period OF three years; the design being to pre-
pare students for collegiate course, or to quail
fy them to engage successfully in business pur-
suits. Preparatory classes, however, will be
ormed, especially for the first six months during

unprepared for the regular course.

Christian, it possesses, also the external advan-
tages OF location In community not only highly
intelligent and moral, but uncurst by the LIQUOR
