There would be three English Fellows.
There would be fifteen Scholars, and a sufficient Number of School-Boys for a constant Supply.
Besides a Number of Batchellors and Masters of Arts, who would wait till they came in Fellows or Professors, or got to be made Surveyors or County Clerks.
For all this there might easily be contrived Room in the College, especially if a Hall was built in the Place intended for the Chapel.
As also would there be Room enough for the House-Keeper, Officers, and Servants; especially if a Quarter was built for the Negroes, &c.
The Tables might then be distinguish'd into four higher or four lower, viz.
The upper Table for the President and Masters.
The second for the Masters of Arts, &c.
The third for the Batchellors of Arts.
The fourth for the Scholars and Commoners.
The four lower Tables should be
The first for the House-Keeper, and the upper School-Boys.
The second for the Usher, Writing-Master, and the lower School-Boys.
The third for the Servitors and College Officers.
And the last for the Indian Master and his Scholars.
This Regularity might easily be effected, and would prove not only decent and creditable, but also useful and advantageous to the Country and the College.
The Library is better furnished of late than formerly, by the kind Gifts of several Gentlemen; but yet the Number of Books is but very small, and the Sets upon each Branch of Learning are very imperfect, and not the best of the Sort.
To remedy this Defect proper Application should be made to the Societies and to the superior Clergy in England, who would give at least what Duplicates they have upon such an useful Occasion; and what necessary Collection of Books cannot be obtain'd by begging, they may buy as soon as they shall be able to stock their Library; as a great Help to which I believe considerable Contributions would be made by the Clergy, Burgesses, and Gentry of the Country, if upon easy Terms they were allowed the Use of the Library at certain Hours, at such Times as they shall be at Williamsburgh, either for Pleasure or upon Business.
