for five days in the week. The labor is designed to be as much 

 as possible educational, so that every student may become familiar 

 with all the forms of labor upon the farm and in the garden. In 

 the lower class the students are required to work on the farm, 

 and they receive compensation for their labor according to their 

 industry, faithfulness and eflSciency, the educational character of 

 the labor being also taken into account. The maximum amount 

 paid will be thirty cents for three hours labor. 



Military. Thorough instruction is given in Military Science 

 by a competent officer. The instruction extends through the 

 whole college course, and embraces personal, squad, company and 

 battalion drill. The students are enrolled in companies under 

 their own officers. Arms are furnished by the State. The uni-

 buttons or trimmings that attract attention. 



Farm and Buildings. The college farm contains three hundred

 chemical and mineralogical departments. 



Apparatus. The College is furnished with new and valuable 

 apparatus for the departments of Physical Geography, Natural 

 Philosophy and Chemistry, and for Surveying and Civil Engineer- 

 ing, to which additions will be made as the exigencies of the 

 several departments require. Models have been obtained from the 

 United States Patent Office, and others have been purchased, that 

 serve for purposes of instruction.
