MARY SHARP COLLEGE,
!.s Female University ai Tie South,
At Winchester, I: Tenn,

A LOCATION
unsurpassed for variety and beauty of scene.
~, and entirely exempt from all malaral and
epidemic diseases.
THE METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
in this Institution are such as common sense
and the wisdom gained from long experience
have demonstrated to be most effective.
No plan is accepted or rejected because it il
new" or "oH," but ii proved bet, no stigma
'p!aced upon it because it is not the birth OF
yesterday.
THE TEACHING
in this College is fully mp to the progressive
demands OF the present. Both the instruction
and example such that even the sluggish and
indifferent soon become interested, and study
becomes positive pleasure.
THIRTY YEARS
the Mary Sharp has stood firm amid the dcs-
citation OF war and the prosecutions Of envy
and jealousy and this long record Of faithful
and successful toll should be a sufficient guar
aniee for the future.
STUDENTS OF THIS COLLEGE,
occupying positions OF honor throughout the
land, and who, by the education here receiv-
ed, are made blessings to thousand4 of South
crn homes" and to the communities in which
they reside, are lung uiineSses OF the thorough
work done at the Mary Sharp in educating
mind and heart.
ECONOMY
OF dress is insured by neat and inexpensive
Uniform.
Books and stationery can be bought at
Nashville prices. No combinations formed
by which any teacher is to receive profit in
monies spent for pupils.
THE PROSPECTS
OF the Institution were never better; requests
Tor Catalogues and information received dali
", not only from the Southern States, but
from points north OF the Ohio river.
THE STANDARD
OF education is high, and rests upon the con.
victiOn that every system of Instruction should
be estimated by its success in promoting the
higher education by its ability to increase
the power and range OF thought, and to not
only excite the mind to extended scientific |
research but to join with it that pure moral
culture by which alone the true dignity and |
Of humanity is insured.
