'l'he Academy was under the direction of the Trustees uf Richmond Academy who also laid out the town, numbered the Iota, named the alreetx, built the church, elected the rector, chose the Academy teacher, bought the books and prescribed the courm- of studleag also the Trustees regulated the cemetery, choae the aexton, and many other items of civic atiairn. With funds from the sale of public lands, the Trustees bought two houses on Bay Street betwen Third and Fourth atreeta for the Academy. The pupila were divided into three classes: the first was taught reading, writing, and apellingg the second, English grammar and cypheringg the third, l.atin Greek, and mathematics. The Trus- tees charged tuition, and they con- tltttletl lo do no until 1910. Augusta wan a aniall frontier town, and the school grew alowly. By l79l, the school began to show a decline in funds: the buildings needed cnnatant regains. and at the und of l79t'l, the sc ool wan temporarily closed. ln latin, probalilb under the supervision of llicliard Vlarke, a lin had experience in Dublin and London, the 'Fruatt-as be. gan to erect a brick building on the south aide ol' Telfair Street between Fifth and Sixth atm-et-, lin November l, 1802, the school was reopenl- I, nl though it was far from being liniedu-el.

The Academy tlourinhed, and by it-lib ther.- were two teachers ln the clarnical 'lepartmn-nt, two in the English department. and three ia the fomale department. This lant department was housed in a dlntunt, separate part of the building, ami Ita atudenta did not dlambm at the same time aa the boyii did.
