STATEMENT ON DUPLICATE IMAGES

This reel of microfilm contains material

. which has paper color changes, stains, or

illustrations (some of which may appear on

pages mixed with printed text). In order to

ensure that all text and illustrations are

legible, exposure settings must be changed.

Therefore, when text and illustrations exist

in a single image or when material backgrounds differ, such frames may need

to be exposed twice.

The first exposure reflects the camera

operator's best effort to capture the majority

of the text; the second exposure reflects the

camera operator's best effort to capture illustrative material or the remaining text. It

is hoped that this practice will result in a microfilm product that fully serves the needs

of most researchers.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION.

FIRST TERM.

SECOND TERM.

\^

The Institution was opened in September, 1848, under the patronage of the Baltimore and Philadelphia Conferences of the M. E. Church. Its success has far surpassed the most sanguine anticipations of its friends. Situated in one of the most beautiful and picturesque valleys of the Sus- quehanna, its location— for health, beauty of scenery, and convenient access by coaches and canal packets— is unsurpassed; and the faeries afforded for thorough instruction are such, that its claims can be p/Sented with confidence to the patrons of learning.

COURSE OF STUDY.

This embraces a period of three years, and is designed to qualify stu- dents for teaching in any High School or Academy— for any department of business, or for admission to any College.

GENERAL REMARKS.

It is earnestly recommended to parents and guardians to conform as far as possible to the preceding arrangement and classification of studies, by having their children or wards in attendance at the commencement of the Terms. The classes will then be formed, and those entering at that tune will enjoy advantages which they cannot subsequently acquire.

It IS required of those living at a distance to entrust the management of funds to some resident Patron, and satisfy no bills unless contracted by his order. Such a course will shield the parent from unnecessary expense, promote the best interests of the student, and remove every power of injury from the avaricious and unprincipled.

A regular merit-roll will be kept, and monthly reports of advancement and deportment forwarded to parents and guardians.

-4"

DISCIPLINE.

The discipline is mild but firm, calculated to promote intellectual ad- vancement and improve the heart. Every encouragement will be afforded to the studious and well disposed, but the indolent and unprincipled can find no rcsting-])laee within tlie pale of the Institution.

RELIGIOUS SERVICE.

Every student is re(juired to attend the religious exercises at the open- ing and close of school each day, as well as public worship twice every Sabbatli, at such place as parents or guardians may designate.
