TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS.
THE subscriber having been unexpectedly appointed a Professor in the University, finds it necessary to make some alteration in his advertisement to the public. Though he will be unable to take any share in the teaching of the pupils, yet the Trustees have continued him in the office of joint Manager of the school with Mr. Rogers. He will therefore still hold himself responsible for the qualifications of the person who may act in his place, and by the vicinity of the Academy to the University, will be enabled to lend his advice and assistance in the adopting and maintaining of such a system of studies and discipline, as will fulfill the expectations of parents. The increased requisitions for entering College, make it more than ever necessary that all our Grammar Schools should be put on the best possible footing for securing correctness and soundness of scholarship.
