A T the last session of this Institution, the
IN following resolutions were adopted by the
Board of Trustees, which will continue in force
the ensuing session:
RESOLVED, That the board of each young lady
be 800 per session of twenty weeks, TO be
paid one half in advance.
This sum is intended to include room, bed
ding, fuel washing, and all other contingent
and extra charges connected with the boarding
department.
RESOLVED, That the prices of Tuition be as
follows:
Preparatory Department, pr session, $40 90
Advanced Department, 20 90
This Department embraces all the studies
usually taught in the higher schools.
ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT.
Music, including the use ofthe Piano, $40 90
Needle Work, Is 90
Drawing and Painting, Is 90
Painting in Oil, 25 90
Transferring, ]
Shell work, 90
Wax work,
1t will be perceived from the foregoing reso-
buttons, that the rates of boarding and tuition
have bern changed from the former prices
This course the Trustees have been obliged to
adopt. They have employed competent and
efficient instructesses, who must be literally
compensated, and the resources of the institu-
ton are the only fund from which that COM
pensation should be drawn. Hitherto this fund
has proved insufficient.
The rates which are now established, both
for board and tuition, are such as are adopted
in other and neighboring schools, and are such
as the necessities of the College demand.
RESOLVED, That no young lady be admitted
as student in the College till the aohole tut
ton, and half the boarding fees be paid al the
time ShejOinS the College.
THOS. MCGEE, Pres't Board.
