The Junior and Senior classes are yet to be arranged. The above plan of studies is desi gned, as far as it goes, for such young men as intend to take a degree. They will be admitted to such classes as they shall be judged, on examination, prepared to enter. Should any prefer an irregular course, they can join the several classes in those particular studies which they may desire to prosecute. E ach student is expected to have three studies, and to recite daily in each. In addition to t he foregoing studies, there is a weekly Rhetori·cal exercise by all the classes, except the First , throughout the course. The Board employ three competent instructors to superintend these studies, and should the number of pupils demand it, this number will be increased. Lessons are also given in French at an extra charge, by a native of France , who speaks the English language.

TERMS. For the first session of 6 months-Board, including diet, fuel, light, and washing, $50 Room rent and tuition, 24 For the 2nd session of 4 months-Board, tuition, and room rent, 46 Total, $120 Payments should be half in advance and half at ¢he close of the session. Each student will be

12 charged twenty cents for a copy of the Rules, and will have access to the Library by the payment of one dollar per annum.

REMARKS. The Va. Baptist Education Society had under its care a Seminary from the 1st of July, 1832, to the 1st of January, 1843. In the progress of that institution, its conductors and friends became satisfied of the importance of securing for it an act of incorporation.

As, however, the Legislature was k nown to be decidedly hostile to incorporating religious institutions, the Society determined to designate about forty gentlemen who should proc ure the passage of an act incorporating themselves under the title of "Richmond College," and to transfer, on certain conditions, the Seminary to their hands.

This has been done, and the present is the first year of the operat10ns of the College. As the Trustees are determined to avoid pecuniary embarrassment, they propose to conduct the College classes only so far as their resources may justify, taking care to have t he students thoroughly taught as far as they shall go.

It 1s not their purpose to confer degrees till they shall have afforded facilities for education equa l to those of other chartered institutions.

As the p atronage of the community and the proceeds of an endowment now lieing raised shall increase th eir means, they will continue to add to the ir corps of instructors, until they shall have procured a Faculty sufficient to conduct the classes through t he ordinary collegiate course. Meanwhile they appeal to a generous public for encouragement and success. Some of our noblest institutions h ave sprung from humble beginnings.

It is far better to proceed cautiously-to live within our means-and to rise gradually but surely, than by affecting a premature prosperity, to plunge the enterpr ise into the vortex of ruin .
