RECAPITULATION.
STATEMENT
• OF THE
ORGANIZATION, CouRsEs OF INSTRUCTION, Expenses, &c., at Richmond College.
ORGANIZATION.
The College is composed of eight independent Schools.
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 pertain s to the discipline and interior management of the Institution, while each Professor is responsible for the efficient conduct of his own School.
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. His course of study having been a~ranged, he will receive a permit to matriculate, upon presentation of which to the Treasurer, and payment of the required fe_es,his name will be placed on the rolls.
SELECTION OF STUDIES.
Each stt.dent, under the advice of the Faculty, may select such studies as are most important in qualifying him for his future pursuits; but while allowing such selection the Faculty will always encourage a regular and complete course, and to this end reserve the right to prescribe the studies to be pursued by all who shall be

found unprepared for classes higher than the Junior in any two of the schools of Latin, English and Mathematics.
Every student is required to attend at least three schools, and to adhere throughout the session to the studies selected on his matriculation, unless the Faculty, for satisfactory reasons, allow him to attend a less n~mber or to make an exchange.
Students are assigned t? the several classes in a school according to their apparent attainments; but the Professor will be at liberty at any time to transfer a student to a higher or lower class, if it be found desirable. •
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. Every appropriate means is used to develop 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.
Students who habitually neglect their duties, or who are not regular and punctual m 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 Sundayschools. 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 su ch a c~urse.
BIBLICAL LECTURES.
Believing that no education is complete without a knowledge of the book, which of all others is most widely read, most frequently quoted, and most influential in shaping the thoughts, feelings and
RICHMOND COLLEGE.
conduct of men, the Faculty have provided, 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 intelligent and appreciative study of the sacred Scriptures.
The course will be varied from year to year. For constant reference throughout the course, students would do well to provide themselves with an Annotated Paragraph Bible, Angus' Bible Handbook, Barrows' Companion to the Bible, and Smith's Old and New Testament Histories.
SESSION.
The session begins on the 22nd September, and continues without interruption, ( except a recess of a few days at Christmas), for nine months.
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 occasioned by absence from the classes at that important period.
MODE OF INSTRUCTION.
Instruction is conveyed by the use of approved text-books, supplemented, in the ·higher classes by lectures, and accompanied in all the classes by searching daily ex aminations.
Section-teaching is resorted to, in the lower branches, in order to secure satisfactory classification of students, and, by reducing the size of the classes, to afford each student the benefit of foll attention and thorough instruction.
MONTHLY 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 carefully determined. The monthly report will also contain a statement of the absences of each student from his classes, with such farther information as it may be deemed proper to communicate.
The object of these reports is mainly to enlist the active sympa-
CATALOGUE OF
thy 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 his qualification for graduation or distinction.
GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS.
The city of Richmond, combining advantages of climate, accessibility, good society, and many other aids and stimulants to mental culture, is justly regarded as the best location in the South for an institution of learning. The College premises embrace about thirteen acres just within the corporate limits, and in a portion of the city, which, on account of its natural beauty and elevation, is devoted mainly to private residences, and is improving more rapidly than any other. The centre building, a large and beautiful edifice, occupies a commanding site and fronts directly down Grace street from its western terminus. It contains a charel, lecture-rooml:l, society halls, library, museum, and some dormitories. Of the wings, designed mainly for dormitories, only one has yet been erected, but this with cottages and other buildings on the premises, will furnish ample accommodation for twD hundred and fifty students or more. The other wing will be built as soon as the increase of numbere requires it. The dormitories and public rooms are well ventilated, supplied with gas and warmed by a steam heating-apparatus the most approved for safety, comfort and healthfulness.
Much remains to be done in completing the buildings and ornamenting the grounds, and the Trustees have given abundant proof, by what has been recently accomplished, that as rapidly as the means at their disposal will allow, they will, without sparing either pains or expense, make the College in all its appointments not only attractive in appearance, but as thoroughly suited as possible to the purpose for which it was founded.

RICHMONDCOLLEGE.
VI. SCHOOL OF PHYSICS.
PROFESSOR W!)ISTON.
To the School of Physics are assigned the several subjects usually grouped under its title or under the practically equivalent name, Natural Philosophy. These include: The General Properties of Matter; Mechanics proper, or the cardinal doctrines of Force, Equilibrium, Motion and Energy, in their various kinds, their relations to the several states of matter, and their practical applications; a full consideration of the phenomena and laws of Sound and of Light; such a treatment of Heat, Magnetism and Static and Dynamic Electricity, as is properly physical; and :finally a brief but compact course in Celestial Physics or Astronomy.
The method of instruction is by text-books, and by Lectures for the most part referring to the text, with daily examinations upon both text and lecture, and Written Exercises required weekly.
There are two classes :
The JUNIORCLASSmeets three times a week. It begins with the elements, and pursues the course by the aid of abundant experiments and illustrations, with continual reference to practical applications.

EXAMINATIONS AND AWARDS.
There aretwo general examinations in each class, which every member 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 £.rst 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 mainly in writing. 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 are carefuily read and valued. If the agggregate 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 leEs 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.
At the Final Examination of Senior Classes in Latin, Greek and Modern Languages, passages which have not been read and explained in the class-room, will be eelected for translation, and in all Senior Classes a part of the Final Examination, covering the whole course taught in the School, may be given orally and made as searching and extensive as the Professor may deem necessary. The standing of the student at the daily examinations will also be taken into the account.
Students who attain to the second division, in Junior or Intermediate classes, will be allowed to pass o~ to the class above.
Certificates of Distinction are awarded to those who attain the first division at either of the Examinations, and their names are published or announced in the closing exercises of the session.
Certificates of Fromotion are awarded to those who attain the first division, at both Examinations, in Junior or Intermediate Classes.
Certificates of Proficiency are conferred on those who attain the first division in certain complete subjects of study, to wit: in either Modern Language, in History, in Surveying, in Mineralogy and Geology, and in Political Economy.
School Diplomas are conferred on those who attain the first division in examinations covering the leading subjects taught in each School, to wit: the Latin Language and Literature and Roman History, the Greek Language, History and Literature, two Modern Languages, the English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Philosophy.
All candidates for graduation are subjected to a preliminary examination in English to ascertain whether they have such an acquaintance with the language as is indispensable to the attainment of any of the honors of the Institution.
The results of examinations are communicated to parents or guar• dians in the report for the month of June.
