Miss Hotchkiss, who has not, heretofore,
boon connected with the Institution, comes to
us highly recommended, as a teacher of rare
qualifications. Among other testimonials the
following letter from Prof. Newman, of Union
College, New \ ork, is an ample guarantee for
her ability and efficiency :
Union College, Dec. 2P, 1855.
Dk Ait Sat: —ln reply to your inquiry, I
would say, Miss Hotchkiss. I know to he emi
nently qualified for teaching. Her scolarship
is general and very thorough. She is enter
prising and ambitious—loves to teach, and on
the whole, is the best qualified for it of any
lady I ever instructed. 1 speak thus confi
dently, because she was a pupil of mine some
four or five years. Truly yours,
JOHN NEWMAN.
Upon thegencralprinciple that nothing tends
more to impair and destroy the intellect, than
superficial habits of study, no young lady, in
this Institution will bo permitted to take up
studies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad
vance from a lower to a higher class until she
h is thoroughly mastered all that precedes.—
The mind that has not comprehended common
arithmetic and English Grammar) is hut poor
ly qualified to grapple with the intricacies of
the higher mathematics, or the subtleties of
metaphysics.
We invite patronage, and wc intend to tlo
scrv ■ it; but we do not promise to make schol
ars in a day. While modern science has al
most, annihilated time and space, the mind
retains only its original qualities and capabil
ititss. Ihe Intellect, in its onward progress,

ciation, the powers of judgement and memory,

By the McCormick System of Education,
the reasoning powers are more expanded and

Legitimate Education is the object of this
College ; without the aid of Theology, Music,
duplicity, begging, fashion or foolery in any
shape whatever.
Three Rules will be rigidly enforced: Ist,
early and punctual attendance; 2d, to learn
very fast; 3rd, to behave remarkably well.
The only required preparation for admission
will be good character, over nine years of age,
and exemption from all illegal and base asso
ciation, and no students refused because of
being graduates.
An effort merely’ to please a people, being
the first step towards duplicity and fraud, fluty
alone will be the Polar Star taught; and no
Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.
