TERMS   OF    ADMISSION. 


Candidates  for  admission  into  the  Freshman  Class  are  required  to 
write  Latin  grammatically,  and  to  be  well  versed  in  Geography, 
Arithmetic,  six  sections  in  Smyth's  Algebra,  Cicero's  Select  Orations, 
the  Bucolics,  Georgics,  and  JEneid  of  Virgil,  Sallust,  the  Gospels  of 
the  Greek  Testament,  and  Jacob's  Greek  Render.  They  must  pro- 
duce certificates  of  their  good  moral  character.  The  time  for  ex- 
amination is  the  Friday  after  Commencement.  Candidates  for  ad- 
mission into  the  other  classes  will  be  examined  also  in  the  books, 
which  have  been  studied  by  the  class,  into  which  admission  is  re- 
quested. Scholars  from  other  Colleges,  before  they  can  be  examined, 
must  produce  a  certificate  of  their  regular  dismission.  The  Geogra- 
phy to  be  studied  may  be  Morse's,  Worcester's,  or  Woodbridge's. 

N.  B.  Fisk's  Greek  Grammar  is  recommended,  and  also  the

the  writing  of  Latin  is  urged  as  essential  to  a  suitable  preparation
