Secondly. A Preparatory Department—embracing all the studies essential to a 
thorough preparation for the Collegiate Department.  Particular at tuition 
will be paid to the Preparatory Course, and this department will be filed by a 
competent Teacher.

The First Term will embrace Twenty Weeks, after which a vacation of some weeks 
will ensue.  No Pupil will be admitted into the Collegiate Requirement, or 
advanced to a higher class, without possessing a satisfactory examination in 
the lower class or department; and no young Lady will be permitted to graduate 
until she is thoroughly acquainted with the studies embraced in the regular 
Collegiate Course.

The Course of Study and Textbooks which will be used in the College, will be 
permanently fixed when the Faculty come together, after which there will be no 
change unless the real interests of the Institution demand it.

THE FRENCH LANGUAGE will be taught by Miss ALDEN, a Young Lady of superior 
ability in this branch of elegant Literature.

THE ORNAMENTAL BRANCHES, consisting of Drawing, Perspective Painting, Wax-
Work, and Needle-work, will be taught on scientific principle.

Mr. ALDEN, the President elect, is a gentleman of superior Classical and 
Literary attainments.  He has acquired and extensive reputation through Middle 
and Upper Georgia.  Having devoted the greater part of his life to the 
business of teaching, he will spare no pains to give dignity and permanent 
character to the Institution.

Mr. GRANT has a wide reputation as a gentleman of extensive Scientific 
attainments, and thoroughly skilled in the use of Apparatus.  In Chemistry, 
Natural Philosophy, and Astronomy, he is unsurpassed. — He brings for the use 
of the Institution an extensive Classical, Philosophical, Astronomical, and 
Mathematical Apparatus.

Mrs. GRANT is well known as an excellent teacher of Music.  Her Instruments, 
consisting of a fine toned Organ, Piano, Guitars and Harps, will all be 
brought in for the use of the College.

A BUILDING

Is now in course of erection, and will be ready by the time appointed for the 
operating of the Institution.  

Board can be had in the village for $10 per month, washing included.

No Pupil will be admitted for a shorter period than one Term, and as the 
Teachers will expect to be paid promptly from the proceeds of the Institution, 
tuition for the Term will in every instance be required in advance.  This is 
the invariable rule of Colleges, without which they cannot be sustained.

Mr. ALDEN will take his place as President of the College as soon as released 
from present engagements.  In the meantime the government of the Institution 
will be in the hands of Mr. Grant, and each department will be filled by a 
competent Teacher.
