Among other testimonials tlie following letter from Prof. Newman, of Union •'oliege, New York, is tin ample guarantee for her ability and efficiency : Union Collkgk, Dee. 2U, 1855. Dear Sir :—ln reply to your inquiry, 1 would say, Miss Hotchkiss, l know to be emi nently qualified for teaching. Her scolarshin is general ami very thorough, She is enter prising and ambitious—loves to teach, and on the whole, is the host qualified for it of any lady 1 ever instructed. I speak thus confi dently, because she was a pupil of mine sonic j lour or five years. Truly yours, JOHN NEWMAN. Upon thcgeneralprinciple that nothing tends more to impair and destroy the intellect, than superficial habits of study, no young lady, in this Institution will he permitted to take up studies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad vance from a lower to a higher class until ~lkh as 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 we intend to de serve it; hut we do not promise to make schol ars in a day. While modern science lias al most annihilated time and space, the mind retains only its original qualities and capabil ities. The Intellect,* in its onward progress, h still dependent upon the principles of asso ciation, the powers of judgement and memory, heal advancement in knowledge now, as it has ever been, is slow. janl. <yjc Jailj VOL.
