shall do all that depend upon me to make them good
citizens and good fathers of families. For this pur-
pose liberal education developing the intellect is
required an education free from contracted and anti
intellectual ideas the offspring of ignorance and
perstition, her ordinary companion.

they prove and the same object that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creatcr the Archttect Of the
Uniyerse. Our religious motto should then be TOTE
ration, love Of God and meighbor. Every atten-
ton will be bestowed upon the students-Their food
