HILLSBOROUGH ACADEMY.
AT the late Examination of the Students of the Hillsborough Academy, held in presence of the Faculty of the University of this State, fifteen young Gentlemen were approved on the studies preparatory to the Freshman Class, and six for the Sophomore.
The Exercises of the Academy will be resumed on the last Monday in the present month.
The subscriber has engaged the assistance of a Gentleman, who has taught for several years in one of the most distinguished classical seminaries in Maryland.
Idle, dissolute, and profane young men, who may think of resorting to this Institution, are hereby forewarned, that neither at the Academy, nor in the town, will immorality meet with the least countenance.
Exclusive of the time allotted for recitation, regular hours for studying at the Academy, under the inspection of the Teachers, are prescribed, morning and evening; so that the time usually mis-spent by Students at their lodgings will be here usefully employed.
June 16. John Rogers, Principal.
