General Remarks The Authorities of the Institution are happy to announce to the friends of

Female Education, that the permanent patronage for the year just closing has been considerably larger than that of any previous year of its history. This fact, evincing a high appreciation of their past labors, encourages them to hope for a future career of increased prosperity and usefulness. They are determined t o persevere in their exertions t o afford to young ladies every facility for acquiring a thorough, practical, and accomplished education.

Location The Founders of the Institution were very fortunate in their selection of

its location. I n the center of an enclosure of forty acres, just beyond the corporate limits of the town of Greensboro’, it combines the desirable seclu- sion of the country with all the facilities afforded by the town. The elevated

site, the ample grounds, and the total absence of local cause of sickness, greatly enhance the pleasantness and the healthfulness of the location.

Building The Building is very well arranged both for convenience and for comfort.

The pupils’ rooms, which are all furnished with fire-places, are large and capable of thorough ventilation. The chapel is ample, neat, and convenient, and peculiarly adapted either for public occasions or for the purposes of daily worship. The rooms devoted exclusively to musical practice are so situated that the sound of the instrument, causes no interruption to those engaed in other studies.” It is in contemplation to erect an additional building, and to improve the grounds, so as to render the place more pleasant and attractive, and to afford still greater facilities for educational purposes.

Boarding Department Those who have charge of this department have proved themselves well

qualified for their position, and entirely devoted to their duties. Every rea- sonable attention is given to the physical comfort of the young ladies, wheth- er in sickness or in health. The majority of the Faculty board with the pupils, all living as members of the same family, served at the same table, and worshiping at the same altar of prayer.

22 GEEENSBORO’ FEMALE COLLEGE.

Government Gobernment I n the government of the pupils, constant efforts are made to inculcate

correct ideas of morality and strict attention to duty, as essential elements of a good character. Each pupil is expected to be present a t every recitation

and to observe every rule of the school. Perfect punctuality and perfect propriety of deportment form the standard which the pupil is expected to strive to attain. Tri-weekly, each pupil makes to her section-teacher a report of her own delinquencies, and a record of this report is preserved. She is thus thrown upon her honor. At the same time all practicable means are adopted to cultivate principles of candor and veracity, and to develop the power of self-government.

No system of espionage is maintained

Standard of Scholarship

The Course of Study is sufficiently extensive, and is so arranged as to facilitate the pupils’ progress and to secure the discipline of the mental faculties. By

thorough and systematic instruction, we endeavor to avoid the evil conse- quences of habits of superficial study. We are continually laboring to elevate the standard of attainments in the Institution. I n order to this very especial attention is given to the elementary branches of education.

The Faculty earnestly recommend to parents having daughters preparing for College, to have them well trained in Spelling, Reading, Writing, Geo- graphy, Grammar, and Arithmetic. Applicants for admission, even into the advanced classes, are often found almost totally deficient in these essential studies.

Reports Reports of the scholarship, punctuality, and deportment of all the pupils

are sent to their parents or guardians at the end of every seventh week.- This is done for the purpose of giving to parents an accurate idea of the manner in which their daughters are spending their time in College. A want of candor in a matter of such importance we deem entirely inexcusable.

Apparatus To the valuable Chemical and Philosophical Apparatus with which the

College is already furnished, we intend during the approaching summer to make large and important additions. This will enable us to render the in- teresting Department of Experimental Sciences far more useful and attractive.


Literary Societies The two Literary Societies, the Sigourneyan and the Philomathesian are

The benefits derived from such Associations, pro- in successful operation. perly conducted, are acknowledged and felt by all.

The College Library now contains about eight hundred volumes; and measures have been taken for constantly increasing the number. The Museum seum is yet in its infancy; but though the collection is small, it embraces already several objects of considerable interest

The Trustees and Faculty mill highly appreciate any contribution of Books, Minerals, Fossils, etc., to the College Library or Cabinet.

The regular Exercises of the College are opened and closed daily with The young ladies are required to attend

once a t least, on the Sabbath and when the weather is inclement, Services are conducted in the College Chapel.

appropriate religious services,

Pupils are not permitted t o visit each other on the Sabbath; and i t is most earnestly desired that none be brought to the Institution or removed therefrom on this day. All the Classes have Recitations on the Bible every Sabbath morning.

Visits The young ladies boarding in the College are not permitted to visit families

i n town, unless their parents specially desire it, in which case the Institution will have no responsibility. They arc permitted to receive visits from none but near relatives, unless satisfactory evidence be furnished, by letter or otherwise, that their parents or guardians approve such visits.

Dress To prevent unnecessary expense and too much devotion to dress, a uniform

has been adopted. Mazarine blue merino for winter, with plain straw bon- nets trimmed in blue for summer, plain white jaconet. This uniform, which is worn only in public, is perhaps better provided a t the Institution. Young ladies should bring with them plain clothing for ordinary wear. No jewelry is allowed to be worn a t any time.


Contingent Expenses The young ladies are not allowed to make accounts in the-stores or else-

where, unless by the special direction of their parents; and then the Faculty will have no oversight and no responsibility. Parents can deposit in the hands of the President as much money as they choose to have their daughters spend. Purchases will be made by the teachers, and the directions of the parents strictly followed, thus placing in their hands the control o f their daughters’ contingent expenditures. The pupils will not be allowed to purchase jewelry, costly books, useless articles, or expensive presents. Every practicable method of reducing the expenses will be energetically pro prosecuted by the President. An important part of a young lady’s education is to know how to use money.

Any information tending to complete the Catalogue of Alumnae will be thankfully received.

Young ladies coming to the Institution should have their names distinctly marked on every article of clothing, and be provided with an umbrella and overshoes.
