The Tenth A nnual Calendar of the University of Notre Dame du Lac, is sent forth to the parents and guardians of students now receiving their training in the Institution, and to the friends o f & liberal and Catholic education in the North-West, with many thanks for the large and generous patronage which the University has hitherto received, and in the indulgence of the well-grounded belief that, with each accruing year, the establishment will more and more strengthen its claims upon the favorable estimation of the public. Ten years only have elapsed since the Fathers of the Holy Cross first set foot upon the present site of the University,

„ then a wild and tangled forest, and began their labors for the dif­fusion of a Christian education in Northern Indiana. The success,

with which those labors have been rewarded, and the evidences o f Divine approbation and furtherance which the progress and pros­perity of their institutions have afforded, leave them no room to doubt that the future will exhibit the same ratio o f improvement and advancement as the past. I f they confidently anticipate for their schools a continually increasing share of public attention and consideration, they are but relying upon the Divine favor and benediction which they have thus far so perceptibly enjoyed.

Within the year past great additions and improvements have

been made both to the facilities for imparting instruction, and to the course of study itself. The College Library has received an accession of about" five hundred volumes, more than one-half of ■which were obtained by the Very Lev. President during a recent visit to Europe, and were selected under his own eye, with a spe­cial reference to the necessities of the institution. The philoso­phical apparatus, the already large collection of botanical speci­mens, and the mineralogical cabinet, have been very considerably increased. A course of study in logic and metaphysics has been inaugurated, under circumstances that promise a high degree of in­terest and efficiency to this important department of collegiate in­struction. The Commercial Course has been placed under the care of a gentleman who, for twenty years, has given his attention to the theory and practice of book-keeping, and who gives instruc­tions in conjunction with, and under the direction of the Yice-Pre- sident of the Institution, himself an accomplished book-keeper. The chair of Mathematics has been just accepted by J. O’Leary, Esq., long a mathematical instructor in the Royal College of May- nooth, in Ireland, and under whose faithful and able tuition, some of the first mathematical scholars in this country have been form­ed. The directors of the University cannot withhold an expression of satisfaction on account of so valuable an accession to the Facul­ty as that o f Professor O’Leary, nor fail to augur from it the most happy and beneficial results. A class in Elocution has been cre­ated, consisting of all the senior students, who declaim publicly in the presence of the students and Faculty, each evening immediate­ly after prayers, in the order of an alphabetical list, and are- pub­licly (criticised by the Professor of Eloquence. Yocal and Instru­mental Music continue to receive the same attention as heretofore. The gentleman in charge (Prof. GriRAc) of this department is al- ■ ready too well'known for his eminent musical ability and fidelity as. a teacher, to require special mention at this time. The French,.

9

German, Hebrew, and Arabic languages, along with the usual classical course in Latin and Greek, are taught by persons every way competent to ground the student thoroughly in the principles:

o f these tongues. In a word, in all the branches of a solid and liberal education, the Directors of the University have mainly in view the mastery by the student of pi'inciples. To this end, much reliance is placed upon those diagrams and illustrations which the teacher draws, as occasion requires, upon the black-board, and in which he appeals at once both to the ear and eye of the pupil. It is found that studies so simple and elementary as even Geography and English Grammar, can be surrounded with a singular attrac­tiveness and interest by the employment of this method of instruc­tion.

The number of students at the University never was so great as now; and numerous other indications of prosperity point to a fu­ture in which the Institution will have realised, and more than realised, all the most sanguine hopes of its friends.

■eeag-**—

The Female A cademy of St. Mary is located in the village of Bertrand, Mich., five miles north of the University of Notre Lame du. Lac, and four from the town of Niles. The buildings are neat and commodious, and the various branches of a polite and useful education are taught by French and American ladies of excellent accomplishments, who have embraced the occupation of instructing the young from religious motives. The number of students has been steadily increasing since the foundation of the Institute, and now includes the children of the most respectable persons, , both in the neighboring towns and in remote sections of the country. The ladies who conduct the school confidently appeal to the numerous friends of the Institution, whose children or wards were educated at the Academy, for testimony on behalf of the thoroughness^ and fidelity with which they execute the trusts committed to them. The various accomplishments— French, Music, and Drawing— are

taught by persons of acknowledged capability; while the more use­ful and solid branches receive a more than usual share of attention and care.

The lines o f rail-rOad stretching in every direction, and reticu­lating the face of the country in Southern Michigan and Northern Indiana, have rendered the Academy of St. Mary, as well as the University of Notre Dame du Lac, accessible from the most dis­tant regions of the Union. Bertrand is now within fifty-two hours’ journey of the City of New York, within a ride of three hours from Chicago, seven or eight from Detroit and Toledo, and twelve or fifteen from Cincinnati. These advantages, together with the high character of the education imparted by the good sisters, can­

not fail to secure for the Academy of St. Mary a large and aug­menting degree of patronage.
