For admission to the Freshman Class, an examination in the follow- ing or equivalent studies is required : English Grammar, Geography, Elements of History, Arithmetic and Algebra through simple equa- tions, Six Books of Caesar's Commentaries, Eight Books of Virgil's iEneid, Six Orations of Cicero, Sallust, Greek Testament, Three Books of Xenophon's CyropEedia, and Two Books of Homer's Iliad. Candidates are examined on Monday and Tuesday before the Com- mencement, and on the Tuesday previous to the third Wednesday of September. • The Annual Commencement takes place on the Wednesday pre- ceding the 4th of July ; from which time there is a vacation till the third Wednesday of September. Besides this, there is a recess of one week, from Christmas till after New Year's ; and of two weeks, commencing on the first Monday of April. Tee price of Tuition is eighty dollars per annum, to students who pursue a course amounting to three daily recitations or lectures. Those who pursue particular branches pay in proportion. An additional charge of ten dollars per annum is made for the inci- dental expenses of the Institution. The Tuition and Incidental fees arc payable in half-yearly advance payments, namely, on the 1st of October and the 1st of February. The Scriptures are read and prayer offered every morning in the chapel, when the Chancellor or one of the Professors officiates, and the students arc required to be present. Students whose parents reside in the city, are supposed to live in their own families ; for those who come from a distance, boarding may be obtained in respectable private families. Any student who shall injure or deface the building, in addition to such penalties as the Faculty shall see fit to inflict, will be subject to the expense occasioned by the necessary repairs. Habitual indolence and inattention -to study will be regarded as an offense against the laws and the spirit of the Institution, and will be made the subject of SU9I1 discipline as the Faculty may deem expe- dient. Any student who frequents billiard-rooms, taverns, or other places of corrupting injj^ence, will not be allowed to remain a member of the University. All instances of absence from chapel and recitation, or tardy attend' dance upon the same, unless explained by a note from (lie parent or guardian, or otherwise satisfactorily accounted for to the officiating PRICE OF TUITION. GENERAL REGULATIONS. «*bi8 14 m& Professor, will be communicated to the parent or guardian, and will subject to discipline. No student will be permitted to leave the city during term-time, unless a request to that effect be made by his parent or guardian. No meeting of the students can be held in the University for the transaction of any kind of business, unless by permission. Every student is free to attend to such Departments as his guardian may select ; but in order to receive the Degree of Bachelor of Arts, he must have pursued the course of study prescribed in the Depart- ments of Ancient Languages, Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, Che- mistry, and the Moral Sciences, which is designed to occupy three hours a day for four years. "When the student has completed the full course of instruction in any Department, he may receive a Diploma certifying the branches of study pursued. A premium will be awarded to the Student who passes the best examination for admission to the Freshman Class, and one to him who passes the next best examination. Competitors for the two premiums will be examined on the first Saturday after the term commences, (the 23d September, 1854,) and such examination shall embrace the studies required for admission — in Latin, Greek, Arithmetic and Algebra, through simple equations. . At the Commencement of 1855, the following premiums will be awarded: In the Sophomore Class, three prizes of equal value, namely, one to the Student of highest standing in Latin; another to the same grade in Greek ; and the third to the same grade in Mathematics: In the Freshman Class, three prizes of equal value for the same studies in said class. The standing of candidates for these premiums is to be decided by the records of the daily recitations throughout the year, and a special examination on the studies of the year at its close. At each Junior Exhibition at the close of the Spring Term, orations will be assigned to eight students standing highest in the class, and the two College societies shall each appoint one additional. A prize, to be called "The Webster Prize," will be given to the best speaker on the occasion, to be awarded by a committee not connected with the University. HONORS AND PREISIUMS. At each Commencement, the Valedictory Oration is regarded as the First Honor of the class — the Latin or Greek Salutatory as the Se- cond — the English Salutatory as the Third — and the Philosophical Oration as the Fourth ; while all orations are honors. The "Van Doren" Prize oration, on "the best mode of meliorating the condition of the heathen," will be a separate or special honor. SCHOLARSHIPS. Nearly one hundred Scholarships are owned by gentlemen who have contributed to the endowment of the Institution, and these they have always desired to have occupied by meritorious and suitably qualified young men — embracing those who aim at high literary cul- tivation, as well as professional pursuits. The aid of the Faculty will always be given to secure the benefit of these Scholarships to proper applicants. 2UMioiutl Scientific Jfmrimfnts, cm SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE.
