l^l\e Maryland ^^ridiiltiiral College

Is sitiuited ill Prince Georire's couiitv, nine miles from Wash-
ino'ton, twentv-ei^'ht from Baltimore, and thi-ee-fonrtlis of a
mile from Colleo-e Station, on the Washini>;ton branch Balti-
* more and Ohio railroad. The CoUeo-e bnildino:, which is
spacions and s\d)stantial, is in tliorongh re[)air, has line cham-
bers, is well ventilated and warmed, liglited tlironghont with
gas, and combines every re(|nisite of a comfortal)le and pleas-
ant home. Tlie location, Avhich experience has proved emi-
nentlv healthfnl, is on the ed<>"e of a liandsome forest c'i'owth,
and commands a line view of the pietiiresqne country around it.

Ten trains (five from AYashington, live from Baltimore)
stop at the College Station every day, tlius affording conve-
nient and speedy access to the Institntion.

N. B. — Persons coming to the College are notified to stop
at " College Station,'' on tlie Washington and Baltimore rail-
road, when convevance will be furnished to tlie Colleo;e.

COURSES OF STUDY.

To meet the wants of all classes of students, the Faculty,
under the direction of the Board of Trustees, have arranged
two courses of stndy in the regular College Department, one
of which must be selected by the student upon his entrance.

First. A four years' course of Arts, including Agriculture,
ordinary scientific and English studies, with Classics and Mod-
ern Languages.

Second. A three years' course of Science, which is essen-
tially the same as the preceding*, with the omission of the
Classics, and including- at least one Modern Lan<>;uai>:e and
additional branches of Mathematics.

Thirdly. To provide for those who contcjnplate passing

12

only a t^liort time at tlie College, tsiicli f^tudeiitrt will be allowed
to pursue a one year's course, arranged at the divseretion of the
Faculty.

Fiually, it has been deterniiued to make, for the future, no
eliarge for tuition in any of the regular Preparatory and Col-
legiate braiu^hes, and to put the charge for board so low as
to brino; the advantasies of the Colleore within the reach of
the farmers of Maryland and the adjoining States.

DISCIPLINE.

The discipline of the College is conducted in accordance
with the system of rules laid down in this catalogue, and such
others as the Faculty may from time to time prescribe, sub-
ject to the approval of the Board of Trustees ; and it is ex-
pected that all students will conform to these rules, and to
the proper authority of the officers in enforcing them, so long
as they remain connected with the Institution. For persistent
infraction of the rules, or any conduct unbecoming a scholar
or a gentleman, students will be liable to sus])ension, expul-
sion, or a request addressed to the parent or guardian that
they be withdrawn. After the expiration of a term of sus-
pension the student may return to his class upon passing the
necessary examination.

No student will ])e permitted to go with his class who fails
to pass satisfactory examination at the end of each term.
When, however, the deficiency is slight, and arises from a
cause not affecting his moral character, he will be allowed to
proceed upon condition of making up his deficiency and pass-
ing the requisite examination within a specified time.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

Every arrangement is nrnde as to rooms, wai'mth, lights,
lodging, meals, recreations, etc., tt:c., to make our students
contented, comfortable, and happy.

• 13

DIVINE AVOKSHIP.

The .students jire recjuired to attend religious exercises in
the Chapel morning and evening.

The Chapel will l)e o])en for service every Sunday.

MILITARY INSTRUCTION.

For the purpose of military instruction, as re^piired by law,
the students are organized into companies (the number of
companies depending on the number of students) on the basis
of the infantr}" organization. The military course consists of
stated drills, and lectures on tactics, tlie composition and or-
li'anization of armies. So much of tlie system of military
discipline as may be found necessary for the maintenance of
good order will be enforced. Students are required to Avear
a uniform wlieu in attendance on divine service, inspections,
parades, and (h'ills, and on sucli other occasions as may be
ordered.

VACATIONS AND TERMS.

'■p

The scliolastic yeai- is divided into two terms. There will
be but one resfular vacation, beo'innino- the last week of June
and closing the middle of September. There will also be a
short intermission at Christmas and Easter.

The first term will open on the 15th of September, and
close Avitli the month of January. The second term will begin
1st of Fel)ruary, and end with the College year, the last of
June.

STATE STUDENTS.

Bv the liberality of tlie Legislature, we are enabled to
receive sixty students, /Vy^^? of charye for tuition and use of
books. Tuition is now made free to all, but we will still
accord the free use of books to sixty students, ten from each
Cono-ressional district. Those who wish to avail themselves
of this privilege sliould apply to the President of the Board
