I am sorjpy jto 1 ^ wader * the necessity ( though not , I hope and , trust , from the conduct of any whom I now address ) of strengthening into an admonition ., I refer to the greater latitude with which
you are necessarily here entrusted with the management of your expenses . In this way you are put upon your trial , how far you are qualified fot being afterwards left more entirely to your own discretion . This is the season of life in which the
first , and perhaps the most important , lessons are to be learned in the necessary duty of frugality ; a duty essentially necessary to the respectability of the human character in every station and circumstance , but more essentially indispensable to the respectability of those who are liable to be confined in future life to a
very- hunted income . It is therefore with concern and surprise I learn that the notice formerly given , " That all credit with tradesmen was prohibited , without the knowledge and consent of the Tutors , "
has not been universally attended to , but that debts frave been contracted to a considerable amount , and that , in some instances , Students have actually left the College and the city without a final settlement of their accounts . Such a
conduct , at once disgraceful to the parties concerned and discreditable to the institution , can on no account be allowed in future ; and I am directed by the Committee to give notice , that the rule to
which you have all subscribed your names respecting the incurring of debts , will in future be strictly enforced ; and if its infraction can in no other way be prevented , the highest sanction in their power will be interposed for its support .
" But as it is always more agreeable to me to distribute rewards than threaten punishments , ( to those , indeed , whom I now address , I trust it will only operate as a caution , ) I am happy to conclude ; this address by announcing , that the prizes for diligence , regularity , and proficiency , are awarded to Mr . John Howard Ryland , Mr . Richard Martineau and Mr . John
Chatfeild ; Mr . Philips * prize for proficiency in Classical Literature to Mr . Ryland ; the Mathematical prizes offered by a Mend to the College , m the senior class to Mr . Tayleur , in the junior Jo Mr , Ryland ; the Elocution prices , tw * th tha ^ for . jnipro vement during the session , ani for delivery ofvhis Oniityn ^ ^ Ijitv GeorgeCheetham , With * regard \ i $ the President ' s f Ifee , for extemporary speaking , I have to offer his request that it may be ^ accepted as unanimously awarded by ¦ ffie Students ; but wMe I a&triV % * i > feelinK of $% rlety which ^ eeihs to pervade the generafbody against the ^ rverslon of that talent which * hey appeal to dread , I am ^ persuaded their ^ xc ^ eUen ^ rriendt who proposed the prize did not contemplate such a itae of

it , but had iu contemplation only the desirable faculty of expressUig good sense in Unpremeditated lang ; uage as applied to professional emergencies ^ and , ; tluit ; att my young friends may derive great advantage from the possession of this giffo in the exercise of their public , but more especially of their private ministry , t&ey may take the word pf le that wants it , and has many times experienced the mortification of wanting it , when sudden occasions have called for its practical application . "
The examination then closed , with a short devotional exercise , and the company separated much pleased with the employment of both days . N . B . The next session , commences September 21 , at which time all Students are expected punctually to attend .
