?- 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. Visiting in town is not permitted, except in com- pany With a teacher. Visiting in Kansas City or any of the smaller towns is not permitted at all. ow. A large 52 all SP Wl Pr SP tei or

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
