 CHAP. XI.—EXPENSES. 
 
 For the session of five months, beginning seven weeks after the 
 third Wednesday in June, and ending the 20th of December, the 
 expenses (independent of wood, candles, bedding é&c.) are as fol- 
 
 lows, viz:— 
 Board $8 per month - - - $40 00 
 Tuition and Deposit Fee - - 20 00 
 
 Total - - - $60 00 
 
 For the remaining session, beginning the third Wednesday in 
 January, and ending the third Wednesday in June, the expenses 
 
20 
 
 are the same. Making the expenses of the whole yearly term as 
 follows:— 
 
 Board : =, : * 2 o@ $80 00 
 Tuition and Deposit Fee = < 40 00 
 Total $120 00 
 
 CONTINGENT EXPENSES. 
 
 Bedding and washing for 10 months, at 
 
 $2 per month, - - - - $20 00 
 Wood (half the quantity necessary to fur- 
 
 nish one room,)- - - - 5 00 
 
 Lights (do do do) 6 00 
 Incidental expenses, exclusive of pocket 
 
 money, - - - - - 15 00 
 
 $46 00 
 
 Amount for Board and Tuition, 120 00 
 
 Total expense for 10 months, (exclusive 
 of pocket money,) - - - $166 00 
 
 Nore.—In the item of incidental expenses, we have included some ar- 
 ticles of furniture which a student first entering College must furnish 
 himself with, and also his text books. The sum assigned for this pur- 
 pose will not perhaps be sufficient the first session. We have given what 
 we suppose to be the average annually throughout the Collegiate course. 
 In respect to pocket money, the amount is left entirely to the discretion 
 of the parent or guardian. More, however, than is necessary to meet the 
 wants of a student will prove injurious. 
 
 PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. 
 
 In order to produce as far as possible a uniformity in the system 
 of instruction, and the better to prepare young men for the higher 
 studies of College, there has been connected with the Institution _ 
 a Preparatory Department, under the tuition of a sufficient number — 
 of qualified instructors. 
 
21 
 
 A separate building is appropriated to the purposes of this school, 
 remote from the other buildings of College. 
 
 The school itself has recently been re-organized under the fol- 
 lowing resolutions of the Board of Trustees: 
 
 1. That the general superintendance of this school be commit- 
 ted to the Professor of Ancient Languages with the title of Rector, 
 and its immediate government to the Principal thereof, who shall 
 be aided in the discharge. of his duties by an assistant Teacher or 
 ‘Teachers, when necessary. | 
 
 2. That the President of the College shall, when applied to; 
 give his advice upon any matter relating to the interests of the 
 school. 
 
 3. That the Rector and Teachers be required to manage the 
 school by making and enforcing all necessary regulations in subor- 
 dination to the acts of the board; and that they report annually to 
 the Board the state of the school. 
 
 4. That it shall be the duty of the Rector to spend one hour dai- 
 ly in the school, to hear in Latin or Greek the highest class pre- 
 paring for College, and also to hear occasionally any other class he 
 may wish. 
 
 5. That the students of this school be required to attend at the 
 Preparatory School House at the ringing of the College bell for 
 morning prayers, and that the school be kept at business until the . 
 ringing of the second breakfast bell. 
 
 6. That it shall be the duty of the Principal to board at the Col- 
 lege Hotel and take the supervision of the students there, by visi- 
 ting their rooms, and seeing that they attend to their studies and 
 behave orderly from the dismission of the school until its opening 
 the next day.
