perfected.  The  particulars  cannot  be  announced  for  the  session 
1869-70,  though  the  faculty  design  to  render  the  room  in  some 
degree  available  to  the  students,  even  in  advance  of  the  com- 
plete organization  of  the  laboratory. 
Many  students  coming  to  Philadelphia  to  spend  a  winter  in 
attendance  upon  the  College,  are  desirous  of  occupying  a  portion 
of  the  time  in  general  self-culture  and  improvement,  for  which 
Philadelphia  affords  great  facilities.  The  Museum  of  the 
Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  will  be  open  to  members  of  the 
Class  on  Tuesday  and  Friday  afternoons — tickets  obtained  from 
either  of  the  Professors — and,  by  special  arrangement,  students 
interested  in  natural  history  may  obtain  the  other  facilities  of 
the  Academy  free  of  charge.  Private  instructions  in  ancient 
and  modern  languages  and  in  mathematics  may  be  readily  ob- 
tained, and  the  various  Commercial  Institutes  "  afford  facili- 
ties for  improvement  in  penmanship,  book-keeping  and  other 
useful  branches  of  knowledge. 
A  few  of  those  resorting  to  the  College  from  a  distance  can 
obtain  employment  on  moderate  salaries  during  attendance  upon 
it,  by  writing  to  Mr.  W.  C.  Bakes,  No.  800  Arch  Street,  who 
keeps  the  register  of  applicants  provided  by  the  College.  But 
a  small  proportion  only  of  these  can  obtain  suitable  situations, 
and  those  who  do  not  will  be  at  an  expense  of  from  $5  to  $8  a 
week  for  board.
