Sharon College and Female
ACADEMY.

ACADEM II.
THESE Institutions have just closed their
Collegiate term under the most promising
circumstances. The Trustees are conf
dent that the recent examinations gave full
and entire satisfaction to the numerous and
intelligent assembly, which Witnessed It, OF
the ability and faithiulness Of the lnstruc-
tors who arc employed in the Institutions.
They therefore confidently expect contin-
nance and mn increase Of that patronage
which has been heretofore so literally hes
fowed. Tho next term commences the first
Monday in October, aud terminates with
the last week in February.
Rev. Alexander Campbell, President Of
both Institutions.
College Department.
Rev. Richard Beard, Professorof Ancient
Languages.
VIM. L. Williford, Professor elect Of
Mathematics and Natural Philosophy.
John +. Little, Teacher of the Preparato-
~ School.
xas the Female Department.
Rev. H. w. Smith, Principal.
DR.. G. S. Brown, Assistant Teacher.
Mrs. H.W. Smith, Instructress in French,
Italian, and tho Ornamental Branches.
Miss Stratton, Assistant.
Mr.. C. Brachus, Teacher Of Music.
As both Institutions were founded by the
same persons; and are under the direction
of the same Board of Trustees, it wa.
thought better to have them under the su.
pervision ofthe same presiding officer. In
other respects, however, they are totally
separate. No intercourse is tolerated ON
any account. between the pupils of the two
unless BY tho direction and under the man
agement Of the Faculty and Trustees. The
Trustees wish the public to know that this
regulation will be strictly enforced.
The rules of both Institutions are design.
ed to be strict, but not unreasonable, and a
strict conformity to them will of course be
cxacted as far as possible from every pupil
both Male and Female.
il ID wished, however, and intended by
the Trustees and Faculty, 10 make the go
vernment of the Institutions parental
Kindness and tenderness are to be mingled
with strictness, and even with punishment
when punishment is necessary. The prin.
ciples and precepts Of our holy religion are
sS9uttco " y taught anu YfdCtScQ III tie
Institutions, and for this purpose, the Bible
is made text book, but every thing secta.
rian is excluded.
The Trustees arc sorry TO learn that re.
ports have gone abroad unfavorable to the
moral character of these Institutions, and te
feel themselves under the necessity Of ad
ding that such reports are utterly without
foundation. On the other hand they are
satisfied that public confidence in the char
acter, management, and prospects of the In
situations, as far as they are known, hal
never been go great as il is now, and they
are fully satisfied that this confidence is mo-
inisploced.
In conclusion, the Trustees would sug
gest that they feel themselves 10 have en-
gagged an arduous, but good work.
The unparalleled pecuniary difficulties o
the country must of necessity embarrass ane
retard them very much in carrying out Their
plan. They nevertheless do not despair o
placing these Institutions amongst the very
first of this great valley. They are conf
dent Of deserving the patronage Of liberia
and intelligent public, and are equally con
fident that they will receive it.
