It is designed to meet the wants of those who wish to prepare themselves for the labors of the Press as Editors of Publishers, or as Teachers in the higher institutions, or for the transaction of public business. The large liberty allowed in the selection of the special studies of his course will permit the student to give such direction to bis education as will fit him fully for any chosen sphere or pursuit. The Library is well supplied with works illustrating the several periods of English and American Literature. The several departments of science, also, are provided with a good supply of the works of the best authorities and with a constantly increasing apparatus and cabinets.

This course, though not modeled upon that of any other institution, is equal in value to the courses prescribed in our best colleges. Students wishing to take only the English studies and modern languages, may be admitted with the general preparation prescribed for candidates for other courses, but those who wish to take the Latin or Greek language, must come thoroughly prepared in the usual preparatory course in those branches. *lhe work of this Professorship is, for the present, performed by other Professors.
