also makes strong appeal to parents who de-
sire for their daughters, sound, substantial
and practical, as we'll as polished, mental and
moral training. Men to whom "distance lends
appreciation of all other home products, excep.
female educaton-may, 10 their fancied attempt
to enhance the nominal value Of their daughters
accomplishments, patronize other and more dis
tant Institutions; but, in so doing, they neglect
the claims of one, which challenges comparison,
in any point of value, with the oldest and best,
az well as the more pretentious and better puFtG
Institutions of the land. As proofs of her eff
cheney and the validity of her claims-the writer
only refers to the men who conduct her, and the
Instructors who supply her chairs-the terms Of
Tuition, Board, &C., and the fruits which, for
six years, she has borne.
While we are pleading the cause of noble
enterprise, we venture, upon our own response
biity, to suggest for public consideration, and
in order to indicate channels for the bene6cent
offerings of the liberal, some of the wants of the
College.
/. The payment Of the subscriptionssto the COL
lege. There is about thousand dollars still
due in this way. Surely, the kind friends will
not wait to be called upon again but will inn
mediately discharge an important duty by pay
ing to Edward Moore Esq, Treasurer of Trus-
tees, what they formerly subscribed.
2. The outstanding debt to be cancelled More
than three thousand dollars are required to free
the Institution from pecuniary liabilities. How
easily could few Of the favored come up to the
relief of an enterprise which promises so much
for the advancement Of the cause of education;
and also erect monument to their own geueros-
ity! We commend this feature to those who are
wishing to do good by beuefactions and donations.
3. 4 Library and Reading Room. There are
but two hundred volumes in the Library, and
there are no periodicals and newspapers accessi-
J BILE to the young ladies. We will not insult the
intelligent judgmentof the reader, by even de-
: claring the privaton to which the students are
: thereby subjected. Ifevery Parent who has had,
or may have, daughter educated here; every
young lady who has received, or may receive,
graduation here; every young man, or bachelor,
who has married, or expects to marry, lady
that will have received her training and polish
here and every monied man or woman, to
whose heart an educated woman commends her.
self, will make brt o small contribution of either
money or good books-this want will not long
exist.
4. apparatus for illustration Of Natural Phi
1osophy, Chemistry and astronomy. Five hum
dred dollars, or little more, could be well e1-
pended in supplying this deficiency; and the
amount would soon reproduce ITSELF to the credit
of the donor, in its practical and beneficial re-
suits.
S. 4 Boarding Estabhshmeutin in connection ,Dith
the College, This is, in the judgment Of some,
o rant of the College. But we are free to say,
that we greatly prefer that our daughters-we
are the father Of two-should be among the par
ty who can find lodging under President Ander-
sons roof, or among those who can enjoy the
kin lness and accommodation, furnished to tventy
or thirty, by the excellent Christian families
designated in the Catalogue-than to be crowded,
stinted and fretted not to say, starved and vul-
garized-as is often done in the Boarding estab-
lishments Of Colleges. But il any, differing
from ourself, deems such department, or pro-
vision in the College present rant, and will fur
nish the funds sufficient for this purpose, the
matter can be discussed and perhaps executed to
satisfaction.
6. 4 continuation Of the former ytacor and pat
rOnage TO the College, seconded by prayers to the
God Of Grace that He will sanctify the instruc-
tions, here so fully given, and make the Institu-
ton nursery Of religion-an angel Of blessing
to every family, and an ornament aud substan-
tial good to every patronizing community.
