University of Richmond is j Ltst a thirty-three minutes' ride from Broad Street Station, and but forty-five minutes from Ninth and Main Streets-the heart of the business section of Richmond.
Historical Sketch HE institution now known as Richmond College* developed out of "The Virginia Baptist Seminary," established in 1832, several miles northwest of the City of Richmond. The Seminary at first accepted only candidates for the ministry. Rev. Robert Ryland, the first President, was assisted by two instructors. The number of students the first year was fourteen. The small wooden buildings were bought with the piece of farm land and were sat is factory.
T
In 1833 the Seminary was removed to "Columbia," the Haxall homestead, just west of the city limits. In this eligible location the schoo l grew steadily. March 4, 1840, a charter was granted by the Legislature and the name was changed to "Richmond College." On account of inability to offer immediate adequate courses o.f instruction no degrees were conferred by the College until 1849. Between this elate and 1861, when classes were suspended on account of the war between the States, clegress were granted to sixty-eight young men. Dr. Robert Ryland continued as President until 1866. As a consequence of the war the College endowment was lost, the library destroyed, and the buildings all but wrecked. Nevertheless, the Trustees, encouraged by the gift of $5,000 for maintenance, by James Thomas, Jr. , elected Rev. Tiberius Gracchus Jones, D. D., as President, and reopened the College in 1866. Dr. Jones continued as President for three years. For the next twenty-six years the headship of the College was held by a Chairman of the Faculty. Professor Bennett Puryear, LL. D., was chairman 1869-1885 and again 1889-1895, and Professor H. H. Harris, LL. D., was Chairman 1885-1889. Among the notable men who gave the College distinction during this period were the two Chairmen, and Professors E. B. Sm ith , Edmund • Changed

BULLETIN
Harrison, J. L. M. Curry, A. B. Brown, W. D. Thomas, John Pollard, C. H. Winston and Secretary Charles H. Ryland. In 1873 and again in 1881, there were successful campaigns for money which provided new buildings and gave the nucleus of a new endowment. In 1894 the Trustees re-established the presidency of the College, and elected to the position F. W. Boatwright, at that time the youngest member of the Faculty. Despite many difficulties there was steady growth. A science hall and a large dormitory were erected, and under the leadership of Dr. W. E. Hatcher, President of the Board of Trustees, $100,000 was added to the endowment. In 1898 women were admitted to College classes. The restrictions upon matriculation of women did not prevent a slow but constant increase in the number of women students. It soon became evident that better provision should be made for women students. A five-year campaign undertaken jointly with the Virginia Baptist Education Commission, and with the co-operation of the General Education Board of New York, added half a million dollars to the resources of the corporation. By 1910 the Trustees began to build two co-ordinate Colleges in the western suburbs of Richmond and to prepare for removal. The buildings were completed in 1914 and the first session of the greater College began in September, 1914. The new institution, still called "Richmond College,"* embraces a college for men, also called "Richmond College," and a college for women, named "Westhampton College." These two schools are co-ordinate, having practically the same entrance and degree requirements and doing work of the same grade. There is no co-education in either of the colleges, but a considerable number of the same professors teach classes in both. Each college has its own institutional life and both enjoy many advantages on account of the proximity and co-operation of the other. Among these advantages are economy in administration, a laTger and better paid faculty of instruction, protection against academic isolation, and the enjoyment of a freer social and cultural life. • See note,

The campus of Richmond College embraces 150 acres and that of Westhampton College 130 acres. Westhampton Lake, covering nearly ten acres, separates the two colleges. The grounds and buildings of Richmond College and Westhampton College are valued at $1,500,000. The income-bearing endowment enjoyed by the two institutions jointly approximates $1,100,000. The dormitories and recitation buildings of both institutions are fire-proof structures, built of steel, concrete an(! brick. The floors are of reinforced concrete, the partitions of hoPow tile, and the casements of bronze. Stairways are constructed of steel with slate treads. All 1.mildings are heated throughout with hot water, lighted with electricity, and provided with tlie best modern sanitary equipment. Direct communication is maintained with the heart of the City of Richmond by street cars, whid1 entPr the campm and make the trip for a six-cent fare. Faculty and students of both colleges have opportunity to enjoy all the advantages of a ,rnrld-famous capital city and, at the same time, to live and study in the quiet of a beautiful suburban park.
