T., Courses olj IjStufly The courses of study are the Liberal, the College Preparatory, and the Scientific. The Liberal is designed for those who are fitting themselves for business life, and wish to complete their school studies at the Institute. The College Preparatory embraces the studies requisite for admission to the best colleges. The Scientific includes the studies necessary to enter the Scientific or Medi¬ cal schools, the United States Military Academy at West Point, or the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Pupils not prepared to begin any of these courses, are carefully trained in Preparatory studies, or branches in which they are deficient. The student’s advancement depends upon his thoroughness.

Bordentown, the seat of the Institute, is a beautiful city of six thousand in¬ habitants, on the Delaware river. It is one hour and a half by rail from New York, forty-five minutes from Philadelphia, and only ten from Trenton, the Capital of the State. The Camden route of the Pennsylvania Railroad, con¬ necting these cities, passes through Bordentown, and by its numerous trains affords convenient access. A steamer, also, plies daily between Bordentown and Philadelphia. GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS. The Institute grounds, located on Park street, comprise five acres, a part of which is a charming forest. They were originally a part of the great park, of historic interest, laid out and formerly occupied by Joseph Bonaparte, ex-King of Naples and of Spain. Across the street still remains a large portion of that park, bearing evidences of its former beauty. On the same street are the anti¬ quated buildings of Madame Murat’s boarding school, and the house of Francis Hopkinson, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Borden¬ town is also the seat of Bordentown Female College, a very flourishing insti¬ tution for young ladies. Its location is one of the finest in the state. The In¬ stitute is only five minutes’ walk from the depot, post office, telegraph office, bank, and churches, yet virtually retired. The building, so desirably placed, has comfortable room for sixty boarding and forty day pupils. The building is 36x100, and is four stories high, built of brick, heated by furnaces, and sup¬ plied with gas and hydrant water. Improved a year ago, it is now the most imposing edifice in the city. MILITARY INSTRUCTION. For promoting a vigorous physical development, and, at the same time, to train to an erect and graceful carriage, and cultivate habits of promptness and obedience, all cadets participate in regular drills of the U. S. Tactics. Its beneficial effects are marked. It is not the design to make soldiers, but to accomplish what is stated above. The “Guard House” and other harsh modes of punishment for violation of rules are not resorted to. Young men are treated as gentlemen until they prove themselves to be otherwise. 16 BORDENTOWN MILITARY INSTITUTE. The State of New Jersey has provided arms and equipments for the use of the Institute. This department will, for the coming year, be under the direction of Col. Wm. E. Murphy, late Col. of the 10th Regt. N. J. Yols. LECTURES. Besides the Scientific Lectures given weekly in the Institute, arrangements are made for a popular course in the city each winter. This course is free to the students. LITERARY SOCIETY. A voluntary Literary Society is sustained by the pupils for improvement in composition and extemporaneous speaking, and practice in conducting public meetings. A teacher gives such instruction as is needed, but the meetings are conducted by the cadets. READING ROOM. In the Reading Eoom, pupils have access to daily and weekly papers and magazines, that they may inform themselves concerning current events, and cultivate a desire for knowledge of the world’s progress. DRAWING. The Mechanical and Architectural Drawing taught is of a practical charac¬ ter, and trains the eye to view objects critically, and the hand to execute neatly and skillfully. Whatever business or profession a young man may choose, such study will prove to be of enduring value to him. RELIGIOUS WORSHIP. The school is Christian but not denominational. The pupils assemble daily for the reading of the Scriptures and for prayer. On the Sabbath they attend church in the morning, and a Sabbath-school at the Institute in the afternoon. Visiting the pupils on the Sabbath, except by parents or guardians, is not permitted. OUTFIT. Each student will bring his Bible, and should also have a dictionary. He is required to furnish table napkins, napkin ring, fork, teaspoon, dessertspoon, towels, toilet articles, clothes bag, bed linen and blanket. He should also be provided with an umbrella and overshoes. Every article belonging to stu¬ dents should be marked with their full name. Articles unmarked with the student’s name will not be received at the laundry. BORDENTOWN MILITARY INSTITUTE. 17 The cadet suits are of dark blue broadcloth with suitable trimmings. They lire very serviceable, and neat for all dress occasions. They are made to order find furnished to pupils at wholesale rates. No other suits need be provided. Except on special occasions, ordinary suits may be worn if the student jprefers. VACATION. ' As the resident Principal makes the Institute his home, pupils may remain during the summer vacation and receive board and care and also instruction if desired. The Institute and its surroundings constitute a very enjoyable place for boys, and some make it their home for the entire year. CALENDAR FOR 1884-85.
