LINDEN HALL Special Care of Younger Girls The Principal's wife exercises special supervision over the younger girls. This department is in charge of teachers who have the true mother instinct. They devote themselves with sympathy, patience, and kindness to their noble work. Linden Hall makes a specialty of caring for girls of primary and grammarfschool ages. It provides for them a happy and com' fortable home. Thus, when circumstances make it necessary for parents to send daughters of youthful age away to school, they may be placed in Linden Hall with the utmost assurance that nothing will be left undone to promote their physical and moral welfare. To the casual observer it is evident that the school succeeds in an unusual degree in providing a normal, healthy, and happy life for its younger charges. They bear upon them the stamp of physi' cal wellfbeing. They also give evidence of a happy and contented frame of mind. ' The lowest usual age for admission is seven years, though, under special circumstances, still younger girls may be admitted. Buildings of Classic Charm The School buildings, arranged in a manner which reminds the visitor of the classic quadrangle, occupy a retired situation, fronting on a tastefully planted campus. Their substantial characf ter, as well as the beauty of their simple outlines, invest them with peculiar charm. In harmony, rather than in contrast with this classic beauty, is the spirit of modern life to be found in classfrooms, in the gymnasium, on the athletic field, and on the adjacent campus. Chapel The beautiful Chapel occupies a commanding situation at the entrance to the grounds. This gem of church architecture is the gift of the late G. W. Dixon, of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, as a me' morial to his daughter, Mary Dixon, who was graduated in the class of 1879 and died April 4, 1882. It was dedicated February 24, 1885. Beautiful art windows and tablets, in memory of the donor and of former principals, enhance the beauty of the auditorium. fPage N ineteenj
