HE LIBERTY LADIES COLLEGE was founded eight years ago, to meet a growing demand, existing throughout the west, for the i HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMEN. i This demand was made manifest by the ever-increasing number of Western girls who annually Visit the Eastern schools 01' the institutions of Europe in order to reach educational facilities that are denied them in the West. From this broad area of 2,000,000 square miles, with a population of nearly 20,000,000, hundreds of our noble girls, at enormous cost, at the risk of health and life from Change of Climate and the perils of travel, go annu- ally to the East and to Europe to secure the best educational advantages. These would all remain here, if the desired facilities were afforded. Surely the BENEDICTIONS OF A GREAT PEOPLE await the school that is to meet this growing demand. Inspired by this lofty aim, the founders of the College set about seek- ing an eligible location for such an institution. In the Classic city of Liberty, a college town, the seat of William jewell College, one of the oldest and best endowed Colleges in the West, with a people famed for intelligence, culture and refinement, near the gr eat Western metropolis, Kansas City, was found a spot of ground which benefieent nature seems to have fashioned x US. years ago, st, for the number of titutions of mm in the oulation of at the risk I, go annu- Clvantages. :d. Surely i meet this bout seek- 3f Liberty, ildest and telligence, ; City, was fashioned LIBERTY LADIES COLLEGE. l3 with speCial reference to the location of such a school. Here the founders resolved to locate the new College. Aided by the public-spirited citizens of Liberty, they bought eleven acres for the site. Elegant buildings were erected and equipped with all the apparatus needed for a first-Class Ladiest College. LOCATION. The location of the College, in the city of Liberty, M0,, is admirable in every respect. Liberty is a beautiful town of more than three thousand inhabitants, perfectly healthful, and free from malarial influences. The surroundings are remarkably picturesque and attractive. Within half a mile of the City limits, are the famous Reed Mineral Springs, the seat of the Odd Fellows' Home of Missouri. Fourteen miles east of Liberty, are the well-known Excelsior Springs. Kansas City, fourteen miles from Liberty, is connected with it by two lines of railway, viz., the Hannibal 81 St. Joseph aid the Chicago, Milwaukee 8z St. Paul. The Wabash Railroad is four miles distant, and makes easy connection with the other roads at Birming- ham. Liberty is accessible by rail in twenty-four hours or less from Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Denver. The churches of Liberty are Baptist, Christian, Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal, and Catholic. BUILDING. The building is modern in architecture, three stories high, with basenientmthe last being of stone and the other three of brick, with stone trimmings. The main building Ugo feeti fronts to the east; the wing tIIo feeO fronts to the south. The building contains 140 rooms. Those for the pupils are mainly for two each. They are large and well ventilated. Ceil- ings are high and hallways are wide. The entire building is lighted with incandescent electric lights and heated by steam, the electric and steam plant being located 200 feet from the building. Bath rooms with hot and cold water on every tioor above the basement. The stately buildings on the crest of the hills, facing William Jewell College on the opposite side of the City; the campus, eleven acres, covered with greensward of blue grass and Clover, sloping in every direction; the College windows, commandingr as far as the eye can reach, a most charming view of, the surrounding country; here and there, glimpses of the classic Missouri river, its silvery sheen reHecting the bright sunlighteall combine to make this an IDEAL COLLEGE H,OMIC,COI'1CedCd by those who have visited the College, to be without a parallel in all the land. The great prosperity and the unprecedented growth of the College, year after year, since its foundation, prove the wisdom of the selection. COURSE O F STUDY.

According to the beautiful romance of ttAtaIaP written bv Chateaubriand, Cliactas, a youth of the tribe of the Natchez, was adopted and educated by one Lopez, a wealthy Spaniard, residing at St. Augustine. Florida. While in the midst of the forest he was captured by the Muscogulges and condemned to death by burning, Chactas was saved irom his intended fate by Atala, the supposed daughter of the chief of the tribe. She succeeded in releasing him, after confiding to him that she was the child of the same Lopez who had been the benefactor of Chactas. Because the union of her mother and Lopez had not been sanctioned by the Church. her mother exacted a vow from Atala that she would never marry. After much wandering, Ataia and Chactas were discovered by a hermit Catholic priest, at the moment when Atala had taken poison to prevent the breaking of the vow made to her mother. The priest cone veyed them to his grotto. where Atala died in the presence of the priest and her lover. THE ARTIST. UThe Death of Atala is the work of Mr. E. A. Huppert, Director of the Fine Arts Department of this College. The first sketches for ttAtala were made in Paris, in 1886, while Mr. Huppert was a student in the cele- brated Julian Academie, under Jules Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger. Mr. Huppert commenced his art studies under the renowned Carl Gutherz and Paul Hamey. In his first, third and fourth years he received medals and honors from the authorities of XVashington University. In 188576-7 he was in Europe, studying in the Royal Conservatory of Munich, under Raupp, and in the celebrated julian Academie of Paris, afterwards traveling extensively and studying in Germany, Visiting Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Halie, Cologne, Worms-Darmstadt, Bingen, 13mm, Dusseldorf, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Strassbourg, Constanz, M uiiich. As a result of these studies and their accompanying productions, Mr. Httppert was the recipient of much complimentary attention from famous artists. T-H,ENG.CO.K.G 7.. ZWngvt am a, E.

While the government of the college is controlled by the principles of the Christian Religion, the college w as not founded by any one denomina- tion, and is undenominational in its government and instruction. Pupils are required to attend the Church designated by parents or guardians. 'lleachei's representing the different denominations have been selected, and will acroinpany pupils to the churches named by parents or guardians. FURNISHING. The building is well furnished throughout Each room has carpet, full bedroom suit tot antique finishl, wardrobe 0r Closet, center table, chairs tincluding rockeiv, electric light, and radiator for steam heat. BOARDING DEPARTMENT. All pupils not living in town, or having near relatives in town, will be required to board in the College. This will universally yield the best results to pupils. The President, his family, teachers and pupils constitute the household. We hope to observe the care, order and discipline of a well organized, affectionate, Christian home. The young ladies are expected to care for their own rooms, which are inspected every morning by the Matron. Suggestions will often be made by the Directress of the College Home and the Matron, upon neatness in housekeeping; order and tidiness will be strictly required. Regularity of habits will be rigorously enforced on all pupils boarding in the College. EXPENSE IN DRESS. Parents are often to blame for the heavy expenses of their daughters at Boarding Schools. Unnecessary expenditures in dress are frequent-if not the rule. Young ladies really require fewer changes of dress and less expensive clothing at school than at home. One neat Ctuniformlll dress for Sunday service is sufficient at school; while, at home, three or four changes would not be too much. We dzszzrage expensive drawing and Me use of nrfmzzyztw fezwhy. UNIFORM. On Sundays, as well as all public occasions, the hoarding pupils are required to wear uniform. This is economy and prevents distinctions in dress. Throughout the season; except during the months of September and May; uniform must be worn. It consists of dress, cloak, and the Oxford u: 1'; rathe- lust named to be purchased after entering school. The dress and Cloak may be of any serviceable material, but must be blade. SPECIAL COURSES. Pupils sulticiently matured, who wish to take special or irregular miirsm, may ilu so provided the President shall decide that the selected rum St is preferable to attain the end in view. Special courses are arranged for those who have been teachers or rit-uir-t! to heeome teachers, and certificates of their grades and the work unt- will he presented when they leave. 26 LIBERTY LADIES' COLLEGE. We take special interest in instructing and training in Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Art, and Elocution pupils who wish to become teachers of these branches. Conservatories of Music, Art Schools, and Schools of Elocution present no better opportunity for such pupils than our College. PHYSICAL CULTURE. The College owns an admirably lighted, well heated, and thoroughly ventilated gymnasium. It is fully supplied with necessary appliancese- weights, bars, rings, clubs, bells, etc., etc. ' The College campus also presents abundant opportunity for healthful exercise. On the beautiful lawns, games-vas croquet, tennis, etoecan be indulged in to the young ladies health and great delight. Much outdoor exercise at suitable seasons will be required. In cases where parents are willing to bear the expense of horse-hire, pupils may occasionally, in com- pany with a teacher, go horse-back riding. In fact we encourage all outdoor exercise possible, consistent with good government and work. HEALTH RECORD. During the eight years of the existence of Liberty Ladiesl College- though one of the largest in the c0untry-there has never been a serious case of sickness of any kind. This is worth much to parents, and saves in the expense of sending to school. LITERARY SOCIETIES. There are two thoroughly organized and well-governed Literary Societies in the CollegeeAlethean and Cleophas. Almost every pupil in school is a member of one or the other of these Societies. Great enthusiasm and excellent results have marked their existence. Exercises consist of instrumental and vocal music, readings, essays, recitations, etc. Teachers and officers frequently attend the meetings of these Societies, giving their influence and encouragement to the young ladies in this excellent line of work. Such organizations quicken the mind and reline the tastes. They are an intellectual stimulus and a means of literary culture. Rooms will be set apart for the purpose of these Societies, and the young ladies will be encouraged to arrange and furnish them attractively, as opportunity may allow. MISSIONARY SOCIETY. The young ladies, aided by the officers and teachers, also conduct a Missionary Society. It is hoped that a deeply religious and missionary spirit will characterize the pupils of the College. Information touching home and forezgzz fields will be sought and presented at the meetings. There will be readings, talks, recitations, essays, songs, prayers, and contri- butions-mall in the interest of missions. The contributions will go as directed by the indiVIdual givers.

Under appropriate rules, pupils are allowed the use of the books and magazines of the College Library and of the President's private library. Additions are made to the Library every year. During the past five years the friends of the institution have presented several hundred choice volumes. Our friends may render us valuable and lasting service by sending us an occasional volume. Such kindness is always appreciated. In addition to the books of the Library, leading religious and secular papers and magazines will be kept on tile for the young ladies. SPECIAL ADVANTAGES. Young ladies enjoy rare and special advantages in the Liberty Ladies' College. These are, in addition to the social and moral culture of the peo- ple of Liberty, the healthfulness and beauty of the town and College, the convenience of equipment, and the new and elegant furnishings. These $65221! advantages we have by virtue of the presence of William Jewell College and our proximity to Kansas City. Young ladies occasionally attend public entertainments and lectures at William Jewell College. These are mostly of a high order, and cannot fail of great beneftt. Here we may come in contact with the leading spirits of the day. There can be but a literary and stimulating atmosphere among such associations. Also, the lectures and experiments in the science de- partment have been opened to the public. Our pupils enjoy rare advantages in this line. The value of our proximity to wide-awake Kansas City cannot be overdrawn. Here artists and musicians of renown come, such as do not ordinarily visit our inland towns. Special elevating attractions may be presented in the city. These are fully in reach of our pupils. The enter- prising people of Liberty have often Chartered trains for these special occa- sionsu-for day or night. We have the benefits of a leading city, without its unpleasant and evil influences. REPORTS. A close class grade is kept by each teacher, and the result sent to parents or guardians at the end of each quarter. EXAMINATIONS. H a pupilis general average in any study does not fall below 80 during the term, and her absence from class during the term does not average more than three times per month, she may be passed wz'llzozzl wrz'llen examina- tion ,' but, if her grade falls below 80 or her absence from class, from any cu use, exceeds an average of three times per month, she mus! stand a written examination. CARE OF THE SICK. Should a pupil be sick while under our care, we shall take the same interest in her that we would wish others to take in our own Children. The LIBERTY LADIES COLLEGE. Matron and Directress of the College Home will always be found kind and attentive to those the least ill. Proper precaution will be taken to prevent serious sickness. The best physician at command will be summoned, if necessary, and his opinion in the case will be promptly sent to the parents. ENTERTAINM ENTS. Occasionally receptions, musicales, recitals, and open sessions are held in the College building. These have been pleasant and stimulating. VISITORS. We shall always welcome patrons and interested friends to the insti- tution. It shall be a pleasure, not a burden,to show them over the beautiful grounds and through the buildings. CANDIDATES FOR ADMISSION. Girls and young ladies whose attainments are within the scope of the Preparatory and Collegiate Departments will be welcomed as pupils. We will 1 Qt knowingly receive any who have been dismissed from other Colleges. The rules are easy and require only 0'2inngch and lmb'rlz'ke dcjjorliizml. Young ladies purposing to proht by their associations here shall not be dis- appointed; they are met more than half way by the cordial sympathy and earnest aid of teachers and ofhcers. Young ladies who do not so purpose are wasting time in coming to our school. DEGREES. The courses are divided into Classmal, Scientific, and Literary. Young ladies may pursue the branches of either one, or all. The degrees are, re- spectively, A. B;, B. 5., and B. L. The College Diploma will be granted those who have faithfully completed the prescribed course, and have con- ducted themselves properly during their connection with the school. Those who do not intend to graduate will be allowed to elect such studies as will best meet their wants, provided these do not conflict as to time for recitation. We suggest, however, that pupils pursue some regular course as found in the Catalogue. In addition to the regular Collegiate Diploma, one will also be awarded in each of the schools-Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Art and Elocution. By reference to the prescribed courses-Literature, Music, Art, and Elocutione it will be seen that they are comprdzmsz'vg, and the young lady who completes any one or all of them will be 27201024372 in her education and will possess a high degree of intellectual culture. The degrees are given upon merit. They mean mud; to those who receive them.

To those who are seeking diplomas by short methods, or who may be tempted by almqbcr ojkrs where other merits are wanting, we can offer no inducements. But if you desire for your daughters the solid advantages of thorough training under the most faithful and skillful teachers, who, with- out flattery, will be true to their best interests; if you wish your daughters to become thorough and accomplished scholars w in a word, POLISHED AFTER THE SIMILITUDE OF A PALACEQl then give them to us, and also give us your confidence. At great cost we have brought to our aid the best talent that we could reach, both in Europe and in America. Help us in this great work by teaching your daughters to confide in us, and we promise you the happiest results. Charges mmf be paid slrz'crtly in advance at the beginning of each half year. Please do not wait for us to write, reminding you of this contract. Bills overdue will draw 8 per cent. interest. If your daughter enters school within the first month, the charge will be from the first day of the term; entering later, she will be charged from the week of entrance. Parents will please limit their daughters' correspondence. This is a source of frequent evil. Look well also the Character of even their young lady friends to whom they write. Much depends upon chaste, elevating correspondence. Parents will please ft'rnish a list of persons with whom their daughters may correspond. We most earnestly advise that parents forbid their daughters corresponding with any young man with whom they are uuamuainted and whose Character they do not know. A, large corres- pondence will not be permitted. i We discourage the frequent visits of young ladies,eve11 to their homes as well as to the homes of their friends. Young ladies boarding in the College may occasionally visit near relatives in the town, Md 7267167 Z0 57km! Mr 114.3711. Parents are earnestly asked not to be too indulgent in allowing pocket-mouey to their daughters. All express packages must be prepaid. All telegrams to pupils should be addressed to the President. He claims the right to open all telegrams: Please do not ask permission for your daughters to attend parties or social gatherings of any kind in the town or community. When parents or other relatives visit the College, it shall not be their night to interfere With the College rules. If the youngr ladies enjoy special prix ilegus. It can szy be by 070' permissmn.

XVr ask, for the pupil's good, that parents not allow their daughters in spend the Christmas holidays in town-nor a few days with friends texcept :mrm-dmte relativesl in town at the close of school. R equests concerningr pupils, to receive attention, should be sent, not through pupil's, but directly to the Presuleut by mail. 3o LIBERTY LADIESl COLLEGE. REGULATIONS FOR DAY PUPILS. I.

Williams, has been the most successful in the history of Liberty Ladies' College. It gives me great pleasure to recommend him and his excellent school to all who may be interested in female education. WILLIAM FROST BISHO ,Ph. D. D. D., Pastor of Presbyterian Church, Liberty MO. I have known the Liberty Ladiesl College intimately and well for hve years, and 1 never knew a better school. It is good enough for anybodvlst daughter, I care not who the man is. T. P. STAFFORD, D. D., Pastor of Baptist Church. Liberty, Mo. Liberty is a very healthful location and easily reached by railroad from any point. Liberty Ladies' College has splendid building equipments and is situated at a suitable distance from the main part of the town, but con- veniently for shopping and attendance at church. President Williams has had much experience in the education of young ladies and is exhibiting great ability in the management of the College, revealing a quick insight into human nature and an active concern as to the mental and moral welfare of his pupils. ELD. A. B. JONES, Minister in Christian Church, Liberty, Mo. Liberty Ladiesl College is, in my opinion, worthy of commendation. N0 college for young ladies in the West, known to me, is more beautiful for situation, more modern in its appointments, more careful in its discipline, more thorough in its course of study, more competent in its corps of instruc- tors, more progressive in its ideas, or more wise and conservative in its gen- eral management. J. P. GREENE, D. D., L.L. D., President of Will1am Jewell College. 1 have known President Williams for several years, and have a high regard for him as a man. During this year he has conducted the work of Liberty Ladiesl College and has won a good name for hlmself among our He has a good faculty. The building is an excellent one, With all I know that President Williams and wife will con- the young ladies committed to their charge. The Citizens. modern conveniences. scientiously care for College is a good school home. 36 LIBERTY LADIESl COLLEGE. ELD. FRED V. LOOS, Pastor Christian Church, Liberty, Mo. In point of equipment and appurtenances I know of no school excell- ing it. For thoroughness of study and excellence of course it is all that could be asked. Fully up to all the latest in Literature, Science, and espe- cially Music and Art, it meets all that could be desired. The management is composed of tried and trained instructors. Home-like in social features. No one need fear sending a girl to President Williams. J. H. SIMMONS, A. M. Professor of English Language and Literature, William Jewell College. I think well of Liberty Ladiesl College. The material equipment is excellent, the curriculum offers a wide range of valuable work, the officers and teachers are, in my judgment, admirably fitted for their respective places, and the location could hardly be equalledmwhether regard is had to beauty, healthfulness, or social and moral advantages. W. R. ROTHWELL, D. D., Professor of Moral Philosophy and Theology, William Jewell College. I regard Liberty Ladiesl College as taking high rank in the higher education of young ladies. The buildings are new, with every modern appliance for convenience, health and comfort. There can be no better location. President Williams devotes his whole time and energy to his school; provides the best teachers and the most bountiful and healthy board- ing. He is eminently worthy the success he is achieving. W. A. CROUCH, President Turney Bank, llurney, Mo. 1 am well pleased with the management and course of study Of the Liberty Ladies' College. REV. JOHN A. BROADUS, D. D., L.L. D., Late President S. B. Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky. Prof. Williams is a man of decided ability, and is apt to be thorough in whatever he undertakes. He is altogether reliable in character, and has decided good sense, and sound, practical judgment. His good sense, kindlv disposition and pleasant ways adapt him well to the vocation of teaching. His wife is also quite a pleasing and sensible lady, and they may both be relied on with entire confidence as to their fidelity to all obligations, and disposition to make all their work genuine. 7 LIBERTY LADIESl COLLEGE. 37 EX-GOVERNOR C. H. HARDIN, A. M., L.L. D., Late President Board of Trustees of Hardin College, Mexico. MO. I have known Professor C. M. XVilliams of Hardin College for several years, very favorably, and can most cheerfully recommend him. He has special executive ability, and is a ripe scholar. He is hrm and decided in all his convictions, rules with prudent judgment and conservative action. He has special ability in the business management of a college-indeed, I think he has few equals in this respect. REV. G. L. BLACK, D. D., Liberty, Missouri. I knew President Williams as a cultiired Christian gentlemen prior to his coming to Liberty. I know him as an experienced educator and practi- cal business man. His manner of life, his methods of instruction, and his tact 1n governing young ladies of varied tastes and temperaments peculiarly tit him for the position he occupies. He is also well married. Mrs. Williams is admirable adapted by natural endowments and education to be female head of such an institution. She readily wins and permanently holds the love and confidence of the girls. This makes the school a Christian home for all committed to their care. CONCERNING THE WORK OF A. K. YANCEY. lPresident Yancey, educated at Richmond College, Virginia, and the Virginia University, has been a successful educator a quarter of a century: Six years in Virginia; six years President of Central College, Alabama; twelve years President of Hardin College at Mexico, Mal IExtract from Hardin College Faculty Record, June, 1897.1 We, the Faculty of Hardin College, receiving with deep regret in- telligence 0f the purpose of our esteemed President to retire frorii the position which he has soilong, so ably and so successfully-hlled, des1re .to express publicly our high regard and our appreciation of his Wise adminis- tration. . . . . Several of us working for years under his JUdlCIOUS government, know as no others can, how his whole life and energies, and a large part of his income, have been devoted to the interests of the school, and how the school has grown, year by year, in numbers and increased in excellence uiitil it ranks among the first. We fully realize how much 15 due to hisclear-s1ghted judgment and self-sacrificing devotion to this cause. 38 LIBERTY LADIESl COLLEGE. While we feel that all who are interested in the welfare of the College and rejoice in its success must unite with us in honoring him who has had so large a part in accomplishing these results, we would feel our work only half done if we failed to mention, in terms of highest praise, the earnest, devoted labors of Mrs. Yancey. Faithfully has she aided her husband in hlS work, and her Christian teaching and consistent example have made impressions that time can never efface. Signed: GEO. A. ROSS. A. E. GUERNE. C. W.

I wish to welcome you to our town as joint owner and President, with Mr. C. M. Williams, of Liberty Ladiesl College. Your splendid career of twelve years at Hardin College, is the best assurance of success in your new field. You have shown wonderful enterprise and great ability as President of Hardin College. All our citizens will give you a hearty welcome. They can congratu- late themselves on having two such able and experienced men at the head of this College for young ladies. Signed: Very truly, J. P. GREENE, President William Jewell College. Rev. J. C. Armstrong, D. D. 'of St. Louis, says: No man connected with the education of young women in Missouri has achieved larger or more satisfactory results than President A. K. Yancey. His business plans have been broad and his expenditures generous, not only to gather pupils, but to supply a teaching force of highest grade. His abilities as instructor have been equalled only by his energy in that peculiarly difficult task of managing well the business affairs of a large institution. Justice constrains me to speak in highest terms of President A. K. Yancey. His wonderful success in getting and holding so large a number of students can be accounted for only by the first-class quality of the teach- ing done under his instruction, and the wholesome influence he exercises over the lives of his pupils. $ 95 tk An up-to-date progressive educator, a large-hearted Christian gentlemen. Signed: J. E. COOK, Pastor First Baptist Church, St. joseph. LIBERTY LADIES COLLEGE. 39 Much credit is due Professor A. K. Yancey for pushing forward the great work of female education. For twelve years his wise, aggressive policy has stimulated a generous rivalry which has brought gratifying results. His skill as manager of school property and his tact as an advertiser have brought to him a large degree of success. The fact that he and Rev. C. M. XVilliams are associated in the ownership of Liberty Ladies' College fore- tells the grand future that awaits that institution. Signed: A. w. PAYNE, Business Manager Central Baptist. Office of STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES, NEVADA, M0,, May 27, 1898. . If natural and acquired attainments, long service, and phenomenal success entitle one to preeminence in anyi'department of work, President A. K. Yancey is surely entitled to that distinction in the work of Female Education. I know of no one who has outstripped him in his Chosen pro- fession. Eight years ago I became his pastor in Mexico, Mo., and was thrown into most intimate relations with him. Hardin College had only about 40 boarding pupils. Through his indomitable energy and faithful work, he has increased its patronage nearly four-fold. Even fmancial panic could not retard the work. Several times the building has been enlarged, and yet the constant cry has been, ttmore room? I attribute no small part of President YanceyTs success to the inhu- ence of his cultured, consecrated wife. In both College and Church, her intinence is a benediction. President Yancey and wife are henceforth to be associated with President Williams and wife, in the management of Liberty Ladies College. This quartet insures the greatest success for this already successful institu- tion. The work of these educators at Hardin forecasts the future of Liberty Ladies College. The ideal location, the magnihcent buildings, the intelli- gent, cultured community, are additional guarantees of success. A. E. ROGERS, Secretary of State Board of Charities. FROM THE BANKERS, OF MEXICO, MO. May 20, 1898. Prof A. K. Yancey became President of Hardin College in 1885, when its patronage was comparatively small. The College has greatly prospered under his management. The standard has been raised, the course has been extended, the patronage has been increased from 40 boarding pupils to I40, coming from 26 states. During the years of panic and bankruptcy, when great commercial firms were pushed to the wall, the College, under Prof. Yancey's management, reached the greatest prosperity in:its history. . From length of service-24 years as college presidentmfrom his superior educational advantages, and especially, measured by the phenom- enal success he has achieved, Prof. Yancey has proven himself an educator of high order. A w a ..v........s LIBERTY . LADIES COLLEGE. For 13 years, Prof. Yancey has had Close business relations with us. His accounts have been kept with remarkable accuracy, and in a businesslike way. He pays his debts and meets obligations with a degree of: promptness that has won him respect and confidence in bank Circles, and among business people generally. By advertising far and wide, the advantages of Mexico, at a cost of more than $15,000, and by giving the college a high and honorable rank among western schools, Prof. Yancey has pertormed an invaluable service for our city.
