{)ROAJ'll:l;ATION, :PouR$E$ Of JJ'l$TR_UCTION,

Expenses, &c., at Richmond College. m

ORGANIZATION.

The College is composed of eight independent Academic Schools, and a School of Law.

The Faculty of instruction and government consists of co-equal Professors, one of whom is annually chosen to be their Chairman and chief executive officer. To them as a body is committed all that pertains to the discipline and interior management of the Institution, while each Profes- sor is responsible for the efficient conduct of his own School.

Each student, under the advice of his parent or guardian, may select such studies as are most important in qualifying him for the duties of his future pursuits. But while allow- ing this freedom of election, the Faculty will use their in- fluence to encourage a regular and complete course of study, and will with pleasure direct, when requested, the course of younger students.

MATRICULATION.

Every applicant for admission, upon his arrival at the College, shall report promptly to the Chairman of the Faculty. If he has been a student at any other incorporated Institution, he must present satisfactory evidence of general good conduct while there. He will receive from the Chair- man a permit to matriculate, upon presentation of which to the Treasurer, and payment of the required fees, his name will be placed on the rolls.

CATALOGUE

Every student is required to attend at least three Schools, unless the Faculty, for satisfactory reasons, allow him to attend a less number; and he is not permitted, except by leave of the Faculty, to withdraw from or exchange Schools. Students are assigned to the several classes of a School at the opening of the session according to their supposed qualifications; but the Professor will be at liberty at any time to transfer a student to a higher or lower class if he finds it desirable.

DISCIPLINE.

The discipline of the College is founded upon the impartial administration of a few plain and reasonable rules. 'l'he deportment of a Christian gentleman is the standard to which every student is expected to conform. Every appropriate means is used to develop and confirm a sense of personal honor and a sacred rega1~dfor truth, as upon these will be placed the main reliance in behalf of good conduct. Students who habitually neglect their duties, or who are not regular and punctual in attendance, will be required to withdraw from College.

RELIGION.

The 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 are advised to bring with them letters of commendation, and thus, without severing their ecclesiastical connection at home, attach themselves while here to some church, and have the sympathy and care of a pastor. The daily duties of the College are opened with brief devotional exercises conducted by one of the Professors, and prayer meetings, conducted by the students themselves, are held once or more every week:. Attendance on religious exercises is left voluntary, as experience has shown that the best results flow from such a course.

BIBLICAL LECTURES.

Believing that no education is complete without a knowledge of the book:, which of all others is most widely read,

RICHMOND COLLEGE. .13

most frequently quoted, and most influential in shaping the thoughts, feelings and conduct of men, the Faculty have providea free of cost and open to all the students, a course of weekly lectures on the Bible. These lectures are neither sermons nor theological discussions, but a simple presentation of such facts and thoughts as will incite to an intelli- gent and appreciative study of the Sacred Scriptures.

The course will be varied from year to year. For constant reference throughout the course, students wou ]cl do weH to provide themselves with an Annotated Paragraph Bible, Angus' Bible Handbook, Barrow's Companion to the Bible and Smith's Old and New 'l'estament Histories.

SESSION.

The Sessiou begins .on the 1st October, and continues without interruption (except a recess of a few days at Christ- mas) until the end of the following June.

Students will be received at any time during the session, but are earnestly recommended to enter promptly at the beginning, and thus avoid the serious disadvantages occa- sioned by absence from the classes at that important period.

MODE OF INSTRUCTION.

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 examinations.

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.

MONTI-IL Y REPORTS.

A monthly circular, exhibiting the average proficiency of each student in his classes, will be sent to his parent or guardian. A strict account of the value of his recitations in each class is kept by the Professor throughout the month, and the average carefu11y determined. The monthly report

CATALOGUE

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 the student with a view to encouragement and restraint. By the prompt and judicious attention of those to whom they are addressed, these circulars may be made of great efficiency in promoting improvement and sustaining a just discipline.

A tabulated statement of the monthly standing of each student is kept, to which reference-is had in determining bis qualification for graduation in any of the Schools.

NEW BUILDINGS.

A capacious and beautiful building has been erected, furnishing ample lecture-rooms, society-halls, dormitories, chapel and library. During vacation the old building is to be altered to conform in architectural style and increased usefulness to the new. The College will be able to accommodate 300 students. The Trustees will so dispose of the "Memorial Fund" as to ensure enlarged facilities for instruction. As no location in the South for an institution of learning is better than the city of Richmond, or combines more advantages of healthfulness, accessibility, and aids and stimulants to mental culture, the past success of the College may be regarded as only the earnest of increasing prosperity.

duously exercised in the demonstration and solution of original propositions and problems throughout his whole course of study.

6. SCHOOL OF MECHANICS.

PROFESSOR---.

For the purpose of enlarging the Course of Instruction, the former School of Natural Sciences has been divided into the two Schools of Mechanics and of Chemistry. To the School of Mechanics are assigned the discussion of the General Properties of Matter, Forces and Motions, linear, rotary and oscillatory, with their modifications by Machinery, Acoustics, Optics and Astronomy.

School of Law-.

PROFESSORS.

WILLIAM A. MAURY, LL. B. JAMES NEESON, EsQ.

The course of Law will be gone through in a single scholastic year. In conducting the School of Law, the aim will be to implant th e great and guiding principles of J urisprndence, and to impart a philosophic habit of thought.

The recent ·appointment of an additional Professqr in this School, and the want of time to digest a plan of instruction soon enough to appear in this Catalogue, make it necessary to publish a separate Catalogue for the School of Law, which will appear at once. Reference to it is made for further particulars.

EXPENSES.

EXAMINATIONS.

Besides the daily examinations in the various classes, there are two general examinations in each class, held during the session, which every student is required to stand. The first, called the Intermediate Examination, occurs about 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 the course. These examinations are conducted in writing: A series of questions is prepared for each class, and certain numerical values aro attached thereto, in proportion to their relative importance. After the examinations the answers furnished by each student are 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 lowestdivision.

Candidates for graduation in the Schools of Latin, of Greek and of Modern Languages, are required in their Final Examinations to translate, from authors selected at will, passages which have not been read and explained in the class room.

Certificates of Distinction are awarded to those who attain the first division at either of these examinations, and their names are published 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 Examinations 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. The standing of the student at the daily examinations will also be taken into the account in ascertaining his qualifications for graduation. .

All candidates for graduation are subjected to a preliminary examination in English, to ascertai .n whether they have such an acquaintance with the language as is indispen-
