are the unsolicited testimonials received on this point. Special attention is given to the

MODERN LANGUAGES:

French, Spanish, and German form an important part of the course of study, and are taught as spoken
languages by well qualified masters. The

ENGLISH LANGUAGE,-

also, in its elements, as well as in its higher departments, receives more than ordinary notice, and is
