"VHESE Institutions have Just closed
Il their Collegiate term anues TN s.'e
most promising circumstance
Trustees are confident that the reesn1
examinations gave full and entire sa1ls
faction to the hume rous ana iniehi
assembly. which witnessed H. OF ms aol-
Iity and faithfulness ofehe inslfuc'ols
who are employed IN the ins'i1u'io''s-
They therefore confidently exrcci eo.-
t;nnance and an increase of that patron
ACE which has been heretofore 50 aoe-
ralIv bestowed. The next term com

Miss Stratton, Assistant
Mr.. C. Brachus, Teacher of Music
As both Institutions were founded oy
the same persons and are under the d.
rection Of the same Board of Trustees
it was thought better TO have them under
the supervision of the same presiding
officer. In other respects, however,
they are totally separate No inter
course is tolerated, on any account, Be
tween the pupils of the two. unless By
the direction and under the management
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 de-
signed to be strict, but not unreasonable,
and a strict conformity TO them viii OF
course be exacted as far as possible from
every pupil both Male and Female.
1t IS wished, however, and intended b.
the Trustees and Faculty. 70 make the
government of the Institutions parental
Kindness and tenderness are 10 be ming
led with strictness, and even with pun
ishment, when punishment IS necessary.
The principles and precepts Of our holy
religion are required 10 be taught and
practised in the Institutions, and for tins
purpose, the Bible IS made text book
but every thing sectariaH Is excluded
The Trustees are sorry to learn that
reports have gone abroad, unfavOrable 10
the moral character of these Institutions,
and to feel themselves under the neces-
sity OF adding that such reports are Ut
terly without foundation On the other
hand they are satisfied that public conf
dence in the character, management,
and prospects of the Institutions, as far
as they are known, has never been 50
great as il is now, and they are fully
satisfied that this confidence IS not mis-
placed.
In conclusion, the Trustees would sug-
gest that they feel themselves to have
engaged an arduous, bat good work
The unparalleled pecunIary Difficult
ties of the country must of necessity
embarrass and retard them very much
in carving oot their plan They new
ertheless do not despair of placing these
institutions amongst the very first Of this
great valley. They are confident Of
deserving the patronage of liberal and
Intelligent public, and are equally conf
dent that they will receive IT.
