ches will not be considered as comprised ii
| the regular course of education, aud conse-
%ouentiy those who attend to them will be
charged separately. The amount of this
charge will be as reasonable as. possible, and
probably much less than is usually paid for
instruction in them. Each student, on Join
ing the Academy, will be required to pay one
quarter tuition and room rent in advance !;
after which, payment will be required at the
expiration OF every second quarter.
Young gentlemen. destined for a college
education, can be prepared at this seminary
for admission into any College or University
in the country, either as freshman, or one Or
two years ia advance, and, in the mean time,
will be enabled to acquire Q good military
and scientific education. Young gentlemen,
also. destined for the navy, caa here be in
structed in the scientific part OF their profess
sion, and, al the same time, obtain a correct
knowledge of iortihcation, and ut military
operationsgenerally ON land, which it is be-
lieved, they would find highly useful in fu-
ture life. Parents and guardians who are
DESTROYS of placing their sons or wards at
this seminary, are requested 70 give notice
accordingly, to Capt. Partridge, through the
medium of the post office, previous to the
first of September next, and tostate whether
they wish them to go through with the full
course of education, and, if not, to specify
particularly those branchesto wlfichthey de-
sire them to attend, and also to mention their
ages.
Capt. Partridge cannot refrain from ex-
pressing his wish that those students (parti,
cularly of the younger class) who do not
contemplate finishing their education with
him, should yet remain as long as circum-
stances will permit, from a conviction that
they would derive proportiona!ly greater adj
yantages and he begs leave to assure the
American people, that no exertions will be
wanting on his part. to render this seminary
(which will be equally open for the recep-
ton of students from every part OF the Uni
ted States) in all respects worthy OF their
patronage.
