1872.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 91
For, if these means and accommodations were furnished, in
connection with our present advantages of increasing pro-
ducts of an improving farm, the Board could well afford to
not only enlarge the corps of Instructors, but to make the
'rates for charges for tuition, board, &c., much loss than they
even now ore, and thus place the benefits of the College with-
in the reach of hundreds of citizens whose limited means
doom their sons to a scanty educational outfit. All this can
be done, and at the same time the standard of education shall
not only be maintained, but so enriched in its provisions as
to meet the wants and demands of the diverse circumstances
of the youth of our country—fixed in the preservation of a regular College curriculum for those who desire it, and yet suffi-
ciently varied and flexible in its range of instruction, as to
suit the reasonable wishes of all.
By this generous policy the State would reap a large har-
vest of results in the army of educated young men, who by
brain Labor and manly toil would develop her vast mineral,
"commercial and agricultural resources. I would respectfully
suggest, that the College has reached a point in her progress
when the Board will be justified in filling the vacant chair of
"Natural His ory," by the appointment of a suitable and
competent medical gentleman, who should be required to not
only search the branches appropriate to this department, but
also to give instruction in Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene,
and be, at the same time, Physician to the Institution. Such
a chair would be a popular and invaluable addition to our
course of instruction.
The law requiring that sixty students shall be educated
free of cost tor tuition ami text books, in consideration of the
annual State donation, has been complied with, and exceeded
by some fifteen or twenty; our aim being to extend the bene-
fits of the College as widely as is consistent with the
means at our command.
With the continued support of the State, and the intelli-
gent and energetic co-operation of its friends, it is believed
this Institution will attain a high and commanding position
as a seat of learning, and justify the wisdom of its founders,
and the generous liberality of the Commonwealth.
Respectfully submitted,
SAML. REGESTER,
President.
Which wag read, and referred to the Committee on Edu-
cation. *
