SCIENTIFIC DEPARTMENT. = —<@>- Tuts Department is designed to meet the wants of those young men who do not wish to pursue:a full Classical Course; and occupies the same time as the latter. Most of its recitations are made with the College Classes; and the same rhetorical exercises are required from these as from the other Students. PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. This Department prepares Candidates for admis- sion to the Freshman Class in the Classical or the Scientific Course. DISCIPLINE. The discipline of the College is parental in its character, but firm and decisive in its administra- tion, exercising an habitual supervision of the personal manners and morals of the Students, as well as of their literary improvement. A daily Roll Book is kept of the attendance, recitations and conduct of each Student, an abstract from which is forwarded, in the form of a Faculty Report, to parents and guardians, at the end of each Colle- giate Term. 14 CATALOGUE. WORSHIP AND RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION. The Students are all required to attend Public Worship in Chestertown on the Sabbath day ; choice of place, being left to themselves or parents ; also, prayers in College, morning and evening, and Bible Recitation on Sabbath afternoon. LIBRARIES AND APPARATUS. The College Library is large and well selected, and accessible to the Students, according to regula- tions established by the Board of Visitors. The Mount Vernon Interary Society has a small but growing Library open to members of the Society. ) The Members of the Faculty have also kindly extended the use of their private Libraries to well- deserving Students. The Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus is ample, and well adapted to illustrating those Sciences. The Mount Vernon Literary Society meets weekly, and is a most valuable auxiliary to the College Course. MISCELLANEOUS. This College, founded in 1782, and subsequently made a branch of the State University, was estab- lished in the language of its charter ‘‘for the benefit CATALOGUE. 15 of the Hastern Shore or of the Peninsula of the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays.’’ At the head of its many liberal benefactors, and among its early Visitors and Governors, stands the name of George Washington. Perhaps the most interesting of its historical recollections is connected with the visit which was paid by him after the close of the Revo- lution. It also bears on its roll of Alumni the names of many distinguished Sons, who for emi- nence in the learned Professions and other walks of life, will compare with the choicest fruits of any other Institution. The College property, with spacious grounds of ten acres, or more, consists of a large and imposing centre building, with one east and another west of the same, each three stories above a finished base- ment, and all completed in a style of architectural taste and beauty, and convenience of arrangements for educational purposes, rarely excelled in any of a similar class. The site is a commanding and beautiful emi- nence, half a mile north of Chestertown, over- looking all the surrounding country in every direction, and embracing as picturesque views of land and water as probably can be found any where in the State. Chestertown also is particularly easy of access, having a daily line of Stages, both North and South, and a Steamer from Baltimore daily, from which it is distant only four or five hours run. 16 CATALOGUE. EXAMINATIONS AND COMMENCEMENT. There are two public examinations in the Aca- demic Year—one at the close of each term, when it is exacted of every Student to be present. Public Commencement takes place at the close of the Summer Session, and also the Junior Exhi- bition. TERMS AND VACATIONS. The Winter Term commences on the 1st Monday in October, and ends at Easter.
