like other departments, its own distinct Professors, as "A
Normal Suhool."
   The instruction in the primary, and most essential branches
of this department, together with the classification of the
pupils, and all the minuter details of interior organization,
are confided to two Professors, with the advice and assistance
of the President, while the general government and adlminis-

to neglect, much less wholly to omit, these primary studies,
for any personal advantage, real or imaginary, to be derived
from the higher studies of the college proper. Yet, should
any pupil possess, (as many do,) such intimate acquaintance
with the studies of the Normal School, or such aptness, and
industry, that, in the judgment of the Faculty, he may profi-
tably devote a portion of his time to the higher studies, then,
