Parallel.-Life and Works of Victor Hugo; Reading of Lyrics, Hernani, and Les Miserables.
GERMAN-Junior Glass.-First Lesson in German, by Harris; Original Letters; Andersen's Bilderbuch ohne Bilder; Heyse's L'Arrabiata; Schiller's Neffe als Onkel; Storm's Immensee; Schiller's Wilhelm Tell; Exercises based on Immensee.

Hermann und Dorothea; Lyrics from Goethe, Schiller, Platen, and others; Hosmer's History of German Literature; Lectures on German Literature.
Parallel.-Life and Works of Heine; Reading of Lyrics, Harzreise, and Reisebilder.
Examination requirements in the senior course place the work known as "Parallel" on an equal footing with class-work. Students often find it advantageous to do all or a part of this work during the summer vacation. The parallel reading for 1899-1900 will be as follows:
Senior French.-Life and Works of Corneille; Reading of Polyeucte and Horace.
Senior German.-Life of Schiller; Reading of Maria Stuart and Ballads.
Applicants for admission to senior classes are expected to have completed the full equivalent of the College junior courses. Knowledge of grammatical forms and familiarity with irregular verbs will be required. Previous drill in conversation is also very desirable. The College library, besides containing much French and German literature, regularly supplies students of this School with foreign periodicals and other modern language publications.
IV, - School of English Language. Professor Pollard.
The objects of this school are: ( 1) to give the student a mastery of the English language in speaking and writing; (2) to give a scholastic acquaintance with the native speech; and (3) to make the English tongue a means of leading the student on to a creditable knowledge 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
Riclimond (.ollege.
etymology and grammatical analysis; in the second half session Rhetoric, with a particular reference to clear and forcible expression in speaking and writing.
The SENIOR CLASS studies during the first half session Anglo-Saxon and Early English, and traces the growth of our language from its earliest stage to its present forms and constructions; during the second half session this class studies the general principles of linguistic science, and notes the relation of the native tongue to other languages.
In both classes written exercises are required. Students are earnestly advised to take the whole English course. But if any insist on omitting the lower class, they must show by examination, or otherwise, that they are prepared for the more advanced work.
OUTLINE OF THE COURSE.
Junior oiass.-Baskervill & Sewell's English Grammar; Newcomer's Elements of Rhetoric; Lectures by the professor on subjects related to those studied by text-book.
Senior Class.-Emerson's History of the English Language; Smith's orn English; Corson's Chaucer; Linguistics-lectures by the professor.
Reference Books: Peile's Philology; Whitney's Life and Growth of Language; Skeat's Etymological Dictionary; other Dictionaries-Webster, Worcester, Stormonth, Century, Standard, and books in College Library as occasion arises.
V.-School of Mathematics. P1·ofe8so1·Gaine8.
Mr. Scott.
[During 1899-1900Acting P.rofessm· Duke.]
This school offers _ a course of pure Mathematics extending over four years, or divided into four classes. The work of the lowest class pre-supposes a thorough knowledge of Arithmetic and of Elementary Algebra through simple Equations.
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 t6 continue his studies in the graduate courses offered in the leading Universities of America.
Sub-Jimior.-Algebra through Quadratic Equations and Plane Geometry. Text-Books: Hall and Knight's Elementary Algebra; Chauvenet's Geometry.
Junior.-Algebra, beginning with Quadratic Equations; Solid Geometry; Plane Trigonometry. 'l'e:ct-Books: C. Smith's Algebra; Chauvenet's Geometry; Wentworth's Trigonometry
Intennediate.-Conic Sections, including the methods of trilinear and tangential co-ordinates, and Theory of Equations, including Determinants. Text-Books: C. Smith's Conic Sections; Lectures on Theory of Equation; for reference, Burnside and Pantom.
Senior.-Differential Calculus, with applications to the expansion of functions in infinite series, the evaluation of indeterminate forms, the theory of maxima and minima, tangents and normals, asymptotes, contact and curvature , evolutes and involutes, singular points, curve tracing and envelopes. (2) Integral Calculus, with applications to the determination of lengths and areas of curves, areas of surfaces, volumes of solids, to questions of
Rickmond CoLlege.
mean value and to problems in mechanics. (3) An introductory course in Differential Equations or in the Algebra of Quantics, with applications of the theory of invariants to analytical geometry. 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-Bool,s: McMahon and Snyder's Differential Calculus; Murray's Integral Calculus. The last part of the course is given wholly by means of lectures.
The subject of Land Surveying is taught in an additional class, open to students who have finished the junior cl~ss. Much of the time devoted to this class is spent in the field, thus giving the student familiarity with the instruments used and considerable practice in doing the field work. Te:vt-Books: Gi1lespie's Land Surveying.
VI.-School of Physics.
Profes8or lVin.,ton.
The School of Physics embraces the several subjects usually grouped under this title, or under the practicallyequivalent 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, Light, Heat, Magnetism, and Electricity; 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, with daily examinations both upon text and lecture, and frequent exercises. To these will be added, beginning with the next session, full apd systematic courses of laboratory instruction, for which the rooms and outfit of the new " Science Hall '' will give the amplest facilities.
The JUNIOR CLASS,known also as the class in Experimental Physics, begins with the elements, and pursues the course with the aid of abundant experiments and illustrations, both in the lecture-room and in the laboratory, 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 class that the student shall have an acquaintance with Elementary Algebra, and Plane Geometry, equivalent to the completion of the course in the Sub-Junior Class of Mathematics.
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 gained in the Junior Class, and with the additiona l aid to be found in the free use of mathematical principles. A more advanced course of Laboratory work will also be given. An acquaintance with advanced Mathematics, equivalent to the completion of the Intermediate Class, is necessary for admission to this class.
TEXT-UOOKS.
Junior.-Gage's Principles of Physics and Young's Elements of Astronomy, with others for reference. A Manual for Laboratory work will be announced later.
Senior.-Carhart's University Physics, with reference to Barker's Advanced Physics, Daniell's Physics, Anthony and Brackett's Physics, and Young's General Astronomy. The Laboratory Manual to be used will be announced later.
VII.-School of Chemistry. Professor Hunter.
In the study of the subjects embraced in this School, two distinct but entirely compatible objects are kept in

view. The first is to familiarize the student with th e more common and important substances found in nature both organic and inorganic, their characteristics, th e changes in properties always attending their combina tions and decompositions, and the definite and invariable. laws and conditions under ,Yhich each of these change :, occur.
The second object is to cultivate the power and habit of patient and critical observation, to develop facility and skill in detecting resemblances and differences, and from data thus gathered to draw conclusions which are subsequently to be tested by experiment. In this \\'ay Oil acquires skill in classification and in inductive reason ing, and gains an accurate conception of what scienc e implies.
The course offered in this School is divided into tw o classes, each extending through the session of nin e months.
JUNIOR CLASS.-ln this class the general properties o f the elements, and the more common compounds formed. as well as the fundamental laws of the science of Chemistry are studied. For the most part, the elements ar e studied in groups, as suggested by the periodic system of Mendeleef. Facts concerning their occurrence and association in nature, as well as their preparation and properties, are presented and explained, accompanied by experimental illustrations in class . Constant referenc e is made to the more important application of chemical facts and principles to industrial arts.
During the latter part of the year a brief but compact course in Geology is given, special emphasis being laid on the dynamic agencies now at work on the surface of the earth as furnishing the key with which to unlock the earth's past history.
Lectures and laboratory work seven hours a week.
Courses of Instruction. 47
SENIOR CLAss.-In this class the object in view is to give a more complete knowledge of chemical phenomena and laws, and their practical applications, than is possible in the preceding class. Only students who have completed the work of the Junior Class or its equivalent will be allowed to enter this class. The study of analytical reactions and of analysis is given much attention during the year. A part of the laboratory work will be devoted to the preparation of typical compounds, both inorganic and organic. The subject of Organic Chemistry is taken up during the spring term, the aim being to give a general view of the subject, and to show the relation of the compounds of one series to those of another.
Lectures and laboratory work seven hours a week.
Junior Olass.-Remsen's Chemistry (Briefer Course); Dana's Revised Text-Book of Geology.
A number of reference books are provided oy the College.
VIII.-School of Philosophy.
Profeoso1· Tlwmas.
The subjects assigned to this School are divided among three classes. The Junior Class embraces Physiology, Psychology, and Ethics. The Intermediate Class studies Logic and the History of Philosophy. The Senior Class studies Political Economy and Sociology. A mastery of the subjects studied in the Junior Class is essential to obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Study of the subjects embraced in the higher classes is very important as a part of liberal education, and, though often overlooked, is of great practical value, both as to thought and conduct.
Richmond College.
In the JUNIOR CLASS the course of psychological development, as seen in its history, is briefly traced, and considerable attention given to the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. The subject will be pursued as a science, and according to scientific methods . In seeking to ascertain the results of Experimental, Comparative, and Child's Psychology, careful effort is made to discriminate between what is purely conjectural, possible, or probable, and what seems to be established Since, however, Psychology, like other sciences, brings us face to face with metaphysical problems, and the human mind cannot be restrained from such inquiries, no hesitation will be felt in discussing these· problems and in making clear to the class that the Professor, at least, is no believer in psychology without a soul.
Much time is devoted to Ethics, theoretical and practical. Among the matters receiving particular attention may be mentioned the different modes of investigation which have been pursued, the more important ethical theories which have been advaaced, the progress of ethical thought, and the value of Christian ethics.
In the INTERMEDIATECLASSLogic, deductive and inductive, is first studied as extensively and as thoroughly as the time at command will allow. The remaining portion of the session is devoted to History of Philosophy . The aim is to familiarize the student with clear conceptions of the problems of Philosophy, to trace the general course of Philosophic thought, to examine critically the more important teachings of Epoch-making Philosophies, with special attention to living issues of to-day .
The SENIOR CLASSstudies Political Economy and Sociology.
TEXT-BOOKS.
Jttnior azass.-Huxley's Physiology; Outlines of Descriptive Psychology-Ladd; References to Sully, James, Davis, and

others. Text-Books for Ethics will be announced in due time. Intermediate Class.-Problems of Philosophy-Hibben; References to Windelband and other writers on History of Philosophy.
Senior CZass.-Walker's Political Economy, with references to other writers on the subject. Text-Book on Sociology will be announced in due time.
IX. - History and Literature.
Prof essor Chandler.
History is taught with the desire of presenting an insight into the past, so that the mind may be disciplined for the judgment of the present. History is reg·ardecl as one stream, with Rome as the great reservoir, into which the best of Greece and the Orient was emptied, and from which, by many outlets, Europe has been supplied. Facts are studied to discover J?rinciples and to explain social phenomena, and the method of instruction is from cause to effect. History is viewed more especially from the standpoint of politics and economics, for history is properly the account of the evolution of social organization.
Literature is the record of man's thought, while History is the story of his thought applied, and the results produced by its application; therefore the study of History a.nd Literature go hand in hand. Frequently some literary monument, Beowulf, for instance, constitutes. the only reliable source from which we can judge of races in their early stage of development. Literature, therefore, will be emphasized as a necessary adjunct to History, and as a medium for interpreting the best in life, because it shows man's thought and feelings.
This School is divided into three classes, as follows:
1. GENERAL HrsTORY.-Ethnology will be outlined~ followed by a discussion of such topics as primitive man~ the beginnings of civilization, and the origin of civil
50 Richmond College. society. The civilization of the non-Aryan peoples will then be taken up, after which the history of Greece will be treated chiefly from the standpoint of politics, literature, and art. The main facts of Roman history will be noticed, but especially its wonderful system of jurisprudence, its social and economic problems, and such institutions as have influenced the political and religious life of Modern Europe. The history of Europe will be considered under the following heads: (I) Origin of European States; (2) Imperialism and the Papacy; (3) Feudalism; (4) Renaissance and the Reformalion; (5) French Revolution; and (6) Nationality and Democracy as realized in the Nineteenth Century. The last three months of the session will be devoted to the study of Politics.
2. ENGLISH AND AMERICAN H1sTORY.-A rapid glance will be given to the political history of England, but more time will be consumed in tracing the growth of the English Constitution in its successive stages, from the Magna Charta to the Reform Bills of this century. The close connection between English and American institutions will be emphasized. In American history the period of colonization will be briefly summarized, after which the course will deal entirely with United States history. Much attention will be paid to the historical geography of our country. American politics will receive a very full treatment, and a careful analysis of our Constitution and form of government will be made. This course will be of great help to those who intend to study law.
3. LITERATURE.-This course is devoted to English and American Literature. The history of literature and selections from the most important writers will be

slucliecl simultaneously, and every effort will be made to develop the critical faculties of lhe student. As far as possible, the comparative method will be used. The cour e in English Literature will deal briefly_ with the period from Alfred to Elizabeth, after which the lives and most important works of the chief _writers from Shakespeare to Austin will be considered. Only a summary will be made of American Literature, with selections from our best writers. Essay-writing will be emphasized, and much collateral reading will be assigned. Distinctions in Junior English, or an equivalent, will be required for admission to this class.

English Bible.
Dr. 'l'uppe1
The aim of this study is to give, in a two-years' cour se, knowledge, as thorough as practicable, of the Scriptu res as the inspired Word of Goel. The history, geograp hy, and literature of the Bible, with necessary exege sis, serve to throw light upon the sacred text and to disco ver the divine mind and spirit in this revelation. Intellig ent knowledge, by systematic effort, of the Maker and Ru ler of all, is essential to complete education, gives unit y to the different departments of human learning, and is due to Him "who lighteth every man that cometh into the
wo rld " The instruction is imparted by lectures, on w hich the student is examined during the course of st udy as well as at the close of each half session. The co ur se is adapted to students of all grades, with no reference to any particular profession in view. It is free to all matriculates of the College. The only text-book is the English Bible. " Coleman's Historical Text-Book of B iblical Geography" is important for reference. The Co lle ge Library furnishes valuable works for consultat ion.
Physical Culture.
J~!r. Williams.
Carefully-arranged cour s es in Physical Culture are offe red free of co s t to e v ery matriculate of the College. Du ring 1898-'99 two clas ses. were given daily exercises in the gymnasium and instructed in the principles of h y giene . Exercise in the g y mnasium is optional, but all students are urged to join one of the classes. Each stu dent, on entei-ing a class. is given a physical examinati on, in order that any lack of development may be note d and the proper ex ercise prescribed. At the close of t he session ' s work the measurements are again taken, and, on the basis of attendance and physical improvement combined, certificates are awarded.
H ot and cold baths are provided in rooms adjoining the gy mnasium, which are kept open, without charge, six <lays in the week. In the dressing-room are lockers, which are rented to students at 50 cents each. The spac ious campus affords ample opportunity for recreative ex ercise.

This School, established in 1870, and continued with slight interruption till 1882, was in 1890 firmly re-established. The location is eminent ly 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 well-selected libraries-law and miscellaneous-of the State and the College.
The design of the School is to provide for the student a complete course in the general principles of the AngloAmerican 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, Constitutional Law, International Law. There are two Classes in this School. The following schedule is an exhibit of the subjects and by whom taught in each class, and the text-books used for the basis of instruction.

But one, earnest and diligent, who has, before entering the School, become somewhat acquainted with the nomenclature of the law, may, by devoting the entire session of nine months to the study of the subjects embraced in the course, achieve the degree of Bachelor of Law in one session.
The hours for meeting the classes (between 4 P. M. and 7 P. M.) are chosen with the view of enabling the student (who desires it) to attend all the lectures in the course; also, to give an opportunity to law students wishing to take classes in the Academic Department of the College (and vice versa) to do so; and also to suit the convenience of young men in business who can only give a part of the clay to the study of la\\".
Certificates of Proficiency are conferred upon those who attain a sufficient knowledge of Criminal Law, of Evidence, or of Constitutional ancl International Law (the t\\"o last being required for one certificate) to entitle them thereto; and, when conferred, dispense with further study of those subjects to take the degree of Bachelor of Law. The lectures upon all other subjects than those for v,;hich Certificates of Proficiency have been conferred must be attended, and the examinations ( oral and written) thereon stood during the session the degree of B. L. is applied for.
To acquaint the student with the details of practice in the drawing of deeds, wills, and other instruments; the institution and maturing of suits at law and in equity; the preparation of pleadings; ancl the conduct of causes in court, a Moot Court is organized about the middle of the session, in which satisfactory work is expected to be done to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Law.

Literary Societies.
Two literary societies, known as the Mu SIGMARHo and PHILOLOGIAN,are maintained by the students, and a re recognized as agencies of great value in scholastic t raining . They are provided with elegant halls where t hey hold weekly meetings for declamation, debate, and o ther literary exercises. Besides the joint celebration a t Commencement, each society arranges for at least one public debate during the session. The two societies u nite in publishing the Messenger, a monthly magazine of about seventy-five pages. A generous rivalry is mainta ined between the two organizations by the joint offer of an orator's medal and a writer's medal; and among t he individual members by the offer in each society of a medal for improvement in debate and for the best debater. The medallists for 1898-'99 were as follows:

Geographical and Historical Society.
This Society was organized in 1891 for the purpose of cultivating more accurate acquaintance with the past and present of the land we live in, and particularly for developing the habit of investigation from original sources. Papers of great interest and permanent value have been produced and published by active members of the Society, and a number of distinguished gentlemen have accepted honorary membership and have favored the Society with addresses. Among those who have thus aided are Mr. R. A. Brock, Secretary of the Southern Historical Society; Dr. Daniel C. Gilman, President of Johns Hopkins University; Mr. Charles Poindexter , ex-State Librarian; Hon. J. L. M. Curry; Professor 0. T. Mason, of the Smithsonian Institution, and President Lyon G. Tyler, of William and Mary College. Trustees, professors, and students are equally entitled to membership, and all three classes are well represented. Meetings occur twice a month. During 1898-'99 the historical work of the Society was carried on under the auspices of a journal club, presided over by Professor Chandler.
Law Association.
During the session of 1895-'96 the Richmond College Law Association was organized by students of th e School of Law for the discussion of literary and lega l questions. Meetings are held once a week in the Philologian Hall.

The Association has charge of all prayer-meetings in Co11ege, and its members conduct s ervices or teach Bible classes at the City Almshouse, the Confederate Soldiers' Home, the Locomotive-Works, and at several mission stations in the suburbs. A pleasant feature of the work in College is the arrangement made for meeting new students upon their arrival, and showing them many needful courtesies.
Connected with the Association is a flourishing M1sSIONARYSocrnTY which meets twice a week for study of. the habits, customs, prevailing religions, and geography o f foreign countries. The Society owns an independent library.
Athletic Association.
Outdoor sports are fostered and encouraged at Richmond College. Details of management are entrusted to the Athletic Association. composed of students and p rofessors, but the President and Faculty exercise general control. The annual Field-Day contests are admirable incentives to physical culture.

6. Athletic teams are permitted to engage in contests away from Richmond only with teams from other institutions of learning.
Society of Alumni.
The Alumni of the College have long been organized into a Society which holds annual meetings to renew old associations, maintain a close connection with Alma Mater, and further the cause of education and letters. For several years the custom has been to have an annual banquet on Vvednesday evenings of Commencement week. The officers of the Society are:
ROBERT LEE TRAYLOR, Esq., Richmond, Va ............ President.
DR. H. H. LEVY, Richmond, Va First Vice-President.
E. E. REID, PH. D., Charleston, S. C........ Second Vice-President. J GARLAND POLLARD, Esq., Richmond, Va .. . Third Vice-President.

DR. J. PAGE MASSIE, Richmond, Va .................... Treasurer.
Student Organizations. 71
Degree men are members of the Society without election, and all former students are eligible for election. The initiation fee of $3 has been abolished, and an annual fee of $1 substituted therefor.
In May, 1898, there was organized in Louisville, a Chapter of the General Society of Alumni, which will be known as the " Kentucky Association of Richmond College Alumni.'' Twenty-nine alumni enrolled their names at the banquet given at the time of organization. Dr. S. E. Woody was chosen President, and Professor \V. 0. Carver was elected Secretary and Treasurer.
• In February, 1899, the alumni resident in Norfolk, Va., and vicinity organized a" Norfolk Chapter of Richmond College Alumni.'' At their first banquet twentyfive alumni enrolled their names as members of the chapter. Rev. E. B. Hatcher, Norfolk, was elected President, and C. W. Coleman, Esq., of Portsmouth, was elected Secretary and Treasurer.
The President of the College will be glad to correspond with alumni who desire to form local associations .
Honors and Degrees.
nonthly Reports.
Instruction is conveyed by the use of approved textbooks, supplemented by oral explanations and additions, in some cases by more formal lectures, and in most of the classes by exercises to be written and carefully corrected. In every class the student is questioned on the assigned portion of the text or the previous lecture. An account of the value of these recitations and exercises is kept by the Professor, and the average 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 whom 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 or more 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 con-
Honors and Degrees.
tained 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, ancl 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 this, but not less than fifty per centum, in the second division; if to less than fifty, in the third division. Only those students who attain rank in the first division, at both Final and Intermediate Examinations, are entitled to points in the estimates for degrees.
Certificates of Distinction are awarded to students who attain the first division at either examination, and their names are published or announced in the closing exercises of the session.
Certificates of Proficiency are conferred on all who attain the first division at all examinations in certain complete subjects of study, to-wit: In French, in German, in Surveying, in Experimental Physics, in Constitutional and International Law, in Criminal Law, and in Evidence.
School Diplomas are conferred on those who attain to the first division in the full course taught in each School, to-wit: Latin Language and Literature, Greek Language and Literature, French and German Languages and Literature, English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Philosophy, and History and Literature.

Information Concer9ing Entrance.
Session.
The session opens on the Thursday nearest to the 22d of September, and continues thirty-eight weeks. The next session, therefore, will open September 21, 1899, and close June 14, 1900. The exercises are suspended for one week at Christmas and may be suspended on two separate days in spring-" Historical Day," for an excursion to some place of special interest, and " Field Day," for competitive out-of -door sports.
Students are advised to be present at the opening of the session. This applies particularly to students who enter Junior or Sub-Junior classes. Students who are prepared for classes higher than Sub-Junior, and cannot enter in September, may enter with advantage at the opening of the spring term, February 6th. Students who show sufficient preparation are allowed to enter at any time.
Selection of Studies.
The system of Schools allows the selection by every student of such studies as will be most valuable in qualifying him for his future pursuits; but while allowing such selection, the College holds that the man is more than the occupation, and will always encourage a regular and complete course. To this encl the right is reserved to prescribe the studies of any who may be found unprepared for classes higher than the Junior in Latin, English, and Mathematics.
Every one is expected to attend at least three Schools, and to adhere throughout the session to the studies
Ric!tmond College.
selected on his matriculation. Students who desire tupursue special studies in one or more Schools should communicate with the President.
Students are assigned to the several classes in a School according to their apparent 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.
natriculation.
Every applicant for admission, upon arnvmg at the College, will report promptly to the President. If he has been a student at any other college, he must present satisfactory evidence of general good conduct while there. If he comes from an academy or high school, it is desirable that he should bring a testimonial from the principal or other teacher, showing what studies he has pursued and what progress he has made.
In case of reasonable doubt whether the applicant is prepared by his previous training to undertake collegiate work, the question will be decided by entrance examinations in any two that he may elect, or in all of the three Schools of English, Mathematics, and Latin. For entering the School of English the requirements are " a knowledge of Elementary English Grammar and ability to write with grammatical correctness "; for Mathematics, "a good knowledge of Arithmetic and Elementary Algebra through Simple Equations "; for Latin, " such acquaintance with the elements of Latin Grammar as will enable one to begin to translate with profit.'' If found well prepared in all these the applicant can enter either these Schools or others; if prepared on two of them but not on the third, he will be allowed tomatriculate, and will be aided in securing competent in-

Prompt payment of bills by the middle of every month is required.
A new boarding-hall was opened three years ago in 6
82 Richmond College.
which table-board was to be furnished at $7.50 a month. There has been no complaint of the fare, but, on the contrary, constant expressions of surprise that such abundant and appetizing food could be served at such a price Further improvements make the accommodations of this hall sufficient for seventy boarders.
Both of these halls are under the supervision and control of the President of the College
Near the College are three or four boarding-houses which furnish good table-board at from $10 to $12 a month, and still others in which students can get furnished rooms, with fuel and light, for about $16 a month.
At the request of the President , several families of culture and refinement, have consented to receive one or more students as boarders. Charges will be from $18 to $25 a month for furnished room with board and servant's attendance. This arrangement is especially commended to parents who desire their sons to be subject to refined home influences. Names and addresses of persons willing to receive boarders will be furnished on application.
Rooms .-Three classes of rooms are provided in College dormitories-First, rooms 14x I 8 feet, intended for two students. Each occupant of one of these rooms is charged a room fee of $5. Second, double, connecting rooms, each of the two apartments measuring 9x14 feet. The double rooms are designed for two students who sleep in one apartment and study in the other. Each of the occupants of a double room pays a fee of $7.50. There are a few rooms, of about 1ox15 feet, which are used for one student. The fee for these is $10.
The fees named above are for unfurnished rooms, and do not include heating or lighting. No deduction is made ' from the -room fee for any cause .
" Memorial Hall," the new dormitory now in process of construction, will contain twenty-four double rooms, ten single rooms for two students, and eig ht single rooms for one student. These rooms will be larger than corresponding rooms in the older dormitories. All rooms and hallways will be heated at college expense either with open grates or hot water. In " Memorial Hall" the charge for a double room, with heat, will be $40, or $20 to each of two occupants; for a single room to be occupied by two students $32, or $16 to each of two occupants; and for single rooms to be occupied by one student, $25. It is expected that" Memorial Hall " will be ready for use at the opening of the session.
The Pres;dent is authorized to provide ten rooms in " Memorial Hall" with all necessary furniture, except bed-clothing and toilet articles. The cost of a furnished room to each occupant will be the room fee plus $4. All fees for rooms cover the session of nine months.
If bed-clothing, towels, etc., be brought from home, the outlay for furniture need not exceed $ro or $12 for a room, and the articles bought here can readily be sold again when the student leaves college. A committee of the students' Young Men's Christian .Association will render any needed assistance in furnishing rooms comfortably and at small cost. Rooms on the campus are much sought after, and applications should be made early.
