J OHN; b~1t I am persuaded that all her ::;ons and those having charge and trust within these walls should find in snch a name so sacred and significant, the source of an honorable pride and the stimulns to a noble ambition. St. John was t he first and greatest of Christian philosophers. Like the eagle, by which he is symbolized in all ecclesiastical literature, he soars aloft into t he hi ghest regions of thought, and with undazzled eye looks upon the very centre and source of all celestial light. T lwough diction sweet and simple almost as that of a child, he unfo lds the deep things of a wisdom as sublime as it is profound . T he unseen heavenly t rnth::; that absorbed his whole inner beiug were mirrored in pu rity and loveliness upon his character and life. St. John therefore ::;tands as the representative of everything noble in the intellectual, the contemplative, and the spiritual. By bearing his name, than which our Alma Mater could bear none more honored and befitting, this College is engaged to impress upon her scholars the living and undying characters of a philosophy which, fo unded upon t he essential principles of truth, reaches beyond earth, sky, and Heaven, up to the uncreated One, and finds ' its response in t he innermost clept hs of the soul of man. In an age when as yet science in its physical depart ments had no distinct existence, St. John, with his k een perceptions and eagle insight into th e Divine and human I therefore 'in compliance with these instructions · take pleasure in adding that ·ts .. .

Apart from these questions, certain it is t hat ~e have to deal with modern society, with what the past has made it, and with the mighty and pervading elements that are at work to mould it, and retard or advance its pl'ogress towards the practical and happy solution of those problems, deep and multiform, which lie at the basis of our whole modern social structure. I am convinced that there are no influences, outside of religion and yet intimately connected with all religious belief, more powerfully at work than those which modern science, as popularly taught and systematically set forth, is exerting upon the thought, the culture, and the activity of the present age. It is to this subject, the tendencies of modern science, that I invite the attention of the distinguished and learned body before which I stand, and of this audience that <!Oncentres in itself the intelligence, the beauty, and the refinement of a city that any son ol' daughter of Maryland may be proud to claim as his birthplace. And if it seem presumptuous in one who can lay no claim to any fitness to discuss such a theme, especially in this presence, I can only plead the remembrance of those counsels, to be ever ready for any service, however feeble, in the cause of truth and sound education, received from that venerated man at whose feet in these halls it was my privilege to sit, whose high culture of mind, vast and varied learning, dignity of bearing, and noble devotion to science, literature, and religi0n, rendered him not unworthy of any position which such qualities are requisite to sustain and adorn, and whose mantle it is no light praise to say has fitly descended upon him* who now occupies the chair once and so long filled by Hector Humphreys. No one can fail to note the intensity and perseverance with wh ich the human mind is now pushing its r esearches into the minutest and remotest realms of all knowledge. These researches al'e constantly discovering new facts in the constitution of the universe, and are bringing the discoveries to bear directly upon all points of human Lelief and all matters touching the progress of human society. S ince the time of Francis Bacon, who by his *Pres ..J. C. W elling. I,. • �VIEWED IN TIIEIR RELIGIOUS ASPECTS. 6 THE TENDENCIES OF MODERN SCIENCE; mighty genius gave the first impulse and the new method and direction to scientific study, the investigations have taken the most varied and extensive range, and have everywhere been rewarded with laurels of success. Never before in the history of mankind have the results in any departments of study been so astonishiug as they have been in the physical sciences. In fact, these sciences have progressed so far that they now claim to deal not only with material phenomena, but with the higher questions of life, mind, society, history, education, and the deepest mysteries of creation. In the " battle of the philosophies" Physics has triumphed over Metaphysics. The old Stagirite master has been dethroned from that royal supremacy which for centuries he had held. New sciences have arisen; new questions have been started; new issues have to be met. The whole current of human thought touching old matters of settled belief threatens to be changed. Modern science, like another Pallas, springing fullarmed into life, steps forth, points everywhere to the trophies of her conquest, and claims that all men shall rise up and do her reverence. So intimately and essentially indeed are scientific principles and facts now involved in all branches of human industry and pursuit, in manufactures, in agriculture, in commerce in navigation, in the agencies of warfare, in all modes of inter~ communication and locomotion, in resthetics and the fine arts, and in the problems of political economy and social progress, that it is impossible to be educated up to the level and the spirit of the age without some considerable knowledge of those principles and facts. They are becoming more and more extensively studied and investigated. Science, simplified and familiarized, is introduced into our common schools and academies. Popular treatises upon it abound. Magazines are full of it. The lecturer takes it to the remotest country village. Governments are occupied with it, and are making the most liberal provisions for the vigorous prosecution of its researches. In fine, institutes and museums, richly endowed and furnished with most extensive apparatus and laboratories, have sprnng up in all parts of the civilized world, and not least here in our own country. Thus it has come to pass that modern science, by her accumulated stores of new facts, by her enlargement of the sphere of human knowledge, and by the wonderfql adaptation of her dis- • 7 . and advantages of life, has acquired coveries to the practical uses . cl Physical studies are bever the human mm . •t a master-power o l d nd rosecuted.

Thus in the popular mind ideas of utility and of material advantage become so thoroughly associated with physical science, that the spiritual as beyond the range of sense-perception loses its true value in the ordinary life, and is supposed to be without evidence of reality. It is therefore ignored and set aside for that which seems more real, and is regarded with doubt, suspicion, aud at last skeptical unbelief. It may indeed be asserted that nothing is grander and more ennobling than the triu111ph of mind over matter as illustrated in physical science, that nothing is calculated to give us more lofty , conceptions of the unseen and mighty powers of nature than when they are represented as working ever under what is called necessary and immutable law. Unfolding beauties and wonders indeed are everywhere and in everything to be seen. For God has made the world as wonderful in its beauty as it is complicated in its parts and ~tructure. From the pollen of the tiny lily to the mightiest orb of the heavens, in whatever microscope can reveal or telescope bring near, there are the lines and shades and colors of the beautiful, as well as those infinite adaptations and contrivances which in all things proclaim the power, wisdom, and glory of the great Creator. Indeed, this ve~'Y element · of the beautiful in the constitution of the universe stands as one of the unaccountable things which science cannot reach or explain. But the question is not with what feelings of admiration we should contemplate the natural worhl, nor what would be the effect of a proper study and just presentation of natural science, but what practically is the effect upon the popular mind of such knowledge as is imparted in popular treatises and lectures, wherein for the most part the thoughts are concentrated upon the material and the useful, and nature herself is vested with attributes of Deity. Nay more, in the enthusiasm with which physical str,dies are recommended by the advocates of modern science, it is gravely asserted that om· whole modern civilization has been the product of modern science; that the great advances made, especially within the last half century, in education, culture, and everything that is comprehended under the term civilization, have been the results of scientific discoveries and their application to the uses of life. But herein the true order of things is reversed. Modern science with all the improvements to which it has led has 2 �10 nm TJ;;NDENC!ES OF MODER.N SCIENCE; been the outgrowth, not the cause - the offspring, not the parent, of our advanced civilization. It is not to any one cause or set of causes that we are to ascribe that multiform and complex state of things around us which we call modern society. Many agencies and influences have been at work in a long series of years to brin(J' • • 0 it to its present stage of advancement. Science has been one of the concomitant results of that progress. As in society deep wants were felt, so physical science came more and more into being, and experiments were directed to meet these wants. Sometimes by happy accident, sometimes as the reward of long and patient study, the most important discoveries have been made. So rapid and extraordinary of late years have been these discoveries, .e~peeially cf the application of steam as ~motive power, of electricity and magnetism for the communication of thought, of new modes of warfare by land and by sea, of chemical combinations as applied to the arts and uses of li.fe, of the spectrum analysis, of photography, of physiology, of the conservation and correlation of forces - so great and varied have these been as to constitute the present age one of remarkable and unprecedented scientific progress. But these have all successively followed upon the advancemeut of modern civilization, and are the outgrowth and results of its awakened life and energy. They react indeed to give additional stimulus and zest to modern improve- . ments; but the just claims of science do not require us to put that as the cause which is fairly to be reckoned as the sequence in the history of modern civilization. "\<Vhen, however, the mass of men become imbued with the conviction that everything which gives to modern life its advantages over the past and its prestige for the future is to be attributed to physical science, they will give to it an unreasoning predominance over all other studies and pursuits, and receive without discrimination, as alike established and true, both the facts and the theories of modern science. Now a wide distinction ·is to be drawn between the practical and the theoretical divisions of science. "\<Ve accept the facts of science, all of them, so far as they are proved to be facts; for as so proved they are as certain as the evidence of sense an~ reason can render any knowledge. "\<Ve deem the study and systematic arrangement of those facts in their relations connexions ' and bearings, of immense importance and of the greatest practical VIEWED IN THEIR. REJ~IGIOUS ASPECTS. 11 utility. It is this that constitutes trne science, which differs from cOn1 mon knowledo-e si mply in the fact that it is extended and 0 . systematized knowledge of material phenomena, differing. not in nature and kind but in degree from that common experunental knowledge which one must have to preserve his life and promote his comfort for a si ngle day. To t he practical labors of the zooloo-ist the chemist, botanist, the geologist., the astronomer, too mucl~ e1;couragement can scarcely be given 1 By their investigations they have laid bare such a multitude of facts in the constitution ancl operations of the natural world as to fill us with au ever-increasing wonder at the boundless and ever-widening field s of knowlP-clge before the human mind. 'Vhile we extend all honoi· and admiration to the noble band of men who with such acuteness and patient research have sought to penetrate the mysteries of nature, and while we gratefully accept and take just pride in t he actual results of their labors, we cannot be too cautious and discriminating in the reception of theories based in part on assumptions of supposititious facts lying so far removed from the sphere of man's investigation as to rendet· any positive determination concernin(J' them impossible. It is from such theories, as commonly set for~h and recei vecl, that men conclude that science and religion are antagonistic. In the popular mind the facts and the theories are indiscriminately blended together. 'Vhile the conclusions of science are received as absolute and certain, the postulates of rel io-ious belief are reo-arded as in conflict with these conclusions. 0 0 Hence, what I term unconscious skepticism on the part of the mass of men results. It is a seer misgiving as to all religious truths, scarcely admitted or expressed, but surely terminating in that skepticism so deplorably prevalent in the present age. But when we turn to the consideration of that decided antagonism which, in the opinion of so many scientific and cultured men , exists between science and revealed religion, we are forced to recoo-nize it as one of the most painful facts in the development of m~dern science that there should seem to be this conflict between the two. This result is partly to be ascribed to those bold and startling positions of which I have spoken as assumed of late by scientific men, and partly to the way in which both the facts and the theories of modern science have from time to t ime been met hy theologians and the defenders of Christianity. �12 VIEWED IN TI-IE TENDENCIES OF MODERN SCIENCE ; Revealed religion has nothing to fear from sciencer Sure and immovable is the basis on which her divine verities rest. Increase of knowledge and lapse of time shall only make more manifest her stability and her glory. For revealed religion, no less than science, is founded on facts, true and certain ; and there are other facts in man's nature and in the universe than those material ones of which physical science takes cognizance. All true philosophy must not only recogni ze but be based upon the real composite structure of our being, the material, the intellectual, and the spiritual. From the failure to do this results the chief dangerous tendency of modern science, which takes hold of one element of our being and cultivates that at the expense and to the exclusion of all others . It deals with the uni verse and with man- simply as presenting so many material phenomena to be investigated, and as fact after fact is discovered it is assigned to its supposed place with its antecedent and consequent connections; thus classified and ordered, ignoring and rejecting all other agencies, everything is brought under the control of self-acting and perpetually evolving material forces, which are indestructible and yet convertible and correlative, working ever according to necessary and immutable laws. From such positions as these no other impression can be received than that, somehow in the indeterminable ages of the past, things have wrought themselves up into their present condition ; and that if there be a personal GoD at all , He stands away back of those endless millions of years when the first primordial and self-developing seed sprang into existence. If.th e ideas. of GoD and religion are to be a<ilmitted into this system, they must stand apart from this unchangeable order and succession . There can be no place found for them in such a conception of the universe. True, indeed, the non-existence of GoD and of the human soul, and the impossibility of any supernatural proofs of a Divine revelation, are not in so many words positively asserted; but if the mere theories and speculations referred to are to be. received as established facts, it is hard to find where and how the religious beliefs are to come in. For if you are to reduce all things to material forces and immutable laws, you of necessity exclude the spiritual and religious idea, and the supernatural becomes a contradiction and an impossibility. Thus these conclusions referring all things to impersonal forces, and either reducing the 'IIIEIR RELIGIOUS ASPECTS, rt Or excludin<F him altogether from OUr D eity to an imperson~ I y en t'. ly· ~aIT to satisfy the requirements f ti mverse ne i: • conceptions o ie u ' l the very instincts of his nature IS • of man ' s na t t ne .

The universal convictions of mankind and the facts of a constant experience are to go for something. vVe are as much bound to take the facts of mental phenomena into our philosophy as the material facts of the outer world. There is a world of thought, of reasoning intelligence, of spiritual being, as well us a world of inorganic and organized matter. Into the mystery of the origin of life and mind no human science can penetrate. The greatest naturalist of the age has pronounced it impossible to solYe it. You may trace the beginning of life to a simple cell, lmt you have not solved the mystery. You may locate the seat of the intellect in the brain, and undertake to show how the mental characteristics are modified by the cerebral structure and its convolutions, but you have not proved that a material organization, however complex and perfect, can originate rational consciousness and voluntary activity. You have indeed shown the complexity and ingenuity of the machine, but you have not demonstrated that it is self-acting, self-originating, and self-developing. It still remains only a machine, and the motive power still remains to be accounted for. JTurther, in the regular ascending gratlation which you may traoe from the lowest form of animal life, where the action is sim reflex, as in the radiata and the mollusc, up to the highest most complex organism of the adult man, there are no facts stress upon the word ~ no fcicts to show that any one of 'I �16 'l'HE TENlJENC!ES OF :MODERN SC!ENCE; gl'e:lt classes of the animal kingdom evel· passes by any transmutation or development into another, or that life and intelligence are the product of self-evolving material causes. Now it is this effort to prove that for which from the nature of the case there can never be sufficient testimony, that vitiates all works of science which are opposed to religious belief. Admitting then the whole series of new facts, so far as they are facts, which of late years have been brought to light, there yet remain to be seal'ched into the deeper depths of things unknown. Great as may be .her advances, modern science cannot claim to have reached the Ult:ima Thide of all knowledge and discovery in the natural world. The very ardor with which investigatious are now being pushed in all departments shows that the acquisitions of the past are ohly serving to give stimulus to inquiries which it is instinctively felt will be rewarded with new successes; and these new discovel'ies mocli(v, change, and set aside much that was before regarded as settled and established. In science as in practical life we are as continually unlearning as learning. Almost every day witnesses new discoveries, new advances. As the new facts come up, the old theories have to be discarded. The discovery, for example, during the present age of the correlation and conservation of forces has entirely changed the views of scientific men respecting heat, light, electricity, magnetism, and motion. In geology, also, new facts are constantly being disclosed ; but the evidence is too fragmentary and imperfect to enable us to form any complete and certain history of the world; and our conclusions and conjectures can only at the best be probable, perhap:: not that. The same may be said with equal justness of the nebular hypothesis and the development theory. Thus science is ever changing. This onward advance necessitates continually the abandoi1ment of old theories and the formation of new ones, and makes it impossible for science t~ pronounce definitely concerning the constitution of the universe, the genesis of stars and worlds, the origin and nature of life. It is in the highest degree irrational and unscientific to base upon uncertain and changing theories such positive assumptions as to require mankind to abnegate the convictions and the beliefs founded upon the acknowledged facts of e mr intellectual and spiritual being, and upon historical proofs of the most conclusive character; and as this is done by scientific men with a ,. .

He perceived the grand truth, not even yet fully recognized, tpat true science must cleave steadily to facts -no divergence, no imagination, no abstract terms, no wild speculation. And as induction is the method of discovering and utilizing facts, so he proclaimed induction as the method of science. With a fearless voice whose E;lChoes shall never Cease nor be needless, he warned h.is own and all future ages against the real adversaries of true science, against meaningless or wrong-meaning terms, ·and against all imaginative theories and systems. Let modern science, so far as she has departed from these great essential principles of a sound philosophy, return to the true system of all real scientific investigation; and while she searches into the profoundest mysteries of the natural world, let her bow with reveren~e and devotion before those higher and diviner truths which revelation unfolds concerning GoD and man, and all things created; and h~r future glory in her true sphere will be as great as her conquests in the past have been triumphant. We look with anxious yet eager longing to the future. The interests of hunfanity and the cause of truth alike require that science and religion shall go hand in hand in the great work of ameliorating the condition of the race. Science fails and is powerless to satisfy the real wants of man's nature. Religion must come in with her Divi11e consolations and hopes, and reveal to the soul a glol'ious destiny of immor't ality and blessedness. Let the two be conjoined to benefit and bless mankind. Let the philosophy taught in our academic halls recogn ize the claims and respective spheres of each; and as human knowledge progresses, parallel with it and ever sanctifying it will be that knowledge which comes from above, and is above all because it raises man up to GoD, the one source of all true light. _Never did human heart so pulsate under the celestial influences of the Truth Divine, and never did human eye so rapturously gaze npon its radiant glory, as did the heart and eye of him from whom our Alma lVIater takes her name; and may she ever reflect the bright beams of that Light which shined upon St. John with such a halo of beauty and glory.

Its buildings, three in munber, are large and ·well cons-tnwtcd for the accommodation of youth. Its grounds afford ample faeilities for exercise, .and ~he waters of the Severn for bathing ancl boating. The situation is eminently healthy. Annapolis has mil road comunmications with Baltimore and Washington twice a day; daily steamboat communications ·with Baltimore, and telegraphic connections with all parts of the country. f.foius.e of Study. The Preparatory Department of the College has two classes, entitled 1st and 2nd, according to the grade of studies. Students of the 1st Preparatory Class, who pass a satisfactory examination, are qualified for admission into the Freshman Class of the College. The Collegiate Departmeut emlmwes three courses: 1st, The reo·ular Academic Course, occupying four years, and pursued inl':> the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes, entitling the O'raduates of the Senior Class, who shall pass a sat" isfactory examination, to the d~gree of. . Ba~helor of_ Arts. 2nd The Select Course, embracmg studies m the different clas~es according to the option of parents, and entitling the studen~ who shall coinplete the course and sustain a satisfactory examin~tion in any special study, to the degree of Proficient in that study. 3rd, The Post-Graduate Course, prescribed for students who aspire to the degree of Master of Arts, which is conferred only on such graduates of the regular academic course as shall pursue for two years, at the College or elsewhere, a course of study assigned by the Faculty, and who shall furnish satisfactory evidence of their proficiency in said course, by submitting to the Faculty, at designated periods, such written theses as may be specifically Tequired of each candidate for said degree. The degTee of Master of Arts is not conferred in coitrse, but only on the evidence of satisfactOTy attainments in advanced studies. A course of instmction in military tactics and exercises js open to all students ·who voluntaTily assume the duties of the military organization. In this department there are two classes. The members of the first class wear a uniform and constitute the military companies proper. The members of the second class, though organized into companies, are not required to wear a uniform, but are exercised in such portions of the U.S. Tactics and free gymnastics, as 1vill promote their physical development, and make them desirable candidates for admission into the first class. The military exercises have been suspended during the present session. Vocal and Instrumental Music and Drawing are taught at special charges, on terms arranged between students and .the Professors of Music and Drawing. Tim.e and T.e:rrns 0-f J-drnission.

In this depa.;rtment instruction will be given1st. In HiStory.-A thorough knowledge of Greek and Roman history is believed to be the basis of all .historical study, and these will first be carefully learned. This will be followed with a general outline of history, after Gibbon, from the accession of Commodus to the fall of Constantinople. After this the history of the Middle Ages will occupy the attention of the student, which will be succeeded by as extended a notice of modern European and American history as the limited time will permit. During the latter portion of the course an effort will be made to trace the causes which have combined to produce the present state of modern civilization; 2d. In the English and Anglo-Saxon Lctnguages and their Literature.-Under this head the art of Cqmposition and Rhetoric will first be studied, with frequent exercises in written · composition and declamation. The history of English literature will then be taken up, and the lives of authors studied in connection with' specimens of their_ writings, which will be criticised in class. .A.fter this the English of the Elizabethan age will be made a subject of study, and the most marked - - - - - - - ---------- - - - - - - - · - - - - - - - - - - - - - i Ii i �,~ ,- ·---·----------·---·-·--·-----·-·--------- ··---·------~ C£RCULAR OF ST.

Finally, the- Anglo-Saxon language will be carefully studied, and in connection with it lectures delivered on the origin and history of the English language, and on the Comparative Grarn:mar of the Teutonic languages, free use being made of the valuable works of March, Marsh, Heyne and Helfenstein, and an outline given of the classification of languages, particularly the branches and subdivisions of the Indo-European family, and of the general principles of Comparative Grammar, after Schleicher and manuscript notes on the lectures of Prof. George Curtins, of Leipzig. and the principles, on which they are founded, the whole, as far as possible, illustrated by experiment, and accompanied with instruction in manipulation. 5th. In JJ£ineralogy and Geology-of which sciences a general survey will be taken after completion of the course in physics and chemistry. In the course above sketched the Professor will endeavor ' first, to educate the mental faculties of pupils, training them to compare, to generalize, to ascend inductively from facts to principles, to descend deductively from principles to facts; second, to impart such knowledge of its subjects as all liberally educated persons should possess; third, to make it sufficiently thorough to indicate whether any pupil has such natural taste and aptitude for the study of any one of its branches, as should induce him to make its pursuit his special avocation. During the present session a separate Professor has been appointed for this department, and the studies of the several classes have been so arranged as to make· instruction in the sciences a prominent part of the Collegiate course. Additions will from time to time be made to the philosophical apparatus, and every effort used to make the laboratory and cabinet as complete as possible.

Any student whose examinations at the close of a yeat shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with advantage the st11dies of the class to which he belongs, will have offered to him on the first day of the next year an opportunity to retrieve his lost position, and in default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. A merit-roll is kept and each recitation noted on the grade of from 0 to 5. Demerits will be given for absences and for violation of College regulations. Reports respecting conduct and scholarship, including all absences from College exercises, will be sent every two months to the parents or guardians of the students. Whenever any student of the Collegiate Department has 100 demerits for any one term, or 150 for the year, or any student of the Preparatory Department has 125 demerits for any one term, or 200 for the year, he must leave the Institution. On admission each student is required to sign a pledge on his honor to obey all the laws of the College, so long as he shall remain a member of it, and whenever any student can no longer cheei·fully comply with College rules, he is expected to comply with his pledge and leave the Institution. All students are required to be present promptly on the opening day of the session, and no student will be permitted to leave the College while College Exercises are going on, except in case of urgent necessity, ai1d at the written request of his parent or guardian. ,The attention of parents and guardians is specially called to these regulations, and their co-operat~on earnestly·requested.

Each of these Scholarships entitles the holder, in whose name it is issued, to exemption from the payment of room rent and tuition fees, if, on examination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or College. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the_ scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State ~s entitled to six of these Scholarships, which are filled by the School Commissioners of each District ; and in case more than six shall he nominated from any District, the Faculty will select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the· rules and regulations of the College. In addition to tuition and room rent, the College authorities engaO'e during the coming year to furnish board in the College· Com~ons, (including fuel, lights, washing and text-books,) to all incumbents of State Scholarships at the rate of $200 per :mnum, payable in admance, in semi-annual instalments of $100 at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year.

JoHN's COLLEGE was established by act of Legislature in November, 1784. The year following, the King William School, established at Annapolis about 1704, was incorporated with it, and ,on 1st ~arc?, 1786, Annapolis was selected as the site of the College. fhe Inst1tut1on was opened on November 11th, 1789, and we are told that "the dedication was performed with much solemnity, all the public bodies being in attendance and forming a long procession from the State ~ouse to the College Hall." 'fhe cha1'ter of St. John's provides that "the said College shall be founded and maintained fo1·ever, upon a most liberal plan, for the benefit of youth of every religious denomination," and authorizes certain specified agents, among whom are clergJ?l_en of the ~oman Cat;10l_ic, Episcopal a:nd ~resby­ terian Churches "to solicit and receive subscript10ns and contributions for the said intended College and Seminary of universal learning, of any person or persons, bodies politic antl corporate, who may be willing to promote so good a design." Private subscriptions to the amount of £10,000 were collected, and " to provide a peiwianent fund for the further encouragement and establishmei;i.t of the said College," the Legislature enacted that "the sum of £1750 current money ($4,666.66) be annually and forever hereafter given and granted, as a donation by the public to the use of the said College." Established on such a liberal basis the College, under Dr. John McDowell as Principal, discharged its duty faithfully and efficiently :until ~806, se~ding forth yearly as her alumni young men, afterwards promment ~n the history of Maryland and Virginia. In January of that year the Legislature, by a majority of only eight members, saw fit to withdraw the annuity, and the Visitors and Governors were compelled to announce the temporary suspension of the College. In 1807 Rev. Dr. Judd was chosen Principal, and in January, 1812, $1,000 of the annuity were restorec'., but this was unequal to the maintenance of a College. A lottery granted m 1821 added $20,000 to the funds and enabled the College to continue in operation. The Rev. Dr. Davis served as Principal from 1820 to 1824. and Rev. Dr. Rafferty from 1824 to 1831. In 1831 the late Rev. Dr. Hector Humphreys was appointed Principal, and by "his persevering efforts and perso~al influenc~ :vith the members of the Legislature," in rf\sponse to a memorrn~ of the yisitors and Governors, that body in 1833 added $2,000 to the anmuty, PT?.v:ided the ~oar~ of Visitors and Governors should agree to accept the same m full satisfaction of all legal or equitable claims they might have, or be supposed to have, aO'ainst the State." Glad to obtain even this small amount, and anxious to p~event a suspension of the College, the BoaTd consented, and "the deed of release was executed and entered upon the Tecords of the Court of Appeals." At the same time the Governor of the State, President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Delegates, and Judges of the Court of Appeals were made e.v officio members of the. B9ard, thus indelibly i::ffixing to the .College the character of a State Institiitwn. In 1823 a committee of the Legislature was appointed to visit the College, in whose report we find the foll?wing statement: " The prosperity of St. John's College _is deemed a subject 9f .g~·eat importance, so that the youth from every portion of the two grea:t divis10ns of the State may convene with the well-grounded assurance of bemg ab;e ~o ,acquire a liberal education, and :i-t th~ sam~ time, consumm::te the patrio~c anticipations of the charter.-It is believed m no way can this parental aspiration be so well realized, as by sustaining on a liberal scale a SeminaTy of Learning at the seat of legislation." The comi;riittee furtl~er recommend raising money by subscription and remark: "It is an expechent res~rted to by many flourishing seminaries of learning in distant States, to which our own citizens have liberally contl'ibuted, whilst the unpretending chaTacter of this Institution has shrunk froni resortjng to so familiar and legitimate a mode of obtaining assistance. The authority and policy of such a measure are urged on the consideration of the Visitors and Governors, and earnestly commended to the public." Encouraged by these marks of legislative approval and support, the Visitors and Governors authorized and Tequested the Principal to collect subscriptions fol' the eTection of additional buildings, and for the Library and Philosophical apparatus, and appointed a committee to co-operate with him in carrying this resolution into effect. It was proposed to collect $30,000, about $11,000 of which were secured, and in June, 1835, the corner-stone of Humphreys Hall was laid, with imposing ceremonies, and an address from a distinguished alumnus 'of the Colleg~. From this time on we have lists of graduates for each year, except '43, '45, '48, '51, and '54, until 1855, when the College was reorganized, and in the same year Pinkney Hall was erected. Two years afterward, the veneTated and esteemed Principal, Rev. Dr. Humphreys, died, and the Rev. Dr. Nelson was chosen as his successor, under whose administration the College continued in successful operation until 1861, when its exercises were suspended. To understand the present position of the College, a brief statement of the efforts of the Visitol'S and Governors to recover the appropriation granted by the charter "annually and f01·ever," is necessary. In the yeal' 1859 the Board of Visitors and Governors, believing that the act of 1806, withdrawing the appropriation, was a violation of chartered rights, and therefore null and void, after obtaining the consent of the Legislature, submitted to the Court of Appeals the following points for decision: "(1) Whether the annual appropriation of the act of 1784 constituted a contract on the part of the State which could not be legally repealed by the act of 1806. (2) Wh13.ther this last act was not a violation of that section of the Constitution of the United States which declares that 'no State shall pass any law impairing the obligation of contracts;' and (3) Whether the act of 1784 constituted such a contract as would, if entered into between individual citizens, be binding upon them." All tltree of these points were itnanimously decided by the Court in favor of the College. The Visitors and Governors then, believing that their predecessors in 1833 had transcended their powers, and relying upon that provision of the charter which declares that "in case at any time hereafter through oveTsight or otherwise-any ordinance should be made by the Visitors and Governors contrary to the tenor of this charter-it should be null and void," brought suit to recoveT the withheld appropriation, but the Court held that the Visitors and QovernoTs could not avoid the release given in 1833, and the suit was decided against them. Without resorting to the Court of final appeal, the Supreme Court of the United States, the Visitors and Governors addressed a memoTial to the Legislature in 1866, in response to which that body restored the aITearages of the annuity of $3,000, suspended from '61 to '66, and appropiiatecl an additional sum of $12,000 per annum for five years, from 1st June, 1868. With this restored annuity, the buildings which had been occupied as a hospital during the late war, were put in thorough repair, and DT. Henry Barnard, of Connecticut, late Commissioner of Education, was elected l'rincipal, by whom the College was reopened in September, 1866. On his resignation the following summer, Dr. James C. Welling, now Professor of Belles Lettres in the College of New Jersey, was chosen Principal, and the College opened the following autumn with 115 students. Before the close of the next session the BoaTd of Visitors and Governors, in anticipation of the increa~ed annuity, passed an ordinance esta.blishing. one liitndred and .fifty State sclwllt1'Bltips, each scholarship entitling the holder to "exemption from the payment of room-rent and tuition fees in . any department of St. John's College." The Board also entrusted the privilege of making these appointments to the Boards of School Commissioners in the several Counties, and placed the charge for board, fuel, lights and washing at as low a rate as they could possibly be furnished. Soon after the close of this session, in August, 1868, an earnest "Appeal to the people of �24 CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. -----~--------·------- --- --------- -- Maryland" was issued liy the Board, reciting liriefiy the history of the College, the efforts made to olitain a restorntion uf the annuity and their result, the recent est:1blishment of this system of State scholtuships, and the extraordinary advantages thus presented to the youth uf Maryland for obtaining a liberal education, and appealing for support to the people at large. 'rhe following session opened with a much larger m1mber of sLudents, and the College has for the p:1st four years educated on an average more than 160 students each year, liut several vacaneies have still existed in the number of State scholarnhips, and the people of the State do not seem to have heartily embraced these advantages, greater, we firmly lielieve, than those afforded liy any literary Institution in the United Sti1tes. This appeal failed, however, to elicit contributions of money, books, or appa.rntus, which were requested, and a similar appeal issued by the Board in Novemlier, 1870, met with a similar response. 'rhe interest of the people uf the State does not seem to have been awakened in St. John's College, and they have not regarded it as their first literary Institution, and taken pride in supporting and developing it. It is lielievecl that St. Joh n's College has claims to lie su regarded, ancl deserves the patronage and liberal support of the people of Maryland. In the present sketch may lie seen some account of the tanly and yet insufficient justice, which it has met with at the hands of the Ll;gi;;lature, and notwithstanding this, in the Catalogue prefixed is exhibited the position to which it has attained by the rnlief afforded. A full Collegiate course, taught by competent instructors, has been organized, and a senior class is enrolled this session for the first time in ten years. It is nu reproach to the College that it has not clone more, but it is rather surprising that it has done so much, for after the close of the late war, it ·was necessary to build it up anew from the very beginning. 'rhe College still has, however, many wants to lie supplied, vd1ich cannot be met liy the State appropriation. It needs money iur mlditi01rnl Prolessors' houses, for the endowment uf <1clc1itional profossornhips, especially another scientific professorship, in order to develop and extend its scientific course, for the endowment of scholarships as prizes of a noble ambition, for improvement of its liuilclings <md groumls, and last, but by i10 means least, for its Library, C<-iliinet, and Philosophical Apparatus. 'l'he Uollegc was founded, in part, by subscriptions; this method of raising money was recommended liy the I,cgislature itself in 1833, and successfully adoptell, and it is now proposed to make no longer a paper appeal, as these have been tried and failed, but a personal a.ppeal through the Principal and Vice-l)rincipal to the friends of education in the State. It is hoped tlrnt the above sketch will suffice to interest ancl inform them tis to the grournls on ;\·hich the Uollegl~ asks for their support, and that it may nut ask iu vain. The substantial basis of a first-cllts.s literary Institution is here, and it needs liut money, ancl time for its development, to speedily attain this position. .i'\faryland has long neccled such an Institution, and has now the uppmtunity, at comparatively slight expense, of creating it. Let then each parent lint determine, if he can clo no more, at least to send his sons to St. J olm's College, where they can be educated at much less east than at any similar fostitution outsille of the Jinnts of the State; and let those who are able, contribute liliernlly to its support, and it will soon attain a position of w hieh the tltate at large nrny be lJroml, and remove the Jong-standing reproach, that the sous of Maryland must ue sent beyond her borders to obtain their education. /( I I 1.\ I I _ I- - - - - - - - ·--- ---~-- ~-- - - - -- • '.< � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

No student will be permitted to discontinue any study, except at the close of a term, and then only at the written request of his parent or guardian. Students who do not study Greek will be required to study French or German, and those who do not study either Latin or Greek, will be required to study both French and German. These languages will be commenced by such students in the First Preparatory Class. The studies of students of the Second Preparatory Class who do not study the Classics, will be so arranged that their time will be fu11y occupied. Students of the regular Academic Conrse are required to study either French or German during the Junior and Senior years. For classical students below the Junior Class, the lfrench and German languages, and the course in Book-Keepin~, are elective studies. Apparatus for Gymnastic exercises has been recently erected, and regular hours of exercise assigned for each class. The use of the Gymnasium is granted on payment of a small fee.

PRINCIPAL. The departments of History and the English Language and Literature, and of Natural Science, having been recently reorganized, the following outline of the courses in these departments is appended: DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, AND LITERATURE. In this department instruction will be given1st. IN HrnToRY.-A thorough knowledge of Greek and Roman history is believed to be the basis of all historical study, and these will first be carefully learned. This will be followed· with a general outline of history, after Gibbon, from the accession of Oommodus to the fall of Constantinople. After this the history of the Middle Ages will occupy the attention of the student, which will be succeeded by as extended a notice of modern European and American history as the limited time will permit. During the latter portion of the course, lectures on Modern History will be delivered. 2d. IN 'l'HE ENGLISH .AND ANGLO-SAXON LANGUAGES AND THEIR LrTERATURE.-Under this head the art of Composition and Rhetoric will first be studied, with frequent exercises in written composition and declamation, and a thorough analysis . of the grammatical strncture·of the language. The history of English literature will then be taken up, and the lives of authors studied in connection with specimens of their writings, which will be criticised in class. After this the English of the Elizabethan age will be made a subject of study, and the most marked points of difference between Elizabethan and modern English noted and commented on. Finally, the Anglo2 �18 Circular of St. John's College. Circular of St. John's College. Saxon language will be carefully studied, and in connection with it lectures delivered on the origin and histOTy of the English language, and lectures introductory to the Comparative Grammar of the Teutonic languages, an outline being given of the classification of languages, particularly the branches and sub-divisions of the Inda-European family, and of the general principles of Comparative Grammar, aft0r manuscript notes on the lectures of Prof. George Curtius, of Leipzig. 5th. MINERALOGY AND GEOLOGY-of which sciences a general survey will be taken after completion of the course in Physics and Chemistry. As extended a treatment of these subjects will be given as is possible in the time allowed. In the course above sketched the Professor will endeavor, first, to educate the mental faculties of pupils, training them to compare, to generalize, to ascend inductively from facts to principles, to descend deductively from principles to facts; second, to impart such knowledge of its subjects as all liberally educated persons should possess; third, to make it suffieiently thorough to indicate whether any pupil has such natural taste and aptitude for the study of any one of its branches, as should induce him to make its pursuit his special avocation., The studies of the several classes have been so arranged as to make instruction in the sciences a prominent part of the Collegiate course. Additions will from time to time be made to the philosophical apparatus, and every effort used to make the laboratory and cabinet as complete as possible. ContributiO'ns for illustration of any of the branches of this department will be thankfully received. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE. In this de]:Jartment instruction will be givenlst. IN ZooLOGY-viewing the animal kingdom as a whole, observing the types of organ<; which, variously modified, pervade the genera, classes, families and branches, in which existing and extinct animals are arrayed, and taking a general survey of comparative anatomy and physiology. 2d. IN BOTANY-comprehending the anatomy and physiology of plants, and their classification, according to the natural and artificial methods, &c. 3d. IN PHYSICS-examining the fundamental laws of force and its products, motion and equilibrium, and the application of these, first, to the action and reaction of masses-solid, liquid, and gaseous-embracing mechanics, hydrostatics and pneumatfrs; second, of molecules, el)'.l bracing light, heat, electricity and magnetism, in their relations to physics; third, to the interaction of molar and molecular forces embracing "the correlation and conservation of forces," the whole applied to the explanation of the phenomena of nature and combinations of art. 4th. IN CHEMISTRY-comprehending the laws of heat, electricity, and light, in their chemical relations; a description of the elements and their important compounds, binary and complex, their properties, classification, laws of union and separa- · tion, and the theories (atomic and others) by which these arc explained; the chemical nomenclature, symbols and notation, and the principles on which they are founded, the whole, as far as possible, illustrated by experiment, and accompanied with instruction in manipulation. 19 POST-GRADUATE COURSE OF STUDIES. The Post-Graduate Course of Studies, extending through two years, and pursued at the College or elsewhere, is assigned by thfl Faculty to candidates for the degree of Master of Arts. This course will.relate mainly to open questions in all departments of physical, literary, philological, or speculative inquiry, and theses in each will be prescribed to candidates according to the current aspects of science and investigation in the most interesting branches of human study and thought. In the assignment of such theses regard will also be had to the favorite studies of the individual candidate, that the spirit of original inquiry in each may be duly encouraged. Candidates for this degree are required, within three months after graduation, to select at least two of the departments of ·study specified in this Catalogue (pp. 16, 17), and under the direction of the Professors in these departments to pursue their �I -2_o_ _ _c_ir_c_u_Za_r_o_if_S_t._J_o_h_n_s_~_o_z_ze_g_e_._ _ __ 1 Circular of St. John 1 s College. 21 I studies for the two years of the Post-Graduate Course, submitting to them such essays, or undmgoing such oral or written examinations, as may be required to test their q nalifications for this degree. EXAMINATIONS, REPORTS, CONDUCT. Written examinations on the studies of the entire term are . I held at the close of each term. The marks for these examina- I tions are combined with the marks for daily rncitations, to make up the student's standing for the term. Any student whose examinations at the close of a year shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with advantage the studies of the class to which he belongs, will have offered to him on the first day of the next year an opportunity to retrieve his lost position, and in default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. .A student deficient in knowledge or persistently neglectful of any study, is at any time liable to be reduced to a lower class in that study. .A merit-roll is kept, and each recitation noted on the grade of from 0 to 5. In order to pass from a lower to a higher class, each student must obtain an average of at least 2.5 each on his recitations and on his examinations for the .Academic year. Demerits will be given for absence and for violation of College regulations. Reports respecting conduct and scholarship, including all absences from College exercises, will be sent every two months to the parents or guardians of the students. Whenever any student of .the Collegiate Department has 100 demerits for any one term, or 150 for the year, or any student of the Preparatory Department has 125 demerits for any one term, or 200 for the year, he must leave the Institution. Each student is required to obey all the laws of the College, so long as he shall remain a n;i.ember of it, and whenever any student can no longer cheerfully comply with College rules, he will be required to leave the Ins.titution. All students are required to be present promptly on the opening day of the session, and no student will be permitted to leave the College while College exercises are going on, except in case of urgent necessity, and at tlie written request of his parent or guardian. The attention of parents and guardians • is specially called to these regulations, and their co-operation earnestly requested. . They are al8o earnestly solicited, on the occasion of liolirlays, not to detain students at home beyond the time allotted for suspension of College exercises. St1tdents absent for any cause except protracted sickness, will be marked zero on all recitations made during their absence. When the cause of absence is satiifactorp to the Faculty, they will be allowed to make up the omitted recitations. DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES. The following Academic Degrees ·are conferred by the College: The Degree of Ma8ter of Arts, conferred after completion of the Post-Graduate Course of Studies. The Degree of Bachelor of Arts, conferred upon students of the Senior Class who shall obtain an average of 3. 75 on all the studies of the Senior year. The Degree of Proficient, conferred upon Students of the Select Course, who shall complete the course and obtain an average of 4 in any special study during the last year of the course in that study, and upon students of the reO'ular .Academic Course in any elective stully, in which they 5shall complete the course and obtain a like average. The Degree of Distinguished Proficient is similarly conferred upon any student who shall obtain an average of 4.5 in any special study. Certificates of Distinction of the Ffrst and of the Second Grade are presented on Commencement Day to those students in nn.r Class who shall have obtained an average of 4.5 and of 4 respectively in all their studies and in Conduct for the .Academic year.

Any contributions of books or funds for the Library will be gratefully acknowledged. 22 . PRIZES. I. Early English Tewt Society's Prize. The Early English Text Society of London, through F. J. Furnivall, Esq., Director, has added this College to its liet of Institutions authorized to award the Society's Prize for proficiency in English of or before the time of Chaucer. The prize eonsists of some of the rnprints of the Society's publications for the year 1864, or 1865. II. Society of Alumni Prizes. The Socitty of Alumni has offered for the present year the following Prizes, viz: . 1. Two Prizes of the value respectively of fifteen and ten dollars to the two members of the Writing classes who shall have made the greatest improvement in Writing during the year. 2. Two Prizes of the value respectively of twenty-five and fifteen dollars to the two members of the Junior class who shall obtain the highest f:;eneral average in all studies. 3. Two Prizes of the value respectively of thirty and twenty dollars to the two members of the Senior class who shall obtain the highest general average in all studies. The Prizes for the Junior and Senior classes are limited to students of the regular Academic ccurse and will not be awarded· to any Student who may have failed to receive an average of 2.5 in any one study. LIBRARY. The Library of the College consists of about 4,000 volumes, the use of which is permitted to the students under certain regulations. Through the liberality of the Legislature of 1872, and donations from the Classes of '71, '72 and '73, large additions have been made to the Library; and, by means of the regular Library fees, subscriptions have been made to a large number of American and foreign periodicals. A complete library being an indispensable auxiliary tQ the intellectual advancement of Professors and students, the claims of the College Library are commended to the Alumni of the College, and to the LITERARY SOCIETIES. There are two Literary Societies (the Philokalian and the Philomathean) among the students, which afford opportunities for the cultivation of composition and debate. An oration is usually delivered before these Societies on the day preceding Commencement Day, by some gentleman selected by them. SOCIETY OF ALUMNI. The Society of Alumni h<3lds its annual meetings on Commencement Day, on which occasion an oration is delivered by one of its mern hers. All former students who have completed their collegiate education at St. John's College, and left in good standing, are c·onsidered members of this Society. It numbers on its roll many names prominent in the history of the State. PUBLIC WORSHIP. I 1 . The exercises of each day are opened with prayer in the College Hall. All students are required to attend public worship on Sundays at such church as their parents or guardians may direct, and to abstain from whatever is inconsistent with a due observance of the Sabbath. The principles and duties of the Christian Religion will be constantly enforced in the teaching and in the discipline of the College, but no instruction whatever is given, or influence exerted, in the interest of any particular 1lenomination of Christians. TERMS AND VACATIONS. The Annual Commencement of the College takes place on the first Wednesday in July. The College year begins on the third Monday in September and ends on the first Wednesday in July. The year is divided into two equal terms. The regular vacations extend from the first Wednesday in July to the third Monday in September; and from the 23d of December to the first Monday in January. The 22d of Feb- �Circular of St. John's College.

Wilful damage will be made the ground of additional charge to be defrayed by the perpetrator. EXPENSES. The charge for the entire scholastic year, beginning on the thifd Monday in September, and ending on the first Wednesday in July, is STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR TUITION. $275.00 This amount covers all the ordinary College expenses except for text-books, and must be invariably paid semi-annually in advance, that is $137.50 at the opening of the first term in Septamber, and $137.50 at the opening of the second term, on the 15th of February following. No deduction will be made, except for protracted absence caused by sickness. Students not holding Scholarships which entitle them to both board and tuition free, are required to furnish their own rooms. Board at special rates, in clubs, may be had on terms arranged between parents and the manager of the boarding department. The boarding-house will be closed during the Christmas and Summer vacations. Books and stationery will be furnished at the lowest possible rates, and disbursements made for personal expenses of students, if funds shall be deposited by parents for this purpose, but no advances will be made by the College. The tuition fees of students who reside in Annapolis are as follows: In the Preparatory Department, for each term, payable in advance $30.00 In the Collegiate Department, for each term, payable in advance · 45.00 The extra charges are as follows: Seat in Church, per term 1.50 Library Fee 5.00 Use of Gymnasium 3.00 Diploma of Proficient, at graduation 5.00 Diploma of Bachelor of Arts, at graduation 10.00 A deposit of $5 is made at the opening of each year by stu- A system of one liundred and fifty State Scholarships has been founded by the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John's College on the annual donation received by the College from the State. Each of these scholarships entitles the holder, in whose name it is issued, to exemption from the payment of the room rent ar:d tuition fees if, on examination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or Colles;e. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State, is entitled to six of these scholarships, which are filled by the School Commissioners of each District; and in case more than six shall be nominated from any District, the Faculty will select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the rules and regulations of the College. In. addition to tuition and room rent, the College authorities engage during the coming year to furnish board in the College Commons, (including fuel, lights, washing, and text-books,) to all incumbents of State Scholarships at the rate of $200 per annum, payable in advance, in semi-annual instalments of $100 at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year. Books furnished to the holder of a State Scholarship, if damaged or lost, will be charged to him at their full cost. · In order to secure greater efficiency to the College and a 1. higher appreciation of the State's liberality, it is recommended to the Boards of School Commissioners to make these Scholarships the rewards of competitive examinations, and to grant certificates to none who are not fully qualified to enter the Preparatory Bepartment of the College. The College has suffered heretofore from lack of preparation on the part of these appointees. 1 �z6 Circular of St. John's College. STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BOARD AND TUITION. The general Assembly of the State, (Acts of 1872, ch. 393) has provided for furnishing board, fuel, lights, and washing, to two of the six incumbents of State Scholarships for tuition from each Senatorial District in the State, to be appointed by the Board of School Commissioners, by and with the advice and consent of the Senators in their respective Districts, after competitive examination. These Scholarships are tenable for four years, and the incumbents are required to give bond and security in the sum of $750 that they will teach school within the State for not less than two years after leaving College. To obtain a full Collegiate education, the object contemplated by the Act, candidates should be prepared to enter at lm1st the Freshman Class of the College, although, if no candidates sufficiently well-prepared present themselves, they will be received into the Preparatory Department of the College. They are required to pursue the regular Academic Course in order to qualify themselves for teaching hereafter. The Boards of School Commissioners are earnestly requested to exercise great care in the selection of these students, and especially to appoint none deficient in preparation. These Scholarships are now all filled. At the close of the present session there will be one vacancy from each of th.e counties of Anne Arundel, Cecil, Prince George's, Garrett and Queen Anne's. COLLEGIATE SCHOLARSHIPS. The following regulations have been made by the Board of Visitors and Governors for the establishment of Scholarships in connection with the College : For a permanent Scholarship for· tuition, $1000. For a· permanent Scholarship for board and tuition, $3000. For a Scholarship for the tuition of a student through all the College Classes, $250. For a Scholarship for the board and tuition of a student through all the College Classes, $800. For any other Scholarships the sum reduced shall be in the same proportion, the money in each case to be paid in advance into the treasury of the College. The establishment of these Scholarships is earnestly commended to the attention of the Alumni and friends of the College. TO THE PEOPLE OF MARYLAND. In sending out the Catalogue of the Ninth Session since the reorganization of ST. JoHN'S COLLEGE, the Faculty would earnestly commend to the people of Maryland the advantages presented by the College for the attainment of a thorough and liberal education. The location of the College makes it easy of access from all portions of the State and its situation has been often commented on as peculiarly suitable for a Literary Institution. The Departments of Instruction are fully organized and in complete working order, and the Course of Study will challenge comparison with that of most first-class Colleges in the land. The effort is constantly made to raise the grade and improve the methods of instruction, and the amount of work done and results attained are not inferior to those of Colleges elsewhere. The liberality of the Legislature of 1872, has enabled the College to add largely to its Library and Philosophical Apparatus, so that the facilities for scientific study have been greatly increased. Especially noticeable artl the extremely low terms charged [two hundred and seventy-five dollars] for tuition, room rent, board, fuel, lights, and washing-terms· much less than those of Colleges in other States,' and altogether insufficient to maintain the College but for the liberal assistance granted by the State. In return for this assistance, when it was :first received with no conditions attached, the Board of Visitors and Governors established one hundred and :fifty scholarships, (six for each Senatorial District in the State,) entitling the holders, appointed by the Board of School Commissioners of the District, to exemption from payment of fees for tuition, room-rent and use of text-books-thus limiting the charge for board, fuel, lights, and washing, for these students to two hundred dollars. Means were also provided by the Legislature of 1872, for making :fifty of the scholarships (two from each Senatorial District) free of all charge for board, fuel, lights, and washing, under certain conditions specified in the 'preceding Circular. · These are the great advantages which the College presents for the attainment of a Collegiate education by even the poorest who are properly qualified to avail themselves of them. Such are unable to go beyond the borders of the State, and can thus obtain a liberal education at their very doors. And will those who are able to send their sons to the well-known Coileges of other States refuse their patronage to ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, and thus neglect the opportunity now and here afforded of building up a College, already the equal of many of these, and which, by proper support from the people of Maryland, may in time become the rival of any Institution in the land? A sufficient amount is annually drained from the State by sending her sons abroad for an education which may be obtained at home, to place this College above all wa,nt. Will the people neglect the literary advantages presented here, and go elsewhere for a similar education at greater cost? �CALENDAR_ 1875.

JOHN'S COLLEGE, founded in the year 1784, and endowed by the State of Maryland, is pleasantly situated at Annapolis, on the banks of the Severn River, a few miles from the Chesapeake Bay, which is in full view. Its buildings, three in number, are large and well-constructed for the accommodation of youth. Its grounds afford ample facilities for exercise, and the waters of the Severn for bathing and boating. The situation is eminently healthy. Annapolis has railroad communications with Baltimore and Washington twice a day; daily steamboat communications with Baltimore, and telegraphic connection with all parts of the country. COURSE OF STUDY. The Pre~aratory Department of the College has two classes, entitled 1st and 2nd, according to the grade of studies. Students of the 1st Preparatory Class, who pass a satisfactory examination, are qualified for admission into the Freshman Class of the College. The Collegiate Department embraces three courses: 1st, the regular Academic Course, occupying four years, and purs~e~ in the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes, entitling the graduates of the Senior Class, who shall pass a satisfactory examination, to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. 2nd, the Select Course, embracing studies in the different classes, according to the option of parent;, and entitling the students, who shall complete the course and sustain a satisfactory examination in any special study, to the degree of Proficient in that study. 3rd, the Post-Graduate Course, prescribed for students who aspire to the degree of Master of Arts, which is conferred only on such graduates of the regular Academic Course as TIME AND TERMS OF ADMISSION. The regular examinations for admission into the College or t.he Preparatory. Department, are held on the Monday and Tuesday preceding the first Wednesday of July, and on the third Monday and following Tuesday of September in each year. All candidates for Satisfactory admission are required to be present on those days. evidence of good moral character must be furnished by each applicant, testimonials of former teachers preferred, and if he comes from another College, he must present a certificate of honorable discharge. Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, in order to obtain admission to the Freshman Class, must, unless they have passed through the regular course in the Preparatory Department, sustain an examination in the following studies: English Grammar; U. S. History; Ancient and Modern Geography ; Arith· metic; Algebra to Quadratic Equations; Geometry, first book; Hadley's, Goodwin's, or Kiihner's Greek Grammar; Greek Reader; Xenophon's .Anabasis; Harkness's, Gildersleeve's, or Allen and Greenough's Latin Gramm;ir.; C::esar's Commentaries, or some equivalent: Sallust; Virgil; Latin and Greek Composition.

No student will be permitted to discontinue any study, except at the close of a term, and then only at the written request of his parent or guardian. Students who do not study Greek will be required to study French or German, and those who do not study either Latin or Greek, will be required to study both French and Germa~. These languages will be commenced by such students in the First Preparatory Class. The studies of students of the Second Preparatory Class who do not study the Classics, will be so arranged that their time will be fully occupied. Students of the regular Academic Course are required to study either French or German during the Junior and Senior years. For classical students below the Junior Class, th~ French and German languages are elective studies.

The departments of Histqry and the English Language and Literature~ and of _Natural Science, having been recently reorganized, the followmg outlme of the courses in these departments is ap· pended: DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. In this department instruction will be given~ .,' COURSE OF INSTRUCTION. The Course of Instr.uction embraces the following departments : I. II. ,, ., 'i :1., ANCIENT LANGUAGES-Including the Latin and Greek languages, Greek and Roman Antiquities and Mythology, and the History of Greek and Roman literature. Prof. DASHIELL and Ass't-Prof. HOPKINS. MODERN LANGUAGES-Including the French and. German languages and literature. Profs. LEROUX and HOPKINS. III. MATHEMATICS-Including Pure Mathematics, M~chanics and Astronomy. Prof. JOHNSON. IV. NATURAL SCIENCE-Including Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Mineralogy and Geology, and the elements of Zoology and Botany. Prof. CLAUDE. 1st. IN HrsTORY.-A thorough knowledge of Greek and Roman h~s~ory is belie".ed to be the basis of all historical study, and these w1I. _first be. carefully lear~ed. This will be followed with a general outlme of history, after Gibbon, from the accession of Commodus to the fall of Constantinople. After this the history of the Middle Ages will occupy the attention of the student, which will be succeeded by as extended a notice of modern European and Americ an . h1story as the limited time will permit. 2d. IN THE ENGLISH AND ANGLO·SAXON LANGUAGES AN~ THEIR ~ITE~ATURE.-Under this head the art of Composition and Rheton_c_ will first be studied, with frequent exercises in written com_pos1t10n and declamation, and a thorough analysis of the gramm~t1cal structure of t1!e language. The history of English literature w_ill then ~e taken up, and the lives of authors studied in connection with specimens of their writings, which will. be criticized in class. After this the English of the Elizabethan age will be made a subject of study, and the most marked points of difference between Elizabethan and modern Engl~sh noted and commented on. Finally, the Anglo-Saxon language will be carefully studied,- and in connection ,,I �,......--- ' 22 OIRODLAR OF ST. JOHN'S OOLLEGE. CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. with it lectures delivered on the origin and history of the English language, and lectures introductory to the Comparative Grammar of the Teutonic languages, an outline being given of the classification of languages, particularly the branches and subdivisions of the IndoEuropean family, and of the general principles of Comparative Grammar, after manuscript notes on the lectures of Prof. George Curtius, of Leipzig. As extended a treatment of these subjects will be given as is possible in the time allowed. In the course above sketched the Professor will endeavor, first, to educate the mental faculties of pupils, training them to compare, to generalize, to ascend inductively from facts to principles, to descend deductively from principles to facts ; second, to impart such know ledge of its subjects as all liberally educated persons should possess ; third, to make it sufficiently thorough to indicate whether any pupil has such natural taste and aptitude for the study of any one of its branches, as should induce him to make its pursuit his special avocation. The studies of the several classes have been so arranged as to make instruction in the sciences a prominent part of the Collegiate course. Additions will from time to time be made to the philosophical apparatus, and every effort used to make the laboratory and cabinet as complete as possible. Contributions for illustration of any of the branches of this department will be thankfully received. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE. In this department instruction will be given1st. IN ZOOLOGY-viewing the animal kingdom as a whole, observing the types of organs which, variously modified, pen·ade the genera, classes, families and branches, in which existing and extinct animals are arrayed, and taking a general survey of comparative anatomy ar;id physiology. 2d. IN BOTANY-comprehending the anatomy and physiology of plants, and their classification, according to the natural and artificial methods, &c. 3d. IN PHYSICS-examining the fundamental laws of force and its products, motion and equilibrium, and the application of these, first to the action and reaction of masses-solid, liquid, and gaseous-embracing mechanics, hydrostatics and pneumatics; second; of molecules, embracing light, heat, electricity and magnetism, in their relations to physics ; third, to the interaction of molar and molecular forces, embracing "the correlation and conservation of forces," the whole applied to the explanation of the phenomena of nature and combinations of art. 4th. IN CHEMISTRY-comprehending the laws of heat, electricity, and light, in their chemical relations; a description of the element_s and their important compounds, binary and complex, their properties, classification, laws of union and separation, and the theories (atomic and others) by which these are explained ; the chemical nomenclature, symbols and notation, and the principles on which they are founded_; the whole, as far as possible, illustrated by experiment, and accompanied with instruction in manipulation. 5th. MINERALOGY AND GEOLOGY-of which sciences a general survey will be taken after completion of the course in Physics and Chemistry. · POST-GRADUATE COURSE OF STUDIES. '- .. 1. l t The Post-Graduate Course of Studies, extending through two years, and pursued at the College or elsewhere, is assigned by the Faculty to candidates for the degree of Master of Arts. This course will relate mainly to open questions in all departments of physical, literary, philological, or speculative inquiry, and thesis in each will be prescribed to candidates according to the current aspects of science and investigation in the most interesting branches of human study and thought. In the assignment of such theses regard will also be had to the favorite studies of the individual candidate, that the spirit of original inquiry in each may be duly encouraged. Candidates for this degree are required, within three months after graduation, to select at least two of the departments of study specified in this Catalogue (pp. 20, 21,) and under the direction of the Professors in these departments to pursue their studies for the two years of the Post-Graduate Course, submitting to them such essays, or undergoing such oral or written examinations, as may be required to test their qualifications for this degree. �' I I Iii CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE: CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. EXAMINATIONS, REPORTS, CONDUCT. DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES. Written exami,nations on the studies of the entire term are held at the close of each term. The marks for these examinations are combined with the marks for daily recitations, to make up the student's standing for the term. Any student whose examinations at the close of a year shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with advantage the studies of the class to which he belongs, will have offered to him on the first day of the next year an opportunity to retrieve his !ost position, and in default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. A student deficient in knowledge or persistently neglectful of any study, is at any time liable to be reduced to a lower class in that study. A merit-roll is kept, and each recitation noted on the grade of from o to 5. In order to pass from a low.er to a higher class, each stu<lent must obtain an average of at least 2.5 each on his recitations and on his examinations for the Academic year. Demerits will be given for absence and for violation of College regulations. Reports respecting conduct and scholarship, including all absences from College exercises, will be sent every two months to the parents or guardians of the students.

Furniture may, however, be hired from the Steward at a reasonable rate. Board at special rates, in clubs, may be had on terms arranged between parents and the manager of the boarding department. The boarding-house will be closed during the Christmas and Summer vacations. Books and stationery will be furnished at the lowest possible rates, and disbursements made for personal expenses of students, if funds shall be deposited by parents for this purpose, but no advances will be made by the College. The tuition fees of students who reside in Annapolis are as follows: In the Preparatory Department, for each term, payable in advance $30 oo In the Collegiate Department, for each term, payable in advance The extra charges, also payable in advance, by all Students, are as follows. : Seat in Church, per term, (paid by boarders) Library Fee Repairs and General Damages, (paid by boarders) Use of Gymnasium, (optional) Diploma of Proficient, at graduation Diploma of Bachelor of Arts, at graduation 1.50 5.00 5.00 3.00 5.00 10.00 No student will be matriculated until he shall present to the Faculty a receipt from the Treasurer for all dues ; and no Diploma will be awarded unless the candidate shall present to the Faculty a similar receipt, including fee for Diploma. Willful damage will be made the ground of additional charge to be defrayed by the perpetrator. STATE SCHOLARSHIP .l<"'OR TUITION. A system of one hundred and fifty State Scholarships has been founded by the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John's College on the annual donation received by the College from the State. Each of these scholarships entitles the holde<, in whose name it is : .f ~ ... \ issued, to exemption from the payment of the room-rent and tmtion fees, if, on examination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or College. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State is entitled to six of these scholarships, whicht are filled by the School Commissioners of each District ; and in case more than six shall be nominated from any District, the Faculty will select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the rules and regulations of the College. In addition to tuition and room-rent, the College authorities engage during the coming year to furnish board in the College Commons, (including fuel, lights and washing,) to all incumbents of State Scholarships at the rate of $zoo per annum, payable in advance, in semiannual instalments of $100 at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year. In order to secure greater efficiency to the College, and a higher appreciation of the State's liberality, it is recommended to the Boards of School Commissioners to make these Scholarships the rewards of competitive examinations, and to grant certificates to none who are not fully qualified to enter the Preparatory Department of the College. The College has suffered heretofore from lack of preparation on the part of these appointees. Books will be furnished hereafter to those students only who hold Senatorial Scholarships for both board and tHition, and if damaged or lost, will be charged to them at their full cost. STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BOARD AND TUITION. The General Assembly of the State, (Acts of 1872, ch. 393,) has provided for furnishing board, fuel, lights and washing, to two of the six incu~bents of State Scholarships for tuition from each Senatorial District in the State, to be appointed by the Board of School Commissioners, by and with the advice and consent of the Senators in their respective Districts, after competitive examination. These Scholarships are tenable for four years, and the incumbents are required to give bond and security in the sum of $7 50 that they will teach school within the State for not less than two years after leaving College. To obtain a f~ll Collegiate education, the object contemplated �30 CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLJ,EGE. by the Act, candidates should be prepared to enter at least the Freshman Class of the College, although, if no candidates sufficiently well-prepared present themselves,. they will be, received into the Preparatory Department of the College. They are required to pursue the regular Academic Course in order to qualify themselves for teaching hereafter. The Boards of School Commissioners are earnestly requested to exercise great care in the" selection of these students, and especially to appoint none deficient in preparation. As the terms of the incumbents of several of these Scholars.hips expire at the close of the present session, there will then be the following vacancies : three from Baltimore City, one from each Legislative District; two from each of the counties of Baltimore, Dorchester, Frederick, Howard, Somerset, and Worcester; and on: from each o.f the connties of Allegany, Calvert, Charles, Harford, Kent, Montgomery, St. Mary's, and Wicomico. In filling these vacancies, the Boards of School Commissioners are requested, other things being equal, to appoint those candidates who are at least sixteen years of age and are most advanced in their studies. It is especially desired that all applicants hereafter should be prepared, in at least Mathematics and English studies, to enter the Freshman Class of the College. The Secretaries of the several School Boards are requested to communicate to the Principal of the College the names of those incumbents of these Scholarships who are uow, or may hereafter be, empioyed in teaching in their respective counties, or in the city of Baltimore. COLLEGIATE SCHOLARSHIPS. The following regulations have been made by the Board of Visitors and Governors for the establishment of Scholarships in connection with the College : For a permanent Scholarship for tuition, $1000. For a permanent Scholarship for board and tuition, $3000. For a Scholarship for the tuition of a student through all the College Classes, $250. For a Scholarship for the board and tuition of· a student through all the College Classes, $800. :For any other Scholarships the sum reduced shall be in the same proportion, the money in each case to be paid in advance in to the treasury of the. College. The establishment of these Scholarships is earnestly commended to the attention of the Alumni and friends of the College.

JOHN'S COLLEGE. These are the great advantages which the College presents for the attainment of a Collegiate education by even the poorest who are properly qualified to avail themselves of them. Such are unable to go beyond the borders of the State, and can thus obtain a liberal education at their very doors. And will those who are able to send their sons to the well-known Colleges of other States refuse their patronag·e to ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, and thus neglect the opportunity now and here afforded of building up a College, already the equal of many of these, and which, by proper support from the people of Maryland, may in time become the rival of any institution in the land? A sufficient amount is annually drained from the State by sending her sons abroad for an education which may be obtained at home, to place this College above all want. Will the people neglect the literary advantages presented here, and go elsewhere for a similar education at greater cost? ~-~'-=--=-~=---- ------....-..~--ilillii=-iili--liililii------ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

No student will be permitted to discontinue any study, except at the close of a term, and then only at the written request of his parent or guardian. Students who do not study Greek will be required to study French or German, and those who do not stu~y either Latin or Greek, will be required to study both French and German. These languages will be commenced by such students in the First Preparatory Olass. The studies o~ stu~ents of the Second Preparatory Class who do not study the Classrns, will be so arranged that their time will be fully occupied. Students of the regular Academic Course are required to study either French or German during the Junior and Senior years. For classical students _below t~e Junior Olass, the French and German languages are elective studies. Apparatus for Gymnastic exercises has been erected, and regular hours of exercise assigned for each class. The use of the Gymnasium is granted on payment of a small fee. ----·--COURSE OF INSTRUCTION. The Course of Instruction embraces the following departments: I.

HISTORY AND THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURElncluding Ancient and Modern History, the English and Anglo-Saxon languages and their literature, and an outline of the general principles of Comparative Philology. PRINCIPAL. The departments of History and the English Language and Literature, and of Natural Science, having been recently reorganized, the following outline of the courses in tnese departments is appended: DEPAR.TMENT OF HISTOR.Y, AND THE LANGUAGE AND LITERATUR.E. ENGLISH In this department instruction will be givenlst. IN HISTORY.-A thorough knowledge of Greek and Roman history is believed to be the ba~is of all historical study, and these will fir11t be carefully learned. This will 15e followed with a general outline of history, as contained in Thalheimer's Manual of Medireval and Modern History, and illustrated by reference to the BretschneiderSpruner wall-maps. Should the limited time permit, a more particular study of some period of history will complete· the historical course. 2d. IN THE ENGLISH AND ANGLO-SAXON LANGUAGES AND THEIR LITERATURE.-Under this head the art of Composition and Rhetoric will first be studied, with frequent exercises in written composition and declamation, and a thorough analysis of the grammatical structure of the language. The history of English literat.ure will then be taken up, and the lives of authors stud1ed in connection with specimens of their writings, which will be criticised in class. After this the English of Shakspere will be made a specia_l subject of study, and the most marked points of difference between Elizabethan and modern English noted and commented on. This will be included in the critical study of some one of the plays of Shakspere. Finally, the Anglo-Saxon language will be carefully studied, and in 1·1 i.11' :.1 ' 1 11 �i r. 22 CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. 23 < • connection with it lectures delivered on the origin and history of the English language, and lectures introductory to the study of Comparative Philology, an outline being given of the classification of languages, particularly the branches and subdivisions of the IndoEuropean family, and of the general principles of Comparative Grammar, after manuscript notes on the lectures of Prof. George Curtius, of Leipzig. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL SCIENCE. In· this department instruction will be givenlst. IN ZooLOGY-viewing the animal kingdom as a whole, observing the types of organs which, variously modified, pervade the genera, classes, families and branches, in which existing and extinct animals are arrayed, and taking a general survey of comparative anatomy and physiology. · 2d. IN BOTANY-comprehending the anatomy and physiology of plants, and their classification, according to the natural and artificial methods, etc. 3d. IN PHYSICS-examining the fundamental laws of force and its products, motion and equilibrium, and the application of these, first to the action and reaction of masses-solid, liquid, and gaseousembracing mechanics, hydrostatics and pneumatics; second, of molecules, embracing light, heat, electricity and magnetism, in their relations to physics; third, to the interaction of molar and molecular forces, embracing "the correfation and conservation of forces," the whole applied to the explanation of the phenomena of nature and combinations of art. 4th. IN CHEMISTRY-comprehending the laws of heat, electricity, and light, in their chemical relations; a description of the elements and their important compounds, binary and complex, their properties, classification, laws of union and separation, and the theories (atomic and others) by which these are explained; the chemical nomenclature, symbols and notation, and the principles on which they are founded; the whole, as far as possible, illustrated by experiment, and accompanied with instruction in manipulation. · As extended a treatment of these subjects will be given as is possible in the time allowed. ;. ., .. . :.~ ·~,r .'~ i ' In the course above sketched the professor will endeavor, first, to educate the mental faculties of pupils, training them to compare, to .generalize, to ascend .in~uctively from facts to pr~nciples, to descend deductively from prmc1ples to facts; secon,d, to impart such knowledge of its subjects as all liberally educated persons should possess; third, to make it sufficiently thorough to indicate whether any pupil has such natural taste and aptitude for the study of any one of its branches, as should induce him to make its pursuit his special avocation. The studies of the several classes have been so arranged as to make instruction in the sciences a prominent part of the Collegiate course. Additions will from time to time be made to the philosophical apparatus, and every effort used to make the labor!l.tory and cabinet as complete as possible. Contributions for illustration of any .0 f the branches of this department will be thankfully received. POST-GRADUATE COURSE OF STUDIES. The Post-Graduate Course of Studies, extending through two years, and pursued at the College or elsewhere, is assigned by the Faculty to candidates for the degree of Master of Arts. This course will relate mainly to open questions in all departments of physical, literary, philological, or speculative inquiry, and theses in each will be pre- · scribed to candidates according to the current aspects of science and investigation in the most interesting branches of human study and thought. In the assignment of such theses regard will also be had to the favorite studies of the individual candidate, that the spirit of original inquiry in each may be duly encouraged. Candidates for this degree are required:, within three months after . graduation, to select at least two of the departments of stu-iy specified in this Catalogue (pp. 20, 21,) and under the direction of the · Professors in these departments to pursue their studies for the two · years of the Post-Graduate Course, submitting to them such essays, or undergoing such oral or written examinations, as may be required to test their qualifications ·for this degree. f,, '· i !I J I. �' ',· ' I, :·' CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. EXAMINATIONS, REPORTS, CONDUCT. DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES. Written examinations on the studies of the entire term are held at the close of each term. The marks for these examinations are combined with the marks for daily recitations, to make up the student's standing for the term. Any student whose examinations at the close of a year shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with advantage the studies of the class to which he belongs, will have offered to him on the first day of the next year an opportunity to retrieve his lost position, and in default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. A student deficient in knowledge or persistently neglectful of any study, is at any time liable to be reduced to a lower class in that study. A merit roll is kept, and each recitation noted on the grade of from 0 to 5. In order to pass from a lower to a higher class, each student must obtain an average of at least 2.5 each on his recitations and on his examinations for the Academic year. Demerits will be given for absence and for violation of College regulations. Reports respecting conduct and scholarship, including all absences from College exercises, will be sent every two months to the parents or guardians of the students. Whenever any student of the Collegiate Department has 100 demerits for any one term, or 150 for the year, or any student of the Preparatory Department has 125 demerits for any one term, or 200 for the year, he must leave the Institution. Each student is required to obey all the laws of the College, so long as he shall remain a member of it; and whenever any student can no longer cheerfully comply with College rules, he will be required to leave the Institution. All students are required to be p1·esent promptly on the opening day of t!te session, and no student will be permitted to leave the College while College exercises are going on, except in cases of urgent necessity, and at the written reguest of his parent or guardian. The attention of parents and guardians is .<;pecially called to these regulations, and their co-operatzon earnestly requested. They are also earnestly solicited, on the occasion of holidays, not to detain students at home beyond the time allotted for suspen.sion of College exercises. Students absent from any cause except pro. tracted sickness, will be marked zero on all recitations made during th.eir absence. When the cause nf absence is satisfactory to the Facnlty, they will be allowed to make up the omitted recitations. / The following Academic Degrees are conferred by the College : The Degree of Master of Arts, conferred after completion of the Post-Graduate Course of Studies. The Degree of Bachelor oj Arts, conferred upon students of t~e Senior Class who shall obtain an average of 3.75 on all the studies of the Senior year. The Degree of Proficient, conferred upon students of the Select Course, who shall complete the course and obtain an a:erage of 4 in any special study during the last year of the course m that study, and upon students of the regular Academic Course in any elective study in which they shall complete the course and obtair: a like average. . . . . . . The Degree of Distinguished Proficient is s1~1larly confe~red upon any student who shall obtain an aver~ge of 4.5 m any special study, Certificates of Distinction of the First and of the Second Grade are presented on Commencement Day to those students in an_y Cla~s who shall have obtained an average of 4.5 and of 4 respectively m all their studies and in Conduct for the Academic year. Students who have obtained an average of 4.5 in any one branch of study are honorably mentioned on Commencement day, but no student is honorably mentioned, nor is any Certificate or Degree conferred upon any student who has received an average of less than 2.5 in any one study for the Academic year.

The Library of the College consists of about 5,000 volumes, the use of which is permitted to the students under certain regulations. Through the liberality of the Legislature of 1872, and donations from the classes of '71, '72 and '73, large additions have been made t~ the Library; and, by means of the regular Library fees, subscript10~s ~ave been made to a large number of American and foreign per1~d10als. A complete library being an indispensable auxiliary to the mtellectual .advancement of Professors and students, the claims of the CollAge Library are commended to the Alumni of the College, and to the friends of educ_ation in the State. Any contributions of books or funds for the Library will be gratefully acknowledged. SOCIETY OF .ALUMINI. The Soc~ety of Alumni holds its 11.nnual meetings on Commencement Day, on which occasion an oratiop. is delivered by one of its 1 : members. All former students who have completed their collegiate education at St. John's Cc.llege, and left in good standing, are considered members of this Society. It numbers on its roll many names prominent in the history of the State. PUBLIC WORSIDP. The exercises of each day are opened with prayer m the College . .. ' Hall. All students are required to attend public worship on Sundays at such church as their parents or guardians may direct, and to abstain from whatever is inconsistent with a due observance of the Sabbath. The principles and duties of the Christian Religion will be constantly enforced in the teaching and in the discipline of the College, but no instruction whatever is given, or influence exerted, in the interest of any particular denomination of Christians. TERM~ AND VACATIONS. The Annual Commencement of the College takes place on the first Wednesday in July. The College year begins on the third Monday in September and ends on the first Wednesday in July. The year is divided into two equal terms. The regular vacations extend from the first Wednesday in July to the third Monday in September, and from the 23d of December to the first Monday in January, both inclusive. The 22d of February, Good Friday, and the 4th of July are holidays, as also the Day of Public Thanksgiving, appointed by the Governor of Maryland, or by the President of the United States. LITERARY SOCIETIES. There are two Literary Societies (the Philokalian and the Philomathean) among the students, which afford opportunities for the cultivation of composition and debate. An oration is usually delivered before these Societies on the day preceeding Commencement Day, by some gentleman selected by them. I . . ·1 ii III. Society of Alitmni Prizes. The Society of Alumni has offered for the present year the following Prizes, viz : 1. Two Prizes, of the valuo respectively of fifteen and ten dollars to the two memberi:. of the Writing classes who shall have made th~ greatest improvement in Writing during the year. 2. - Two Prizes, of the value respectively of twenty-five and fifteen dollars, to the two members of the Junior class who shall ob~ain the highest general average in all studies. 3.

The Prizes for the Junior and Senior classes are limited to students of the regular Academic course, and will not be awarded to any student who may have failed to receive an average of 2.5 in any one study. I EXPENSES. The charge for the entire scholastic year, beginning on the third Monday in September, and ending on the first Wednesday in July, is . $275.00 This .amount covers all the ordinary College expenses except for text-books, and must be invariably paid semi-annually in advance, that is $137.50 at the opening of the first term in September, and $137.50 at the opening of the second term, on the 15th of February · following.

Students. not holding Sch.olarships which entitle them to both board and tuition free, are required to provide themselves with furni. ture, including stoves. Furnitt1re may, however, be hired from the Steward at a reasonable rate. Board at special rates, in clubs, may be had on terms arranged between parents and the manager of the boarding department. Students boarding in the College are required to have their clothing distinctly marked. The boarding-house will be closed during the . Christmas and Summer vacations. Books and stationery will be furnished at the lowel!lt possible rates, and disbursements made for personal expenses of students, if .funds shall be deposited by parents for this purpose, but no advance.~ will be made by the College. - •rhe tuition fees of students who reside in Annapolis are as follows: ·issued, to exemption from the payment of the room-rent and tuition fees, if, on exa;mination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or College. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State is entitled to six of these scholarships, which are filled by the School Commissioners of each District; and in case more than six shall be nominated from any District, the Faculty wm select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the rules and regulations of the College. In addition to tuition and room-rent, the College authorities engage during the coming year to furnish board in the College Commons, (including fuel, lights and washing,) to all incumbents ·of Atate Scholarships at the rate of $200 per annum, payable in advance, in semi-annual instalments of $100 at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year. In order to secure greater efficiency to the College, and a higher appreciation of the State's liberality, it is recommended to the Boards of School Commissioners to make these Scholarships the re" wards of competitive examinations, and to grant certificates to none who are not fully qualified to enter the Preparatory Department of the College. The College has suffered heretofore from lack of preparation on the part of these appointees. Books will be furnished hereafter to those students only who hold Senatorial Scholarships for both boa.rd and tuition, and if damaged or lost, will be charged to them at their full cost. In the Preparatory Department, for each term, payable in advance $30 00 In the Collegiate Department, for each term, payable in advance . 45.00 The extra charges, als0 payablEl in advance, by all Students, are as follows : Seat in Church, per term, (paid by boarders) 1.50 Library Fee 5.00 Repairs and ordinary wear and tear, (paid by boarders) 5.00 Use of Gymnasium, (optional) 3.00 Diploma of Proficient, at graduation 5.00 Diploma of Bachelor of Arts, at graduation 10.00 1 · I I No student will be matriculated until he shall present to the Faculty a receipt from the Treasurer for all dues; and no Diploma will be awarded unless the candidate shall present to the Faculty a similar receipt, including fee for Diploma. Willful damage will be made the ground of additional charge to be defrayed by the perpetrator. STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR TUITION. A system of one hundred and fifty State Scholarships has been founded by the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John's College on the annual donation received by the College from ihe State. Each of these scholarships entitles the holder, in whose name it is ~-- STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BOARD AND TUITION. The General Assembly of the State, (Acts of 1872, ch. 393,) has provided for furnishing board, fuel, lights and washing, to two of the six incumbents of State Scholarship's for tuition from each Senatorial Dij!trict in the State, to be appointed by the Board of School Commissioners, by and with the advice and consent of the Senators in their respective Districts, aftei· aompetitive examination. These Scholarships are tenable for four years, and the incumbents are required to give bond and security in the sum of $750 that they will teach school within the State for not less than two yea.rs after leaving College. To obtain a full Collegiate education, the object contemplated --~·1 �30 CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. / by the Act, candidates should be prepared to enter at·· least the Freshman Class of the College, although, if no candidates sufficiently well-prepared present. themselves, they will be received into the Preparatory Department of the College. They are · required to pursue the regular Academic Course in order to qualify themselves for teaching hereafter. The Boards of School Commissioners are earnestly requested to exercise great care in the selection of these students, and especially.to appoint none deficient in preparation. There will be but oue vacancy in these Scholorships at the close of the present session, viz: from Baltimore Otty, (First Legislative District). ·. In filling these vacancies; the Boards of School Commissioners are requested, other things being equal, to appoint those candidates who are at· least sixteen years of age and are most advanced in their studi!lS. It is especially desired that all applicants hereafter should be prepared, in at least Mathematics and English studies, to enter the. Freshman Class of the College. · .u@""The Secretaries.of the several School Boards are requested to communicate to the Principal of the College the names of those former incumbents of these Scholarships who are now, or may hereafter be, employed in teaching in their respective counties, or in the city of . Baltimore. COLLEGIATE . SCHOLARSHIPS. The following regulations have been made by the Board of Visitors and Governors for the establishment of Scholarships in connection with the College :. For a permanent Scholarship for tuition, $1000. For a permanent Scholarship for board and tuition, $3000. For a Scholarship for the tuition of a student .through all the College Classes, $250. For a Scholarship fer the board and tuition of a student through all. the College Classes, $800. For any other Scholarships the sum reduced shall be in the same proportion, the money in each case to be paid in advance into the treasury of the College. The establishment of these Scholarships is earnestly commended to the attention of the Alumni and friends of the College. / / TO THE PEOPLE OF MARYLAND. In sending out the Catalogue of the Eleventh Session since the reorganization of ST. JOHN'S CoLLEGE, the Faculty would earnestly commend to the people of Maryland tbe advantages presented by the flollege for the attainment of a thorough and liberal education. The location of the College makes it easy of access from all portions of the State, and its situation has been often commented on as peculiarly suitable for a Literary Institution. The Departments of Instruction are fully organized and in complete working order, and the Course of Study will challenge comparison with that of most first-class Colleges in the land. The effort is constantly made to raise the grade and improve the methods of instruction, and the amount of work done and results attained are not inferior to tho~e of Colleges elsewhere. The liberality of the Legislature of 1872 has enabled the College to add largely to its Library and Philosophical Apparatus, so that the facilities for scientific study have been greatly increased. Expecially noticeable are the extremely low terms charged (two hundred and seventy-five dollars) for tuition, room rent, board, fuel, lights, and washing-terms much less than those of Colleges in other States, and altogether insufficient to maintain the College but for the liberal assistance granted by the State. In return for this assistance, when it was first received with no conditions attached, the Board of Visitors and Governors established one hundred and fifty scholarships (six for each Senatorial District in the State,) entitling the holders, appointed by the Board of )School Commissioners of the District, to exemption from payment of , fees for tuition and room-rent-thus limiting the charge for beard, fuel, lights, and washing, for these students, to two hundred dollars. Means were also provided by the Legislature of 1872 for making :fifty of the scholarships (two from each Senatorial Di11trict) free of all charges for board, fuel, lights, and washing, under certain conditions specified in the preceding Circular. I~ I i ! I �32 CIRCULAR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE. These are the great advantages which the College presents for the attainment of a Collegiate education by even the poorest who are properly qualified to avail themselves of them. Such are unable to go beyond the borders of the State, and can thus obtain a liberal education at their very doors. And will those who are able to send their sons to other well known Colleges of other States refuse their patronage to ST. JoHN's COLLEGE, and thus neglect the opportunity now and here afforded of building up a College, already the equal of many of these, and which, by proper support from the people of Maryland, may in time become the rival of any institution in the land? A sufficient amount is annually drained from the State by sending her sons abroad for an education .which may be obtained at home, to place this College above all want. Will the people neglect the literary advantages presented here, and go elsewhere for a similar education at greater cost? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This will be followe? w!th a general outl_ine of history, as contained in !halheimer s Manual of M.edireval and Modern History, and illustrated by reference to the Bretschneider-Spruner wallm.aps. A 'more particular study of some period of history ~ill complete the historicai course. During the present sess~on, "The Age ?f Queen Anne" has been made a special subJect of ~tudy, with r~ferenc~s to historical and literary works illustratmg. that penod, which are to be read privately by the class. ~'. 21 . 2d.

Fmal~y, the A~glo-S?-xo:r:i. language will be carefully st1;1d_ied, and_ m connection with it lectures delivered on the ongm and history of the English language, and lectures introdu~tory. to the study of Comparative Philology, an outline bemg given of the _cl:i~sification of languages, particularly the branches and su~diyis10ns of the Inda-European family, and of t?e general prmciples of Comparative Grammar, after manusc_np~ notes on the lectures of Prof. George Curtius, of Le1pz1g. In this department instruction will be givenIst. IN ZOOLOGY-viewing the animal kingdom as a whole, observing the types of organs which, variously modified, pervade the genera, classes, families and branches in which existing and extinct animals are arrayed, and taking a general survey of comparative anatomy and physiology. 2d. IN BOTANY-comprehending the anatomy and physiology of plants, and their classification, according to the natural and artificial methods etc. 3d. IN PHYSICS-examining the fundamental laws of force and its products, motion and its equilibrium, and the application of these, first to the action and reaction of masses -solid, liquid and gaseous-embracing mechanics, hydrostatics and pneumatics; second, of molecules, embracing light, heat, electricity and magnetism, in their relations to physics; third, to the interaction of molar and molecular forces, embracing "the correlation and conservation of forces," the whole applied to the explanation of the phenomena of nature and combinations of art. 4th. IN CHEMISTRY-comprehending the laws of heat, electricity and light, in their chemical relations ; a description of the elements and their important compounds, binary and complex, their properties, classification, laws of union and separation, and the theories (atomic and others) by which these are explained ; the chemical nomenclature, symbols and notation, and the principles on which they are founded ; th,e whole, as far as possible, illustrated by experiment, and accompanied with instruction in manipulation. . As extended a treatment of these subjects will be given as is possible in the time allowed. In the course above sketched, the professor will endeavor, first, to educate the mental faculties of pupils, training them to compare, to generaljze, to ascend inductively from facts to principles, to descend deductively f~om pr~nciples to f~c.ts ; second, to impart such knowledge of its sub1ects as all liberally-educated persons should possess; third, to make it sufficiently thorough to indicate whether any pupil has such ,.1 !I �-22 Circular o.f St. 7olm's College. natural taste and aptitude for the study of any one of its branch.es as should induce him to make its pursuit his special avocation. f~g1at~ cours~.

A system 'of one hundred and fifty State Scholarships has been founded by the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John's College on the annual donation received by the College Each of these scholarships e_ntitles the from the State. holder, in whose name it is issued, to exemption from the payment of the room rent and tuition fees, if, on examination, he is found qualified to enter any class in the Preparatory Department or College. The Preparatory Department corresponds, in the scope and quality of its studies, to a High School. Each Senatorial District of the State is entitled to six of these scholarships, which are filled by the School Commissioners of each District ; and in case more than six shall be nominated from any District, the Faculty will select the six best qualified to enter the Institution. All Scholars thus selected are required to conform to the rules and regulations of the College. In addition to tuition and room-rent, the College authorities engage during the coming year to furnish board in the College Co.mmons, (including fuel, lights and washing,) to all ,,, '! I I· I �28 Circular oj St. J'ohn's College. Circular of St. John's College. incumbents of State Scholarships at the rate of $200 per annum, payable in advance, in semi-annual instalments of $roo at the beginning of each term in the scholastic year. In mder to. secure greater efficiency to the College, and a higher appreciation of the State's liberality, it is recommended to the Boards of School Commissioners to make these Scholarships the rewards of competitive exq.minations, and to grant certificates to none who are not fully qualified to enter the Preparatory Department of the College. The College has suffered heretofore from lack of preparation on the part of these appointees. There will be two vacancies in these Scholarships at the close of the present session, viz : one from Carroll, and one from Charles county. Books will be furnished hereafter to those students only who hold Senatorial Scholarships for both board and tuition, and if damaged or lost, will be charged to them at their full cost. STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BOARD AND TUITION. p', 1 .i'I The General Assembly of the State, (Acts of 1872. ch. 393, and I 878, ch. 3 I 5,) has provided for furnishing board, fuel, lights and washing to one of the six incumbents of State Scholarships for tuition from each Senatorial District in the State, to be appointed by the Board of School Commissioners, by and with the advice and consent of the Senators in their respective Districts, after competitive examination. The law requires that candidates shall produce before the Board of School Commissioners satisfactory evidence of their moral character, _and of their inability, or the inability of their parents or guardians, to pay the regular College charges .. These Scholarships are tenable for four years, and the incumbents are required by law to pledge. themselves that they will continue students of the College for the full term of four ye_ars, 1Jnle5s prevented by unavoidable necessity, and that they will teach. School within the State for not less than two years after leaving College. To obtain a full Collegiate education, the object contemplated by the Act, candidates should be prepared to enter at least the Freshman Class of the College ; they will not hereafter be received into the Preparatory Department of the College. They are required to pursue the regular Academic Course in order to qualify themselves for teaching ]Jereafter. The Boards of School Commissioners are earnestly requested to exercise great care in the selection of these students, and especially to appoint none deficient m preparation. In filling these vacancies, t~e Boa~ds of Sc~ool Co!11missioners are requested, other thmgs bemg equal, fo appomt those candidates who are at least sixteen years of age and ar.e most advanced in their studies. It is required that all appli• cants hereafter should be prepared, in at least Mathematics and English studies, to enter the Freshman Class of the College. 1 ~The Secretaries of the several School Boards are requested to communicate to the Principal of the College the names of those former incumbents of these Scholarships who are now, or may hereafter be, employed. in teaching in their respective counties, or in the city of _Baltimore. COLLEGIATE SCHOLARSHIPS. The following regulations have been made by the· Board of Visitors and Governors for the establishment of Scholarships in connection with the College : For a permanent Scholarship for tu.it.ion, $rooo. For a permanent Scholarship for board and tmt10n, $3000. For a Scholarship for the tuition of a student through all the College Classes, $250. For a Scholarship for the board and tuition of a student through all the College Classes, $800. For any other Scholarships the sum reduced shall be i1:1 t~e same proportion, the money in each case to be paid m advance into the treasury of the College. The establishment of these Scholarships is commended to the attention of the Alumni and friends of the College. �Czrcular of St. 'John's College. 31 ! , .I To the People of Maryland. In sending out the Catalogue of the Twelfth Session since the reorganization of ST. JOH.l\'S COi.LEGE, the Faculty would earnestly commend to the people of Maryland the advantages presented by the College for the attainment of a thorough and liberel education. The location of the College makes it easy of access from all portions of the State, and its situation has been often commented on as peculiarly· imitable for a Literary Institution. The Departments of Instruction are fully organized and in complete working order, and .the Course of Study will challenge comparison with that of most first-class Colleges in the. land. The effort is constantly made to raise the grade and improve the methods of instruction, and the amount of work done and results attained are not inferior to those of Colleges elsewhere. The liberality of the Legislature of 1872 has enabled the College to add largely to its Library and Philosophical Apparatus, so that the facilities for scientific studyhave been greatly increased. Especially noticeable are the extremely low terms charged (two hundred and seventyfive dollars) for tuition, room rent, board, fuel, lights, and washing-terms much less than those of Colleges in other States, and altogether insufficient to maintain the College but for the liberal assistance granted lzy the State. In return for this assistance, when it was first received with no conditions attached, the Board of Visitors and Governors established one hundred and fifty scholarships (six for each Senatorial District in the State,) entitling the holders, appointed by the Board of School Commissioners of the District, to exemption from payment of fees for tuition and room rent-thus limiting the charge for board, fuel, lights, and washing, for these students, to two hundred dollars. Means were also provided by the Legislature of 1872 [Act amended by the Legislature of 1878], for making twenty-six of the scholarships (one from each Senatorial District) free of all charges for board, fuel, . · lights, and washing, under certain conditions specified in the preceding Circular. These are the great advantages which~ the College presents for the attainment of a Collegiate education by even the poorest who are properly qualified to avail themselves of them. Such are unable to go beyond the borders of the State, and can thus obtain a liberal education at their very doors. And will those who are able to send their sons to well known Colleges of other States refuse their patronage to ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, and thus neglect the opportunity now and here afforded of building up a College, already the equal of many of these, a1~d which, by proper support from the people of Maryland, may in time become the rival of any institution in the land? A sufficient amount is annually drained from the State by sending her sons abroad for an education which may be obtained at home, to place this College above all want. Will the people neglect the literary advantages presented here, and go elsewhere for a similar education at greater cost ? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

You have already anticipated that reference is made to the deaths of REVERDY JOHNSON and FRANCIS THOMAS. It is proposed to ask your attention to a brief summary of the leading incidents in the life of each in turn. *Dr. John Thomas Hall. J uclge Wm. Sprigg, Hall. �REVERDY JOHNSON, LL. D. eldest son of John Johnson, the first Chancellor of that name, was born on the 21st of May 1796, in the City of Annapolis, within a stone's throw of the spot where he met his lamentable end. Almost his entire educacation was received at St. John's, having entered the Grammar School when very young, but it is doubtful whether be ever took his degree. The time at which he would have completed the ordinary course of collegiate study, was embraced in the unhappy period in the history of the College, when, by the unlawful withdrawal of its funds, it was reduced in strength and shorn of academic honor. No commencement trophies illumined the darkness of those melancholy days. Not a few of our Alumni, since eminent, left her halls during the interrnl without the customary tokens of her regard. Mr. Johnson is said to have withdrawn from College at sixteen- it is quite certain that he began the study of the . law at an unusually early age, under the direction at first of bis distinguished Father, and afterwards, for a time at least, in the office of .Tudge ~T ohn Stephen, of the Court of Appeals. I have heard from contemporary authority that he early became familiar with the atmosphere of the Court, and during the whole progress of his REVERDY .JOHNSON, �REVERDY JOHNSON. 5 preparation for the Bar attended the trial of causes with remarkable regularity :- thus imparting to the theory of the science a reality and practicalness in application, which afterwards gave him that clear perception and ready mastery of the principles of the ]aw whicl1 excited the admiration alike of the Bench and the Bar. His passion for it washereditary, and was manifested by a devotion which was prophetic of success. He was admitted to the Bar and began practice at Upper Marlboi'o, Prince George County, in 1815, when only in his twentieth year. Not long after he was appointed by the Attorney General of the State, his deputy for that J11dicial District, and performed the duties of the office with energy and credit. In N ovem her 1817 he sought a wider field for the exercise of his talents, and removing to Baltimore, entered upon the brilliant career which has rnade him one of the most eminent lawyers of bis country. His rise in his profession was rapid and steady, with no backward step, until the topmost round of the ladder was reached. It was not till 1821 that we see his name for the first time, connected with public duties other than those of .his profession. In that year, when only twenty-five, he was elected to the State Senate for a term of five years, and at its expiration was re-elected for another term. Of the latter, however, be served only two years, and resigned the office to devote himself more exclusively to his practice. In 1845, he was elected to the Senate of the United States, where he at once .assumed a leading �6 REVERDY JOHNSON. ,position, and took a prominent part in the discus..sion of the important questions which then en gaged the attention of Congress and the country. This position he · resigned in 1849 to accept the appointment of Atto1·ney General in the Cabinet of General Taylor. Perhaps no official position could have been rnol'e congenial to bis habits and tastes, but he held it for little more than a year, retiring, with most of thr Cabinet, on the death of General Taylor and the accession of l\!l:r. Fillmore. He now devoted himself to bis praetice almost e:x;clusively, until the outbreak · of the unhappy civil war which convulsed the land. His earnest efforts were exerted to avert that calamity. He was one of the delegates from Maryland to the "Peace Convention" which met at Washington to make a last attempt to compromise our seetional di:fficul ties. In that convention he b<lldly repudiated the doctrine of secession, and avowed himself an un conditional Union man. When therefore all measures for that purpose failed and the strife became inevitable, .M r ..Johnson, as is well known, defended the use of thwrnilitary powei· of the General Government for the maintenance or restoration of the federal Union. While ('Ontinuing to su~tain this position, he s~rove by every means in his power to allay the bitterness of .local feeling, and -watched for the first opportunitr for conciliation and for terminating the horrors of fraternal strife. In 1861 he accepted a seat in the House of Delegates from Baltimore County ;- and in the wiilter · ' of 1862- 63, he was again elected to the United States Senate,- resuming his seat in that body in �REVERDY JOHNSON. 7 March ' 1863, after an inter--\ral of fourteen: yeats. About this time be was deputed by President Lincoln as a special commissioner to visit the City of New Orleans and revise the decisions of its military commandant (General Butler) in regard to some important questions involving our relations with other Governments. He found it ne<"essary to reYerse those decisions, in wl1ich his course receiYed the approval of the Government. While in the Senate he voted for the constitutional amend~ ment abolishing slaYeIT- · having, in cornrno11 with his great predecessor Wm. Pinkney, and other of the older statesmen of Maryland, deplored tlrn existence of that institution. He participated large}~- in the debates of the period, arid evinced that perfect independence in the formation of his opinions upon public measures and in the advocac~' of them, which was so marked a trait in his char acter. Alwa~-s decided in his Yiews, as a publie man he often found himself in conflict of opinion with leading rneu of the party with which he acted. The liberality of his mind and his habit of bringing eYery subject to the test' of calm reasoning aud cool judgment, woi1kl have always prevei1ted him from becoming a bigoted partisan. ' 'Ve eome nO'w to au important 'event in the public life of J\/[r. Johnson. This ,,T~S l1is appointment a,s Arnbas1:<mdor to England, , with special reference to tho differences '".'ith ~hat country, pa.r ticularly those growing out of what were known a::; the "Alabam~ Olain~s." , Ile was 11ow to appear in a new character, that of a diplomatist. Coming as a minister of peace and with a repu- , tation of the highest distinction for ability, upright- �8 REVERDY JOHNSON. ness and candor, he was met by a reception, both from government and people, never before accorded to an American minister. So general and so marked was this sentiment, that Lord Clarendon declared, in a letter to a friend in America, that "Mr. Johnson was the only diplomatic representative which had ever brought out the true friendly feeling of the British people for those of the United States." There was about Mr. Johnson a personal magnetism which drew and charmed the English mind, and his blended geniality and dignity of manner was calculated to confirm his influence. Entering upon negotiations with a mutual feeling like this, it is not surpTising that in the course of a few months a treaty was framed that embraced the main points in dispute. As is well known, however, the Senate refused to ratify it. It does not befit the occasion to consider the reasons assigned for its rejection. There was at the time a condition of popular and pai·ty feeling unfavorable for calm judgmei1t, and quite sufficient to account for the senatorial action, with out disparaging either the merits of the treat~,, or the skill and ability of the negotiator. There are not a few unprejudiced men who think that the subsequent treaty (which was ratified) did not differ very· essentially from the former, as to the value of the principles established or the material advantages gained. Mr..Johnson returned home in June 1869, and · resuming practice in the higher branches of hiR profession, continued it,·with unabated ardor, clown to the very clay of his lamented death. �REVERDY JOHNSON,. On the momjng of that day the 10th of February 1876, be bad come to Annapolis to argue, at the opening of the Court of Appeals the next morning, the first case upon the docket. Dining, witl1 other distinguished guests at the Executive mansion, his life was terminated suddenly, in the evening of that day, by the melancholy accident, the incidents of which are too well known to need repetition here. Apart from a natural shock at its character and yiolence, there would seem to be a happy fitness in the place and the occasion of his death. ]'ull of years and full .of honors, he had returned to his ~ative city to engage in another forensic contest in the same old Statehouse which had been one of the principal theatres of his fame, scarcely a hundred feet distant from the spot where he fell. Still nearer, on the right, stands the ancient mansion where his life began and his youth was nurtured, and a few hundred yards distant in another direction, rise the classic halls of his Alma Mater, where his education was received and he put on the intellectual armor which was to fit him for professional attainment. At the height of his fame, in the full possession of his faculties, with the devoted love of many kindred, the affection of numerous friends, and the uniYersal esteem of his countrymen, he passed out of life, without the pangs of sickness or the infirmities of decay,- by a painless death. In the calm retrospect of such a life, the associations of its ·close seem in fitting harmony with its history- the quiet sunset of an almost cloudless day. Mr. Johnson's earthly life was an eminently succesRful one, and to outward observation a happy one. • �10 REVERDY JOHNSON. I • Of calm and placid temperament, his disposition was not easily ruffled by the koubles of the world. Resolute in will, patient of results _ and of unusual self-control, he seemed to . possess the faculty of overcoming difficulties~ and of shaping events to a happy issue. High-minded ;:i,nd honorable in all his dealings, he never stooped to an unfairness. With the instincts of the perfect gentleman, his professional bearing was uniformly courteous and respectful. Amiable and kind-hearted, he was gentle and considerate towards all men. In all the relations of life he was exemplary. His heart was the home of pure and noble im.pulses, and he passed through life without a stain upon his reputation. J\!Ir ..Johnson always manifested a high sense of· the obligations of religion, and was a regular and reverential attendant upon its services. It was natural, therefore, and necessary to the completion of such a character, that -in his later clays, he should yield obedience to the requirements of the Church by a hearty reception of its ordinances. To my mind there is no more touching incident in his history, . than that which . witnessed the approach of the great lawyer and statesman, lean,. ing on the arm of bis son, to the chancel-rail of St. Paul's, and kneeling there with bowed bead to receive from the Bishop "the laying on of hanch~" in the holy rite of Confirmation. That was th.e consummationi the crowning glory of his life; . and from the spirit of 11umility and the testimony .of faith which inspired .a nd accompanied it, may his , ft~iends derive ,sure hope and consolation in his departure. · �REVERDY .JOHNSON. 11 NOTE. Mr. Johnson's death was caused by a fall, the precise circumstances of which are unknown. Dining at the Executive Mansion, he left the table before the other guests and was conducted by the Governor to the parlour for a short repose, as was his custom after dinner. About a half hour afterwards he was found lying on the pavement near the side of the house, bleeding and lifeless. It would seem that he had gone out alone in the dusk of the evening, and misled by his imperfect vision, had strayed from the path and fallen down an area connected. with the building, striking his head against a projection of the basement wall. Mr. Johnson had for several years been gradually losing his sight, making it unsafe for him to walk out alone, and occasioning his friends no little anxiety by his venturesomeness. For a long time he had been unable to read a line, and was wholly dependent upon others for the examination of authorities in the prepai·ation of bis arguments. But bis increasing blindness was borne with uncomplaining submissiveness, bis cheerfulness of spirit seemed never to leave him, and bis conversation was full of characteristic pleasantry and humour to the last. There is another subject of which mention should be made. Mr. J obnson took a deep interest in the welfare of bis Alma Mater, which was shown in various ways. For several years past be rarely omitted attending the exercises of Oommeucement, and his presence and speeches made the most attractive feature of the Alumni banquet. Those who were present will uot soon forget the occasion, upon which be alluded in touching terms to a visit, while in England, to St. J obn's College, Oxford; and how, as he wandered through its ancient Halls, his thoughts reverted to his boyhood clays and to his own Alma Mater so far away, until he gave utterance to bis feelings and told them of his indebtedness for intellectual culture to another St. John 's College in his native Janel. �FRANCIS THOMAS, A. M. FRANCIS THOMAS was born on the 3rd of February 1799 in Frederick County Maryland, where the larger portion of his life was passed except when absent in public duties. He obtained his collegiate education at St.John's and is credited on the records with having received the degree of Bachelor of Arts, but in what year, and with what class, does not appear upon the books. This, and other similar instances of omission, would seem to indicate a lamentable carelessness in keeping the records of the College at that period. _ He at once entered upon the study of the law and was admitted to the bar in 1820 when twentyone years of age. Of fine personal appearance and agreeable manners, having a rich voice and a ready command of the best language, he possessed in a remarkable. degree the outward qualifications for the orator. With a mind of great vigour imlffOved by high cultivation and varied reading, he had the power to make his influence felt among all classes of the community. He became at once an unusually attractive speaker and a successful advocate. Not confining himself to his practice he soon engaged in politics, and was sent to the Legislature in 1822, and by successive re-elections represented his district in the House of Delegates till 1~27. Returned again in 1829, he was chosen its speaker. �14 FRANCIS THOMAS. In 1831 he was elected to Congress and continued a member of the House of Representatives for ten years, withdrnwing· from that body, or declining a re-election, when, in 1841, he was elected Governor of the State. Previous to this period, in 1839, he was made President of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company. It was about this time that the· domestic trouble occurred which shadowed all his after life with sadness. This was a difference between himself and his wife, (a daughter of a distinguished citizen of Virginia,*) which at last terminated in a divorce. It attracted much attention and variety of opinion at the time, and much feeling was manifested by the friends of the parties on either side. The general impression, however, among disinterested persons was that there were no circumstances in the case which a spirit of mutual forbearance and coneiliation might not have reconeiled, and thus have prevented the lamentable result, affecting the happiness of both, a final separation. This event produced a lasting influence upon the character and the pursuits of l\ir. Thomas. A morbid sentiment took possession of his mind which crushed the impulses of ambition within him, and caused him to withdraw from public life. Fl'orn this 1·etirement he was re-called by the excitement which preceded the late civil war. He entered at once into the contest, and his popular addresses in defence of the Union revived the recollection of the eloquent efforts of his early days, especially a speech of great power and brilliancy' deliveted before a large meeting in the City of Baltimore. *Governor McDowell. �FRANCIS THOMAS . 15 His activity was not confined to popular appeals. By his personal efforts and infhience he earlyraised a considerable force, numbering at least a full regiDlent, the honour of 'c ommanding which he declined ' for the reason that he had no knowledge of military tactics, and was therefore unwilling· to assume such responsibility. ' · He SOOll . aftei· became a candidate foi; Oongr:ess and was.· returned · to the House of Representatives, by su:ccessive elections, from the year 1861 .to the )~ea!· 1869. . The crisis atoused all his energies 'and he participated ~argely in the debates in the , ouse, advocating with great earnestness H the leading measures ~f . the ' Government and yoting for the proposed · amen~ments to the Ooniltitution: . His speeches always connnanded mai-ked attention and were characterized by a breadth of view, and a statesmanlike .comprehension 'of principles, which went beyond the exigencies of the hour. All his contemporaries bear testimony to the graces of his oratory. In corinnanding presence, in voice and tone and gesture, and in power of thought and nervous elegance of langti.age, he ·w as unquestionably one of the most accoinplished orators that Maryland has produced, and in whose fame, therefore, his Alma Mater may justly take pride. And yet he himself seemed to attach but a subordinate rn.lue to the reputation, in comparison with acts and results. As he said to a fellow member, when a vote was about to be taken upon a measure of transcenden"t importance, in the defence of which he had taken a prominent part,- " Words die as men die; but the vote you are about to give will ' I �16 FRANCIS THOMAS. be recorded for all time, on the side of right or against it." In 1869, after the close of the 40th Congress, Mr. Thomas was appointed by President Grant, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Fourth District of Maryland, which included the place of his residence; a position which he held till April 1872, when he resigned it to become Minister to the Republic of Peru. This was the first diplomatic post, and the last public office, he ever filled. Returning from this mission in the summer of 1875, he told a friend that he intended to take no further part in politics, but to retire to his "mountain home," and spend the rest of his days in peace and tranquility. But alas! his pleasant anticipations were doomed to be suddenly extinguished. He did, indeed, resume the agricultural pursuits so congenial to his tastes on his farm in Alleghany Oo1mty, but not to continue them long. Absorbed ·in his plans of improvement, he was one day walking from one part of his estate to another on the line of the Rail Road, when, perceiving a train approaching, he stepped, to avoid it, on the other track, without observing that another train was coming from the opposite direction. All unconscious of his danger, he was in a moment struck b~T the engine and violently hurled several feet from the track. A small contusion on the back of the head and a larger bruise upon the shoulder were the only marks of the violence of the blow- but he "vas found to be insensible, and was not known to haYe spoken afterwards. Thus terminated, on the 22d of J anuary- 1876, the life of Francis Thomas, lawyer and �FRANCIS THOMAS. 17 statesman, just nineteen days before that of his compeer and friend, Revercly Johnson. How strange the coincidence by which two aged men, both eminent in the councils of their state and country, during the same period of rare histOTic interest, should meet their end by a fate so similar! In the case of Mr. Thomas, death came at what appeared to be a turning point in his career. Years of mental depression bad passed away, pecuniary embarrassments, which to a proud spirit like bis, sensitive to every obligation, must have been peculiarly irritating, had given place to a condition of comparative prosperity and he was relieved from future anxieties. He had brought with him from Peru a stock of Alpaca sheep, with the hope of being able to introduce the breed extensively, and bad formed various plans connected with agricultural pursuits, which he fondly expected would employ bis energies of mind and body for yet many years of vigorous life. And thus we purpose, day by day, "whereas we know not what shall be on the morrow." Mr. Thomas was well fitted for rural enjoyment; he had been a close observer of men and things, bad seen much of the world and realized its hollowness. Fond of reading and retaining what he read, his memory was stored with facts and incidents, that made him a delightful companion to the few intimates whose society he preferred to general intercourse. To such · he was wont to pour forth, in fluent words and animated manner, the flood of recollections which can1e welling up as from a copious fountain. · Nor "were these . mental traits merely the charm of private 2 �18 FRANCIS THOM.AS. life; they exerted a potent influence over men o independent thought and action,- and men ii high official station not unfrequently took counse; from his well-trained and thoughtful mind. :Ever President .Jackson himself is known to hav~ yielded him warm attachment and unboundec confidence. Like him, too, J\/[r. Thomas was i: man of imperious will, and as a politician ht sometimes manifested an arrogance of manne1 which contradiction aroused into vehemence. Holding it as a maxim that a leader should brook no opposition to his sway, he assumed absolute control over the inferior men of his party, and when such claim naturally excited revolt, he did not hesitate to ostracise the offender. Decided in his own convictions, he was often intolerant to the opinions of others. As a consequence of this lofty bearing he was perhaps more generally feared than loved. There was no question, however, of his integrity in word and deed. He believed ·w hat he asserted, and carried his belief into act. His conscientiousness was in some things pushed to an extreme. It is said that he would never accept any gift, however trifling, as a recognition of public service. John Quincy Adams himself was not more severely scrupulous in this respect. A similar instance in the life of each illustrates this characteristic of both. Some friends of Mr. Thoinas procured a costly cane as a token of their appreciation of his public conduct -which he respectfully declined! And the writer was present when Mr. Adams refused to receive a cane, made from an ash-tree cut at Ashland by Mr. Olay himself, which "the Young �FRANCIS THOMAS. 19 Whigs'' of Maryland had prepared as a mark of regard to "the old man eloquent," then a member of the House of RepresentatiYes. It may be well to add that the cane afterwards found a fitting recipient in Mr. Johnson, who had (he assured us) "no conscientious scruples against its acceptance." Notwithstanding the peculiarities of cliaracter to which allusion has been made, ]!fr. Thomas bad many · warm personal friends, who cherish the better qualities of the man while they admire the ability of the orator and statesman. His long· public services will be held in grateful remem brance by bis native State, and his name will ever live in her history as of one of the most eloquent and gifted of her sons. · �NINIAN PINKNEY, M. D., LL. D. Medical Director NrNIAN PINKNEY, of the United States Navy, the second son of Ninian and Amelia Pinkney, and nephew of the celebrated lawyer and statesman William Pinkney, was born in Annapolis, J)[aryland, on the 7th day of June, 1811. At an early age he entered St. John's College, and graduated with honor in the class of 1830. Upon leaving college he decided to adopt the profession of medicine, and after spending some time in the office of Dr. Edward Sparks, who was at that time ProfesRor of Ancient Languages in St ..J ohn'R College, young Pinkne3~ attended a two 3 ears course of lectures at the T J)[edical College in Baltimore, and then removed to Philadelphia, where he entered the .Jefferson Medical College, and during his whole course· of study at that institution, was noted for his enthusiastic love for his profession, as well as for bis patient research and original inYestigations. He graduated with high honor from that institution, and soon after received an appointment in the Medical Corps of the Navy, where he quickly rose to eminence in his profession; the records of the Navy showing many instances of his skill as a surgeon, to which none but those learned in surgery are competent to do full justice. It is sufficient to say here that Surgeon Pinkney amply fulfilled the promise of his early professional life, and �NINIAN PINKNEY. 21 w hen retired from the ~ervice at the age of sixtytwo, in the full possession of all his powers, he hacl been promoted to the rank of l\!t:eclical Director,the highest grade in t.he service. It was at this time that be received a letter from Medical Direct.or Johnson, which is given below as showing the estimation in which Dr. Pinkney was held by his professional brothers, and as explaining his connection with an important invention in surgery during his residence in Lima in the early years of his professional career. The letter bears elate January 11th 1873, which was about the time of Dr. Pinkney's retirement .. "My DEAR DOCTOR: I cannot allow you to. retire from the active service of the Navy without expressing to you the high estimate I place on your skill as a surgeon. In 1843 it was my pleasure to be present when you removed a portion of the lower jawbone from ~ young man in Lima. The fleet surgeon of the French Fleet was present on the occasion. The question arose as to the mode of the operation. The usual plan, as laid down by eminent surgeons as Sir Astley Cooper and Velpeau, was to make an incision along the lower portion of the jaw, and then carrying the incision to the corner of the mouth. I recollect well that you did not approve of this mode of operation, for two reasons: First, that the operation would be unseemly. Secondly, the division of the seventh pair of nerves would mar the expression of the face and leave an ugly scar. For the first time in surgical history you made a curvilinear incision below the lower border �22 NINIAN PINKNEY. of the jaw and extended it to the middle of the chin. By this mode of operation there was no disfigurement, and the operation was performed in a manner which elicited commendation at the hands of the French Fleet Surgeon, who had been a pupil of the celebrated Velpeau of France. The palm of originality was accorded to you, and you richly deserve it. (Signed,) WM. JOHNSON, Med. Director, U.S. Navy." During the whole of his professional career, Dr. Pinkney took a deep interest in the Medical Association, of which he was one of the founders. He was at one time Vice-President of the Association, a~d on t~o occasions was called upon to represent it abroad, at Leeds and Florence, the second time as chairman of the delegation from this country, and his report excited general interest on account of its exceptional ability and thorough carefulness. But not alone as a professional man is Dr. Pinkney deserving of our respect and admiration, for there are abundant proofs that he was possessed of that scholarly culture which graces the highest stations in life, enlarging and strengthening the intellectual powers, while it tempers the energies of the mind with "sweetness and light." A_ prominent clergyman of the Episcopal Church the Rev. Dr. Hutton, himself a scholar of no small attainments, and who was intimately acquainted vvith Dr. Pinkney, says of him: "I can speak from my own knowledge of his noble characteristics, and from personal experience of his many kindnesses to me �NINIAN PINKNEY. 23 and mine. I had a Ligh estimate of his great and varied powers- of his vast erudition in medical science- of his extraordinary learning outside of his profession, even to a large .c ompass of corn;titutional law and political philosophy- of his special gifts of oratory- and not least, of those genial qualities which rendered him so delightful in the social circle and made his presence so enjoyable to his friends, whether at his own hospitable mansion or elsewhere. I can never forget his kindnesses, his marked characteristics his almost marvellous ' powers and capacities." The Hon. Revcrdy John:son also entertained a, Yery hiu·h opinion of his • I"'.) knowledge of constitutional and international law, as well as of political philosopL,,:. In 1873 Dr. Pinkney delivered the Annual Address befor~ the Soci~tics of St..John's College, and on Commencement day the degree of LL. D. was eonferred upon him. This was the second address he had delivered at the College, having alreadr filled the posit.ion of orator before the Alumni somf\ years before. Be Wal'! an enthusiastic believer in the future t ..John's College, and a frequent and most e guest at our Commeneement Exercise ht> enlivened with his ready wit and ompanionship. Among the students of e he was the most popular of all the ni, and the annual banquet would ha hem at least a dull affair, without the :0 Army and Navv and Dr. Pinkney d eloquent resp~~se. I remem bel' evening of Commencement Day l e number of the students had of Rum- �NINIAN PINKNEY. phrey's Hall for a :final jollification, that Dr. Pinkney being on the College green and hearing our College glees, came up and joined us. We all called upon him . f~r a s.peech, and after some persuasion, he mounted a chair which some one had provided and made a short ·address to the boys, who crowded around him. Never could be have had a more appreeiative audience, and the . shoutR of laughter evoked by Rallies of wit, were f0llowed by cheer after ch eer from lusty lungs which made the campus ring- with merriment. This incident of which the writer was a witness, is mentione.d as indicative of ·wiiat he conceives to have been a prominent trait in Dr. Pinkney's character- his ready sympathy with the young. Surely there is no better proof of the existence of a kind heart than that this grey-hai"red veteran sympathized with the aspirations of youth, and loved the companionship of the young, and could p~rticipate with as keen a zest as any of us in the joyous mirth of our College life. The social qualities of Dr. Pinkney were indeed remarkable, and there are those present to-day who can bear better and fuller testimony than mine to his possession of many qualities which made his companionship fascinating to all who knew him. · By thus dwelling upon bis social characteristics it is not intended to imply that be was deficient in those more serious attributes which dignify and ennoble manhood. During his long service in the Navy Dr. Pinkney made hosts of friends among· his associates, n1a11y of whom held high rank, and his character was not only such as to win their love, but to compel their respect and admiration. �NINIAN PINKNEY. 25 His old friend and messmate Admiral 0. R. P. Rodgers, · exp1·essed a general opinion, when he said of him that he "was .as true as .steel and as brave as his own sword." Upon his retirern ent from actiYc service Dr. Pinkney took up his residence on his beautiful estate near Easton, Maryland, where he spent the remaining years of his life. It was here that be died on the 15th of December, 1877, in the sixtyseventh. year of his age, in the full communion of the Episcopal Olmr<;h, and in the full possession of all his powers. [N. B.-I regret my inability to make a more perfect sketch of Dr. Pinkney's life, but those of the Alumni who desire a more detailed account aTe referred to a very foll and appreciative sketch prepared by his brother the Right Rev. William Pinkney, which h as been largely used in the pTeparation of this memoir. J. S. W.] ,I �JOHN W AJ_,TER LYNCH, L. B. CLASS OF 1872. JOHN ~r ALTER LYNCH was qorn in Richmond, Indiana, on the 13th of January 1833, and at the age of eight years, removed with his family to Washington, D. C., his father having received an appointment in I the Post Office Department. In the early part of 1869 Mr. Lynch e.n tered St. John's College as a mern her of tl1e l!'reshman Class, and soon showed that he was endowed with intellectual gifts of a high order. He was thoughtful beyond his years, and in all his studies he displa~~ed originality and independent criticism. His classmates soon learned to loTe his quiet gentle nature, to appreciate his intellectual worth and to admire his frank and manly character. He ·was one of the best writers in College, and on one occasion he read an essay on Tennyson which Prof. Corson considered a most admirable critique, and one which displayed remarkable originality, as well t\.S a keen sympathy with poetic feeling and expression. At the end of his Sophomore year, ho felt compelled to return to W af3hington, ·w here for nearly four years he held a position in the City Post Office. He always manifested a deep interest in the welfare of the College, though the duties of his position often forbade him the pleasure of returning to take part in our celebrations and re- �~rOHN WALTER LYNCH. 27 unions. During bis residence in W asbington in 1873 and 1874, and while be held his position in the City Post Office, he studied law, graduated at the la"v school of the Columbian University, and at the April Term 1874 was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. In the summer of 187(j he went to Indianapolis, furnished with excellent letters and animated with bright hopes of success in his profession. Shortly after his anival there his health, which had not been strong for sometime before, began to giYe way, and in the very beginning of his professional career he was obliged to lay aside Lis books. :From r.h is time he grew steadily worse until in April 1877, he went to the Sanitarinm at Asheville, North Carolina, where bis sufferings were ended by death on the 18th of July 1877. ,I �RICHARD SWAN. materials for a biographical notice of RICHSwAN are very meagre, though an effort has been made to acquire more exact information. Richard Swan was a Virginian by birth, and when quite young removed with his family from his native place, Alexanclria, to Annapolis. It appears from our Catalogue of the College, p.uhlished in 1874, that J\i(r. Swan attended College from 1830 to 1832, but did not graduate. During· ~his period of his life he lived with his brother, who kept the Cit,1 Hotel in Annapofo;, and sometime afterwards he became proprietor of the hotel; together with James Iglehart. In those days the position was one which brought him into contaet with many leading men of the 8tate, with whom he was deservedly popular. Many lawyers from all parts of the State would spend two or three weeks at a time in Annapolis, waiting for the argument of their cases in the Court of Appeals, as the present custom of assigning a certain number of cases for each day of the term djcl not then prevail. It was probably during this time that 1\1.:r. Swan laid the foundation of that popularity which he possessed in after life. He was very much respected by the community in which he lived, and was honored by his fellow-citizens with several positions of public trust. He was J\!fayor of the THE ARD �H,ICHARD s·wAN. City of Annapolis, and served several terms in the City Council. He also represented Anne Arundel County in tbe lower House of the Legislature, and for a number of years filled the position of State Librarian. During many years of his life he was a director of tb_ bank in Annapolis, and in 1850 e he was appointed Commissary of the Naval Academy, and discharged the duties of the position with fidelity, until his death on the 7th of May, 1877. In all these positions of public trust Mr. Swan was faithful in the discharg'e of their duties, and bis conduct was such as to win the respect and esteem of an who knew bim. A good citizen and public-spirited man, he was equally respected in private life as a man of integrity and generous impulses. I ' ' ,I ' �.JOHN RIGGS BROWN, JI~., A . .M. FoR the third time are we called upon to chronicle the death of a member of the Class of 1859. The first was that of Richard R. Goodwin of Annapolis, the second of James Edgar Richardson of Anne Arundel County; and now we have to add to the roll that of .JOHN RIGGS BROViTN, who was born at Ellicott City, Howard County, on the 14tl1 of November, 1840, and died November 19th, 1877, in the 38th year of his age. He was the son of John R. Brown, a prominent farmer and highly esteemed citizen of Howard County, and a member of the House of Delegates of Maryland during the sessions of 1860- 1861. At an early age young Brown evinced a studiou:s disposition and a decided fondness for books, and after having received a good elementary education at the primary 1schools of the County, he waH sent to St. John's College, entering the Freshman Class in 1856. His course at College was a very creditable and successful one in all the studies of a full academic curriculum. B1it especially in linguistic studies and in general literature was his proficiency worthy of note. His attainments in these branches won the respect both of Professors and of Students; so that; although his class-standing at graduation . was not so high as it would have been, had he chosen to devote more time to mathematical and I �.JOHN RIGGS BROWN. 31 scientific studies, his literarr culture, ·we are a8sured, was superior to that of any of his cla:-;smates, and his msthetic faculties in general had received a development quite -unusual a.ruong- college graduates. Three years after leaving College, namely in 1862, he joined the Confederate A1:my, enlisting in Company A, First Maryland Cavalry, in which he served until the close of the war. He then returned to the residence of his father near Woodstock, Howard County, and engaged in agricultural pursuits unt il 1869, when he removed to Ellicott City and founded the "Ellicott Citr Times," a weekly newspaper, which he published with marked ability until his death . A friend and brother editor says of him: "l\1:r. Brown was endowed with far more than ordinary ability and intelligence. He was a keen observer of passing events, and always clothed his thoughts in graceful, pleasing and forcible language. For the profession of journalism he was peculiarly adapted, possessing, as he did, quick perceptions, true intuitions, varied information, and a just appreciation of the requirements of the people for whom he always wielded an able pen. He was a a young man of excellent judgment, and all that emanated from him was read with careful attention by the community for whom he wrote. His editorials were always seaso:i;ied with wholesome humor and spatkling wit; and, when provoked to recrimination, his caustic pen was used with telling effect. His talents gained him the respect .and admiration of all who knew him even but slightly, while his genial disposition and rare per- ,I �32 JOHN RIGGS BROWN. sonal fascination endeared him to all who knew him well. He was generous to a ·fault, sincere and ardent in his friendships,· warm and impulsive in bis sympathies, ·and always gentle, courteous, kind, and frank.''

STATE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BOARD AND TUITION. 11 he General Assembly of the State, (Acts of 1872, ch. :393, and 1878, ch. 315,) has provided for furnishing b1rn,rd, fuel, lights and washing to one of the six incumbent8 ofRtate Scholarships for tuition from each SPnatorial District in the State, to be appointed by the Board of School Commissioners. by and with the advic,e and consent of the Senators in their respective Di,stricts, after competitive examination. The law requires that candidates shall prodncti before the Board of School Commissioners satisfactorv evidence of their morn.I character, ancl of their inability: or the inability of their parent8 or giiardians, to pay the regular College charges.These Schohtrships are tenable for four years, and the incmnbei1ts are required by law to pledge themselves that they wili continue students ot the College for the foll term of four years, unless prevented by unavoidable necessity, and that they will teach School within the State for not less than two years after leaving· College. 1'o obtain a full Collegiate' edu-cation, the object contemplated by the Act, candidates shonlrl be prepared to enter at least the Freshman Class of the College; they will not hereafter be received into the Preparatory Department of the College. They are required to pursue the regular Acaclemic CJnrse in order to qmilify themselves for teaching hereafter. The Boards of School Commissioners are ccirnestly requested to exercise great care in the selection of these students, ancl especially to appoint none deficient fo preparation.

In seI:J.ding out the Catalogue of the Thirteenth Session :since the reorganization of ST. Jo1rn's COLLEGE, the Faculty ·would earnestly commend to the people of Maryland the advantages presented by the College for the attainment of a thorough and liberal edu_cation. The location of the College makes it easy of access from ·all portions of the State,. and its situation has been often ·commented on as peculiarly suitable for a Literary Institution. •I '•I The Departments of Instruction are fully organized and in complete working order, and the Course of S1mcly will ·challenge compatisou with that. of most first-class Colleges in the land. 'fhe effort is constantly made to raise the grade and imp1·ove the methods of instruction, and the amount of work done and results attained are not inferior to those of Colleges ''C'lsewhere. The liberality of the Legislature of 1872 has enabled the College to add largely to its Library and Philosopl1ical Apparatus, so that the facilities for scientific study have 'been greatly increased. E~pecially noticeable are th<!: extremely low terms charged (two hundred and seventy-five dollars) for tuition, room rent, board, fuel, lights, and washing-termR much less than those of Colleges in other States, and alto.gether insufficient to maintain the College but for the liberal assistance granted by the ~tate. In Teturn for this assistance, 'when it was first received with no conditions attached, the Board of Visitors and Governors established one hundred and fifty scholarships (six for each Senatorial District in the State,) entitling t.he holders, appointed by the Board of School Comr11issioners of the District, to exemption from payment of fen> fo1· tuition and room rent-thus limiting the charge for board, fuel; lights, and washing, for these students; to two hundr€cl dollars. Means were also provided by the Legislature ofl872 ,[Act amended hy the Legislature of 1878], for making twenty·six of the scholarships (one from each .Senatorial District) free of ap charges for board, foel, light.ti, and washing, uncler •certain conditions specified in the preceding Circular. ' 31 These are the great advantages which the College presDnts for the attainment of a Collegiate education by even the poorest who are properly qualified, to. avail th ems elves, of-them. Such are unable to go beyond ~he borde~s of the State and can thus obtain a liberal educat10r;i at theu very doors. And will those who are able to send their sons to well known Co!leges of other States refuse their patronage to ST. .ToHN s COLLEGE and thus neglect the opportumty now an.cl here afforclecl of building up a College, already th~ equal of rnan_y. of these, and which, by proper SUJ?port ~rom t.he peoJ?le ?± Maryland, may in t~me become tl:e nvalof any .111st1t~t10n m the land? A sufficient amount 1s annually dra;rned f1.0111 the State by.sending her sons abroad .for an educat10n wluch may. he obtained at home, to place tlns College above all want.VY-ill the people neglect th? l~terary ad'.'antages pre~en~e~ here) and go elsewhere for a snmlar education at greate1 cost. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

No student will be permitted to discontinue any study,. except at the close of a term, and then only at the written request of his parent or guardian. Students who do not study Greek will be required to study French or German, and those who do not study either Latin or Greek, will be required to study both French and German. These languages will be commenced by such students in the First Preparatory Class. The studies of students. of the Second Preparatory Class who do not study the Classics, will be so arranged that their time will be fully occupied. Students of the regular Academic Course a.re required to study either French or German during the Junior and Senior years, unless they shall have completed the three years' course in either language before reaching the Junior or Senior year.For classical students below the Junior Class, the French and German languages are elective studies. Students holding Senatorial Scholarships may hereaftersubstitute French and German for Greek, and in that case shall study the Senior Chemistry in the Junior year, and an additional course in Chemistry' during the Senior year. The study ofthe Differential and Integral Calculus will net hereafter be required in the case of those students whose time is otherwise fully occupied. Apparatus for Gymnastic exercises has been erected, and regular hours of exercise assigned for each class. The use of the Gymnasium is granted on payment of a small fee. Course of Instruction.

Additions will from time to time be made · to the philosophical apparatus, and every effort used to make the. labor.ato.ry and ?abinet as complete as possible. Contribut10ns for illustration of any of the branches of this department will be thankfully received. POST-GRADUATE COURSE. ' The Post-Graduate Course of Studies, extending through two years, and pursued at the College or ebewhere, is assigned by the Faculty to candidates· for the deO'ree of Master 0 of Arts. · Candidates for this degree are required to select at least two of the departments of ~tuclr specified in this Catalogue (page 19,) and under the d1rect10n of the professors in these departments to pursue their studies for the two years of the Post-Gr~,Juate Course, su~mitting to them such essays, or uu~ergomg such ?ral or. written examinations, as may be req mred to test their quahfi.catians for this degree. EXAMINATIONS, REPORTS, CONDUCT. \Vritten examinations on the studies of the entire term are held at the close of each term. The marks for these examinations are combined with the marks for daily recitations to make up .the ~tudent's standing for the term. Any student whose examrnat10ns at the close of a year shall evince an incapacity on his part to pursue with aclvantaO'e the studies of the class to which he belongs., will have offer~d to him on the firs~ .clay of th~ next year all" opportunity to retrieve his lost pos1t10n, and m default of doing so, will be reduced to a lower class. A s~udent deficient in knowledge, or persistently neO'lectful of any study, is at any time liable to be reduced to0 a lower class in that study. A merit roll is kept, and each recitation noted on the grade of from 0 to 5. In order to pass from a lower to a Circular of St. John's College. 21 higher class, each st?-de_nt must obtaiI~ an ave;ag~ of at least 2.5 each on his rec1tat10ns and on h1ti examrnahons for the Academic year. Demerits ~ill be given for abse?ce, and for violation of College regulations. Reports respectrng con~uct and scholarship, including all absences from College exe;mses, will be sent every 'two months to the parents or guar~ians of the students. Whenever any student of the Colleg1~te department has 100 demeritE for any one term, or 150 for the year, or any student of the Preparatory Department has 125 demerits for any trne term, or 200 for the year, he must leave ihe Institution. Each student is requirer! to obey all the laws of the ColleO'fil so long as he shall remain a member of it; and whenever :ny student can no longer cheerfully c~mp~y with College rules, he· will be required to leave the lnst1tut10n. All Stiidents are reqitired to be present promptly on the opening day of the s.ession, and no spudent wi'.l~ be permitted ~o 1eave the College while College exercises are. going on, exceJ?t i;i cnses of urgent necessity, and ctt the written reqitest qf . his pctrent' or gitardian. The attentioi~ of parents Cf'nd gitardi!J;ns is specially called to these regnlatwns, a_n~ their co-operation earnestly requested. They w:e also solicited, on the occasion of holidctys not to detain students Ht home beyond the time allotted Jo; sitspension of College. exercise~. Students absent from any .caii.se except protra:cted si.ckness, will be rncirked zero on all recitation8 inade during their ab8ence. When the cause of absence is sati.ifavtory to the Fliculty, they will be allowed to make up the omitted recitations. DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES.

It has been decided to carry forward the Institution on its former basis, with a view to a thorough and .satisfactory reorganization at the close of the coming year. In the meantime we warmly commend it to the patronage of the people under its present management. The new Principal, the Rev. Dr. Leavitt, is known to the country by his various writings, also as Eclitor of the ''American Church Review," as founder of the "International Review," and as President of Lehigh University. He brings to his work ripe experience as well as extensive reputation, and under his leadership we believe our College is entering on a more vigorous existence. We wish it to live in the confidence and the sympathies of the people of Maryland, and ask them to send their sons to be educateclin our venerable institution, so closely linked with the history of the State. On our part we pledge ourselves that every thing possible shall be done for their educational discipline. E8pecially we invoke our Alumni and the friends of the College to exert themselves in .adding to the number of its students during the coming year, .and by every suitable method to extend and perpetuate its 1 GRATTAN HAGNER, A.
