the
Senior department and sustained a satisfactory examination at the end
of the course before a committee of gentlemen from abroad appointed by
the Faculty, shall be entitled to the degree of Bachelor of Science."
Hon. John Kelley and Samuel Fletcher, Esq., having been appointed a
committee to consider the question of opening the school, made the
following report:
"The Chandler Fund appears to be safely invested and productive. It is
therefore recommended, the school shall be opened for instruction at
the commencement of the next College Term, and more fully organized as
soon as a sufficient number of students shall offer themselves for
admission. But as an experiment is to be made, it is not expedient to
appoint professors and other teachers, until experience shall prove

that examination of students presenting themselves for admission to
the school be made by some member, or members of the Faculty, by the
direction of the President, and that the Faculty be a committee to
make suitable provision for rooms and instruction until further orders
of this Board."
The following resolution was then passed:
"_Resolved_, That the Chandler School be opened at the commencement of
the next College Term."

Hon. Joel Parker, and Rev. Silas Aiken, D.D., of Rutland, Vt.:

the winter, and one in the spring and autumn of one week each.
"Tuition.--Every student in the Senior department shall be charged ten
dollars each term, or thirty dollars for the year, including all
necessary incidentals. In the Junior department the tuition shall be
twenty dollars for the year, or five dollars for each term. The bill

permitted to go on with his class without an exact compliance with
this statute.
"Government.--In other respects the government of the Chandler School
shall be administered according to the By-laws of the college, as now
established, so far as those laws may be applicable; and until the
wants of the School may be more definitely ascertained, the regulation
