Every encouragement is given to habits of daily manual labor during the College course. Only one hour of daily practice in the industrial departments is required; but students are encouraged to make use of other opportunities for adding to their ability and means. AJ1 labor at the College is under the direction of the Superintendents of the departments, and offers opportunity for increasing skill and efflency.

In regular weekly statements, the students are required to observe business forms and principles, showing trom their daily account when and where the work was performed. The labor of the students in the industrial departments Is principally a part of their education, and is not paid for unless tho student is employed outside of required hours of laborupon work for the profit of the College. Students are so employed upon the farm. In the gardens or the shops, and about the buildings. The labor Is paid for at rates, varying with service rendered, from eight to ten cents an hour.

The Superintendents strive to ad-Just their work to the necessities of students, and give them the preference in all tasks suitable for their employment. So far as practicable, the work of the shops and offices is turned to account for their benefit; and the increasing extent of the grounds and sample gardens brings more of such labor. The monthly pay-roil for the past year ranges from $377 to $450. Many students obtain work in the city or upon neighboring farms, and so pay a part of their expenses. Students employed in the shops are allowed to work somewhat for their own profit, in the manufacture of articles for sale and use.

In these ways a few students are able to earn their way through College. Tho amount so earned will vary according to the tact and zeal of the student. Tho majority must expect to provide by earnings outside of term-time, or from other sources, for the larger part of their expenses. Tho lonsr sum F. M.

Applicants for admission at the beginning of the College year, must be at least fourteen years of age, and able to pass a satisfactory examination in reading writing! arithmetic including percentage and interest, geography, and elements of English grammar. Those applying later in the term must show sufficient advancement to enter the classes already in progress. Every effort should be made to begin with the first of a term, in order to advance with classes from the first.

Applicants of mature age who, for lack of advantages, are unable to pass the full examination, may be received on special conditions. Applicants for advanced standing in the course must pass examination in all the Erevious studies of the class to be entered; ut, if they have pursued such studies In other Institutions of similar rank, they may receive credit for their standing in those institutions upon presenting a certificate from the proper officer, showing that their course has been equivalent to that given hero. BOARD AND ROOMS. No provision for rooms and board is made at the College. The students all find homes in families or in family boarding-houses, at rates varying from $3.00 to 4.00 a week for board with furnished room.

Lists of boarding-places, with prices and accommodations, can always be had at the President's office, and Btudents are required to notify the President of their rooms when selected. Society Hall, Oct. 20th. The Hamilton Society was callod to order by President Campbell. Roll-call.
