B. The following is the rule of the Immediate Government in respect to candidates for advanced stand- ing, who may have pursued their studies in a different order from that which is observed in this Seminarv. " Whereas, in consequence of the different order of studies indifferent Colleges, candidates from other Colleges for advanced standing in this, while deficient in some branches, may yet have anticipated others ; so that on the whole they have learned an equal amount of the studies of this Seminary, with the class, for ad- mission to which they apply; in such cases the Immediate Government will receive the anticipated, for the deficient studies. Provided, however, no studies shall be received in compensation but such as form a part of the course at this College ; and that the candidate have so much knowledge in each department, as to be able to go on with the class. And the applicant shall be admitted only on condition that he afterwards make up such deficient studies, to the satisfaction of the Government upon examination ; and should he neg- lect so to do, his connexion with the University shall be forfeited. Candidates from such a distance, as ren- ders it difficult to obtain a knowledge of the exact order of studies at this College, shall be entitled to the privilege of the foregoing rule." Where persons have been led by circumstances to pursue their preparatory studies in approved text books other than those in use here, they will be examined accordingly. Lectures, distinct from private exercises, are delivered to the whole college, or to one or more classes, or a select number of undergraduates or graduates, by the several Professors ; — on Divinity, to the whole col- lege, part of every Lord's Day; — on Sacred C riticisin, Philology, Rhetorick & Oratory," and Physicks, Fri- tllfll P h'*™ 8 *"^ 1 * ' on _N"*"r n * Tieljojqn.

The members of the College at- tend prayers and the reading of the Scriptures in the Chapel every morning and evening, when the President, or in his absence, a Professor or Tutor officiates ; — and the religious services of the Christian Sabbath in the Uni- versity Chapel, which are conducted by the President, who preaches on one part of the day ; and bv the Hollis Professor of Divinity, who delivers a lecture on the other part. There is a University church of the Congrega- tional order, in which the ordinances are administered, and of which the officers last mentioned are the min- isters. Any undergraduate, who is above twenty one years of age, and has been brought up to attend publick worship at an Episcopal church, who proposes to attend statedly on that service in Cambridge, on signifying in writing the fact, and his desire to the President, may have leave so to attend. — Any one under age, who has been accustomed to worship at an Episcopal church, may have leave to attend statedly upon that service in Cambridge, provided it be the desire of his parent or guardian, signified in the manner afotesaid. The College charges are made in four quarter bills, of which the annual amount, to those not beneficiaries, is as follows.

The rent of a room in a private house, near the College, is about fifty dollars a year ; and the price of a room and board in a family from four to six dollars a week. The foregoing charge for instruction is the whole expense under this head, and gives a student access to the lectures and recitations of the various professors and instructers, including French and Spanish, with the fol- lowing exceptions, viz. For the lectures of the Professor of natural history, on which attendance is voluntary, the fee is six dollars for the first course of Botany — for a second course four, and for Zoology nine dollars a year. The attendance on the private Instructer in Mathematicks, which is also optional, is a separate charge, at the rate of seven dollars and fifty cents a quarter. The principal part of the other expenses of a student, such as clothes and allowance of spending money, so far as the reputation, morals, improvement and happiness of the pupil are concerned, can be estimated by the judicious. The authority and influence of those entrusted with the government of the seminary are anxious- ly exerted to prevent extravagance, and to discounteiiance the culpable and pernicious emulation in expense, Still much will depend in this respect pupil.
