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 gradualrx. An ett'ort merely to please a people, being the first step towards duplicity and fraud, duty alone will be the Polar Star taught; and no Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex pected, nov no beggars employed bv this Col lege.
