PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT W. J. GRANNIS, Principal. H. W. GRANNIS, Latin and Greek. H. N. GRANNIS. HE first object of this school is to prepare students thoroughly to enter the Freshman class in college. The second object is to fit young- men who cannot take a collegiate course for active business life. It has a Primary Department, an English, a Classical and a Commercial course. Its history is well known, the present principal having had charge of the English department from 1852 to 1862. and from 1873 to the present time. The teacher of the Classic department is a graduate of the university, and under- stands clearly the methods used there. He is also a graduate of Goodman ' s Business College, in which he was a teacher for four years. Those who enter the Commercial department can enter any class in the preparatory school. The names of the teachers are a sufficient guarantee that the teaching will be thorough and practical; calculated to develop and discipline the mental faculties, and store the mind with useful and practical knowledge. While the cultivation of the intellect must, of necessity, receive a large share of attention, great pains will be taken to bring into healthful activity those higher and nobler powers which constitute us moral beings. Its pupils are taught that there is no excellence without great labor, and that as a man soweth so shall he reap. They are scattered through North, South, West, and itr fact, almost every State of the Union. —27—
