Charges per Session of 20 Weeks
In consequence of the financial depression pervading the country, the
Trustees have reduced the charges for board to $15.00 per month, in or-
der to place the advantages of the school within the reach of a larger num-
ber of persons. This reduction in the charges will not, in the least, re-
restrict the facilities and comforts afforded by the Institution.

Greensboro Female College 13
The College is located in Greensboro. which has long been
noted for the intelligence, social refinement and morality of
its citizens, and is entirely free from any local cause of disease,
rendering it a very desirable place for the education of young
ladies. Greensboro, for many years, previous to the late war,
was justly celebrated for its excellent and liberally patronized
Institutions of learning for young ladies It is in the central
part of North Carolina and easy of access by railroad from
every direction.
Building and Furniture
The buildings, erected on the same site of the old Greensboro
Female College, are new and very elegant. They are
in the center of a campus embracing forty acres, a large por-
tion of which is finely shaded. They are larger and in many
particulars better suited to school purposes than were the old
buildings.
The rooms arc large and well ventilated. Each one is
warmed by a fire-place and is provided with new, comfortable
and attractive furniture.
The President and his family, the resident lady teachers and
the boarding pupils, constitute the College home circle. The
discipline of the institution is strictly parental in its character,
and the young ladies have the constant, personal supervision
Boarding Department

14 Annual Catalogue
of the President and his Lady. Strict attention is paid to
the cultivation of true refinement, purity of morals and christian
principles.
We aim at the highest, moral, mental, and physical culture,
that our pupils may be properly fitted for their legitimate
sphere, as educated, Christian women. To this end the Pres-
ident embraces every opportunity for counsel, encouragement,
or reproof, and, aided by the ladies of the faculty, endeavors
constantly to surround the inmates of the College with the
atmosphere of a cheerful, well regulated family.
Health and Comfort
The health and comfort of our pupils receive constant and
special attention. Hours of study, rest and recreation, are ar-
ranged with reference to their physical, as well as intellectual
welfare. A portion of each day is set apart for invigorating,
out-door exercise. When well, their health is guarded with
parental care in sickness, they receive the utmost kindness
and attention. The Trustees are making arrangements for es-
tablishing a gymnasium with appliances for healthful, pleasant
exercises.
Apparatus
The Institution is furnished with all the appliances of a first
class Female College, consisting of excellent Musical Instru-
ments, ample Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus, Scien-
tific Charts, Maps, Globes, &c. These afford the Professor
material aid in his lectures and experiments illustrative of the
Natural Sciences.
A well-selected Library of useful and entertaining books
for reading and reference, is at all times accessible to the young
ladies of the school.

Greensboro Female College 15
System of Instruction
Our course of study is sufficiently extensive and well arranged.
Instruction is designed to be systematic and thorough.
The constant aim of the Faculty is to secure accurate
scholarship and a high standard of attainments.
We consider the object of pursuing a course of study to be,
not only to acquire knowledge, but so to train and develop
the intellectual powers, that the mind may become capable of
correct, discriminating, vigorous thought.
The Faculty earnestly recommend to parents having daughters
preparing for College, to have them well trained in spelling,
reading, writing, geography, grammar and arithmetic.-
Applicants for admission, even into the advanced classes, are
often found almost totally deficient in these essential studies.
Parents are sometimes disappointed in the classification of
their daughters, This is not our fault. Our duty to the institution,
to our patrons, and to the pupils committed to our
charge, forbids us to place a pupil in a class for which she is
not prepared by previous training.
Examinations and Reports
Every quarter closes with a written examination in which the
pupil has ample time and opportunity to manifest her knowl-
edge of the subject, and upon the result of this examination,
combined with the daily record of scholarship, a report is made
of the pupil’s standing. This, with a statement of general
deportment, is forwarded to the parent or guardian.
The information contained in the reports to parents and
guardians, forms a basis for appropriate counsel and encour-
agement.

16 Annual Catalogue
In the Music Department w
instruction consisting of a series of exercises, studies, and prac-
tice, well calculated to insure success in learning the princi-
ples of the science and skill in performance. Special atten-
tion will be paid to Vocal Music.
In the Department of Fine Arts, pupils receive all needful
instruction, and are required to learn to draw and paint, in-
stead of relying upon the Professor to do the work for them.
Religious Advantages
The regular exercises of the school are opened and closed
with appropriate religious services. The young ladies are re-
quired to attend church, once at least every Sabbath and
when the weather is inclement, religious services are conduct-
ed in the College Chapel.
A regular Sunday School is conducted in the College
Chapel, every Sabbath afternoon, under the direction of the
President of the College and the resident lady teachers of the
faculty.
Visiting and Correspondence
The young ladies are not permitted to spend a night out of
the College and visits in the day will be regulated by the
wishes of parents and guardians, and the discretion of the
Faculty.
Young gentlemen wishing to call on the young ladies of the
College, must present letters of introduction from their pa-
rents or guardians. Necessary calls upon boarding pupils

Greensboro Female College 17
should be so arranged as to interfere as little as possible with
their studies.
The correspondence of the young ladies will be under the
direct supervision of the President. And while he opens no
letters that come into the school, and reads none that go out,
except in extreme cases, he allows no correspondence with
young gentlemen, except by permission of parent or guardian.
Uniform
To avoid extravagance and unpleasant distinctions in dress,
a uniform has been adopted
For Winter- Maroon, Worsted, dark shade.
For Spring and F all one gray dress of inexpensive material.
For Summer- simple white, trimmed according to taste.
The uniform is designed to be worn only when pupils ap-
pear in public.
For ordinary wear, plain, neat clothing is amply sufficient.
Parents are advised not to indulge their daughters in expen-
sive articles of dress.
Contingent Expenses
Boarding pupils will not be allowed to open account? in the
City. Purchases can be made under the direction of the officers
of the College.
Parents are requested to deposit with the President the
amount of money they may be willing for their daughters to
spend.
Young ladies are not permitted to make expensive presents,
or to purchase costly articles of jewelry.
