Mount Pleasant Military Academy

OSSINING, N. Y.

HIS Academy was established in 1814 to provide in Sing Sing (now Ossining) a school of the best order, where young men might be prepared for College and University, or for active business life. It has always maintained a high standard calculated to elevate character and manliness and has enjoyed continuous prosperity and popularity.

The location of the school is at one of the most beautiful spots on the banks of the scenic Hudson. The buildings are the Junior Hall (stone) erected 1832; the brick building called Senior Hall, built 1864, and the more recently erected Library Building, Drill Hall and Gymnasium. All are commodious and well appointed and are excellent in sanitary equipment and condition. There are also new and modern Sick-Rooms, isolated from the rest of the School, built in 1899, and a Senior Cottage, opened in 1899.

The School only invites as pupils boys of correct morals, and the idle and unruly are not permitted to remain. A high tone and fiine spirit characterize the school, its discipline is firm, but kindly, its military training developes physical health and strength, neatness, obedience, order, punctuality, system and self-control, an erect and graceful carriage, and gentlemanly manners. The Home Life is that of a pleasant, Christain home, with training in correct social usages. The Lower School covers two years, intended to prepare younger boys for the Upper School. The Upper School covers four years and is designed especially to prepare boys for entrance into the most advanced colleges and technical schools. Its scholastic record is exceptionally excellent; its graduates honor it by successful careers in the best colleges and in after life.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY

ORNELL UNIVERSITY was founded in 1865 by the combined bounty of the National Government and of Ezra Cornell. Its policy has always been shaped by Mr. Cornell's happy phrase, "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study." It has been especially fortunate in the rich personality, varied intellectual interests, and wide culture of the benefactors, presidents, and teachers who have shaped its life.

The property of the University is now about $11,000,000, mainly derived from an investment in Western timber lands conceived by Ezra Cornell and carried out by him and by Hon. Henry W. Sage. Ezra Cornell's own gifts amounted to $750,000, Henry W. Sage's to $1,250,000 and John McGraw, Hiram Sibley, Andrew D. White, Hiram W. Sibley, Dean Sage, A. S. Barnes, William H. Sage, Oliver H. Payne, and John D. Rockefeller have made gifts ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000.

The whole number of teachers in the University for 1900-1901 was 366, the total registration 3,073, of whom about 1,750 are from New York State, and 1,350 from 41 other states and territories in this country, and twenty foreign countries, representing every continent on the globe. More than 6,000 degrees have been granted by the University to its graduates.

The University library comprises about 250,000 volumes, and is endowed with book funds in excess of $300,000. The average annual growth of the library is in excess of 13,000 volumes.

Located on a bluff 300 feet high, looking for twenty miles down the windings of Lake Cayuga, and with grounds comprising 270 acres, Cornell has long been reputed the most picturesquely located University in the World.

Cornell University now comprises the following colleges and departments:

The University Preparatory School

FOUNDED 1892

ITHACA, N. Y.

INCORPORATED 1895

IN its origin especially designed as a boys' fitting school for Cornell University.
The curriculum has been broadened so as to fit for any college. It is especially
adapted to the needs of those who have been attending High Schools and Acade-
mies where the curricula are not sufficiently comprehensive to meet the requirements
of College entrance examinations; or those who have not been in attendance at any
school for a considerable time and now wish a thorough and rapid preparation for
College.

The system is so arranged that a pupil is never retarded by the slow progress of
classmates, nor is he permitted to retard others. All branches found in the College
requirements are included in the curriculum.

There are Day and Boarding Departments. The home life is comfortable and attractive, with full provision for recreation as well as for study.

The record of the School is such that, for the past five years, students holding its certificates have been admitted to the University without further examination, except a partial examination in English, from which no one is exempt.

There are Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer terms. The latter, extending from July to September, is especially adapted to those needing only a short finishing course previous to entering the University, or who have conditions to make up, or are preparing for competitive examinations for Cornell Freshman Scholarships.

The ample corps of instructors is composed entirely of Cornell graduates.

ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL

TH

CONCORD, N. H.=

HIS School, conducted under Episcopalian auspices, and designed to prepare boys for the Freshman Class in University or College, was established and incorporated in 1855. The founder was George Cheyne Shattuck, M. D., and the first rector was Rev. Henry Augustus Coit, M. A. The school opened in 1856, with three boys, eight others coming during the year. There has been a steady growth in attendance, and the School Roll of 1900 showed 348 students, with 37 masters. The grant by Dr. Shattuck was originally fifty-five and one-third acres, and additions have been made, by purchase and building, until it now embraces 1,000 acres and 57 buildings.

Rev. Joseph Howland Coit, D. D., LL. D., who was Vice-Rector from March 2, 1865, has been Rector of the School since the death of his brother, the first Rector, February 5, 1895. Another brother, James Milnor Coit, Ph. D., is Clerk of the corporation and Natural Science Master, and Joseph Howland Coit, Jr., son of the first Rector, is also a Master in the School.

The School is divided into six Forms, of which the sixth is the highest; and there
is also an Upper Remove, for the preparation of advanced subjects, or to make up
deficiencies in previous work.

St. Paul's School has long occupied a position of unique distinction among
American Preparatory Schools.

INDIANAPOLIS
INDIANA

TWENTIETH YEAR WILL OPEN SEPTEMBER 18th, 1901

TWENTY-TWO INSTRUCTORS

Complete laboratory equipment for most modern work in the Sciences. The School has a Department of Household Science with finely equipped practice kitchen. Much attention to Physical Culture. Large, completely furnished Gymnasium. Much emphasis placed upon individual work, on development of character, health, morals, manners and general culture.

Handsome accommodations for boarding pupils in a residence separate from the School

S

TANLEY HALL'S initial opening in September, 1890, has been succeeded by a steady growth until it has gained a place of unique distinction among the educational institutions of the Northwest. The seventh year the school opened in new buildings, one for the Home, and one for school purposes, both admirably adapted to their respective uses: They are located in one of the most delightful residence portions of Minneapolis, a beautiful American city, and a center of education and culture for a

large portion of the Northwest.

Departments for work in all grades are included in the curriculm, and the work conforms to the best modern scholastic standards. Graduates of the four years' academic courses are prepared to enter the best colleges for women of the East, upon certificates from the school. To those not desiring to go so far from home, Stanley Hall offers two years of college work corresponding to the Freshman and Sophomore work of such colleges as Smith, Wellesley and Vassar. Besides the straight preparatory work for college, superior instruction in art and music is given. For the physical development of girls studying so hard, a well-equipped gymnasium with a thoroughly trained instructor, and fine facilities for outside games are furnished. Thus, with proper exercise, sustained mental work is possible.

It is the purpose of the school, that, with the physical and mental training so carefully given, each girl who enters the school shall also grow stronger in character, and take her place in the world a potent factor in its upbuilding.
