As both Institutions were founded by
the same persons and are under the dr.
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 will Of

great as it Is now, and they are fully
satisfied that this confidence Is not mis-
placed. {
In conclusion, the Trustees would sug-

engaged an arduous, but good work
