�HISTORY OF TIIE COLLEGE.
CENTRE CoLLlWE was chartered by the Lr.f;islature of Kentucky, in 181!).
JERKMIAII CHAMBERLAIN, D. D ., the first President, went into office in
1823. In 1824, the Board of Trnstees, according to an arrangement with
the Presbyterian Synod of Kentucky, procured an Act of the Legislature
modifying its charter, so as to secure to the Synod, on its payment of
:;j,20,000 to the funds of the Institution, the right of appointing the Board
of Trustees. This condition having, in 1830, been completely fulfilled on
the part of the Synod, all the members of the Board have, since that period,
been appointed by the Synod, as their terms of office, from time to time,
have expired. One-third of the Board are appointed each year.
Dr. CHAMBERLAIN resigni:d his office in 1826, and the Reverend GJDEON
BLACKBURN, D. D., succeeded him in 1827, the office having, in the
meantime, been temporarily filled by the Rev. DAVID C. PRoc·.ron.. On
the resignation of Dr. BLACKBURN, in 1830, Joui, C. YOUNG, D. D., wns
elected. Dr. YouNG died in office June 23d, 1857, and on tbP, 6th of
August following, Rev. L. "\V. GREEN, D. D., was elected bis successor,
and entered upon bis duties January 1st, 1858. Dr. GnEEN died in office
lllay 26th, 1863, und on the 15th of October following, Rev. w~r. L.
BRi:cKINRIDOE, D. D., was elected President. He accepted, the 20th of
the same month, and immediately entered upon the duties of his office.
THE FUNDS.
The original amount paid by the Synod to obtain the right of appointing
the Board, was entirely cc.nsumed in the buildings, apparatus, library and
current expenses, and in 1830 the College was wholly destitute of means.
Since that period, funds have been contributed by the liberality of various
individuals, which, as invested by the Board in stocks of various kind~, and
notes, form an endowment equivalent to about $105,000. The funds are
annually increasing from legacies, ancl donations. The Synod at its meeting in Lebanon, 1858, authorized the Board of Trustees to make application
to the Churches for the sum of $50,000, to be appropriated to the erection
�13
IIISTORY O}' TJJE COLLl£OE.
of ndditionnl College buildings, and for other purposes needful for the full
equipment of the College.
This sum h~s been raised by subscription, through the liberality of the
friends of the College, within the limits o(' the Synod of Kentucky. A
large part of this fund has been paid in, and but for the unfortunate
troubles of our country, a new edifice would have been under way, if not
already completed. A plan for a building has been adopted by the Board
of Trustees, and a committee appointed to superintend its erection, who are
only waiting until it shall appear to be safe and economical, to go forward
with their work.
The Library erected by the liberality of D. A. SAYRE, has been corupleted and is now in use.
ADMISSION.
Candidates for admission into nny Department of the Institution are
examined by the Faculty, and placed in the class which they are prepared
t(• enter.
Candidates for admission into any particular class, must stand an
examination on all the course previou,ly pursued by the class. But students
desiring to pursue some special branch of study, arc permitted to enter any
class for which th ey are found prepared, subject, however, to the direction
of the Fnculty in the amount of study required-which shall always be
equal to that of the regular students.
In all cases, the candidate is required to present satisfactory testimonials
of his moral character and stundin~ in the institution which he last nttended.
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
DISCIPLINE.
AND
The recitations of each dny are opened with the worship of God, in the
Cbnpul, and religious instruction is given, through the study of the Holy
Scriptures, to 1111 the classes, on Monday of each week, instead of one of
the ordinary recitations. These services, together with the public preaching
of the Gospel, all tbe students are expected to attend-unless specially
excused from any of them.
BOARDING AND EXPENSES.
'
The stwl, 11ts do not board and lodge together, but in private families; in
which they enjoy the advantages of Christian society, and are thus pre\ t· , J l ,,· > n many temptations.
Board, including fuel, washing and lights,
�14
CENTRE COLLEGE CATALOGUE,
can be obtained at from $4,00 to $4,50 in the town, and from $3,50 to $4,00
in the country.
Tuition, iucluding $5,00 extra for fuel, servants hire, &c., is $50,00 per
annum, and must be paid semi-unnuRlly in advance. Those who enter
two months after the session has commenced, are charged in proportion to
that part of it that may remain.
Young men of limited means, preparing to preach the Gospel-when
suitably recommended, pay no tuition fee. The sons of Presbyterian
M'inisters, also, are admitted to all the privileges of the C'Jllege, without
charge.
EXAMIN A'J:'IONS.
There are two public examinations of all the classes-one in the middle
of the college yea~ and another at the close-held before a committee of
the Synod, and conducted by each profesor in his own department. These
examinations are either 0ral or written, or both combined, and are designed
to test thoroughly each stuuent's knowledge of the studies of the session.
The final examination of the graduating class is held four weeks before
the close of the session, in 1he presence of a commiltee of the Synod.
LITERARY
SOCIETIES-LIBH,ARI.H:S.
There are two Literary Societies connected with the College . . They hold
public exercises on the 22d of February, and on the Wednesday preceeding
Commencement, 0ach year. The nu~ ber of volumes in their lib, aries
11mounts to about 3,500. The College Library contains over 2,000 volumes.
COMMJ:CNCEMENT-V ACA TONS.
The session opens on the second 1\bnclay of September, nnd continues,
with a recess dL1ring the Christmas Holidays, until the last Thursday of
June, on which clay the annual Commencement is held.
LOCATTON OF THE COLLEGE.
The College is located in D11,,ville, in the centre of the State. This town,
which is also the seat of the Dnnville Theological Scminai-y of the Presbyterian Church, of the State Institution for the education of the Deaf
and Dumb, and of two flourishing Female Schools, is easily reached by
public conveyances, us by private travel, from every part of the country.
�HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE.
15
PREPARATORY SCHOOL .
It is the intention of all concerned in the immediate management of this
Institution-while they l).fier a thoroLJgh and liberal course of instruction
in the Uollege classes-to take care that a like School of Primary instrnction be maintained under their general supervision.
The course of instruction will be strictly adapted to the preparation of
young men for the Freshman class in Centre College.
Young men partially prepared for one of the College classes, but needing
additional instruction in some speciul branch, can receive this in the
Preparatory Department without any additional charge.
