Applicants for admission to the Freshman class are examined in the English, Latin, and Greek Grammars, Latin Prosody and Composition, Ancient and Modern Geography, Arithmetic, Algebra as far as the end of simple equations, and the following books or their equivalents, in the Latin and Greek languages, viz: "De viris illustribus urbus Rome," Caesar's Commentaries de Bello Gallico, the whole; six books of Virgil's Eneid; six orations of Cicero; the selections from Lucian in Jacob's Greek Reader; three books of Xenophon's Anabasis, and two books of Homer's Iliad.

After October, 1869, the requisitions for admission to 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 course of study will commence on 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 other in the month of June. The latter will be the concluding examination of the academical 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.
