Department.

full advantages of the College course.
Every student will be required to pursue the course of
instruction adopted by the Board of Trustees, unless her
parent or guardian otherwise direct, and in this case the pri-
vilege of selecting studies must be subject to the judgment of
the Faculty.
Each student will be provided with a copy of the rules
and regulations of the College, which on her entrance she will be
required to read and subscribe as an expression of her desire
to reap the benefits of the Institution, and her purpose to
conform to its laws.

require less time, according to the advancement as well as

close of the second session, or Spring Term is public.
Reports respecting the deportment, diligence and scholar-
ship of the students are sent to parents or guardians at the
close of each month.
Library.
The Sigourneyian Society, formed by the young ladies for
their mutual advancement in literature, have recently furnished
nished their library room with a handsome collection of books,
judiciously selected, and immediate steps will be taken to ex-
tend the collection.

The College Buildings
The College Buildings are at a convenient distance from
the town of Greensborough to accommodate pupils (residing
in the town,) in the various literary departments of the col-
lege; but students residing in college will have little occasion
casion to visit the town. The visiting of stores unattended by

12
some member of the Faculty, is expressly inhibited. The
expenditures of the young ladies are therefore entirely with-
in the control of their parents and guardians; and the direc-
tions they may give on this subject shall be rigidly observed.
When a student is withdrawn from College on account of
ill health or family affliction, all moneys paid in advance will
be refunded.
Terms and Vacations.
The college year is divided into two Terms or Sessions.
The first Term begins the second Monday in July, and ends
the first Thursday in December. The second Term begins
the first Monday in January, and ends the first Thursday in
June. It is of the utmost importance that all the students of
the College be present in time to attend the first recitations of
their respective classes, since an absence of a few days at the
time when a rew branch of study is commenced, seldom fails
to embarrass the whole course.
Health.
The College is situated on a high and healthy eminence,
free from any local source of disease. Since the Institution
went into operation the young ladies have enjoyed unusual
health, the cases of sickness which have occurred being comparatively
paratively few arid not attributable to local causes.
