Five Reasons

2. The health Of the College
has been uniformly good. IT Is
placed where the young women
are equally free from the malaria
u one section and the typhoid
fevers OF another. 1t Is rare
that there is a serious case OF
sickness in the College.
4. Terms are moderate. They
are not shaved down TO the level
If the cheapest schools: but. con-
sidering the character of loca-
,lon and incidental advantages
OF the school. the rates are a
marvel OF cheapness The cata-
ogue shows this. The manager
ment of the school Is admirable.
The young women are treated as
ladies', and they are constantly
proving that they deserve the
confidence thus expressed in
them.

/. The College lie located in
Richmond That fact counts for
much. Its students enjoy the
refining influences of the most
historic and elegant city in the

Richmond is no mean part OF an
education.
3. The faculty is one OF the
best in the South The teachers
