Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of the College of William and Mary, 1905-1906 Besides salubrity of climate, the College has other advantages. It is situated in the most historic portion of the United States. Jamestown, the seat of the first permanent English settlement on the American continent, and Yorktown, where Lord Cornwallis surrendered, are only a few miles distant. Williamsburg itself was once the capital of the State, and is full of interesting memories. The College is the oldest in the United States, except Harvard, and was the first to introduce the modern system of class lectures; the first to have chairs of Law, Modern Languages, and History; the first to announce the elective system of study; the first to award collegiate medals - the Botetourt medals - and it is well known that the Phi Beta Kappa Society, established at William and Mary in 1776, was the first Intercollegiate Fraternity in the United States. The College has been distinguished for its eminent professors and students; and its long history of two hundred and fourteen years is full of vicissitudes of fortune. It is second to none in the influence ´it has exerted upon the history of the United States. It is impossible to suppose that a student can live in the presence of the associations that cluster everywhere, without being inspired by them. Matriculation. New students will present themselves, if possible, at the President´s office at 10 o´clock on the opening day (September 17). Each new student will be assigned to the care of an advisory committee, who will help him to arrange his courses, and aid him in getting proper credits for good college work done elsewhere. Fees. The fees of the College are as follows: Matriculation fee, $5.00; tuition fee, $35.00; gymnasium fee, $5.00; medical fee, $3.00. Of the tuition fee, $17.50 must be paid on entrance, and $17.50 on the 1st of February; all other fees must be paid in full on entrance. The tuition fee is not required of those who hold State scholarships. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
