the close of each session. The examination at the close of the second session, or Spring Term, is public.
Reports respecting the deportment, diligence and scholarship of
each student are sent to parents or guardians at the close of each
month.
Library.
T h e Sigourneyian Society, formed by the young ladies for their
mutual advancement in literature, have recently furnished their library room with a handsome collection of books, judiciously selected, and immediate steps will be taken to extend the collection.

The College Buildings.
T h e College Buildings are at a convenient distance from the
town of Greensborough to accommodate pupils (residing in the town)
in the various literary departments of the college but students residing in college will have little occasion to visit the town. T h e
visiting of stores unattended by some member of the Faculty, is expressly
pressly inhibited. T h e expenditures of the young ladies are therefore
fore entirely within the control of their parents and guardians and
the directions they may give on this subject shall be rigidly observed.
When a student is withdrawn from College on account of ill
12
health or family affliction, all moneys paid in advance will be refunded.
Terms and Vacations.
T h e college year is divided into two Terms or Sessions. T h e
first Term begins the second Monday in July, and ends the first
Thursday in December. T h e second Term begins the first Monday
day in January, and ends the first Thursday in June. It is of the
utmost importance that all the students of the College be present
in time to attend the first recitations of their respective classes, since
a n absence of a few days at the time when a new branch of study
is commenced, seldom fails to embarrass the whole course.
Health.
T h e College is situated on a high and healthy eminence, free
from any local source of disease. Since the Institution went into
operation the young ladies have enjoyed unusual health, the cases of
sickness which have occurred being comparatively few and not attributable
tributable to local causes.
