A. HART PRINCIPAL OXFORD MALE ACADEMY, 1838.
THE prominent advantages of this Institution, render it peculiarly deserving the notice of Parents and Guardians.
Oxford is surpassed by no village in the South in its healthfulness, pleasant location, good society, and freedom from dissipation.
The Principal, Mr. A. HART, is a gentleman of considerable attainments in classical and scientific knowledge, acquired in England, Italy and France. He is not only well versed in the Greek and Latin Classics, but familiar with Modern Languages and all the numerous branches of Physical, Mathematical, Moral and Intellectual Science.
In training the Students to respect their Teachers, their companions and themselves, strict regard will be had to inculcate virtuous principles, honorable feelings and gentlemanly conduct. The government will be parental rather than severe; and the Students' minds directed to habits of industry, accurate observation and deep enquiry.
Mr. T. HIGGINS, a graduate of an European College, and an excellent classical scholar, is engaged for the ensuing year to instruct the junior classes.
Classical Students will be prepared to enter the Freshman or Sophomore class, agreeably to the course of studies prescribed by the University of the State. Terms, Classical Students $15.00, English, from $6.00 to $15.00 per session.
