No student can be received for less than one term; and all will be held responsible for their college-bills, whether present or absent, until regularly discharged from the University.

No student can have an honorable dismission, or a certificate of his progress in his collegiate studies, until his bills are paid or secured; and, if a student be absent two terms without a satisfactory adjustment of his bills, he will be dismissed, and his name will be so published in the next catalogue.

The safest way of making remittances from a distance will be in drafts, payable to order in New York or Boston.

READING-ROOM.

The Reading-Room, established by the college for the use of officers and students, contains an ample selection of newspapers, magazines, and reviews.

GYMNASIUM.

The Gymnasium is designed to provide all the students, subject to certain rules and conditions, with opportunities for exercise. It is furnished with ample and complete apparatus, both heavy and light, for gymnastic purposes.

LIBRARY AND APPARATUS.

The Library contains about 20,000 volumes..

The Library Fund amounts to $27,603.63, the income of which is devoted to the increase and improvement of the Library.

The Philosophical Apparatus is ample in the various departments of Mechanics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics, Optics, Acoustics, Electricity, Magnetism, &c.

The Astronomical Apparatus includes a refracting telescope of twelve-inch aperture, equatorially mounted, made by Alvan Clark & Sons, of Cambridge, Mass.; a transit circle by Troughton & Simms, adapted to extra-meridian observations, with azimuth and-vertical

circles of eighteen and twenty inches in diameter respectively, and graduated on silver to five minutes, with micrometer microscopes reading to seconds; an astronomical clock by Molyneux & Son, with mercurial compensation pendulum; repeating circle, sextant, &c.

CABINETS.

The Cabinets illustrative of the various departments of Natural History are quite extensive.

The FRANCKFORT CABINET, which forms a part of the Mineralogical Collection, contains a large number of very choice speci

mens.

The GEOLOGICAL CABINET has been recently enriched by the addition of a suite of Prof. Ward's casts of fossils. These casts are of great value for the purpose of instruction, affording the student a representation of many remarkable forms of ancient life, actual specimens of which are excessively rare or absolutely unique.

The SHURTLEFF CABINET, collected by the late SIMEON SHURTLEFF, M.D., is very valuable and important. It contains eight thousand species of shells, represented by eighty thousand specimens; about seven hundred birds; a very large collection of botanical specimens ; about a thousand coins; and other interesting objects.

The Cabinets are now arranged in the two upper stories of the Orange-Judd Hall of Natural Science; the lower hall containing the collections in Mineralogy, Geology, and Paleontology, and the upper hall, the collections in Botany, Zoology, and Ethnology.

Dr. Cressy's CABINET OF COMPARATIVE OSTEOLOGY, now deposited in the Orange-Judd Hall of Natural Science, contains a selection of crania and a series of osseous preparations mounted on blackboard, illustrating the general plan and special details of structure in the vertebrata. To this cabinet, additions of choice specimens will be constantly made.

GENERAL INFORMATION.

Parents and guardians are informed that daily bills are kept of the merit and demerit of each student; the former denoting the excellences of each in his recitations and other college exercises; the latter, the deficiencies and delinquencies of each in his several duties. The President will furnish an exhibit of these records in any particular case, when requested by the student or his friends. In cases where private and public admonitions have been given without effect, a statement of the bill of demerit will be forwarded to the friends of such delinquent scholars. This will be the last step of discipline preceding the final one of suspension or dismission. The discipline of the institution is eminently moral and paternal. No student guilty of gaming, drinking intoxicating liquors, or other vices, or who is habitually absent from his room, or disorderly, can be allowed to remain a member of the college.

The time appropriated to vacations is believed to be ample for the purpose of relaxation from study; and, in view of the unfavorable effect of all absences, either at the commencement or any other period of the term, upon the standing and proficiency of the student, the faculty earnestly request that parents and guardians will in no way encourage, or even sanction, such absences without very urgent reasons.

TRIENNIAL CATALOGUE AND OBITUARY NOTICES.

Obituary notices of deceased graduates of the University are published annually. All persons who can supply information appropriate to the future editions of the Triennial Catalogue or Obituary Record are urgently requested to communicate the same to the President, or the Professor of Latin.

ALUMNI RECORD.

At a meeting of the Alumni, a resolution was adopted requesting information from the Alumni relative to their residence, occupation, and also such other facts in their personal history as would properly be entered on the Alumni Record. Information relative to distant and deceased Alumni is solicited.
