THIS Institution OF Learning was opened un'
der most encouraging auspices on the 18th ANU
airy, 1859. 1t is proposed to make it a thorough
and practical Gymnasium for training the Physi-
cal, Intellectual and Moral powers of the Pupils.
Upon ats success an this 10 erpects to rely for
all ate Potr onage. 1t is under the control Of no
particular Church. The Teachers belong to diff
ferent Denominations and are selected on account
of their fitness for the posts they occupy, without
regard 20 their ecclesiastical connections.
Professor RADCLIFFE, a graduate of the South
Carolina Military Academy, has charge of the
Male Department. In addition to the English,
Mathematical and Classical branches, the Pupils
have the advantage of the Infantry drill Of Mill
tary Academies. To secure interest and success
in this, we have an ampl, supply of Cadet MUS
kets. The uniform of the corps is neat, plain and
cheap. It is furnisl ed at the institute n as near
ly at first cost as practicable. Pupils need only
bring their usual wearing apparel. The uniform
aids in securing discipline and preventing extrav'
agance. The Drill does lot interfere with the
studios. 1t is an excellent discipline furnished
our pupils after school hours, without extra
charge for tuition or use 0 fmuskets.
