EXAMINATIONS. If a pupills general average in any study does not fall below eighty during the term, and her absence from class during the term does not average more than three times per month, she may be passed without written examina- tion; but if her grade falls below eighty or her absence from class, from any cause, exceeds an average of three times per month, she must stand a written examination. When a subject is taught by lectures, examinations are ree quired. 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 Matron and Directress of the College Home will always be found kind and atten- tive to those the least ill. Proper precautions Will be taken to prevent serious sickness. The best physician at com- mand will be summoned, if necessary, and his opinion in the case will be promptly sent to the parents. In cases of protracted illness, a nurse Will be employed, at the expense of parent. ENTERTAINMENTS. Occasionally receptions, musicales, recitals, and'open sessions are held in the College building. These have been pleasant and stimulating. 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 not knowingly re- ceive any who have been dismissed from other Colleges. 'The rules are easy and require only diligence and lady-like deportment. Young ladies purposing to profit by their associations here shall not be disappointed; they are met more than half way by the cordial sympathy and earn- est aid of teachers and officers. Young ladies who do not so purpose are wasting time in coming to our school. 50

Young ladies enjoy rare and special advantages in the Liberty Ladies? College. These are, in addition to the so- cial and moral culture of the people of Liberty, the health- - fulness and beauty of the town and College, the conven- ience of equipment, and the new and elegant furnishings. These special 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 benefit. 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. 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 en- terprising people of Liberty have often chartered trains for these special occasions-for day or night. We have the benefit 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 quar- ter. Demerits are given for Violation of school rules and general misconduct. When a boarding pupil has received '75 demerits she will not be retained longer in school. When a day pupil has received 25 demerits she will not be retained longer. Parents will please inspect these i'e- ports carefully, and call the pupil to account for demerits and low grades. 49 3M. .5ng-

DEGREES THE courses are divided into Classical and Literary. The degrees are, respectively, A. B., and B. L. The College Diploma Will be granted those who have faithfully completed the prescribed course, and have conducted them- selves properly during their connection with theschool. 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 recitations. 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 Mu- sic, Vocal Music, Art, and Elocution. By reference to the prescribed courses-nLiterature, Music, Art, and Elocution-it Will be seen that they are comprehensive; and the young lady who completes any one or all of them will be thorough in her education and will possess a high degree of intellectual culture. The degrees are given upon merit. They mean much to those WhO re- ceive them. t No one can receive a post-graduate degree Who has not previously graduated from this College, or from some other, considered by the Faculty equal in grade to this. If from another College, she must give evidence that she possesses accurate knowledge of the studies required in our regular course. ' SI 7 .aisa
