SECRETARY'S REPORT. 237 



one being about the 18th of June, and of the winter one, the 

 18th of December. 



Charges. — Per annum, to be paid half-yearly in advance, 

 in-students, X90; out-students, £42. 



There are a few private rooms in the college, appropriated to 

 the students' use, for which there is an extra charge of X21. 



These terms include every thing, except medical attendance 

 and books. 



A quarter's notice of the intention to remove any student, 

 must be given by the parent or guardian to the principal, or a 

 quarter's fee will be incurred. Students residing, or having 

 their names on the books for any part of a quarter, will be 

 charged the fee for the whole quarter. The college quarter 

 days are January 6, April 6, July 6, October 6. 



The college diploma or certificate — which admits those holding 

 it to the position of graduate, under the title of member — is 

 granted only to those who, at their final examination, show 

 that they are thoroughly masters of the subjects of the various 

 lectures, and are, besides, well acquainted with practical agri- 

 culture. Nor is this, or any other certificate, granted to 

 students whose conduct has not given entire satisfaction to the 

 authorities. The names of the members appear in the pros- 

 pectus. 



Copies of a set of examination questions, on the subjects of 

 one session or half year, are also annexed. As these questions 

 are all taken from the lectures and practical instruction 

 previously attended by the students examined, they are well 

 calculated to show what is taught at the college. 



A scholarship of the value of .£40 per annum, and tenable 

 during three sessions, is given to the first man in each session. 

 Students who enter at the quarter are allowed to compete for 

 this, but are required to obtain for success five per cent, more 

 marks. 



It happened to be vacation when I arrived, and therefore I 

 had not the good fortune to see so much of the practical work- 

 ings of the college, as I should have been glad to have seen ; 

 still I visited the collections, the lecture rooms, the laboratory 

 and the farm, in company with Dr. Voelckerand Prof. Coleman,
