Marietta CoIlege.;'

It gives tile officers OF Marietta Col
lege pleasure to inform all young ladies
and parents and friends Interested in
tho higher education Of young women,
that the board OF trustees Of Marietta
College, at its last annual meeting, de-
cided to provide for the higher educa-
ton of young women aud to throw open
to them the courses OF study pursued
in Marietta College, together with all
the degrees and advantages ofthe 1nsti-
tuition. This does not mean that Mari
eta College has adopted the co-educa-
tional system, but it does mean that in
separate buildings, with corps of COM
petent teachers, young ladies shall en-
Joy all the educational benefits which
Marietta College has heretofore granted
young men. Already steps have been
taken to carry out this decision, and,
large and beautiful and we'll adapt
ed structure has been secured,
which, during tho summer, will
be fitted up and equipped for the
full work OF hrst-class women's col
lego. This property has, for the last
three years, been known as Elizabeth
College. II Is beautifully located
on one Of our best streets, and
while near to the heart Of tho city,
it is far enough away to afford the
quiet necessary for study. A corps Of
trst-class teachers will be selected inn
mediately, and this teaching force will
be assisted by the Instructors of the
college, SO that all young ladies will be
under the training of we'll qualified
teachers. Apart from tho equipment
which will be provided in the college
for young women, they will have access
to the laboratories, libraries, lectures
and gymnasium OF the college. Not a
single advantage enjoyed by the young
men will be denied the young women
in the pursuit Of their educational
work. They will recite in separate
buildings and in part TO separate in
structors, but otherwise they will have
the fullest access to all the equipment
now owned by Marietta College. Every
thing will be done to provide for the
young ladies who come from outside
Marietta healthful, happy home,
whore they will be properly cared for
aud their personal life faithfully looked
after. 1t Is our purpose to furnish at
the worry lowest expense, high, thor
ough education, such as will fit young
women for any phase of life, or for any
work she may wish to do.
There will be departments of music,
instrumental and vocal, fine arts, aud
ample provision will BIO made for the
accomplishments which enter into the
complete education OF women. The adj
vantages OF this arrangement are many.
1t gives the young ladies the privileges
OF graduating from Marietta College
with the degrees and honor and with
the whole prestige OF the college behind
them. 1t avoids all those complica-
tons which arise out Of the co-educa-
tional system. II Is not separate edu-
cation; IL is not co-education, but 1t is
coordinate education. Where this form
has already been adopted 1t is proving
perfectly satisfactory toyoung women as
we'll as young men. We believe this
form Of education is just what the
young women OF this section Of our
country need, and we are certain we
shall BIO able TO give them the best cul-
ture and training that Marietta College
Can oder, for an expense 20 low as to
make it a great consideration for them
to como hero.
We cordially solicit correspondence
on the part OF parents and young ladies,
and all requests for information will DO
promptly answered.
Please address all communication TO
PRESIDENT JOHN W. SIMPSON,
Marietta, Ohio.
