Mr.. William l.. Harris, during period Of about eighteen
months performed the duties Of tutor in Hampden sgd
ney College. My daily intercourse with him gave inc
many opportunities Of ascertainng his proficiency in tho
languages and in other branches Of study connected with
the college He has shown himself to be well
quanted with the Greek and Latin Languages, which he
translates with facility and accuracy not often found
in classical scholars He translates the French Lam
guage with considerable ease and has acquired some
knowledge oil Spanish and Italian. He is familiar with
the branches Of Algebra and Geometry generally taught
in classical schools and academies andn addition these
acquiremen he possesses the important advantage Of an
excellent English education which many Of our Greek
and Latin scholars deficient confident that no
will perform the part Of faithful instructor and would
recommend him TO parents and guardians whose
pecepts and example will improve the character Of tho
pupils entrusted to him, less than his instruction will
contribute to tho cultivation Of ar 4hsiT minds
