The Classical Course—is mainly intended for those who cannot attend college, but desire more than a
common academic training. It is complete in itself and offers superior advantages to those whose circumstances
will not permit a more extended course at college. This course is also recommended to those who desire a
thorough preparation for college, and, if completed only in part, a certificate will be given citing the facts in each
case. The full course requires 4 years, and upon completion a diploma of this course will be granted. All students
are urged to take the Classical Course. The Scientific Course—is the same as the Classical Course, except that it
does not require Greek, but substitutes for it studies in Science, Mathematics, and History. Greek may be
substituted for Latin. The Scientific Diploma will be given at the completion of this course, which also requires
4 years. The English Course—is intended for those who desire only English studies. To such it offers excellent
facilities for pursuing the higher branches of an English education. In the Spring term of each year, classes are
organized to accommodate those who desire to teach. To complete this course, 3 years are required, when the
proper diploma is granted.
Preparatory Course—The Preparatory Department not only fits students for the Institute proper, but aims
to meet the real wants of the public. Instruction is given in the most elementary branches, and, in addition to the
benefit derived from the association with older students, pupils are continually urged to higher attainments.
Department of Music—The study of music is becoming more important and necessary every day, and no
education is complete without some knowledge of it. We give special attention to this department, and can offer
thorough instruction and careful training at low rates to those desiring instrumental music, whether upon the organ
or piano. A good piano and organ belong to the Institute, for the use of those taking instrumental music. Vocal
music is also thoroughly taught.
Boarding—All non-resident students board in the Institute under the immediate care of the Principal and
lady Principal, on what is known as the co-operative plan, at a cost not exceeding $5.00 per month for the past
year. Government—The government is mild but firm. The requirements are plain and positive, and strict
compliance is expected. The great principles of morality and the Christian religion are constantly set before the
pupils as the rule of life. It is our constant aim to make students feel at home, and parents to know that their sons
and daughters are cared for. Those who remain here during the Winter and Spring vacations will be under the
direction of the Principal. Literary Societies—There are two Literary Societies connected with the Institute, of
69 The 69 students included just 2 in music only; of the remaining 67, 4 were in classical, 18 in scientific, 28 in English,
and 17 in primary English. Enrollment in music offerings included 22 in instrumental music, 28 in vocal music, and 5 in
harmony and theory classes.
