^ Pennsylvania College has now been chartered about fourteen years. Dur- i 

 I ing this time its progress has been such as to gratify the most sanguine expecta- \ 

 't tions of its friends. The course of studies is as extensive and substantial as that \ 

 ] of any Institution in the Country. The Preparatori/ Department provides for in- } 

 ( struction in all the branches of a thorough English, business education, in addition I 

 i to the elements of the Mathematics and Classical Literature. The College Course I 

 < is arranged in the four classes usual in the Institutions of this country. < 



\ The government of the students is as energetic as their circumstances seem to ] 

 \. require. They attend at least two recititions a day, Church and Bible Class on the \ 



■ Sabbath, and are visited in their room.= so frequently as to preclude the danger of s 

 ^ any great irregularities. It is believed no Institution in the United States has ; 

 ; more exemplary young men in connexi >n with it. They are all required to lodge ; 

 ? in the College Edifice, special cases excepted. ; 



The annual expenses are — for board, tuition and room-rent, during the winter; 

 , session, $'fil 87i : for the summer session, %i\ 87i. Washing, -S'lO 00 ; and Wood, 

 $;.3 00. Total expense, $116 75. Boarding can be obtained in town at $1 25 per 

 , week. ' 



; There are two vacations in the yecr, commencing on the third Thursdays of 

 ; April and September, each of five weel.s continuance. \ 



; The summer session commenced on the 22d of May, with the accession of over ; 

 ; forty new Students.
