CALDWELL INSTITUTE, 1837.
This Institution, located at Greensboro', Guilford County, North Carolina, will resume its Exercises on the first Monday in November.

The Trustees, believing that this School is now so far organized as to accomplish, in a great degree, the design contemplated in its establishment, would more particularly call the attention of Parents, especially Christian Parents, to it. This design, as has been already stated to the public, is to rear up a Seminary, which shall not only afford the means of thorough instruction in all the necessary branches of a liberal Education, but in which, also, the Bible will occupy its proper place, and the paramount claims of a Christian Education be duly and fully recognized.

The Ancient Classics, in connection with the pure and mixed Mathematics, forming, it is believed, the only sure basis of solid learning, will occupy chiefly the attention of Students. The Classical department is under the direction of Rev. A. Wilson, Principal, and S. C. Lindsley, A. M.; and the Mathematical, (which embraces a popular course of Natural Philosophy) under that of Rev. John A. Gretter.

All the Students are required to attend Public Worship on the Sabbath, and to spend a portion of the afternoon in the recitation of portions of the Bible and Westminster Catachism.

Expenses.
Tuition, per session of 5 months............$15.00      $15.00
Board, (everything provided) from......... 30.00 to   50.00
Contingent   Fund,........................00.50        00.50
Total from..........................$45.50 to $65.50

Besides these expenses, there are others incurred for Books, which are trivial.
Students may enter at any period in the session, and will be charged only from the time of entrance; but no deduction will be made after entrance, except in cases of sickness. Tuition must, in all cases, be paid in advance.

There are two vacations in the year, of one month each—in April and October; and a Public Examination at the close of each session.

By order of the Board,
Greensboro', Oct. 16, 1837.                       E. W. Caruthers, Secy,

Raleigh Register, October 28,1837
