Opelika, Russell County, Alabama.
TIIHE Building for this Institution is now
I completed, and the Board of Directors
iuvite the attention of Pareuts and Guardians
to the advantages offered by Prof. McCormick,
for the education of both sexes.
By the McCormick System of Education,
j the reasoning powers are more expanded and
| better cultivated in five months than by the old
J system in five years.
Legitimate Education is the object of this
College ; without the aid of Theology, Music,
duplicity, begging, fashion or foolery in any
j 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, duty
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.
Rates of Tuition :

After students are well learned in the Na
tural Sciences, they will be allowed to enter
any ancient or modern Language at $25 per
term.
