L E C T U R E S .I n addition to the study of text-books, Lectures are delivered in the

.course of the year, as follows, v iz :

To the Sophomore Class,—During the first term, on History, by Professor P erky. During the third term, on Mineralogy, by Professor Chadbotjkne.

To the Junior Class,—Throughout the year, on the various departments of Natural Philosophy, by Professor H opkins.

During the second term, on Intellectual Philosophy, by the P resident ; and during the third term on Geology by Professor Chadbourne.

Lectures upon Greek and Latin Life and Literature are also delivered in connection,with the study of these Languages.

The Grammars used are Andrews’ and Stoddard’s Latin (revised edition), and Crosby’s Greek. The Lexicons, Andrews’ or Leverett’s Latin, and Liddell and Scott’s Greek.

The following Books are recommended for reference : Zumpt’s Latin Grammar, and Doderlein’s Latin Synonynies, Kflhner’s Greek Grammar, Long’s or Findlay’s Classical Atlas, and Smith’s Classical Dictionaries.

The study of Astronomy is accompanied by practical illustrations in the Observatory, and by instructions in the use of instruments, among which are a Transit Instrument, and a powerful refracting Telescope, equatorially mounted and moved by clock-work. By members of the Senior Class appointed for the purpose, daily observations are made upon the force and direction of the Magnetic Current as shown by instruments in the Magnetic Observatory, upon the Barometer, the Psychrometer, and the various phenomena connected with the weather.

2 2 W I L L I A M S C O L L E G E . .

Every effort is made to do justice to the demands of the Physical Sciences, by the aid of Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus. The Mineralogical and Geological Cabinets, enriched by a large and carefully, selected collection, presented to the College by the late Professor E mmons, are extensive and val­uable, and constant use is made of them in connection with the Lectures.

L Y C E U M O F N A T U R A L H I S T O R Y .

By the munificence of N athan J ackson, Esq,, of New York, a beautiful and appropriate building has been erected for the valuable and constantly- increasing Cabinet belonging to the Lyceum of Natural History. This Society has been sustained by the students for nearly thirty years. I t is now in a highly flourishing condition, and offers ample facilities and encouragement to those who desire to pursue any branch of Natural History beyond what is •required in the College course.

' G O O D R I C H H A L L .

GYMNASIUM AND CHEMICAL LABORATORY.

A spacious and elegant building has just been erected through the liberality of Hon. J . Z. Goodrich, of Stockbridge, which, together with a complete suit of apartments for the use of the Chemical Department, will furnish the best facilities for Gymnastic Exercise and Training. A department of instruc­tion in Physical Culture has also been founded by Mr. Goodrich, which will speedily be put in operation.

D E C L A M A T I O N ,

Besides the Declamations in the Classes, there is a public exercise in Declamation every Wednesday afternoon, in which all the Classes speak by divisions. Juniors and Seniors declaim original Compositions.

E X A M I N A T I O N S ,

Examinations of all the Classes are held before the close of each term on the studies of that term, except before the close of the third term of the Sophomore year, when the examination embraces all the studies of the two preceding years. The final examination of the Senior Class begins on the Tuesday preceding the fourth Wednesday before Commencement, and continues two days. The three lower Classes are examined during the week before Commencement.

WILLIAMS COLLEGE. 23

d e b a t e s a n d e x h i b i t i o n s .

On the sixth "Wednesday evening of the first term, and on the eighth Wednesday evening of the second term, Public Debates are held between disputants elected from the two Literary Societies which form the Adelphic Union. The Exhibition of the Adelphic Union occurs on the evening of the first Wednesday of July. On the evening before Commencement, there is a Prize Rhetorical Exhibition, in which four speakers appointed from each of the three lower Classes compete for Prizes.

V A C A T I O N S .

The first Vacation, from Commencement, continues five weeks. The second, from the Tuesday preceding Thanksgiving, continues six weeks, affording opportunity for teaching to those whose circumstances require it. The third, from the third Tuesday in April, continues two weeks. Commencement is on the first Wednesday in August. Students are required to be present during the whole of term time, unless excused by the President. The loss of even a few days, especially at the beginning of a term, is exceedingly undesirable.

A T T E N D A N C E .

Punctual attendance is required at Church, and at morning and evening Prayers, as well as on other College exercises. A record is kept of all delin­quencies in these duties, and, with an account of the general deportment of each student, is sent to his parents or guardian at the close of each term.

By those who/ from choice or necessity, room in town, rooms can be obtained at prices varying from $20 to $50 per annum. The amount of incidental expenses will depend very much on the habits of the student, and the liberality of his allowance. I t is earnestly recommended to parents and guardians, not to authorize their sons and wards to obtain credit here, and not to pay debts contracted without their authority.

24 " W I L L I A M S C O L L E G E .

No back tuition is required; but those who enter on an advanced standing, unless they come from another College, pay the following sums as entrance money, viz : Sophomores, $10 ; Juniors, $15; Seniors, $20.

The income of the Charity Funds, amounting to about nine hundred dollars per annum, is distributed among indigent young men of merit, to aid them m the payment of their bills. This pays about two-thirds of the tuition of those who apply. No application for this aid will be considered, while the applicant is in arrears for other charges besides tuition, in more than one term bill.

L I B R A R I E S .

The College Library and the Libraries of the Literary Societies are open to all Classes on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Text-books can generally be obtained from the Franklin Library, for the use of which a charge is made of $1 a year, or $4 for the course.

The Library of the Mills Theological Society is open every Saturday.
