Is well situated, and has many advantages
for the studious; it is retired, in a healthy
country, free from the noise and bustling
of town and village distractions; a suffi
ciency of comfortable and convenient
rooms; a well selected and growing libra
ry, belonging to and under the directioa
of the Students; a well conducted
Debating Society
Under their own regulations, from which
all political and religious discussions are
excluded. It also has many advantages to
the satisfaction and interest of parents;
their sons are treated with kindness and
mildness; at the same time they are made
to behave themselves. Their health and
comfort as well as education and deport
ment are attended to; no idling, contract
ing debts, vicious indulgences. Thus
whilst the studkius and thoughtful find
many things to interest them and render
their situation agreeable and comfortable,
whilst they enjoy themselves and are hap
py in the prosecution of their studies, the
idle and vicious become restive, long to
be free from a proper restraint and by ar
tifice frequently impose on their credulous
and unsuspecting paresits, thereby leaving
the studious in the full enjiyment of their
quiet, and the possession of those advanta
ges which none but the studious care for
or know how to appreciate.
