80 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Jan. IT,
there being now one hundred and twenty-three names on our
roll, while a largo addition is expected for the spring term,
commencing February 1st, proximo. There are some urgent
wants of the College (hereinafter referred to) which, when
supplied, there is no reason why this seat of learning should
not number its students by hundreds
All the departments of the Institution are v/orking
smoothly and successfully, while the discipline of the" College,
and the thorough and extensive course of instruction are
such as to commend the Institution to the favorable atten-
tion of all who have sons or wards to be educated.
The moral, intellectual, social, and physical wants of
young men committed to our care are scrupulously and unre-

When a young man enters our College family he is expected
to conduct himself, not only with that earnest application be-
coming to a student and. a man of business, but also with
the propriety and decorum characteristic of the society of
gentlemen.
While the morals of students are conscientiously guarded,
(believing as we do that that system of education is fatally
incomplete that docs not properly develop and train the
moral feelings and sentiments) there is cot the least approach
to anything like interference with their " denominational"
preferences. In regard to political opinions, the same course
of non-interference is pursued. In the lecture room, and literary societies, as also in social intercourse, mere political issues
and questions are practically ignored.
The peculiar feature of this Institution is the blending of
instruction in the theory and practice of agriculture, with
