GREENSBORO’ FEMALE COLLEGE
ENTRANCE
The scholastic year for 1852-3 will commence on the 15th day of July. The classes are then formed, and rooms and roommates selected, it is exceedingly desirable that pupils should enter at this time, as the delay of a few weeks may retard their advancement several months.
Parents having daughters fitting for College, will do well to see that they are thoroughly trained upon Spelling, Reading, Writing, Geography, and Arithmetic. Time spent upon the more advanced studies is frequently almost lost, as the course of instruction is such in the Institution, that in most cases they must be reviewed, and in many studied over altogether. We earnestly beg teachers of Preparatory schools to devote very particular attention to Spelling and Arithmetic; in the latter, drilling the pupils most thoroughly in the elementary rules, and in Fractions.
It is expected that the parents of every pupil entering the Institution, will have full confidence in the capability of the Faculty to direct her studies, and that she will be submitted entirely to the control of her teachers in this particular.
No pupil ought to be brought in to the Institute under fourteen years of age. All our plans are for older girls, and when those who are young and untrained enter the College, it is a hindrance to us and an injury to them.
COURSE OF INSTRUCTION
The following list of subjects embraces the course of study pursued in the Institution. Each pupil is required to have three regular studies always on hand. Her advancement in every case will depend entirely upon the proficiency she may make in each study. Diplomas will be conferred upon such young ladies as may stand an approved examination upon the studies of our regular course and upon one Ancient or Modern Language; provided they shall have been members of this Institution for at least one scholastic year.
It will be perceived that the time a young lady’s graduation will be fixed by her natural ability, her previous preparation, and her application to study.

RESIDENT GRADUATES
Those young ladies who have received a diploma from this College, and who retain or resume their connection with the Institution, in any of its departments, are styled Resident Graduates. There are several studies which may be very profitably pursued by our graduates in addition to the superior advantages offered in the Department of the Fine Arts.
REPORTS
A Report of the scholarship, punctuality, and deportment of each pupil, is sent to her parent or guardian at the end of every seventh week.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
There are two Literary Societies in College, each possessing the beginning of a library, to which additions will be made each year.
APPARATUS
It is expected soon to make a very considerable addition to the apparatus in the department of the Natural Sciences.
DISCIPLINE
Each pupil is expected to be present at every recitation, and to observe every rule of the school. Perfect punctuality, and perfect propriety of deportment, form the standard which the pupil is expected to strive to attain. There is no system of espionage maintained. Once a week each pupil makes a report of her own delinquencies, in the presence of all Faculty and pupils assembled, and a record of these reports is preserved. They are thus thrown upon their honor. At the same every effort is made to cultivate in them principles of candor and veracity, and to develop in them the power of self-government.
THE SABBATH
Pupils are not permitted to visit each other on the Sabbath, and it is most earnestly desired that none be brought to the Institution or removed therefrom on this day. Friends of the young ladies who visit them then, inflict a most serious injury. All the classes have weekly recitations on the Bible, and subjects connected therewith.
VISITS
The young ladies boarding in the College are permitted to receive visits from no one but their nearest relatives, unless in the presence of some member of Faculty, nor are they permitted to visit families in town unless their parents specifically desire it, in which case the Institution will have no responsibility.
DRESS
To prevent unnecessary expense, and loss of time in devotion to dress, a uniform has been adopted:--Masarine blue worsted for winter, and plain white jackonet for summer. This uniform is perhaps better provided at the Institution. Young ladies may bring with them any plain clothing for ordinary wear. Silks, Swiss, gay patterns, flounces and jewelry, will be useless, and should be left at home. No jewelry is allowed to be worn at any time.
EXPENSES
Board, and Tuition in all English branches, a session,.....................................................$ 60.00
Fuel, Lights, Washing, Room-rent, servants’ attendance, a month,……………………………….. 2.00
Incidental tax for repairs, a session, ………………………………………………………………………….. 1.00
EXTRAS
Music, on the Piano or Guitar, a session,…………………………………………………………………….. 20.00
Use of the Instrument, ……………………………………………………………………………………………… 2.50
Drawing, …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 5.00
Studies in Heads, Crayon and Pastille, ………………………………………………………………………… 10.00
Oil Painting, ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 20.00

Vocal Music, ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 3.00
Day-scholars for fuel, ………………………………………………………………………………………………… 2.00
Graduating Fee, …………………………………………………………………………………………… 5.00
The regular fees are to be paid one-half in advance, and one-half, together with the bills for books, charges for extra studies, &c., at the close of the session, or interest in all cases to be charged.
No pupil is to be admitted for less than a session, unless one-half shall have expired before her entrance, and then she is to be charges from the first day of the month in which she entered. No deduction is made for absence, except in cases of illness. Former pupils returning after the opening of the session, to be charged for the whole session, if carried through with their classes.
It will be perceived that in the schedule of charges, the Board of Trustees insert two additional items. The one is a charge of $2 a month for Fuel, Lights, Washing, Room-rent, servants’ attendance. These have hitherto been furnished for nothing. It is believed that every patron of the Institution will acquiesce in this charge when he considers the following statements. (1.) The College is in debt and can afford to give nothing until relieved of its embarrassments. (2.) The public works advancing in our neighborhood have raised the price of provisions, fuel, and servants. (3.) No other Institution , affording equal advantages, has so low a scale of charges. (4.) An accurate account of expenditures and receipts in the Boarding Department shows that, at the present prices, the College must lose several hundreds of dollars annually. (5.) No parent would desire to have anything plainer than now afforded. There is no direction in which we can economize in this department, and do justice to our pupils. (6.) But arrangements have been made to curtail the expenditures of the pupils in other matters, so that the Faculty of the College feel quite sure that the total cost of keeping a young lady at the Institution hereafter will be less than heretofore, notwithstanding the necessary slight increase in the College charges.
EXPENDITURES
Parents deposit in the hands of the President of the College as much money as they choose to have their daughters spend. Purchases will be made by the teachers, and the directions of parents will be strictly followed, except where parents allow their daughters to open accounts, and then the Faculty will have no oversight and no responsibility. The pupils will not be allowed hereafter to purchase jewelry, costly books, useless articles, and expensive presents. Every practicable method of reducing the expenses will be energetically prosecuted by the Faculty. An important part of a young lady’s education is to know how to use money. As much attention as possible will be given to this department.
