It is deemed preferable that, in Greek and Latin, students should, so far as practicable, read entire works, rather than garbled and meagre excerpts from a large number of works.
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.
Beside instruction, according to the preceding course, in the evidences of Christianity and Moral Philosophy, the students are required to attend on the reading of the Scriptures and prayer, daily, in the chapel, and on public worship on the Sabbath. The Professors also give instruction on the Sabbath to the sev. eral classes, in a portion of the Holy Scriptures, and also in the shorter cate-

chism, to all who are members of Calvinistic churches, or sons of Calvinistic parents; and in their daily intercourse, inculcate the principles and duties of christianity.
-
GOVERNMENT.
It is the aim of the Faculty to govern the institution, not by minate regula- tions, euforced by a system of espionage and coercion, which provoke trans- gression and injure character; but by bringing the influence of moral principles io bear upon the students, andt bus throwing them, as far as practicable, upon their own responsibilities, and indneing them to govern themselves. Free and confi- dential intercourse between the students and their instructors is encouraged, an.i the government is parental in its character. Those students with whom these means are ineffectual, are silently returned to their parents or guardians.
SESSIONS FOR STUDY.
There are two sessions in each year. The first begins the last Monday of September, and continues (with a short recess at Christinas, ) until the last Thursday of March ; the second begins the last Monday of April, and continues until the third Thursday of August, which is the annual commencement.

ADMISSION.
Candidates for admission to college are required to furnish evidence of good moral character, of their proficiency in the part of the course of studies prepar- atory to the standing for which they are offered, and if from another college, a certificate of regular dismission.
It is earnestly urged upon students, their parents and teachers, that there be exactness and thoroughness in the elementary studies required to prepare pupils for college. Especially is it urged that there be an accurate acquaintance with the Grammars of the Latin and Greek Languages. This accuracy of elemen- tary knowledge is indispensable to the subsequent progress of the studeut. It is the purpose that examinations for admission to this institution shall be strict, and students must expect to take the grade for which they are found to be qualified. The present condition of the Preparatory Department is such, that confidence is felt in recommending it to parents as a school where the instruction is such as to qualify its pupils for entering the higher classes with the prospect of advantage in their subsequent course.
Those who do not purpose to pursue a full college course are allowed to at- tend to such stadies as they desire, either in the preparatory department, or in any of the higher classes.
Payment of college bills is required in advance; and no deduction is made on account of absence, except in case of sickness.

STATISTICS OF HANOVER COLLEGE.
Since its charter ONE HUNDRED AND SIX students have graduated from Hanover College : of there forty-nine are now preachers of the gospel of whom, all but eight arc in the Old School Presbyterian church, and of these eight, five are in other Presbyterian bodie :. Eight others are now theological students.
Of the much greater number, amonting to many hundreds, who have spent a considerable time in the college, and received their literary education in it, but did not graduate, the number now in the ministry is believed to be some thirty or forty, chiefly in the Old School Presbyterian cimrch. Among these are sev- eral of the most esteemel ministers in the Synod of Indiana. . The whole num- ber of ministers of the gospel sent out from the college during the few years of its existence, then, is not much less than ore hundred-almost all of them labor- ing in the great West, from Pennsylvania to Missouri, and from Iowa to Louisi- ana. A very respectable fraction of the Synods of Cincinnati, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, are fron this number. It is believed that a very large proportion of thesc would never have entered the ministry bat for this collegc.
Hundreds of other students not in the ministry, including fifty-seven Aluinni, are scattered throughout the West and South, most of whom are known to be occupying honorable and useful positions in society.
In view of these facts, may not the cordial support of Western Presbyterians be confidently asked for an institution which, in so brief a time, has accomplished so much in supplying the West with a Presbyterian ministry? All this has been accomplished, too, with very limited means, and amidst a continual struggle with pecuniary embarrassment, occasioned first by the adoption of the Manual La- bor System, and subsequently by a Tornado, and by the overwhelming pecu- niary disasters that fell upon the country.
ADDITIONAL REMARKS.
The location of this institution, within one mile of the Ohio river, between the two flourishing cities of Cincinnati and Louisville, and six miles from the city of Madison, makes it casy of access from the vast region for which that stream is the great thoroughfare.
13Its situation in a small and retired village, of great salubrity, gives to it ADVANTAGES in respect to cheapness of living, health, and exemption from the temptation of more populous towns.
