LECTURES DURING THE COURSE ON

Political Economy.

Intellectual and Moral Philosophy, and the Evidences of Chris

Candidates are required to furnish evidence of their good moral character, and if from another college, a regular dismission or letter of request.

Age.

Sixteen years of age are requisite to admission: the candidate enters, however, any class for which he is qualified.

Payment.

of

There are three terms of study in each year, and the expense each is paid in advance. Students unless from another college, entering the Sophomore class, pay $7.00; the Junior $9.00; and the Senior $12.00, which is the only retrospective expense incurred by entering in advance.

Guardian.

All moneys intended for the use of students are required to be transmitted to the College Register, who acts as fiscal guardian in their behalf, and transmits to each parent, at the end of every term, a detailed account.

Students boarding out of the Hall, and students remaining in vacation, incur an additional expense for board.

The expense for clothing and pocket money, will vary according to the economy of individuals. A student who remains in vacation, may, with strict economy, clothe himself and pay all his other bills, with less than $200.00. A student not strictly economical, and who travels in vacation, will require from $

to $

Rooms are assigned the students in the same edifices that are occupied by the President and Professors, and their respective families.

Instruction.

The classes are divided into Sections, according to attainment, or choice of studies, and the several Sections are instructed by the President and Professors.

Government.

The government is, for the most part, parental and preventive, and devolves on the President and resident Professors. Those students who do not cheerfully submit to it, are silently dismissed. No student is allowed to visit taverns or groceries; to be out of his room at night or to go out of town at any time, without permission; nor is any society allowed to hold its meetings at night.

Exercise.

Gymnastics and other athletic exercises are encouraged, and ample grounds are furnished free of expense, for those who prefer devoting their hours of recreation to agricultural pursuits.

Commencement.

Commencement is on the 4th Wednesday in July; after which there is a vacation of six weeks.

Vacations.

There are two other short vacations, the one sometime in December, the other in April. The Seniors have no additional vacations, nor are there any holydays. It is desirable that students should either return home, or visit their friends during the vacations. And when parents can not provide for this, the faculty should be apprized of it, that provision be made for their instruc tion and government at college.

Merit Roll.

An accurate and daily account of the delinquencies of every student, and also of the degree of his attainment, in conduct, scholarship and attendance, is kept, and the summing up of these items determines the place of each upon the Merit Roll; a copy of which items is transmitted to the parent.

Examinations.

A committee is annually appointed, who examine the several classes publicly, at the close of each term, and make a written report thereof.

IN SENATE,

February 5, 1833.

REPORT

Of the committee on canals, on the bill for the construction of the Chenango canal.

Mr. Van Schaick, from the committee on canals, to whom was referred the act which has passed the Assembly for the construction of the Chenango canal,

REPORTED:

That they have had the same under consideration, and are of opinion that it ought to become a law.

The immense advantages which the Erie and Champlain canals have conferred upon those sections of the country through which they pass, have increased the comforts and improved the condition of the people in an extraordinary degree. Other portions of the State are also desirous of acquiring similar benefits by the aid and patronage of the government. To none is any aid so justly due as to that secluded and extensive region which the Chenango canal is intended to traverse. Reasons of a paramount nature alone ought to induce the Senate to refuse its approbation of this enterprise. The spirit of improvement should not be unnecessarily repressed, by a too cautious policy; and the picture of a nation bound together by equal laws, by mutual benefits and a common interest, is too engaging and important to be disregarded in the estimate we may make of the value of this project.

Are not the counties that have petitioned for this work entitled to claim from us a proportionate share of the advantages which we are able to dispense, by a judicious application of the credit and resources of the State? It is not possible to neglect such con[Senate, No. 44.]
