Special Advantages Young ladies enjoy rare and special advantages in the Liberty Ladies College. t These are, in addition to the social and moral culture of the people of Liberty, the healthfulness and beauty of the town and College, the convenience of equipment, and the new and elegant furnishings, These special advantages we haVe by virtue of the pres- ence of William Jewell College and our proximity to Kansas City. Young ladies occasionally attend public entertainments and lec- tures at William Jewell College. These are of a Very high order, and can not fail of great benefit. Here we may come in contact with the leading spirits of the day. There can but be a literary and stimulat- ing atmosphere among such associations. The value of our proximity to wide awake Kansas City can not be oyerdrawn. Here artists and musicians of renown come, such as do not ordinarily visit our inland towns. Special elevating attractions are presented in the city. These are fully in reach of our Pupils. The enterprising people of Liberty haVe often chartered trams for these special occasionSefor day or night. We have the benefit of a leading city, without its unpleasant and evil influences.
