I TERMS OF ADMISSION.

Eveht person applying for admission into the Seminary, must produce satisfac-
tory written testimonials, that he possesses good natural talents, and is of a prudent
and discreet deportment ; that he is in full communion with some regular Church ;
and that he has passed through a regular course of Academic study ; or, wanting
this, he must submit himself to an examination in regard to the branches of litera-
ture usually taught in such a course.

When a student has been received under the care of a Presbytery, and has
passed his examination on the studies usually pursued in College with approbation
a certificate from the Presbytery declaring this fact, is received as sufficient to
answer every requisition in regard to testimonials.

When a student, who has been connected with any other Theological Seminary,
seeks admission into this, he must produce testimonials of his good standing, and
regular dismission, before he can be received.

The proper time for entering the Seminary, is at the commencement of the
Seminary year, which begins on the last Thursday of August. It is important
that students should be present at the opening of the Session.

The students, in addition to the use of libraries attached to the Seminary, have
access to that of the College, and on application to the several professors of that
Institution, can have the privilege of attending lectures on Natural Philosophy,
Chemistry and Natural History.

Gentlemen well qualified to teach the German and French languages are resi-
dent here, and will give instruction in those branches to such students as desire it
at their own expense.

There is no charge made cither for Tuition or Room-rent ; but each student
pays $10 per annum to the “General Expense Fund,” the object of which is to

xvr.

ilcfray the contingent expenses of the Institution. Students who may prefer room-
ing out of the Seminary building, can be accommodated in the Tillage and vicinity.

Indigent students are aided either by the General Assembly’s “ Board of Educa-
tion,” or the funds of the Seminary.

'Fire expense of board in the Rafectory varies from $1.45 to $1.75 pcrwxck.
Board may be obtained in private families at from $1.50 to $2.50 per week.
Expciw5®s for fuel ftona $6 to $10 per year. Washing $8.

May and terminates on the last Thursday ita .‘\ugust.
