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, duty alone will be tlie Polar Star taught; and no Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col lege.
