Miss Hotchkiss, who has not, heretofore,
been 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 York, is an ample guarantee (‘oi
lier ability and efficiency:
Union Collec.e, Dec. 26,1855.
Deah Bin :—ln reply to your inquiry, l
would say, Miss Hotchkiss, 1 know to be 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 1 ever instructed. I speak thus confi
dently, because she was a pupil of mine some
four or five years. Truly yours,
JOHN NEWMAN.
ypon the general principle that nothing tends
more to impair and destroy the intellect, than
superficial habits of study, no young lady, in
this Institution will be permitted to take up
studies beyond the grasp of her mind, or to ad
vance from a lower to a higher class until she
has thoroughly mastered all that precedes.—
The mind that has not comprehended common
arithmetic and English Grammar, is but poor
ly Qualified to grapple with the intricacies of
the higher mathematics, or the subtleties of
metaphysics,
W- invite patronage, and we intend to de
serve 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
ities The Intellect, in its onward progress,
*s still dependent upon the principles of asso
ciation, the powers of judgement and memory.

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 ffraduahm.
An effort merely to please a people, being
the first stop towards duplicity and fraud, duty
alone will he the Polar Star taught: and no
Yankee drumming, for students, need he ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.
