166 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Jan. 26,
apart specially for the Preparatory Department, and in that
way have these students under his immediate supervision,
and devote his whole time and attention to their wants ; ad-
ditional Tutors might be employed, and the Preparatory De-
partment still serve as an entrance to the College proper.
COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
The College having then (by the Legislative aid extended
by the Ac!' of "1866) at last reattained the actual proportions
of a College, with a full collegiate course of instruction or-

Bachelor of Aits upon its graduate"!, I would briefly specify
the subjects embraced in the course as fit present taught. ]t
consists of six departments :
I. Ancient Languages, incluiiing the Latin and Greek lan-

the history of Greek and Roman literature ;
II. Modern Languages, including the French and German
languages and literature ;
III. Mathematics, including pure Mathematics, Mechanics
and Astronomy ;
IV. Natural Science, including Natural Philosophy, Chem-
istry, Mineralogy and Geology, and the elements of Zoology
and Botany.
V, Mental, Moral, and Social Science, including Metaphy-
sics, Logic, Ethics, Natural and Revealed Religion and the
Evidences of Christianity, Political Economy and Constitu-
tional Law.
VI. History and the English Language and Literature, in-
cluding Ancient, Mediaeval, and Modern History, the English
and Anglo-Saxon Languages, and their literature, together
with a brief outline of Comparative Philology.

ject. The endeavor is made to attain such thoroughness in
'the course as the means at present at the disposal of the Col-
lege will permit, but a subdivision of some of the Professor-
ships, and an enlargement of others, especially of the scien-
tific branches, would greatly conduce to the efficiency of the
College.
ADDITIONAL PROFESSORSHIPS.
To make a first-class College, departments of instruction
must be enlarged and means must be expended for the necessary appliances of instruction. With respect to the former,
