they wish them tc go through with the full

ages.
Capt Partridge cannot refrain from ex-
pressing his wish that those students (parti~
cularIy of the younger class) who do not
contemplate finishing their education with
him, should yet remain as long as circurn-
stances will permit, from conviction that
they would derive proportionally greater adj
vantages and he begs leave 10 assure the
American people, that no exertions will be
wanting on his part, TO render this seminary
(which WILDE equally open for the recep-
ton of students from every part OF the Unit
ted States) in all respects worthy Of their
patronage.
