NEW HAMPTON INSTITUTION.

NEW HAMPTON INSTITUTION.
The Trustees are DESTROYS of rendering
the course of studies in this Institution as
thorough and extensive as the circumstan
ces of the students who resort to it, may
require. For this purpose they have ar
ranged the studies of each Department in
the order in which they wish to have
them pursued.
The Senior English Department is
designed to give thorough course of in
struction in English literature and Sci
ence. The advantages arising from sys-
tenn, in the arrangement of the studies to
be taken up each year, will be obvious to
every one upon moments reflection
1t is hoped that young men will feel its
importance, and, as far as possible, make
their arrangements to pursue the course
without interruption. But, while we are
DESTROYS OF introducing order and system,
no effort will be wanting on the part of
the teachers to prepare those. whose cir
cumstances requires shorter course, for
teaching, or mechanical and mercantile
business We feel fully assured that
their interests will be really promoted by
our present plan
1t is designed that, in the Classical De-
partment, the course shall be sufficiently
thorough and extensive to enable the stu
dent subsequently, to advance in Collegi-
ate studies with facility. The general
deficiency of preparatory studies in ele-
mentary knowledge is justly lamented
To obviate this complaint, has been, and
IS still, with the Trustees, a prominent
object. The constituting and parsing Of
the books on the list of acquisitions for
entrance into our New-England Colleges,
demand an application of not less than
tro full gears. Regarding the interests
of the students themselves, the character
of the Institution, and the advancement of
Classical learning, none deficient in the
required qualifications, will be considered
entitled to our recommendatory certii-
Gates for admission TO college.
By examining the list of students in the
Theological Department, it will be seen
that the Trustees have selected such as will
fix upon the young men habits of close
and patient thought, while they have not
overlooked their more direct bearing up
on future usefulness. Fully confirmed in
the opinion that the wants Of the church
in this State and in our country generally,
demand that this Department should ex-
list they have determined to sustain it Wig
orously, by making every laudable effort
to secure an extensive library, competent
instruction, and whatever else will make
it blessing 10 the church and the world.
In addition to the studies of the regular
course, instruction will be given, when
ever thought advisable, in Greek and
Hebrew.
The building occupied by the Female
Department is to be remoddled and en-
larged upon before the opening of the
Spring Term. A spacious and convent
ent edifce is also about to be erected,
which will contain at least fifty rooms to
be occupied as studies, with a dormitory
attached to each.
In connection with these improvements
the Trustees have judged it expedient that
regular courses of study should be pre-
scribed, one exclusively English. the
other embracing the Latin, Greek, French
and Italian languages, sketch OF which
will be seen in the foregoing plan.
This arrangement is so adjusted as tc
= occasion no Inconvenience to those whose
: circumstances will not admit Of their pur.
; suing complete course, while it offers
! strong inducements to those who can, t
do so.
f To defray the increased expense of ths
? proposed system, it IS found necessary tC
; make small advance upon the terms o
tuition. The elementary branches O
S English will be taught for $500, per quar-
ter as heretofore higher English branch
cs, $500: Languages, Drawing, Paint
! ing, together with any other branches, in
e cluded in the course, $500. Board, il
/ the Commons when completed, at cost
/ The proposed system of operation will no
5 go into effect before the opening of th'
q Fall Term. Those who contemplate
;, pursuing a systematic course of stud y
. may find it for their advantage to be pre-
: sent during the summer term, where they
Y will have an opportunity of attending tt
i such branches as may be necessary to en-
G able them to enter some one Of the regula
classes.
v 1t will be very desirable for parents an
Il guardians, to specify as definitely as pos
1t sible, their wishes and intentions in rela
IS ton to those they may design to place a
y this Seminary, that their studies may b
:, directed accordingly.
