Testimonials of good moral character are in all cases required; and those who are admitted from other Colleges must produce cer- tificates of dismission in good standing.

Students may he received at any time, but it is earnestly recom- mended, both for the advantage of the students and the convenience of the Professors, that they should enter at the commencement of the term.

Candidates for advanced standing, whether from other Colleges or not, in addition to the preparatory studies, are examined in those previously pursued by the class which they propose to enter ; or if they come from Institutions where different authors are read, in those which shall be deemed an equivalent to this course.

Reviews.

The students of this department are admitted to recitation in any of the regular classes ; and to the Lectures on Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Ge- ology, Xatural Theology, and Evidences of Christianity.

Ilcinarlis 011 fk Course of f tub^.

The Faculty, in arranging the course of study, design to make it as extensive, as useful, thorougii and systematic, as circumstances will admit. The course of Collegiate study is that ■which has proved, from experience, best adapted to the purposes of liberal education; the making of sound, practical and accomplished scholars. To com- plete this course requires four years. Each class recites daily, at least three lessons. On those alone who complete this course, can the degree of Bachelor of Arts be conferred. The studies of the Preparatory department can be easily accomplished ia two years. The course of study in the Scientific department is so arranged as to meet the wants and wishes of a large class of young men, whose time, means, or other circumstances do not admit of their pursuing a regular College course, but who deshe to cjualify themselves for teaching, or for business pursuits. With a competent knowledge of the common English branches, they may enter the Scientific depart- ment, and in two years complete an extensive course of 3Iathematics, Natural Science, and Belles Lettres.

^>cture.s.

In the department of Chemistiy and Xatural Philosophy, the sub- jects taught are illustrated by experiments ; and in the summer time, occasional lectures will be given by the Professor ia this department, before the whole body of students, on the preservation of health.

OHIO UNIVERSITY,

19

On JMineralogy and Geology, lectures will be given witli the exhibi- tion of specimens and drawings. In the Scientific department and Normal school, such lectures will be given as are deemed appro- priate, particularly with reference to preparation for teaching. Ex- ercises in composition and elocution are required through the various courses.

On the completion of the full course, students will, if approved on examination, be admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and three years thereafter may be admitted to the degree of Master of Arts. Any student may take a partial, or an entire course of study, as may suit his circumstances; and when any one shall have accom- plished the entire English and Scientific course, he shall receive a deo-ree of Bachelor of Science and English Literature. But no one will be admitted to the Collegiate degree of Bachelor of Arts, unless he pass a thorough and satisfactory examination in the entire Clas- sical course.

< i» tf » »

Prayers are attended in the College Chapel every morning, with the reading of the Scriptures, and all the students are requned to be present. They are also required to attend public worship on the Sabbath in the Chapel, except such as have permission to attend worship elsewhere.

Records are kept by the Faculty, exhibiting accurately the stand- ing of each student in scholarship and deportment. A low standing

OHIO UNIVERSITY.

on either record will be followed by a private admonition, and notice of the same will be given to the parent or guardian. Unexcused absence from a public examination, or continued delinquency, may subject the offender to degradation to some lower class, or to separa- tion from the Institution. It is believed, however, that a prompt and judicious cooperation on the part of parents or guardians, will relieve the Faculty from the necessity of resorting to severe meas- ures, and that the ends of good government may be secured by means that will save the feelings and character of the student.

No student is allowed to be absent without special leave, except in vacations. The absence of a student in term time, even for a day, occasions much greater injury than is commonly sujoposed by guar- dians or parents. During the vacations, on the contrary, parents are advised not to allow their sons to remain at College.

€^mmafai

There are three public examinations each year, at the close of each College Term, to which the Trustees of the University, the parents and guardians of students, and all persons who feel interested, are invited.

There are two Literary Societies connected with the University, the Athenian and Philomathean, each of which has a Hall and Li- brary, and in which students may enjoy the advantages of exercises in declamation, composition and debate, beside becoming familiar with the proper modes of conducting business in deliberative assemblies.

OHIO UNITEESITY,

21

The Librakies of the University and of the Societies contain a large number of choice and valuable books. To these, additions are made from time to time.

There is a Supply of Apparatus, amply sufficient to afford the means for a satisfactory illustration of the most important doctrines in the various departments of Mathematics, Astronomy, Natural Phi- losophy and Chemistry.

The MiNERALOGiCAL Cabinet is -well selected, and enriched by the extensive and valuable collection of Professor Mather, thus constituting one of the largest and best cabinets of Minerals in our country, and affording the means of a very complete exhibition of the subjects of Mineralogy and Geology.

Several of the students board themselves, at from fifty to seventy- five cents per week. The Trustees have authorized, for a limited time, the sale of scholarship at the following rate : Three years' tuition for $15 00.

Scholarships may be had from L. Jewett and J. M. Dana, Esc[S., in Athens. The sum of $80 will cover all the necessary expenses, exclusive of clothes and books, of a student at College, for the year; and the allowance of more is generally injurious in its influence on his improvement and good conduct. By self-boarding and economy in other matters, the expense may be reduced one half.

^marb.

The Academic Year now closing, has "been in all respects pros- perous. In the number of students the University has about attained to the standard of its palmiest days, and the promise of a steady and large increase is better than it has before been. Indeed, the ele- ments of a true and healthful progress are all here — a beautiful and healthy situation, commodious buildings now in good repair, well selected Libraries, sufficient Apparatus for illustration in Chemistry and Experimental Philosophy, a good endowment, an intelligent and liberal minded Board of Trustees, and a full corps of experi- enced instructors. To these, we may add a high moral sentiment among the students, and perfect unanimity in the Faculty respecting the methods of instruction and government. The village of Athens is a peculiarly desirable site for a public institution of learning. It is located on the banks of the Hockhocking, about twenty-five miles from the Ohio river, and in its position is elevated and healthful, commanding a scenery eminently picturesque and beautiful. The standard of education in the Ohio University is high, but our young men seem to be convinced of the fact, that if a thorough course of study is required, they are richly repaid in the mental stores and discipline, with which they go forth to the duties of life. The Modern Languages will be taught, and a class in Hebrew, under the care of the President, will be formed at the beginning of each College year, for students who have the ministry in view. In con- clusion, we may remark, there is no place that can be found, in which so many circumstances which are favorable to the interests of a student unite, as in the Ohio University.
