The above plan of studies is designed for such young men as intend to take a degree. They will be admitted to sur.h 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. While
this plan will be in the main followed, such changes will be made in it as the tastes and abilities of the classes may dictate. Each student is expected to have three studies, aud to recite daily in each.
In addition to the foregoing studies, there is a weekly Rhetorical exercise by all the classes, throughout the course. The Board employ four competent instructors to superintend these studies, avd 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 7 months-Board, including diet, fuel, light and washing, $56 Room rent and tuition, 28 For the second session of 2 months and 20 days-Board, tuition and room rent, 36
Total, $120
Payments should be half in advance and half at the close of the session Each student will be 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.
When the classes now pursuing their studies at the Institution shall have arrived at the end of the course, it is the design of the Trustees to confer on such of them as the Faculty may approve, the first degree in the arts. Meanwhile they appeal to a generous public for encouragement and success. They need an endowment to give enlargement and permanency to their enterprise. They invite the patronage of studious and sedate young men, for whose benefit the College has been established. As bequests to benevolent objects are not recoverable by law in Virginia, because the oocieties promoting these objects are not incorporated, they beg leave to suggest, that such btquests could be judiciously made to the College, because they may be secured by a legal process. Hoping that this fact may have its proper effect, they append the form of a bequest.
" I hereby give and bequeath to the Trustees of Richmond College, the sum of $--, (or such other property as may be desired to devise, if money,) to be paid to the Treasurer of the said Trustees."
