GENERAL ARRANGEMENT.
ACADEMIC COURSE.
The arrangement of the course of study above, is adopted
in order to furnish a systematic course of instruction, and ac¬
commodate those who may wish to acquire an education more
thorough and complete, than can be obtained without it. This
course, however, will not diminish the advantages of those who
may enter for a shorter time, but give them greater facilities,
since the greater number and variety of studies will be pursued
at the same time. Those students who complete the course of
study named above, satisfactorily to their instructors, will be
entitled to a Diploma or certificate of the same.
TERMS OF ADMISSION.
Scholars are admitted at any time; but any one proposing
to enter should endeavor, not only for the convenience of clas¬
sification, but especially for his own interest and improvement,
to be present at the commencement of the term. Those who
enter a few days even, after the commencement of the school,
often suffer an embarrassment through the session. No allow¬
ance will be made for absence, except in cases of sickness.
BOARDING.
Boarding, including fuel, lights, room and washing, can be
had in good families, from one dollar and fifty cents ($1 50)
to two dollars ($2 00) per week.
Young men who would feel disposed to board a short distance
in the country, can be accommodated, for one dollar and twen¬
ty-five cents ($1 25) per week.
TERMS AND VACATIONS.
The Academic year will consist of one session of ten months,
commencing on - Wednesday, the 6th day of September, and
ending on the fourth Tuesday of June.
At the close of the session, there will be a public Examina¬
tion of all the Pupils in attendance.

BUILDING AND LOCATION.
The buildings are spacious and elegant, and amply sufficient
to accommodate all who may apply. They are situated on a
beautiful eminence at the West end of the town, in full view
of the great thoroughfare to the Western country, and command
a view of the beautiful and picturesque scenery, in the midst I
of which it is situated, that is at once calculated to fill the j
mind of the beholder with pleasure and delight. j
The Buildings are immediately surrounded by a plat of !
ground, which, from its size and situation, gives ample room j
for exercise, which is so necessary for the promotion of health i
among students. S
llogersville, the location of the School, is pleasantly situated j
in the midst of a fertile valley, which is accessible from all j
points. It is well supplied with wholesome water and pure air i
from the surrounding mountains. It is renowned for health— !
having never been visited by any of those epidemics which j
have proved so fatal in other communities. A case of fever !
has never been known to originate in the place. !
The community is moral, temperate, intelligent and enter- I !
prising, and'singularly free from temptations of a vicious and j !
demoralizing nature. There are neither gambling establish- j
ments to lead the youth astray, nor tippling-shops where spirit- j
uous liquors are sold. These are the bane of all communities
where they exist; but Parents and Guardians sending their
sons and. wards to this place, need have no fears on this ac¬
count.
As an additional inducement to parents,, the thorough in¬
struction of Young Ladies at the Odd Fellows' Female Colle¬
giate Institute, with the advantages offered by this Academy,
in having their sons and daughters in the same vicinity, gives
llogersville very strong claims on their attention.
