ORGANIZATION.
The internal management of the institution is committed to the Faculty.
Each Professor has control in his own School of the mode of instruction, the standard of graduation, and the method of determining it. Students will be rigidly examined as to their knowledge of the principles and details of the lectures and texts, and a high grade will be maintained in all the Schools.
MATRICULATION.
Every applicant for admission as a student must obtain from the Chairman a certificate for matriculation. Upon the presentation of this certificate to the Treasurer of the Faculty, and the payment of his fees, his name will be placed on the catalogue of students.
Every student is free to enter the Schools of his choice, or such as his parent or guardian may direct, and to graduate in any of the Schools whenever he can furnish satisfactory evidence by actual examination that he is properly qualified, without reference to the period of his attendance at the institution. He is required, however, to attend three Schools each session, unless the Faculty for satisfactory reasons allow him to attend less.
A student entering any School has the privilege of attend-ing any or all of its classes, as he may elect; and, if prepared
CATALOGUE
to enter an advanced clnss, may often find it highly advantageous to review his previous studies by attendance on a lo,ver class also.
DISCIPLINE.
The discipline of the College is founded upon the impartial administration of a few plain and reasonable rules. The deportment of a Christian gentleman is the standard to which every student is expected to conform his own. Every appro- priate means is used to develope and confirm a sense of personal honor and a sacred regard for truth, as upon these will be placed the main reliance in behalf of good conduct.
RELIGION.
The religious advantages of the College are unsurpassed, but attendance on religious exercises, whether at the College or in the city, will be entirely voluntary, as experience has shown that they are thus productive of the best results; and the instruction given shall be free from all sectarian bias.
SESSION.
The session begins on the first of October, and continues without interruption (except a recess of a few days at Christmas) until the end of the following June.
MODE OF INSTRUCTIO:N".
Instruction is conveyed by the use of approved text-books, supplemented, particularly in the higher classes, by lectures, and accompanied in all the classes by searching daily exami- nations.
Section-teaching is resorted to, especially in the lower branches, in order to secure satisfactory classification of students, and, by reducing the size of classes, to afford each student the benefit of full attention and thorough instruction.

PROFESSOR HARRIS.
The studies in this School embrace the forms and structure of the Language, with a rapid survey of the History and Literature, and are distributed between the following classes:
The JUNIOR CLASSis divided into two sections; the one, beginning at the alphabet, and advancing slowly, with daily exercises and frequent reviews, is mainly employed in acquiring a familiarity with the numerous inflections of the language; the other continues the study of Grammar, but devotes more time to translating the easier authors.
Text-books: Sec. I.-Harlrness' First Book, Xenophon. Sec. II.-Kiihner's Elementary Grammar, Arnold's Prose Composition, Xenophon, Herodotus.
The INTERMEDIATECLASS gives attention principally to a careful reading of several Attic authors, but continues the use of Kiihn~r's Grammar and Arnold's Composition.

Members of this class muy with profit attend also some of the Senior Lectures.
The SENIOR CLASS reads from Homer, Plato and Thucydides; has lectures on Grammar, with references to IGihner a11dHadley, and Original Exercises; and studies Smith's History of Greece, with some additions from Grote, Muller, and others.
For reference throughout the course, Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon, Yonge's English-Greek Lexicon. Anthon's Classical Dictionary and Baird's Classical Manual are recommended.
The exercises required in every class at least once a week are generally translations of English into Greek, sometimes the reverse. Being designed to promote accuracy, they are carefully corrected and returned with needed explanations.
Graduates and members of the Senior Class will also have opportunity to study, if they desire it, either the Hellenistic Greek or the Hebrew.

EXAMINATIONS.
Besides the daily examina tions in the various classes, there are two general examinations in each class, held during the session, whiah every student is required to stand. The first, called the Intermediate examination, occurs abont the middle of the session, and embraces in its scope all the subjects taught during the first half of the course. The second, called the Final examination, is held near the close of the session, and embraces the subjects treated of in the second half of th~ course. These exam inations are conducted in wi.·iting. A series of questions is prepared for each class, and certain numerical values are attached thereto, in proportion to their relative importance. After the examinations, the answers furnished by each student arc carefully read and valued. If the aggregate value of the answers of any student amount to four-fifths of that attached to the questions, he is ranked in the.first division; if to less than four-fifths, but not less than one-half, in the second division; if to less than one-half, in the third or lowest division.
Certificates of Distinction are awarded to those who attain the first division at either of these examinations, and their names are publi3hed or announced in the closing exercises of the session.
Certificates of Promotion are awarded to those who attain the first division at both these examinations, in the Junior or Intermediate classes.
Candidates for graduation, in any school, are required to attain the first division at the Final examination of the Senior Class, and to stand, besides, an oral examination, as searching and extensive as the Professor may deem necessary, on such portions of the course taught in the School as he may select. A distinction at the Intermediate examination in the Senior Class, may, however, relieve the student of an oral examination on that portion of the course embraced therein; and his standing at the daily examinations will also be taken into the account in ascertaining his qualifications for graduation.
RICHMONDCOLLEGE.
All candidates for graduation are sul'.ject ed to a preliminary examination in English, to ascertain whether they have such an acq naintance with the language as is indi spensable t o the attainment of any of the honors of the Institution.
The results of examinations are communicated to parents or guardians in the Report for the month of Jun e .

Fnel, lights, and washing, cost each student from $3 to $3.50 a month . By boarding in messing clubs, which plan during the past and current sessions has been generally adopted by the resid ent students, the total expenses of a student for the whole session (exclusive of cost of text-books and stationery,) need not exceed $205: for, though he assists in furnishing his dormitory, the furniture may be disposed of at the close of the session at a small discount, if kept in good order. The money to meet his expenditures will be needed at intervals-my, about $74 on entering, and $12 per month thereafter, excepting the month of February, for which he would require $47. Mei;s-
CATALOGUE
halls and kitchens are put at the disposal of students desiring to board in messes, at a charge of $4 for the entire session, payable on entrance, which amount is included in the estimate above. The outlay indicated cs,n be reduced to a large extent when supplies of provisions are sent from home. The routes of transportation centreing here, this method can be adopted in almost every part of this and the neighboring States; so that a parent can support his son mainly upon the provision he would consume, if at home.
In consequence of the great reduction effected by this plan in the cost of board, the Faculty have determined so to inspect and supervise its details as to give the method its highest efficiency.
EXPENSES OF A NON-RESIDE.1.\1 T STUDENT.
$5; public rooms, $5........................................
Of this sum, $45 are payable October 1st; the remainder, February 15th.
A deposit fee of three dollars is required of every student, the whole of which, however, is returned to the depositor at the end of the Ression,on his affirmation that College property has sustained at his hands no other damage than the necessary wear and tear.
Students assigned to private study-rooms are charged an additional fee of $2.50, to cover the expense of fuel for the session.
The fee for a single School is $50; for two, $60; for four, $80.
No deduction is made in the matriculation fee and roomrent on account of late entrance; and deductions in tuition fees are allowed only by quarters, or thirds of the colJegiate year. No payments are refunded on account of withdrawal before the close of the session, unless the withdrawal is made necessary by ill hEtalth. ~Many disadvantages to the student result from late entrance. Prompt attendance at the beginning of the session is earnestly recommended to all who would avoid the serioits loss occasioned by absence from the classes at that important period.
RICHMOND COLLEGE
Students having the ministry in view, and properly endorsed by their churches, will be received free of all College fees, except those of $5 for "public rooms," and $4 for rent of messhall.
MONTHLY REPORTS.
A monthly circular, exhibiting the average preparation of each student in his classes, will be sent to his parent or guardian. A s trict account of the value of his recitations in each cla ss is kept by the Profe ssor throughout the month, and the average carefully determined. The monthly report will also contain a statement of the absences of each student from his classes, with such further information as it may be deemed proper to communicate.
The object of these reports is mainly to enlist the active sympathy of friends in the progress of each student, with a view to encouragement and restraint. By the prompt and judicious attention of those to whom they are addressed, these circulars may b e made of great efficiency in promoting improvement and su staining a just discipline.
LIBRARY AND LITERARY SOCIETIES.
The Library of the College, recently greatly enlarged by a valuable donation from the late Rev. E. J. Owen, LL. D., of Missouri, contains about 5,500 volumes. The libraries of the two flourishing Literary Societies, the Mu Sigma Rho and the Philologian, jointly contain about 1,000 volumes .
These Societies, f)Stablished for improvement in debate, declamation, and composition, are maintained with energy and profit. Offering medals for eminent ability and improvement, they excite a generous emulation among the mernbers, productive of very beneficial results.
