the Freshman class will embrace
four books of Legendre's
Geometry, and a knowledge of the
metric system of weights,
measures, and moneys, in
addition to the fore-going.
2. Every candidate
admitted into the Freshman
class, and every student, at the
commencement of the academical
year, must write in the
matriculation book of the
college his own name, and the
name and place of abode of his
father or guardian.
3. None but matriculated
students will be allowed to
attend the classes, upon any
pretense whatsoever, without the
special permission of the Board
of Trustees.
4. Candidates for
advanced standing will be
examined on the studies which
have been previously pursued by
the classes which they propose
to enter. Candidates from other
colleges will be required to
present certificates of
dismission in good standing.
5. The annual tuition fee
of each student is one hundred
dollars, to be paid at the
commencement of each academic
year.
Of Terms
The First Term of the regular

the first Monday in October.
The Second Term will commence
immediately after the
Intermediate examination in
February.
Of Examinations
There will be two examinations
of all the classes every year.
The one to commence on the first
Monday in February, and the

year; the former will be called
the Intermediate examination.
The examination will be held in
the presence of the president,
the professors, the students, a
committee of the trustees, and
such other persons as may choose
to attend. Immediately after
each concluding examination,
such candidates for admission
into college as prefer to
present themselves at that time
may be examined.
Of Commencement and Vacation
The annual commencement will be
held on the last Wednesday in
June, on which occasion
academical degrees will be
publicly conferred. There will
be a vacation of all the classes
from the day of commencement
until the Saturday next
proceding the first Monday in
October, on which latter day the
regular course of study will
commence. The candidates for
admission will be previously
examined.
There will be an intermission of
the public lectures on Ash
Wednesday, Good Friday, Easter
Monday, on such days in each
year as may be recommended by
the civil authority to be
observed as days of fast or
thanksgiving, and for two weeks
from the Monday next preceding
Christmas.
Of Public Worship
Prayers are attended in the
college chapel every morning,
with the reading of the
Scriptures and singing; and all
the students are required to be
present.
