] noted with great pleasure the very
propitious opening Of the fall term of
this Institution. The new President,
Rev. j. M. Wright most thorough,
classical scholar and accomplished,
christian gentleman--comes to us with
an unblemished reputation. and an un-
impeaehable character. He seems to
have thrown both brain and soul into
his work, with an earnestness Of pur-
pose that will inevitably insure him
the greatest success. Encemiums and
fulsome compliments passed upon one
SO pre-eminently qualified in all re-
spects for the responsible position
committed to him by our citizens
though pleasant medium of express
ion to those, who recognize in Mr..
Wright, the right man in the right
place-we deem tame and unnecessary,
if we mistake not, in our interpreta-
ton of the character of coming events
by the bold prospective shadows al
ready cast in the short time in which
he has presided; and [ unhesitating
ly predict most decided success for
the Academy, under the suspicious
management of President, who COM
bines to so great an extent, such rare
scholarly attainments with the firm
unfaltering principles of cultivated,
stainless, christian character. And in
this great work Mr. Wright will not
labor alone; for in all things he will
be aided and strengthened by the de-
voted energies of his whole-souled,
accomplished wife.
| In all his honest, earnest efforts to
establish among us an Institution, that
shall rank second to none in the land,
he will be sustained and assisted by
her hearty cooperation.
Our daughters, under their mutual
supervision, will receive the greatest
attention and advancement, not only
in the regular routine OF recitation !;
but their department at all times will
be under constant surveillance; and
we may expect the indispensable graces
of refinement and elegance as well as
the attainment of scholarship, to re-
suit from labors so earnest and well
directed.
Young ladies from distance, away
from the sweet, refining influences of
home, will find in Mrs. Wright lady
peculiarly adapted to supply the place
of absent friends; in that her counsel
and care will be enlisted at all times in
their behalf.
The able corps of teachers-many
of them so long and so favorably
known, previously employed in the
Academy by the late President-need
no lengthy words of commentator
here. They are added evidence to the
felicitous discrimination and judgment
on the part of Mr.. Wright in their Sc
lection.
Here, then, we find the most unex-
ceptional educational advantages Of
fered our daughters right in our midst.
No need of parting with our children,
and sending them away from home for
their education. Do weappreciate the
value of such an Institution as Mr..
Wright proposes to establish and sus-
tain? Are the advantages accruing
therefrom to be lightly estimated?
Surely, our community will not fail to
recognize the importance of rallying
around our new President with undi-
vided assistance and patronage. Aside
from the educational aspect of the
case, GAINESVILLE will reap no insignif-
cant advantage in reputation, and in a
more substantial way also, if this be
made first class, fourishing, growing
Institution.
Now, with Mr.. Wright and his able
colaborer, Mrs. Wright, at the helm,
assisted by their competent faculty
what is there wanting, but that Clarks-
vile shall now, and in years to. come,
possess an Institution for her own,
and for daughters from other States
that shall rebound to her credit and
add lustre to her name that shall in
crease and brighten as the years 60 by.
1t is scarcely necessary to dwell at
length upon inappropriate and health
full location of the Academy buildings.
GAINESVILLE may justly pride herself
upon her pleasant people, and quiet,
shady streets. There is an air of
quaint, old elegance clinging about the
place that is irresistibly charming
and liz locating the Academy, both
taste and convenience have been con-
suited. Under the management of our
enterprising President, repairs and i'm
provements will steadily go on, and no
where in the breadth of the land is
there more eligible point for a man.
moth Institution to rear its head and
live and prosper.
Already Mr. Wright has met hearty
support from many of our most promi-
nent citizens, but he can give perfect
satisfaction to all. Shall we not. as a
community, rise en- masse with the
earnest support so essential to the
perfect success he so much merits !?
Surely, in cause so great and good,
success will inevitably follow.
