Some things which commend the Institute to those
wishing to educate, are its superior corps of expe-
rienced teachers-attendance free of charge, on all
the lectures and experiments in Natural Philosophy,
Botany and chemistry in Miami University the use
of the extensive Mineral and Geological Cabinet and
Library of the University, and the opportunity of
almost weekly lectures connected with scientific sub

Witnessing the examinations and public performan-
cs fths various literary institutions of the place.

sistance of the Professors of the University so far as

classics usually read in Colleges for young men,
