Rer. Professor Murray: 1t is with lively and
grateful emotions, that accept this beautiful
article of domestic comfort from you, my dear
sir. as the organ of the Professors and Teachers
of this University. For myself, happier as
socialion of co-laborers in the work of Female
Education could not have been furmed. If VIC
have sometimes differed in opinions, we have
never dissened in action The success which
has attended the efficient and untiring labors OF
the Professors and Teachers of this institution
has given full proof of their unsurpassed merit in
the Interesting and important vocation which
they adorn. The universal, delighted, cordial
opprobation, by enlightened, judicious minds, OF
The performances of the Young Ladies of the
University, is the wcl-meriled reward OF the
extraordinary powers of their eslimable lnstruc-
tors. not only for mparing knowledge in the
most lucid and impressive manner, but also ol
inspiring the mind with generous and noble as.
rira;ions for "whatever is lovely and Of good
report" and Of annating it with glowing ardor
in the pursuit of health.
To be honored by such a corps of Instructors
then. with he offering of an article at once orna.
mental and useful is no ordinary distinction.
accept il therefore with heartfelt pleasure, as The
expression of affection and respect from those
whose affection and respect highly prize, and

Nav YOUR life, my dear sir, may The lives OF

to which YOU and they stand pledged, be lcnG
spared that you may continue to train the

You have been pleased, sir, 10 advert to m1
services in the cause of Female Education
When engaged in those services, it was from
, sopse of duty for the weaker vesSel, )" who's,
nrou.r training had been overlooked by the
y,,nnrer. The Stat. had established College
for her bovs, but hcrgirls were left TO acquire
knowledge us best they might, from the libcraty
of private enterprise, or parental affection Iht
result was, that out of Charleston, no public
Academy or High School invited females to it:
rich store of learning BY means of competen
teachers with the advantages of apparatus ant
lihr,rv. PROGRESS however, has been making Il
binIer order of ,hirgs for females. And now
ut The distance Of merely hafa century, be
hold with unspeakaHe delight, High Schools
: COLLEGES. and even al University for females
opening, Win IH'llihi "'PeSV, 'hcH P'i'"'o j."
the entrance of the girls, that they may become
fitted for the noble Stations designed for thei
! occupancy by the cmmon Father OF all hi

had in the progress of events to the presen
blessed results in favG of Female Education, il
