The Friends and Benefactors of this Institution will be gratified to learn, that by the middle of September next, one hundred and ten feet of the College Stone building, four stories high, will be ready for the reception of Students to the amount of fifty or sixty in addition to their present number, ninety.
This notice is given especially for the convenience of those who have been waiting for admission to the privileges of this Seminary.
Necessity has compelled the constituted authorities of the Institution to require that the expenses of Students be paid one year in advance. They are as follows:
For forty weeks therm including board, tuition, fuel, light, washing and room rent, in the Grammar School, - - - - - - - 60, dollars.
Do College - - - - - - - - 70,
Students when admitted candidates for the Ministry, are charged only 50.
If Students remain during vacation their expenses will be as in term, and no more.
It is obvious that the prosperity of the Institution depends on a strict adherence to the foregoing requisition. The charges being so low, she must avail herself of their full benefit, and without defalcation: it being understood that if any Student be dismissed for misconduct, or withdrawn by reason of sickness, the balance due him will be refunded.
The Winter session will commence on the 26th of October. 5 Nov
