CHAPEL HILL ACADEMY.
THE exercises of this institution will commence on the twentieth of June next, under the superintendence of the undersigned. The course of studies in this Academy will be (as usual) so arranged as to render it in every respect preparatory to the University. Elocution, pronunciation according to the rules of Prosody, Scanning and the derivation and composition of words will receive particular attention. Due regard will also be paid to those pursuing the lower branches of Education, and every exertion used to stimulate them to emulation. The moral conduct and good deportment of the pupils will receive special attention.
The local situation of the Academy must also afford advantages to those preparing for the University. The terms of Tuition will be as usual. The sessions and vacations will be regulated by those of the University.
