    ADMISSION. Candidates for admission to the University must produce satisfactory testi¬ monials of good moral character, be fourteen years of age, and sustain before ■one or more of the Faculty an approved examination in the following studies:— Common Arithmetic, Elements of Algebra, Elements of Ancient and Modern Geography, English, Latin and Greek Grammar, and be able to translate with facility Jacob’s Greek Reader, and six books of Homer’s Iliad ; Jacob’s Latin Reader, Sallust or Gsesar’s Commentaries, Cicero’s Select Orations, and Virgil. The authors here mentioned are preferred ; but the amount of knowledge will be regarded rather than the particular books from which it has been acquired. For admission to an advanced class, a corresponding increase of age is required, and a thorough knowledge of the studies that have been pursued by such class. Those who propose to pursue a partial course of study will be examined in those studies which are necessary to a successful prosecution of the proposed course. The regular seasons for the admission of students into the University are on the day preceding Commencement, and that preceding the first day of the Autumnal Term. The parents or guardians of such as become members of the University, or the students themselves, are required to pay to the treasurer the first term bill in advance, and to give bonds for the payment of the succeeding bills, or to pay them respectively in advance. Students entering advanced classes are also re¬ quired to pay an amount equal to one half of the back tuition, unless they are from other colleges. COMMENCEMENT AND VACATIONS. Commencement is on the first Wednesday in August. There are three vaca¬ tions,— one of four weeks from Commencement ; one of eight weeks from the first Wednesday in December; and one of one week from the second Wednes¬ day in May.
