EXAMINATION, 1822.
The semi-annual examination of the male and female students of this institution commenced on Tuesday, the 11th. inst. and closed on Friday, the 14th. In the female department it was, as usual, interesting and satisfactory, in both the literary and ornamental branches. In the male, a large number of students were examined on reading, writing, arithmetic, English grammar, geography, the Latin and Greek languages, mathematics, &c. &c. Their accuracy and proficiency were unexampled in this institution.
Miss Mitchel and Miss Slater being about to return to the north, both departments will hereafter come under the immediate management of the Rev. Dr. Freeman, aided by a suitable usher.
In taking leave of these ladies, the Trustees return them their warmest thanks for the assiduous attention they have bestowed upon the interests of the pupils entrusted to their care, and acknowedge the high estimation in which they hold their qualifications and uniformly correct and exemplary deportment. It would be superfluous, at this period, to speak of the established reputation of Dr. Freeman, as a scholar and a gentleman.
The next Session will commence on the 2d Monday in July.
