LOCATION.


This Seminary is located at TILTON, N. H., on the Boston, Con- cord and Montreal Railroad, eighteen miles north of Concord, and thirty miles south of Plymouth. It is distant four miles from Franklin, on the Northern Railroad, to which place a coach runs twice each day. It is in the central part of the State, easy of access, and less than four hours distant from Boston.


ADMISSION.


All candidates for admission are expected to be prepared to give satisfactory evidence of good moral character. Students who desire to enter any of the regular graduating courses are examined in the studies preparatory to the course. Candidates for advanced standing are examined in the studies that have been pursued by the class which they propose to enter, or others equivalent to them. Students are not passed from term to term except after an exami- nation before a committee and by vote of the Faculty.


Those who do not desire to complete a regular course can join such classes as are adapted to their attainments. Special classes are always formed for their accommodation when there is a suf- ficient call.


COURSES OF STUDY.


There are six regularly established courses of study : the Class- ical, Belles- Lettres, Collegiate Preparatory, English Scientific, Commercial, and Music. Diplomas are awarded to students com- pleting either course. Instruction is also given in Methods of Teaching, Drawing and Painting, Penmanship, Theology and El- ocution.


The Classical Department of the Female College


Is designed to afford young ladies a thorough, systematic, and lib- eral education, and extends over four years.


20


New-Hampshire Conference Seminary.


The Belles-Lettres Department


Omits the Latin, and can be completed in three years.


The Institution being a Chartered College is authorized to con- fer Degrees on ladies completing either of the above courses.


The Collegiate Preparatory Department.


By recent vote of the Trustees, the requirements in this course have been increased, and pupils will be thoroughly prepared for any New England College or University.


The English Scientific Department


Is designed for young men who do not desire to pursue the class- ics, and it prepares for general business vocations.


The Commercial Department


Furnishes a thorough course of instruction in Book-keeping, in ad- dition to the common English branches. Persons having a good common school education can finish the course in one year. In a single term, it is designed to impart such a knowledge of Book- keeping-single and double entry-as to meet the wants of most who pursue this study. For those who desire to prosecute the special study of Book-keeping still farther, provision is made for two additional terms of study, in which the whole subject is thoroughly canvassed as it relates to larger business houses and to banking. Commercial calculations, business rules, and commer- cial law constitute an essential part of the last two terms of the course.


The Department of Music


Affords superior facilities to those who desire thorough instruction and practice in Instrumental and Vocal Music. · The Professor in charge, has had a thorough musical education, and nine years suc- cessful experience in teaching. The course embraces three years, and diplomas are awarded to those who satisfactorily complete it. The pupils are furnished with good pianos for practice. -


The Ornamental Department


Is in charge of an accomplished Artist. Superior instruction is afforded in all the branches ; and ample facilities offered in Geo- metrical, Free-hand and Perspective Drawing, so frequently required of teachers in our common schools.


21


New-Hampshire Conference Seminary.


PENMANSHIP


Is taught by one who has made it a specialty for twenty-seven years.


NORMAL.


Instruction will be given in Methods of Teaching whenever a sufficient number desire a class.


A Theological Class


Is formed every term, and rudimentary instruction is given in Theology and such other studies and exercises as will aid minis- terial candidates in forming their first habits of critical Scripture study and speaking, as well as in all their future professional stud- ies, in or out of schools. But the class is in no sense a substitute for Collegiate, or more extended Theological learning.


ELOCUTION.


A class in Vocal and Physical Culture, under the care of the President, meets four times a week. Prof. Butterfield visits the school each term to give special instruction to those who desire.


The Ladd Professorship.


N. G. LADD, M. D., of Malden, Mass., has made a generous bequest of ten thousand dollars, as the foundation of a chair of Social, Moral and Biblical Learning. Awaiting the availibility of this gift, the New Hampshire Conference has united with the Trustees to assist in maintaining this chair. The President, who fills this Professorship, gives daily instruction in manners, morals, business habits, health, current events, and the formation of char- acter. A Scripture lesson is read every day and briefly discussed by the whole school.


Rhetorical Exercises.


Five compositions and five declamations are required per term of each student. Persons can join the public or private classes as they prefer.


The Government


Aims to be as near after the model of a well regulated family as is possible in a Boarding-School. All the boarding pupils are under the immediate and personal care of the Faculty, and those who room elsewhere are held strictly amenable to the laws of the


22


New-Hampshire Conference Seminary.


school. All the prohibitions and requirements usually found in a well regulated institution of learning are enforced. Persons who have not sufficient self-control or self-respect to enable them to conform to the usages of good society, the principles of right, or necessary prudential regulations, are not desired as students.


Literary Societies.


There are two well conducted Literary Societies for gentlemen : the "V. A. S.", and the "United Panoplian"; and in the Female College one for ladies : the "Ladies' Literary". There is also a so- ciety, the "Callilogean", where both ladies and gentlemen mee under the supervision of some one or more of the Faculty. All meetings of the Literary Societies and all public exercises of the students are subject to the control of the President. No Society is allowed to hold its meetings oftener than once in two weeks, nor to continue its sessions later than half past nine o'clock, P. M.


LIBRARY.


The Library affords scientific, historic, poetic, governmental and popular reading matter, and is accessible to all members of the In- stitution, free of charge. Contributions in money or books are respectfully solicited.


Reading Room.


The Reading room, to which students have free and daily ac- cess, is liberally supplied with literary, political and religious newspapers and periodicals, and affords an opportunity for am- ple information upon the current news and literature of the day.


Special thanks are due several parties and publishers who have kindly contributed to our Reading Room without expense to us.


Prescott Cabinet.


The Institution has a large, valuable and beautifully arranged Cabinet of Shells, Minerals and Fossils, together with various other specimens appropriate to the illustration of Geology, and Natural History ; also, Globes for Astronomy and Geography, and a Skeleton and Charts for Physiology.

PRIZES.


Through the kindness of friends, four prizes are offered this year.


A prize will be awarded to that lady who shall excel in Declama- tion.


A prize will be awarded to that gentleman who shall excel in Declamation.


The contest for these two will take place at the close of the Fall Term.


A prize will be awarded to that person who shall pass the best written examination in the Latin language.


A prize will be awarded to that person who shall pass the best written examination in the Greek language.


SCHOLARSHIPS.


The Class of 1876 has entered into a compact to establish a scholarship to admit some meritorious person free of charge. They have placed on interest a handsome sum for that purpose, and will increase it to the requisite amount. It is hoped that other classes will follow their example.
