THIS Institution Of Learning was opened I'M
der most encouraging auspices on the 18th Janu-
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 IL expects to rely for
all Its Patr 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. De ~partment. In addition to the English,
Mathematical and Classical branches, the Pupils
have the advantage of the Infantry drin of Mill
tary Academies. To secure interest and success
in this, we have an ampl supply of Cadet Mus,
kets. The~uniferm of the oorps is neat, plain and
cheap. It is furnished tat the Institute n as near
ly at first cost as pract'cabss-~ Pupils need only
bring their usual wearing apparel. The uniform
aids in securing discipline and preventing xtrav'
agance. The Drill does not interfere withthe
studies. It is an excellent discipline furnished
our pupils after school hours, without extra
charge for tuition or use of muskets.
