The Principal, having been many years engaged in his profession, has
prepared Students for admission into different classes of the following
Colleges, viz: Amherst, Mass.;Brown's University, R.I.; Rutgers, N.J.;
Union N.Y.; and Yale, Conn. To the several Faculties of these Colleges, he
therefore also begs leave to refer.

The most of his Students that have graduated, however, have been prepared
for admission into the several classes of the College of New Jersey, at
Princeton, and of Rutgers', at New Brunswick. He therefore deems it no
impropriety to submit to the public the following:

CARDS

The undersigned do with great pleasure renew the recommendation given by
them some years ago, to Mr. Fairchild, now Principal of Green-Brook Family
School, at Madison, N.J., and formerly Principal of the Hill-Top Academy,
at Mendham.  A large number of Mr. Fairchild's pupils have been received
into this Institution, and their attainments and deportment have been such,
as to reflect much credit on his course of instruction and discipline.

ALBERT B. DOD, Prof. of Mathematics
College of New Jersey, Princeton, Oct., 1845

The undersigned, Members of the Faculty of Rutger's College, certify, that
several of the pupils of Mr. Fairchild have been admitted as Members of
this College. In this manner, and also from a personal attendance at his
public examination by some of our Board, we are able to judge of the
character of his School, and do not hesitate to recommend it as worthy of
public confidence and patronage.
