preparation for the jNIinistry, a more thorough course of Tlieological 5

instruction is arranged. This is the same as that usually pursued in l

ROOMS.

1. Rooms arc assigned to the students by lot, on the iirst day of the
session. Students not present at that time, can take their choice of
such rooms as arc unoccupied on their arrival.

2. Any student wishing to retain the same room more than one ycai',
will bo allowed to do so by making timely application to the proper of-
ficer.

3. Each student is held responsible for all disorder in his oAvn room,
and all damage done to the room must be made good by the occupants,
or the cost of repairs will be charged in their term bills.

4. Damages done to public rooms, and to all unoccupied rooms, is as-
sessed on the body of students, equally, unless it is known by whom the
mischief is done, when those concerned in it must pay the expense of
repairs.

TERMS AND EXAMINATIONS.

1. The Collegiate Year contains one session often months, which is
divided into two terms of five months each. The first term begins on
the first Monday in October, and the second on the first day of March.

2. There is but one vacation, (except a week during Christmas holy-
dayvS,) which embraces the months of August and September. In con-
sequence of this arrangement, the pupils can be with their friends dur-
ing the unhealthy season.

3. There are two Examinations a year — one previous to the Christ-
mas recess, the other at the expiration of the session in July — when
every student is required to undergo a thorough examination on the
studies of the preceding terra, and perform such other exercises as the
Faculty moy assign.

COMMENCEMENT AND DEGREES.

1. The Annuiil Ccjnimcnccmeiit is hold ou the fourth Thursday in |
July. i

2. No student is admitted to a Degree, or to any part in the Com- <
mencemcnt Exercises, unless he has creditably sustained all his exam- ;
inations, and performed such other exercises as may have been assigned I
him ; nor until all College dues have been settled, and he has paid the I
President $5 as a graduation fee. /

3. Students who have completed the English course, are entitled to <
receive an English Diploma, on the same conditions. ;

EXPENSES.

1. The following arc the rates of Tuition, Board, &c. :

Languages, and higher English, per term, $25

Common English Branches, 16

Incidentals, 2

Students rooming in College are charged $2 per month for

room, and servant to attend upon it, per term, 10

Board, per month, from $8 to 9

Washing, do., from $1 to 1 50

Fuel and Lights, of course vary with the season, and will at all times
depend much upon the economy of the student.

Tuition is required in advance, and no deduction is made for absence,
except in cases of protracted illness. The student is charged from the
time of entering to the close of the term, unless for special reasons, he
is admitted for a shorter period. In the Theological Department, tuition
and room rent arc free.

2. The necessary expenses at this institution arc moderate. Exclus-
ive of clothing, they need not exceed $200 per annum. But if the stu-
dent is allowed the free use of money, and is disposed to be extrava-
gant, he may spend much more here, as avcII as elsewhere — though it is
believed that Marion presents fewer temptations to extravagance than
any other town in Alabama.
