BELOIT COLLEGE.
Beloit College was founded under the combined auspices of the Presbyterian and Congregational Churches of Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. It was located in the year 1845, received its charter from the Legislature of Wisconsin in 1846, and the Corner stone of its first edifice was laid on the 24th of June, 1847.
Instruction was commenced with the first regular College class, in the Fall of 1847. Three in that class were graduated in 1851. Since that time, a regular succession of classes has been kept up, making the whole number of graduates to this time, forty.
The Institution provides for a full colligate course of four years, with a standard of scholarship on a par with that of the best Eastern Colleges, a scientific course of two years, which embraces the Mathematics, Science and English literature of the college course without the classics, a Normal Department and a Preparatory Department. The following gentlemen compose the Faculty of the Institution, viz.
President and Professor of History and Civil Polity .- Rev. Aaron L. Chapin, D. D.
Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy .- Rev. Miles P. Squier, D. D.
Halc Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy .- Jackson J. Bushnell; A. M.

BELOIT APPENDIX.
Principal of the Preparatory and Normal Departments .- John P. Fisk, A. M.
Tator in Mathematics ---
The College has two plain, but substantial and commodious buildings, already completed. The first erected, now ealled Middle College, is occupied mainly with rooms for recitations, lectures and other public purposes. The North College is dc- voted to the use of the students for dormitories and a boarding establishment. A third building is to be commenced immediately, to provide a chapel and school-room for the Preparatory and Normal Departments.
The Library of the College embraces nearly three thousand volumes, and arrangements are made which will insure its pro- gressive increase in the future. In addition to this, the Ar- chean Society and the Missionary Society have libraries num- bering more than five hundred volumes.
The Cabinet contains specimens of most of the minerals and rock formations of our country, together with a large collection of marine and fresh water shells, and a valuable botanical eollee- tion, which embraces more than fifteen hundred species of plants, many of theui foreign to this country.
The Departments of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy are illustrated hy some valuable apparatus.
Candidates for admission to the Freshman Class are exam- ined in the following books, viz :
Cicero's Select Orations ; Virgil ; Sallust or Caesar's Gallie War; Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar.
Colton's or Owen's Greek Reader ; Sophocles's or Crosby's Greek Grammar.
Thompson's Higher Arithmetic ; Loomis's Algebra through Simple Equations ; English Grammar ; Geography.
Satisfactory testimonials of good moral character are requir- ed, and no one can be admitted to the Freshman class until he has completed his fourteenth year, not to an advanced standing without a proportionate increase of age.
In the full collegiate course, the branches of study are distri- buterl through the four years' course of instruction according to the following schemc.

BELOIT APPENDIX.
In the Rhetorical department, each member of the Junior and Senior elasses presents, onee in two weeks, an oration or written discussion for criticism ; each member of the Freshman and Sophomore classes, a composition or original declamation ; and each of the other members of the Institution, a composition or selected declamation. There is also a publie Rhetorical Ex- ercise, once a week, at which the Collegiate classes present original, and the other classes selected deelamations. *
At the close of the first and second terms, each of the classes is examined before the Faculty in the studies of the term. At the eloso of the Sophomore and Senior years, examinations are held on the studies of the two preceding years. The Biennial examinations are conducted wholly in writing, and occupy from two to three weeks.
In this system of instruction, the proportion established be- tween the different branches of learning is adapted, as much as possible, to give a symmetrical development to all the powers of the mind. The object aimed at is not, in any sense, to com- plete, but to make good the beginning of a liberal education, by a thorough drilling in those principles of literature and sci- ence, which are the common basis of high intellectual attain- ments in every profession of life.
Students who desire to pursue an ad, aneed course of study in English Literature, Mathematics and Seienee, can have the opportunity of doing so in connection with the College elasses. Candidates for this course will be examined thoroughly upon all the English studies required for admission to the Freshman elass.
The course of study embraces the Mathematics, Seience and English Literature of tho whole College course.
The College is as yet but partially endowed. The aggregate of its property may be estimated at 8125,000.
The design of the founders of the Institution was to establish a complete College for the most thorough liberal education. Its character and reputation attest that this design has been in measure, already realized, and it has a flattering prospect for its future enlargement. Without exerting a sectarian influence, it is the aim of the faculty to combine, in due proportion with the elements of intellectual culture, the principles of sound mo- rality, and a pure christian faith.
The Annual Commencement is held on the second Wednes- day in July. The division of the year into terms and vacations is the same for all the departments, and is as follows; The first

The Trustees take great pleasure in expressing their entire satisfaction with the indefatigable exertions of Mr. Beanc, to make onr Seminary what such an iostitution should be.
The long and ripened experience of the Principals and their assistants enables them to bring to this position the best possi- hle facilities for securing a thorough education, and it is believed that everything essential to this result will be combined in the plans of instruction. Parents from abroad may commit their danghters to the care of Mr. and Mrs. Bcane, with the fullest assurance that their morals and manners will be a special object of eare and culture, in the family no less than the school room.
L. G. FISHER, President.
B. DURHAM, Secretary.
The subscriber begs leave to say that it will still be his con- tinued endeavor to redeem fully the pledges made on his behalf by the Trustees, and to make the school, in all respeets, what it should be. Having had many years' experience, as an cdueator of youth, he confidently expects that, with the aid of a corps of efficient and accomplished Teachers, he will be able to make the school second in value to no one in the West or in the East.
The most thorough instruction will be given in all the branebes of a substantial and polite edneation.
Prof. Manuel Emelio will take charge of the Department of Vocal and Instrumental Music. The other Departments are all filled by accomplished Teachers.
Frequent leetures on various subjects of . pratieal importance will be given by tho Principals.
Classes in the natural sciences will be permitted, in company with one of the Teachers, to attend Lectures, Philosophical, Astronomical, etc., at the College. The winter term will fur- nish especial advantages in this respect, as a valuable course of lectures is expceted.
The discipline of the sebool will be firm, but kind and pater- nal. Especial attention will bo paid to the health, morals and manners of the pupils. Nor will the culture of the heart be a sceondary consideration. Boarding pupils will be regarded as members of the family, enjoying constant intercourse with tho Principals and Teachers, and no efforts will be spared to provide

for them a pleasant home, constantly pervaded by elevating and refining influences.
To those residing at a distance it is proper to say, that Be- loit possesses many attractions, as the location of a Female Seminary. The healthfulness of the climate, beauty of the place and of the surrounding country, together with the peculiar social, literary and religious advantages which it possesses-all ' combine to make it a most desirable place of resort for young ladies wishing to enjoy the best advantages.
Applications for admission should be early made to the Prin- cipal.
Circulars will be forwarded by mail to those who request it.
