Seminary West of the SuWannee
River.

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Sept %, 1901.
Notice is hereby given to the public
that the entrance examinations of the
seminary will be held in the old building
on the 1st, I'd and Sd of October. All
applicants will be examined. Affection
is called to the qualifications for entrance
given on page "a of the catalogue of
1S90-91. Applicants will please bring
nothing except legal cap paper. pencil,
rubber and knife. The first day they
will be examined in arithmetic: the sec
ond. in English grammar, reading and
spelling; the third, in United States
history and geography. Applicants for
ADMISSION to the higher classes will be
examined in all the studies of the classes
below the one they propose to enter, or
their equivalents.
Old students who failed to pass in one
or more studies at the annual examina-
ton in June, and who desire to be ad-
vanced to the next class, are required to
report on the 1st of October for special
examination. All students who attained
the required averages in all their stuoies
at the June examinations. will report
on Friday, the I'd of October, to have
their courses for the coming session de-
termined, and their lessons assigned.
| Applicants for admission as we'll as
old students are requested to report
| lyNtl OF II of
of applicants is called to the fact that
they will be examined in the Metric
system as we'll as in the other subjects
which usually precede percentage i'll the
complete arlthmetics.
The attention of parents is first called
to the importance of their reading care
fully the courses of study given in
the catalogue of 1890 81, with the view
of selecting those which they deem best
for their children. If it is desired that
they shall study with the view of attain
ing the degree of Bachelor of Arts, they
must study Latin six years and Greek
four, (or French and German two years
each instead) Greek or French must
be begun in the Freshman year. 1t is
the hope of the professor of Greek that a
goodly number may study that beautiful
language.
| Second, Students will not be admitted
into any class until they present to the
President the receipt of the Treasurer for
the amount ($5) of the incidental fee for
the first term of eighteen weeks The
Treasurer will be at the Seminary on
Friday, the Cd. and Monday, the 4th of
October, to receive these fees.
Third, 1t is earnestly recommended
that every pupil enter on the first day of
the session. 1t is of great disadvantage
to delay entering for single day.
Fourth, 1t is requested that parents
will not ask that exceptions be made in
favor of their children in the require
ments for admission and other regulations
of the seminary. The President is ex-
pected to carry out the system adopted
by the Board of Education. and no one
should expect him to deviate from its
requirements as a matter of grace.
For the first two weeks of the session,
the exercises will be conducted in the
old seminary, after which the school
will be transferred to the new building.

Deaths and Accidents that have occurred

A remarkable fatality seems to attend
the Cabinet household Of President
Harrison. Within twelve months death
has come with little or no warning to
the families of three members of the
Administrative Council. First, Secre-
Blaine lost two OF his children. While
the mourning wreaths laid by loving
hands on Walker Blaine's grave were
yet green, and before the body Of Mrs.
Coppinger had been assigned to
earth, Death struck again at o Cabinet
members family, this time in manner
that appalled, the Nation. Secretary
Tracy lost his wife and daughter in the
fatal fire that destroyed his home. That
he himself escaped was nothing short
of miraculous, and his remaining
daughter, with her child, only gained
complete health again after hard
struggle.
And last Thursday night, almost on
the first anniversary Of the Tracy
tragedy, the grim destroyer came again
this time to carry of the chief member
"a Cabinet Minister-Secretary Win
dom. In 9 brilliant banqueting hall,
surrounded by friends and admirers,
with the music of applause ringing in
his ears, the distinguished head Of the
Treasury Department received the last
summons and crossed the Great Di-
vide.
