including oxford (England), Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, University of Pennsyl-

the success of these students has been
so general that it cannot be attributed
to the accident of great natural ability.
Grateful Graduates.
One alumnus writes of the school.
II have been student in other pri-
vate schools and in the public schools,
and two years in college, and in none
of these have 1 received such benefits
as / received from the instruction
given in the Brown Preparatory"
Another says: MY life has been more
influenced by the associations of the
Brown Preparatory School than by my
whole college course" and such seem
to be the sentiments of all who have
become fully imbued with the spirit OF
the school.
It's Convenient Location.
The school is located in Odd Fellows
Temple Building, Broad street, above
Arch, and for convenience of access it
leaves little to be desired, being within
three squares of the Reading Terminal
and only two squares from. Broad street
station, while by trolley 1t may be
reached from every part of the city.
The building Is one of the finest in
Philadelphia and, although the school
has had a comparatively slow growth,
as before stated, it now occupies one
