Every person applying for admission into the Seminary, must produce satis-

factory written testimonials, that he possesses good natural talents, and is of a

prudent and discreet deportment ; that he is in full communion with some

regular Church ; and that he has passed through a regular course of Academic

study ; or, wanting this, he must submit himself to examination in regard to the branches of literature usually taught in such a course.

When a student has been received under the care of a Presbytery, and has passed his examination on the studies usually pursued in College with approba-

tion, a certificate from the Presbytery declaring this fact, is received as sufficient to answer every requisition in regard to testimonials.

When a student, who has been connected with any other Theological Semi-

nary, seeks admission into this, he must produce' testimonials of his good standing, and regular dismission, before he can be received.

The proper time for entering the Seminary, is at the commencement of the

Seminary year, which begins on Thursday, August 26th. It is important that

students should be present at the opening of the Session.

The students, in addition to the use of libraries attached to the Seminary,

have access to that of the College, and on application to the several Professors,

of that institution, can have the privilege of attending lectures on Natural Philosophy, Chemistry and Natural History.

Gentlemen well qualified to teach the German and French Languages are resident here, and will give instruction in those branches to such students as

desire it at their own expense.

There is no charge made either for Tuition or Room-rent; but each student

))ays SIO per annum to the “ General Expense Fund,” the object of which is to defray the contingent expenses of the Institution. Students who may prefer rooming out of the Seminary building, can be accommodated in the village and vicinity.

Indigent students are aided either by the General Assembly’s “ Board of Education,” the “ American Education Society,” or the Funds of the Seminary.

The expense of Board in the Refectory varies from SI 45 to $I 75 per week. Board may be obtained in private families at from §1 50 to §2 50 per week. Expenses for Fuel from S 6 to $10 per year. Washing $8.

VACATION.

There is but one vacation in the year which commences the third Thursday in May, and continues fourteen weeks. • - ^v ‘ k
