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

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

?- 6 aaa ii! ArT - 5 TO PARENTS T 0 those who are seeking diplomas by short methods, or who may be tempted by cheaper offers where other merits are wanting, we can offer no inducements. But if you desire for your daughters the solid advantages of thor- ough training under the most faithful-and skillful teachers, who, without flattery, will be true to the best interests; if you wish your daughters to become thorough and ac- COmplished scholars, 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 hap- piest results. Charges must be paid strictly in advance at the begin- ning 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 session; enter- ing later, she will be charged from the week of entrance to close of school year. Parents will please limit their daughters correspon- dence. This is a source of frequent evil. Look well also to the character of even their young lady friends to whom they write. M'uch depends upon chaste, elevating corre- spondence. Parents will please'furnish a list of persons with whom their daughters may correspond. We most earnestly advise that parents forbid their daughters corre- sponding with any young man with whom they are unac- quainted and whose character they do not kn correspondence will not be permitted We discourage the frequent Visits of young lady friends.
