cided improvement on the present plan of
training youth, and permanent benefit to
the country, avail themselves of this means
of presenting to the public a synopsis Of
the system which will be adopted, names
'of the faculty. costs of the establishment.
&c. The charter contemplates a combi-
nation of Physical, Intellectual, and Moral
Culture, and the Trustees and Officers are
of opinion this is The only plan upon which
an energetic, intellectual and moral race
can be reared up.
I. PHYSICAL DEPARTMENT.
To secure health, vigorous constitutions,
sound minds, and good morals, q suficien-
cy of Agriculture to teach the properties
and improvement of soils, the proper cul-
tiyation of the different grains and grass
es, and the management of farm stock, also
Horticulture and Orcharding, in all their
branches, and the Mechanic Arts, viii be
introduced. Each student, as an indis-
pensable part of his education, will devote
from two to five hours per day, to some
one or more branches of physical indus
try. The profits accruing from the labor,
after paying for materials and rents, will
belong to the students. This is the sys-
tenn which has been adopted in the best
colleges of Europe, and it is fondly believ-
ed no department will be more pleasant
than the Physical in the United States,
when properly understood and put into
practice. Thus the rich will be taught the
value of property, and INDECENT and aspi-
ring young men will acquire the means of
paying for their education.

cred History, Music, Discipline, and Per-
