GRAMMAR DEPARTMENT.

When the children are prepared to leave the Infant Department, they shall be placed any time not exceeding one month, under a judicous discerning Inspector, [Vice-president,] who, after having received the reports of the Professors in the Infant Department, and made strict inquiry concerning them, may, by careful observation, and actual trial, be able to decide whether the talents of each, (rising at least to full mediocrity,) merit a regular Collegiate course. If the decision be favourable, the pupil shall enter the Grammar Department, and from his 10th to his 14th year, study the Latin and Greek languages, and pursue the ordinary preparatory steps for a complete Collegiate course.*
