REM ARKS.
This Institution has been in operation but little over a
year. The Principal has been successfully engaged in con-
ducting a Female Seminary in Lexington and a neighboring
town or the last fifteen years. It is his purpose to make
the Institution over which he presides, permanent, and of
commanding excellence. No pains or expense will be spared
to furnish the greatest facilities for imparting instruction.
The studies of pupils will be adapted to their capacity and
progress, and the course of instruction in every department
peculiarly thorough. Each Department will have its own
responsible head, while the Principal, in addition to the duty
of personal instruction, will exercise a watchful oversight of
all the parts, so as to give efficiency and unity to the whole
system. To aid in the accomplishment of this object, the
Principal has engaged the services of Rev. EDWARD WRIGHT
and LADY, who will enter the Institution at the opening of
the ensuing half session, to commence on the first Monday
of February, 1847. It will be the aim to train the mind to
patient and independent investigation, which can only be
secured by great thoroughness in the first principles, com-
mencing with the simplest elementary forms of truth, and
advancing to a complete and liberal view of the whole sub-
ject, suited to the intellectual capacity and development of
the pupil.
As a general rule, boarding scholars will be expected to
reside in the family of the Principal. When all the appli-
cants cannot be accommodated by the Principal, as has been
the case for the last year, he desires to be consulted, and
will cheerfully recommend suitable boarding houses. Long
experience has shown that this is the only course which can
result in advantage, either to the teacher or scholar. The
Principal cannotbecome responsible for the improvement of
scholars unless they are so situated, that he can in some meas-
[ 10 ]
ure, direct their associations and employments, out of school
as welf as in it. The intercourse of the pupils with each
other, and with their teachers, will, on all occasions, be con-
formed with the usages of refined and educated society.
The government, both in the family of the Principal and the
School, will be strictly parental, aiming at the cultivation of
the conscience and the heart.
Parents and guardians will be furnished with a monthly
report exhibiting the scholarship and deportment of each
pupil.
ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT AND VACATIONS.
The Annual Commencement will hereafter uniformly oc-
cur on the last Friday of June, in each year. The closing
week will be occupied with a thorough examination of al
the classes, and will terminate with an Anniversary Address.
The Anniversary Address for the current year, will be de-
livered on the day of June, 1847, at 8 o'clock, P. M.
in the second Presbyterian Church. The Senior Class will
then receive such testimonials of scholarship, as are usually
conferred upon young ladies who complete the prescribed
course. The Principal Vacation begins immediately after
the commencement and continues until the first Monday in
September. The Academic Y
