Is situatcci in Prince George County, nine miles from AVasli-
ingtoii, twcnty-ciglit from Baltimore, and three-fourths of a
mile from College Station, on the Washington Branch, Balti-
more and Ohio ]\:iilroad. The College building, which is
spacious and substantial, is in thorough repair, lias fine
chambers, is well ventilated and wan/ •, lighted thi-ouirhout
with gas, and combines every requisite of a comfortable and
pleasant home. The location, which experience has proved
eminently licalthful, is on the edge of a handsonie forest
growth, and commands a fine view of the picturesque country
around it.

Seventeen trains (seven from AVashington, ten from Balti-
more) stop at the College Station every day, thus affording
convenient and speedy access to the Institution.

N. B. Persons coming to the College are notified to stop
at ^^ College Station," on the Washington and Baltimore Bnil-
road, whence conveyance will be furnished to the College.

At the coininencemoiit of tlic coming Session, ] 870-77,
tlie Matyland Agkicultuual College will be almost
free of debt. The Trustees liaving dcemcil it expedient to
increase and reorganize the faculty and reeonstruct the
course of study, so as to adaj^t tlic College more fnlly to
the present wants and requiremciits of tlie State, there will
be lienceforth :

3. A Chair of Civil Engineering and Astronomy.

2. A Chair of English Literature, Mental and Moral Thil-

osophy, and History.

3. A Chair of Matliematies.

4. A Chair of Physies and Ap})lied iMathematics.

b. A Chair of Agrieulture, Architecture and -Drawing.
G. A Chair of Chemistry and Xatural History.
7. A Chair of Ancient and Moderi) Lanif;uaircs.

This institutio]!, as will be seen from its extensive and
varied ''^course of study,'' supplies a manifest want of the
community. Those who have both time and means for a
thorough collegiate course will find here all the requisite
facilities for securing that end. Others whose circumstances
are different are not required to 2^iiisue studies that have no
inunediate and direct reference to the active business duties
of the future towards which they arc looking. All such are
provided with thorough instruction in those branches which
more particularly relate to the chosen vocation.

Each student will be required to j^ursuc in regular order one
of the courses of study prescribed by the Board of 'I'rustccs.

All the text-books of the course are furnished at the Col-
lege at statiorers' rates. Beneficiary students have use of
them free of coi^iy except in case of loss or damtige.

Farmers in the State desirina,- an analysis of Soils or Fer-
tilizers, are requested to send specimens to the Professor of
Chemistry. The work will be done witliout charge.
