This institution is an1iul;nced in accordance
with the declaration of the founders OF the Ma
tional Colony, that the early establishment of a
seminary of learning. on liberal basis, at some
favorable point, was part of their plan.
1t has been Judged advisable to put the enter
prise under denominational control it is, accord
mgy, introduced under the patronage Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and as auxiliary to
Hdnsline University. 1t will he conducted IN
the most catholic spirit: the object being to unite
liberal culture with the rrecepts and spirit Of the
Christian system.
The Seminary building now known rs the
Methodist Church Block, is spacious and attract
i've, and admirably located. 1t fronts on the
Public Square, in Worthington, within a short
distance of West Okabel,a Lake.
1t is intended to make the Seminary All honor
to the State-the equal OF any similar institution
in the West. The board of instruction is already
large and embraces, fl III unusual degree, both
the experience and ability essential to success
AS occasion demands 1t will be enlarged and
nothing shall be wanting TO the completeness OF
the several departments.
The contemplated course OF study will cover 4
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
orn'et, especially for the first six months during
which time, it may be presumed, many will bs
unprcpared for the regular course.
While the school in itself will be unequivocally
Christian, it possesses, also, the externa! aeayan
tages of location in community not only highly
intelligent and moral, but uncurst by the liquor
tratic. This nefarious trade the prolific source
OF poverty and crime, is by Ia utterly excl,,d
ed from Mobiles county. No .,oughtful parent or
guardian will under estimate the Importance OF
this most significant fact.
Prof Humiston takes charge Of 4 department
with which he has been long and honorably coli
nected, aud brings with him, as q git to the ill.,
stAutiof, philosophical and chemical apparatus
worth six hundred and fifty dollars.

Us possible the benefits OF the institution, to those
who desire it, and to meet the stringency of the
times, tuition, for tile first six months will be but
