r. JOINTS COLLEGE.
Annapolis, MARYLAND

THE next Academic year of ST, JOHNS
j. COLLEGE, Annapolis, Maryland, will be-
gin on WEDNESDAY, the sixth Of OCTOBER.
1858. The location of this institution lis in all
respects admirably adapted to academic purposes.
Remote from the stir and hustle Of large city, it
invites to Study and Literary repose and yet its
proximity (40 miles by railroad twice, day. to
Washington and Baltimore cities, makes it per-
fecty accessible from the great national thorough
fares. A large and beautiful building just COM
pleted, with accommodations for one hundred and
fifty students. affords greatly increased facilities
for the education Of youth. A Dormitory, very
commodous and we'll ventilated, with large study
rooms attached, will, under the constant supervi'
sion of the Projects, afford to young boys that dali
y and nightly supervision which is found indspen-
sable in the education of youth. The very central
position of Annapolis. whetherconsidered in re-
ference to the State or the country generally, and
its perfect healthfulness and exemption from the
srtrenes Of heat and cold point it out as one Of
the most desirable spots for a seat of learning.-
Every possible facility for exercise is afforded by
large and beautiful grounds A water Fight Of
some three quarters of mile afford means Of
swimming, bathing and skating, all within College
bounds.
The College Campus affords the finest field for
the regular infantry drill and occasional parade;
NOT are the advantages in "a scholastic point of
view at all less striking. With all its Chairs fiji
ed by men in the prime of life, and freshness Of
vigor. the institution is prepared to take its place
by tie side of the most prominent schools in the
land as an educator Of youth. Its facilities for
, discipline are much more than usually abundant.
To the South, especially, is an institution situated
Just as this IS, most inviting .4L that rs Required
to the completion of an Under Graduate Course,
clothing alone excepted, may be had at the rate
of Two hundred and fifty dollars per annum.-
Gentlemen having son or ward at the Naval
School and members of Congress from distance
would find it most convenient to inquire particu-
larly into the character Of this institution. A
punctual attendance, on by the first day of tho
academic year. (Which begins on. the first We'd
nesday ID October and ends the first Wednesday

drawn from the well is 50 deg. Fahrenheit.
This Water has been extensively used by inval-
