•iir&sneg"- I i HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE.

Centre College was chartered by the Legislature of Kentucky, in 1819. , D. D., the first President, went into office in 1823. In 1824, the Board of Trustees, according to an ar- rangement with the Presbyterian Synod of Kentucky, procured an Act

of the Legislature modifying its charter, so as to secure to the Synod,

on its payment of $20,000 to the funds of the Institution, the right of appointing the Board of Trustees. This condition having, in 1830, been completely fulfilled on the part of the Synod, all the members of the Board have, since that period, been appointed by the Synod, as

their terms of office, from time to time, have expired. One-third of the Board are appointed each year. Dr. Chamberlain resigned his office in 1826, and the Reverend , D. D., succeeded him in 1827, the office having, in the meantime, been temporarily filled by the Rev. David C. Proc- tor. On the resignation of Dr. Blackburn, in 1830, John C. Young, D, D., was elected. Dr, Young died in office June 23d, 1857, and on the 6th of August following, Rev. L. W. Green, D. D., was elected his successor, and entered upon his duties January 1st, 1858. Dr. Green died in office May 26th, 1863, and on the 15th of October fol- lowing, Rev. Wm. L. Breckinridge, D. D. was elected President. He accepted, the 29th of the same month, and immediately entered upon the duties of his office.

THE FUNDS.

The original amount paid by the Synod to obtain the right of ap- pointing the Board, was entirely consumed in the buildings, apparat-

us, library and current expenses, and in 1 830 the College was wholly destitute of means. Since that period, funds have been contributed by the liberality of various individuals, which, as invested by the Board in stocks of various kinds, and notes, form an endowment equivalent to about $105,000. The funds are annually increasing from legacies and donations. The Synod, at its meeting in Lebanon. ]858j authorized the Board of Trustees to make application to the Churches for the sum of $50,000, to be appropriated to the erection of addition- al -

§14 1I1~;0RY OF THE ( ( LLEGB. Jrlt § 5t? al College buildings, and for oth. r purposes needful for the full equip-

\${j ment of the College. This sum has been raised by subscription, through the liberality of the friends of the College, within the limits of the Synod of Kentucky. A large part of this fund has been paid in, and but for the unfortu- nate troubles of our country, a pew idiric would have been under

way, if not already completed. A plan for a building has been adopted

by the Board of Trustees, and a committee a, Lined to superintend ;

its erection, who are only waiting until it shaiJ aj ear to be safe and j economical, to go forward with their work.

The Library erected by the liberality of D. A. Sayre, has been cc m"

pleted and is now in use.

ADMISSION.

Candidates for admission into any Department of the Institution

are e: amined by the Faculty, and placed in the class which they are prepared to enter. Candidates for admission into any particular class, must stand an

examination on all the course \ reviously pursucu by the class. But

students desiring to pursue some special branch of si d\\ are permit-

ted to enter any class for which they are found prepared, subject,

however, to the direction of the Faculty in the amount of study re- quired—which shall always be equal to that of the regular students.

In all cases, the candidate is required to present satisfactory testi- monials of his moral character and standing in the institution which

he Jatt attended.

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION AND DISCIPLINE.

The recitations of each day are opened with the worship of God, in

the Chapel, and religious instruction is given, through the study of the Holy Scriptures, to all the classes, on Monday of each week, in- stead of one of the ordinary recitations. These services, together

with the public preaching of the Gcepel, all the students are expected

to i tlend—unlets specially excused from any of them.

BOARDING AND EXPENSES.

The students do not board and lodge together but in private fami- lies; in which they enjoy the advantages of Christian societv, and ttf til3^J^ .^g^^^ —

§ ; | fift are thus preserved from many temptations. No fixed rate of Board- ing can be stated, there being constant variations, corresponding to the varying prices of provisions. During the current year the pre- vailing rates were about $6.00 in the town, and from $4.00 to $5.00

in the country. This includes, room, furniture, and fuel.

Tuition is $50.00 per annum, and must be paid semi-annually in advance. Those who enter two months after the session has com-

menced, are charged in proportion to that part of it that may re- main. Young men of limited means, preparing to preach the Gospel

when suitably recommended, pay no tuition fee. The sons of Pres-

byterian Ministers, also, are admitted to all the privileges of the Col-

lege, without charge for tuition.

A contingent fee of $5.00 annually for Janitor's hire, fuel in College

Kooms, &c, is required of all.

EXAMINATIONS.

There are two public examinations of all the classes—one in the middle of the college year and another at the close—held before a committee of the Synod, and conducted by each professor in his own

department. These examinations are either oval or written , or both com- bined, and are designed to test thoroughly each student's knowledge of the studies of the session.

The final examination of the graduating class is held four weeks before the close of the session, in the presence of a committee of the Synod.

LITERARY SOCIETIES—LIBRARIES.

There are two Literary Societies connected with the College. They hold public exercises on the 22d of February, and on the Wednesday

preceeding Commencement, each year. The number of volumes in their libraries amounts to about 3,500. The College Library contains over 2,000 volumes.

COMMENCEMENT—VACATIONS. The session opens on the second Monday of September, and contin- a ues, with a recess during the Christmas Holidays, until the last

Thursday of June, on which day the annual Commencement is held. m f*#ss*sg< HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE i LOCATION OF THE COLLEGE.

The College is located in Danville, in the centre of the State. This

town, which is also the seat of the Danville Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church, of the State Institution for the education of

the Deaf and Dumb, and of two nourishing Female Schools, is easily reached by public conveyances, as well as by private travel, from ev- ery part of the country.

PREPARATORY SCHOOL.

It is the intention of all concerned in the immediate management of this Institution—while they offer a thorough and liberal course of instruction in the College classes—to take care that a like School of Primary instruction be maintained under their general supervision. The course of instruction will be strictly adapted to the prepara. tion of young men for the Freshmen class in Centre College. Young men partially prepared for one of the College classes, but needing additional instruction in some special branch, can receive this in the Preparatory Department without any additional charge.
