LIBRARY AND APPARATUS.
The Public Library contains about 3,000 well selected volumes,
and it is expected that considerable additions will soon be made to
it. The University has also an extensive and valuable Apparatus for
illustrating the sciences of Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, &c.
The Mineralogical and Geological Cabinet has recently been en¬
larged by the addition of the extensive and valuable collection of
Minerals belonging to Prof. Clark.
EXAMINATIONS.
1. Of all the Classes, at the close of the winter Session.
2. Of the Senior Class, three weeks preceding Commencement.
16
3. Of the three lower Classes, on the week preceding Commence¬
ment.
COMMENCEMENT AND VACATIONS.
The AjfjruAL Commencement takes place on the first Wednes¬
day of August. The Summer Session will commence on Monday
the 16th of March; the Winter Session, on Thursday the 22d of
'October. There is but one vacation during the year, which com¬
mences the day after the Public Commencement. This arrange¬
ment is for the purpose of affording students from a distance an op¬
portunity of visiting their friends, and also that those who wish,
may teach school without loss of Collegiate standing.
ADMISSION.
Each candidate for admission is expected to produce testimonials
of good moral character to the President or some one of the Facul¬
ty ; and, on paying to the Treasurer the amount of Tuition for a
Session, is admitted into that class or department for which his qual¬
ifications entitle him. The payments in advance materially aid the
Trustees in reducing the expenditures to the lowest possible amount.
The officers, therefore, are not allowed to receive any individual
until a certificate from the Treasurer be presented. If the
student enter at the middle of the Session, the amount required is
proportionably diminished, and when sickness or other providen¬
tial calamity causes a student to be absent for half a Session, the
Tuition for that length of time is returned to him.
GOVERNMENT.
A copy of the Laws and regulations is put into the hands of every
student, or of his parent or guardian, before he enters the Institution.
The necessity of rules and of their strict observance, will be fell by
all who reflect, that one of the primary objects of education is a habit
of order. The moral as well as literary character of the student
should be elevated, not lowered, by his connexion with the University.
And, in all cases, when advice and admonition fail to enforce obc-
17
dience, the offender is sent home to his parent or guardian. The
increasing patronage and prosperity of the Institution, lead to the
hope, that the course heretofore pursued, meets the approbation of
the community.
EXPENSES.
Boarding is provided at the Public Hall, for students who
occupy the Dormitories; but the occupants furnish their own
rooms. The expense to each, when two occupy the same apart¬
ment, for bed, bedding, &c., including all the articles they need, is
from four to seven dollars. After using the articles as long as
wanted, the owners on leaving, sell their furniture, at a reason¬
able deduction, to others who enter the Institution; the loss in
no case, it is believed, exceeding one dollar per Session.
The Library tax affords the student the use of the Library, and
furnishes him with all the books in the course of study, with the
exception of Grammars and Lexicons. No books are provided for
those in the preparatory branches.
The expense per Session, may be stated as follows:
Boarding, payable in advance, .... $30 00
Tuition, 15 00
Library tax, or expense for books, .... 1 00
Contingent expenses, 1 00
Washing, fuel and lights, estimated at » . . 8 00
Use of furniture, do ... 1 00
Stationery, do ... 1 00
Amount per Session, $57 00
Students are allowed, at the present time, to occupy rooms in the
Dormitories, and to take their meals either at the Boarding
house or in private families. The charge in the latter case, gener¬
ally, is $33 00 per Session, payable in advance.
The above statement is made, that parents and guardians may
know, as nearly as possible, the expenses necessarily incurred;
and also with the hope, that the means of extravagant expenditure
will, in all cases, be withheld.
18
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
Connected with the Institution are two flourishing Literary Socie¬
ties. The members hold weekly meetings for extemporaneous Dis¬
cussions, Declamations, &c. It is recommended that every Student
connect himself with one of these Societies.
EDIFICES.
The buildings are located on a beautiful eminence of con¬
siderable elevation, on the north bank of the Holston, about half a
mile west of Knoxville. This location, which commands an exten¬
sive prospect, in healthfulness of situation, is unsurpassed. These
buildings consist, at present, of one large edifice, in which are the
recitation and other public rooms; three buildings for dormitories, a
Boarding house, and one Professor's house. The Trustees propose
erecting, the ensuing season, two buildings, each eighty feet long and
three stories high, for study rooms; also, two additional dwelling
houses for the accommodation of Professors.
Committees of the different Education Societies have been ap¬
pointed, who will examine candidates for patronage, at the com¬
mencement of each Session.
As was anticipated, the removal of the local causes of disease
in the vicinity of Knoxville, has restored the town to entire
healthfulness. Notwithstanding the unfavorableness of the season
and the prevalence of Epidemics in almost every quarter, the past
season, Knoxville and its suburbs remained entirely healthy, as much
so, as at any period since its settlement.
By an Act of the last Legislature, received since the printing of
the cover of the Catalogue, the name of East Tennessee College
has been changed to East Tennessee University.
