the work done has been thorough. 
3. The plans of study have been wrought out with rare, 
in the hope of calling oiit the student's full ability, educating 
him as well, as instructing him. 
4. English Literature is studied with more care than in 
most colleges. 
5. The best facilities arc offered for the practical study cf 
Chemistry. 
6. Gentlemen and ladies are educated in the same classes, 
an ! between pupils and teachers there are the most inti¬ 
mate relations. 
7. As a school for Teachers this institution lias been very 
successful, from the time of Horace Mann,its first President.
