Academy will be resumed the first
Monday in January next, under the con
tinued superintendence of THO. L.
RA USD ALE. T 'he course of studies
will be preparatory to the Classes of the
University.
Believing that a School too numerous
retards the progress of the Scholars indi
vidually, we have limited the number to
be received to twenty. This regulation
renders it necessary to increase the price
01 tuition; yet the alteration will be more
than compensated by the accelerated im
provement of the Students. Tuition
tee, S25 per annum, and in ever? in

student will be admitted for less timp
than two sessions. Board can be had in
genteel families convenient to the Aca
demy, at S5 per month. The strictest
attention will be paid to impressing up
on the Students the necessity of a gentle
manly deportment, both in and out of
School.
This Institution offers sunerior advan
tages to those who intend their children
and wards to pursue a Colleiriate ccurse.
The number o.Students being prescri
