The President, Professors and Tutors, have the immediate care and government of the Students, and are denominated "the Faculty," * Students imperfectly prepared for the classes they enter, are generally embarrassed in all their subsequent course.

Every member of the Faculty shall use his utmost exertions to carry into full effect all the laws of College. 9. An exemplary regard to moral obligations is indispensably re- quired of every officer of College. 10. At the beginning of each session, and as much oftener as the President may appoint, there shall be a meeting of the Faculty, at which each officer shall be assigned his part of the course of instruc- tion; provided that the professors shall always have the branch of science which they severally profess, included in the parts assigned them. The frequency with which each class shall meet, is to be de- cided at these meetings. 1 1 . Every member of the Faculty shall have the right to enter the rooms and studies of the Students, at any time. 12.

In addition to recitations in the various branches enumerated ahqve, the classes attend to lectures and experiments on various por- tions of the course, and exercises in Oratory, both private and public. Compositions or translations required from every student, once a month throughout the course. Declamations by every student, once a month. The object of the whole system of instruction is not to carry a few branches of study to a great extent, nor on the contrary, to give a superficial knowledge of almost everything; but to commence a tho- rough and liberal course, and prosecute it as far as the time allows It is hoped thus to foster a general symmetry of character, and bring all \]ie mental powers into due exercise. It is not intended to qual- ify young men for and particular pursuit in life, but so to develope and instruct their minds, as to prepare them for the study of any pro- fession. 9 IV.— HOURS OF STUDY. 1. The hours of study shall be established by the Faculty, from time to time, at their discretion, subject to the approval of the Trus- tees. 2. From the first of October to the first of April, study hours shall be from 9 to 12 o'clock in the forenoon, from 2 to 5 in the afternoon, and from 6 to 9 in the evening. During the remainder of the year, from 8 to 11 in the forenoon, from 2 to 5 in the afternoon, and from 7 to 9 in the evening. 3. During these hours, every student is required to apply himself with diligence to his prescribed duties and pursuits; and such of the time as is not devoted to recitations, he shall remain in his room. 4. Students shall not collect together in any recitation room be- fore the appointed time, nor remain there after the exercises are closed, without permission. V.— TERMS AND VACATIONS. 1. The College year is divided into two terms or sessions. 2. The first session begins on the third Monday in September, and closes on the last Friday in January. The second session be- gins on the following Monday, and closes at Commencement. 3. There shall be a recess of one week, beginning on the day be- fore Christmas. 4. No Student shall leave town in term time, without permission from the President. (gjr It is of great consequence that Students return to College in time to attend the first recitations or lectures of their class. An absence of a few days, when a new branch of study is begun, seldom fails to produce subsequent embarrassment, and sometimes the loss is not made up during the course. VI.— DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES. 1. Every Student shall attend the daily devotional exercises in the College Chapel, at the hours appointed by the Faculty, and conduct with becoming gravity and reverence, during the whole service, and while going to, and returning from, the same. 2. All Students are required to attend, uniformly and punctually, public worship, on the Lord's day, in the Baptist church, in George- town, or in such other house of worship, as their parents or guar- dians may designate; and such evidence of punctual attendance shall be given, as the Faculty may require. 3. It is enjoined upon all the Students to "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, and to avoid on that day every thing inconsist- ent with its religious observance. 4. There shall be kept a bill of attendance upon daily yrayers, by monitors appointed for the purpose; and all absences reported week- ly to the President. 2 10 VII.— COMMENCEMENT AND DEGREES. 1 .

On the day before the Commencement, an oration will be de- livered before the two literary societies, by some gentleman appoint- ed by them for the purpose, and on the same day or evening such poems or prize essays will be read, as the Faculty may appoint. 3. On the day after the final examination of the Senior class, which shall be on the 5th Wednesday preceding Commencement, the Pres- ident shall make known to them the decision of the Faculty, in re- lation to the parts to be performed by them at the ensuing Com- mencement. Aftefthe President has inspected and approved the written exercise of any member of the class, he may have leave of absence from Georgetown till the Friday next preceding Com- mencement; at which time he is required to return to College, and to attend to any rehearsal of his part, which the President shall direct. 4. Each speaker at Commencement, or any college exhibition, shall deliver a fair copy of his speech to the President, at least three weeks before the appointed time for delivering it. .&. If any Student neglect to rehearse, at the time and place ap- pointed, or to perform his part on Commencement day, he shall be liable to the loss of his degree. If he pronounce in public what is not contained in the copy of his speech, or deliver any passage which he has been directed to omit, he shall not be suffered to pro- ceed, and shall be liable to the same penalty. S. No Student shall be entitled to the degree of Bachelor of Arts unless he has completed the regular course of studies purs ued at this College, or its full equivalent. 5.

The mark received by a Student at arv examination, shall be reckoned as the average of one week. 4. Should any Student be found deficient, at the close of a ses- sion, he may be examined again, at the commencement of the next session; and his mark for such subsequent examination shall be en- tered on the Record Book; but shall not affect his previous standing. If found deficient, at this examination, he must re-eommence with ihe next lower class. IX.— EXHIBITIONS. 1.

Students, when required, shall give evidence in cases of vio- lation of the laws of the College.

The annual charges are: Instruction, $ 40 00 Use of Library, 2 00 Servant's hire for public rooms, - 1 00 Fuel for do. 1 00 General Damages, i 00 3. The graduation fee is five dollars, including diploma. For such as receive in course, the degree of Master of Arts, the fee is the same. For honorary degrees no charge is made, 4. The charge for tuition will always extend to the end of the ses» sion, except the Student leave College on account of sickness. 5. Students admitted within six weeks after the commencement of a session, pay the entire tuition fee; if at a later period, in proportion to the time.

Until a Student is regularly dismissed, he shall be regarded, whether present or absent, as a member of College, and be re- quired to pay the regular charges. In regard to the allowances for apparel and pocket money, great caution is solicited on the part of the parent. Whatever is more than sufficient for ordinary purposes, exposes the student to nume- rous temptations, and does not contribute to his respectability or happiness. As a precaution against extravagance, parents at a distance can 8 deposit funds with some citizen; or member of the Faculty, who will attend to a Student's pecuniary concerns, correspond with the parents, and render semi-annual accounts, for which he will charge five per cent, commision.

Connected with the College, in a separate edifice on the Campus, and under separate teachers, is a Classical School, designed and ar- ranged expressly for preparing Students for the Freshman class. No pupil is admitted into this Department without being able to read and write well, and having some knowledge of Grammar and Arithmetic.
