1. Applicants fo:' admission must furnish evidence of good moral
character, and produce a certificate of honorable dismission from the
Institution of which they last were members.

2. No one will be admitted, who shall faif, without reasonaMerexcuse,,
to report himself to some member of the Faculty within twenty-four
hours after his arrival in Town.

3. Candidates for admission to the Freshman Class, must sustain a
creditable examination in the Common English Branches, Latin and
Greek Grammars, Caesar, Virgil, Sallust or Cicero's Select Orations, the
Greek Reader, and Davies' Elementary Algebra through Equations of
the first degree, or what shall be equivalent thereto. The requirements
for admission to the first year of the Scientific Course are the same as
the above, excepting the Greek and Sailust or Cicero. For admission
to advanced standing, candidates must sustain an examination on all
the studies previously pursued by the class they propose to enter.

4. No one will be admitted to the Freshman Class until he has-
completed his fourteenth year, nor to advanced standing, without a
proportionate increase in age.

5. Students are admitted to pursue an irregular course, when in the
judgment of the Faculty it may be advisable. Such students, however,
are required to take a sufficient number of studies to occupy their
time profitably, and recite in such regular classes as they are qualified
to enter.

6. The attention of Parents, Teachers, and Candidates for admission
is called to the fact that the courses of study are elevated, and that
thorough preparation and a good degree of previous mental discipline
is necessary, in order to pursue them with success.

THEOLOGICAL COURSE.

To those who have completed a College course, or such literary
studies as may have qualified them to'receive, it, instruction will be
given in such a course of Theological studies as is usually pursued in
Theological Seminaries, occupying three years. All others are expected
to pursue either the Classical or Scientific coursejin preparation for the
Theological, except that those whose circumstances demand it, are per-
mitted to pursue a shorter course in Theology, as follows :

1. Ecclesiastical History.

2. In Systematic Theology :

1. Natural Religion ; 2, Evidences [of Revealed Religion; 3, The

Trinity ; 4, The Purposes of God, Election, &c; 5, Moral Accountability,
Natural and Moral Ability ; G, Man as a Sinner, The Fall, Depravity ;
7, Salvation by Grace; The Covenant of Redemption; Atonement;
Regeneration ; Justification by Faith ; Perseverance of the Saints ; 8,
Resurrection ; Future Rewards and Punishment; 9, The Church ; Bap-
tism, Communion, Officers and Discipline of the Church ; Preparation
of Plans and Criticism of Sermons ; Pastoral Duties.

All Theological students have throughout their course an exercise in
the Preparation of Plans and Criticism of Sermons.

BUILDINGS.

Soon after the opening of the present session, on the night of Oct.
15th, 1854, the College building was consumed by fire. The Chemical
and Philosophical Apparatus, the Cabinet, the College, Society and
other Libraries were totally destroyed. These losses were a severe
blow to the interests of the Institution, but its exercises have, neverthe-
less, been successfully continued and the classes have advanced regu-
larly in their several courses of study.

A prompt and generous movement on the part of the friends of the
Institution, has not only repaired these injuries, but has already placed
it upon a more firm and elevated fooling than that occupied previous
to the disaster. A more eligible site was selected, and two large and
commodious buildings at once put under contract. The principal or
College building will contain, in addition to a large Chapel, an Appa-
ratus Hall, Laboratory, Library and Cabinet Hall, two large Society
Halls, Offices, &c. The Dormitory building will contain recitation
rooms and twenty-two large and commodious lodging rooms. The
latter is already building, and is to be ready foi the accommodation of
students by the opening of the ensuing session. These buildings are to
be of a very superior class, and will furnish conveniences and facilities
far beyond those possessed by the Institution heretofore.

So soon as the wants of the Institution may demand, it is confidently
expected that a second Dormitory building, similar to the first, will at
once be erected.

APPARATUS AND CABINET.

Efforts have been successfully made to procure a fund for replacing
the Chemical and Philosophical Apparatus and Cabinet. There are
now in the hands of the Treasurer, cash and guarantees to an amount
above $3,000, and it is confidently expected that this sum will be in-
creased to $5,000. The Professor in charge of this department will
shortly visit the northern cities for the purpose of selecting personally,
an extensive Apparatus especially suited to our need. In all cases, in-
struments and appliances of the first class, will be purchased, and such
as cannot be obtained in this country will be imported from Europe.
The Laboratory will be fitted up with all modem conveniences, and
put in a condition for analytic investigation and for the pursuit of
other branches of original research. The Cabinet has already received
some valuable contributions, and a suite of specimens will be purchased.

There is then, no doubt that the Institution will possess facilities in
this department much superior to those of past years.

As it is highly important that the geological features and mineral
resources of our own State should be fully illustrated, further contribu-
tions of minerals and fossils are solicited of all friends of the Institution.

LODGING ROOMS.

1. Rooms can be obtained, in connection with board, in good fami-
lies. Students desiring to room in College, are allowed their choice of
rooms, on application to the President.

2. Students are permitted to room only in College, or in private
houses and must not change their rooms except by permission.

MERIT ROLL.

A dailv record is kept of each student's punctuality and the charac-
ter of his recitations, a summary of which is sent to the parent or
guardian at the close of each month.

THE SUB-FRESHMAN CLASS.

This class is made up of those who are preparing to enter upon the
Classical or Scientific course. Attention is invited to the fact that they
enjoy the instruction of the Professors and Tutors in College, and that
their studies are directed with special reference to the course upon
which they propose to enter.

PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT.

Pupils are received into this Department at any stage of advance-
ment, and the following Text-books are used, viz :

Weld's English Grammar ; — Mitchell's Geography ; — Thompson's
Arithmetic; Davies1 Algebra ; Willard's History of the United States ;
Ruschenbuiger's Series of " Firsi Books in Natural History"; Andrews
and Stoddard's Latin Grammar ; Arnold's First and Second Latin
Books; Andrew's Latin Reader; Anthon's Cresar, Sallust and Virgil ;
Crosby's Greek Grammar; Anthon's Greek Reader ; Greek Testament.

TERMS AND EXAMINATION.

1. The Collegiate Year contains one session of nine months, which
is divided into two terms. The first term begins on the first day of
October, and the second on the fifteenth of February.

2. There is but one vacation, which embraces the months of July,
August and September.

3. There are two examinations a year — one at Chiistraas, the other
at the expiration of the session in June — when every student is required
to undergo a thorough examination on the studies of the preceding
term, and perform such other exercises as the Faculty may assign.

A committee is appointed annually by the Alabama Baptist State
Convention to attend upon the examination iu June.

COMMENCEMENT AND DEGREES.

1. The Annual Commencent is held on the last Thursday in June.

2. No student is admitted to a Degree, or any part in the Com-
mencement Exercises, unless he has creditably sustained all his exami-
nations, and performed such othei exercises as may have been assigned
hi in ; nor until all College dues have been settled, and he has paid the
Treasurer $5 as a graduation fee.

3. Students who have completed the Scientific Course, receive, on
the same conditions, the degree of Bachelor of Sciences.
