This Institution being in its infancy and no distinctions made, the names of the students are not given. The Trustees were highly gratified with the performances of the school in general, and cannot refrain from expressing their particular approbation of the young Gentlemen composing the Caesar and Virgil classes and the Greek classes: they have done credit to themselves, and to the unremitted attention of their Teacher.
The Trustees take this opportunity to express their unqualified approbation of their Teacher, Mr. John D. Tate, a young gentleman, whose moral deportment, talents and acquirements, eminently fit him for the instruction of youth, and would do credit to any institution.
The exercises of the Academy will re-commence on Monday 3d July next. Board can be obtained in respectable private houses, at Thirty Dollars the Session; Tuition Eight Dollars for the lower branches, and Ten for the higher.
