Instruction is chiefly given by text-books by black-board analyses and free discussion of topics, supplemented by lectures and illustrations. In the higher classes notes and written abstracts are required. 11. DISCIPLINE. The students with the exception of a few day pupils form one college family, under care of the lady principal and matron. It is designed to preserve the pleasant associations of a true home, and cultivate such habits, manners and principles as will fit young women to make refined, happy christian homes, as the noblest sphere for which the Creator designed them. Students are treated with kindness and con fidence and are expected to practice habits of self-respect, politeness and conscientious principle in all things. This plan has been so successful that for a number of years no case of misconduct has called for special discipline, and yet a very high standard of good order has prevailed. 12. GRATUITOUS AID. The late Simeon Benjamin, whose gifts to the college during his life amounted to more than $50,000, left a legacy of $25,000, the income of which is appropriated in various sums to aid worthy and talented young women who need assistance. Also Gen. A. S. Diven, has endowed one free scholarship in the sum of $4,000, which pays for the board and tuition of one student. 13. DESCRIPTION AND VALUE OF BUILDINGS.
