This Institution is held by a Board of Trus-
tees, under Charter from the State, for the
benefit of the public, and is authorized to
confer the highest educational hOnors.
The Trustees and Faculty, truly gratifed
at the very liberal patronage heretofore be-
slowed, are determined to spare no efforts
sustain its already acquired reputation,
one of the best of the land.
The buildings consist of three story brick
edifce, and a two story brick Music Hail. dis
tant 100 feet, and connected by corridors, all
situated in beautiful grove of forest trees,
and while the young ladies are not permitted
to leave the College limits unattended by a
teacher, the grounds afford ample room for re-
creation.
The long corridors extending from the main
building to the Music Hall, not only afford
protection from the weather, but ample room
for calls thenic and other exercises.
The sanitary regulations are highly condu-
Give to physical development. The regular
hours for retiring and rising, and out door
exercise, good fires in cold and damp weather,
suitable and well prepared fare, have resulted
in excellent health in this Institution.
The location is unquestionably healthy =
Many young ladies who came to the Institu-
tion with enfeebled constitutions have entire
ly regained their health.
Small children, and orphans especially, re-
ceive as nearly mothers attention as pos
sible; it being one of the especial cares of the
Lady Principal and Matron to see to the
moral, social and domestic training of every
pupil.
All pupils will be considered members of
the Presidents family.
Science and Literature.
This Institution has a reputation for thor
oughness in these Departments. They are
conducted by teachers of experience, whose
aim is not to ill the mind with indigested
facts, but to discipline it, to teach it HOW TO

The course of study is thorough, and in
cludes those branches which are best adapted
to fit woman for that exalted sphere allotted
to her by the Creator.
Apparatus.
The College is supplied with suitable appar-
atus, sufficient to illustrate the Sciences, and

liable additions to his former geological col
lections. The young ladies of this institution

correct knowledge of this highly interesting
science.

tural Philosophy, and Geology, through the

ty, have access to its large and well appointed
Laboratory, Philosophical Apparatus and
Geological Collections, excelled by none n

The authorities Of the College are determin-
the best professional ability. The patrons

and exalted emotion.
