Yale College is a noble institution. Oh that we had a few like it in England! The Faculty consists of 25 Professors--men who would be an honour to any country, 7 "Tutors," and 6 "Instructors." At the time of our visit there are 584 students thus classified:-- Theological Students 53 Law " 62 Medical " 52 Resident Graduates 5 Undergraduates,-- Seniors 121 Juniors 90 Sophomores (wise fools) 112 Freshmen 99 ----- 422 ----- Total 584 Candidates for admission to the Freshmen Class are examined in Cicero's Select Orations, the whole of Virgil and Sallust, and the first three books of Xenophon's Anabasis, together with various "Readers," "Exercises," and Grammars. The whole course of instruction occupies four years, each year being divided into three terms or sessions. With regard to expense, the annual charges made by the Treasurer are-- DOLLS. CENTS. For instruction 33 00 For rent of chamber in college (average) 12 00 For ordinary repairs and contingencies 2 40 For general damages, sweeping, &c. 3 60 For expenses of recitation-rooms 3 00 ----------- 54 00 = £11. 5_s._ Board is obtained at prices varying from a dollar and a quarter to 3 dollars a week. To a majority of the students, the cost of board is less than 2 dollars a week, or, reckoning the dollar at 4_s._ 2_d._, less than 8_s._ 4_d._ Fuel is procured by the College Corporation, and sold to the students at cost-price. The students provide for themselves bed and bedding, furniture for their rooms, candles, books, stationery, and washing. In the several classes and literary societies subscriptions to a small amount are required. If books and furniture are sold when the student completes his course, the expense incurred by their use will not be great. The following is an approximate estimate of the _necessary_ expenses, without including apparel, pocket-money, travelling, and board during vacations:-- DOLLARS.
