Young ladies enjoy rare and special advantages in the Liberty Ladiest College. These are, in addition to the so- cial and moral culture of the people Of Liberty, the health- d ' fulness and beauty of the town and College, the conven- f ience of equipment, and the new and elegant furnishings. These special advantages we have by virtue of the presence 8 of William Jewell College and our proximity to Kansas g City. Young ladies occasionally attend public entertainments and lectures at William Jewell College. These are mostly, h f of a high order, and cannot fail of great beneht. Here we . may come in contact with the leading spirits of the day. e There can be but a literary and stimulating atmosphere S among such associations. r- The value of our proximity to wide-avvake Kansas 11- City cannot be overdrawn. Here artists and musicians of hp. 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 If: for these special occasions-for day or night.

EXAMINATIONS. If a pupilis 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 re- 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 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. 65
