CHRISTIAN BROTHERS. COLLEGE.
A First.Class Educational InstItu-
ton In Our MIDST. at 2Ss Adams
street.
1t is not generally known that the eel
ebrated society of the Christian Broth
ers has established in our city a college
for the education of young men and
boys. The location is admirable, being
In the central portion of the city, at 2s2
Adams street, in the building known as
the Memphis Female College, which
has been purchased by the Brothers and
fitted up in a style BETTING an institu-
ton of learning. The school was open
ed on the goth of November last, and
already number of students are in at
tendance.
THE COURSE OF INSTRUCTION
comprises all the branches of a classical
and commercial education, and, in addi-
ton, music, drawing and modern Ian
guages are taught by competent profess
sors.
The prospectus of the college presents
the greatest inducements to parents or
guardians TO place their children or
wards beneath the parental care Of the
Brothers, whose system of teaching and
government has been so successful at
their numerous colleges throughout Eu'
rope and America. The terms are most
liberal, so much SO that that it places
an education within reach of all. The |
faculty consists of Brother Maurelian,
president, and number of learned |
professors, who have made the teaching |
of youth the great study Of their lives.
In addition to their regular college stu
dents who reside at the institution, the
Brothers receive day scholars for either
the preparatory class or the collegiate
and commercial courses, for which the
most reasonable charges are made.
Devoted to education, the Christian
Brothers have not forgotten those Of our
youth who are engaged in business and
the various pursuits Of life during the
day--and for these
NIGHT SCHOOL
has been established, the hours Of which |
are from seven 10 nine o'clock each eve
ming. At this night school the youth of
our city who are engaged in daily labor
can acquire thorough commercial or
classical education for a most reasonable
sum Of money. At present the Brothers
are able to receive about thirty boarders.
and any number of day scholars. The
professors from their long experience in
teaching know exactly what is necessary
for the young men Of our country and
what is absolutely necessary to acquire
a refined and eminently liberal educa-
ton. From glance at the prospectus
the various branches of knowledge
taught within the halls Of this institu
tuition will become apparent. The sys-
tenn OF classifying studies has been
adopted with view TO enable the stu
dents to pursue either preparatory,
commercial or collegiate education, and
the quality and amount of study en-
braced in either Of these three depart
ments are assogted and proportioned ao-
cording to the strength and reach Of the
pupils intellect.
THE PRIMARY, INTERMEDIATE AND CON-
MERcIAL
courses embrace ell those branches :
deemed indispensable in the practical
avocations Of life, while the scientific and
literary course pursued in the collegiate
department is intended TO 6t young men
for the after saeOessfal study of the
learned professions. in this department
are taught the Greek and Latin classics,
English literature and philosophy, the
different branches Of natural history,
pure and mixed mathematics, metaphy-
sizes, logic, the philosophy Of history aud !
literature and modern Languages. With
this diversity Of studies, the faculty and
professors are correct in believing that
they afford every inducement to parents
and guardians TO patronize their institu-
ton, and it has become needless to send
the youth OF our city and surrounding !
country TO institutions Of learning ia {
other States when they can remain at !
home aud secure the same educational q
We advise those interested
in the education Of youth to visit the !
Christian Brothers' College, or send for 7
