this Institution, will be opened on the first of November. Pupils 
will however be received and temporarily accommodated on the

Elementary or Applied Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Metallurgy, 
and the terms of tuition will be as moderate as the nature of the 
case will admit, and proportioned to the requirements of the 
pupil.

Prof. B. Silliman, will commence on the 2d of October, at 12 M., 
and continue with five lectures each week until about January

Prof. Norton will commence a Course of Lectures on the Ap¬ 
plication of Science to Agriculture , in January, 1848. This course 
will continue about two months, and there will be four lectures 
in each week. The object of these lectures will be to give the 
Farmer or others, a clear and connected view of both science and 
practice in their relations to each other. Experiments will be 
given, when they are necessary, to the clear understanding of the 
subject. The fee for this course will be $10. 
Soils, rocks, minerals, metallic ores, and other substances, will 
be promptly analysed on moderate terms. 
Arrangements will be made by which pupils in these depart¬

instruction in science, in this institution, which are open to the 
public; and they can also have easy access to large libraries and 
scientific collections. New Haven is a place of easy access from 
all par s of the Union, and is the resort of nearly six hundred stu¬ 
dents in the various departments. Board and lodging are procura¬ 
ble on very moderate terms. 
Additional particulars will be promptly supplied on application 
by letter or otherwise to B. SILLIMAN, Jr.
