Announcement by Alden Partridge of the opening of the National Scientific and Military College, at Brandywine Springs, Delaware. Includes a general description of the system of education and course of study offered at the school. ; THE NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC AND MILITARY COLLEGE, At the Brandywine Springs, Delaware. THE public is respectfully informed, that the above Institution was opened for the reception of Students, on the 16th of May, 1853, under the personal superintendence of Capt. ALDEN PARTRIDGE, assisted by an able corps of In-structors. The instruction embraces a complete course of Literary, Scientific and Military Education. The Mathe-matics, both theoretical and practical, Civil and Military Engineering, Physical Philosophy, Astronomy, Geography, History, Mental and Moral Philosophy, the Laws of Nations, the Science of Government, the Constitution of the United States, Political Economy, Agriculture, Rhetoric, Sound Literature, the several branches of Military Science, &c., &c., constitute prominent branches of Instruction. The Military Exercises and Duties are so arranged as not to occupy any of the time that would otherwise be de-voted to study; they will be attended to at those hours of the day which are generally passed by students in idleness, or devoted to useless amusements, for which they are made a pleasing and healthful substitute. Practical scientifical operations will be frequently attended to, which conduce equally to health and improvement. The charge for Board, Tuition, Room-rent, Washing, Lights and Fuel, will be 41 dollars per quarter of 11 weeks; or 164 dollars for the Collegiate year of 44 weeks. The French, Spanish, German, and Italian Languages, and also Music and Fencing, are extra branches; for each of which, those who attend to them will be charged Five Dollars per quarter. Instruction in writing will be charged $1,25 for 14 Lessons. The Latin and Greek Languages will be taught to those who may wish to study them. The qualifications for admission are a good moral character; to write a fair, legible hand; a good knowledge of the ground Rules of Arithmetic; and to read and spell the English Language correctly. It is believed that eleven years is as young as a pupil can enter the Institution advantageously. The Cadets will be furnished with Clothing, Books, and every thing else necessary for their comfort and improvement, at the Institution, at established and reasonable prices. No debts must be contracted without the written permission of the Superinten-dent ; and parents and guardians are required not to pay any bills, unless sanctioned by him. No money must be furnished any Cadet, except by the Superintendent, or his written order. The Superintendent will take charge of all the funds of the Cadets, and see that they are furnished with every thing. Each Cadet is required to have a Permit Book, in which all his expenses must be entered. Each Cadet, whose parents or guardian, reside more than 150 miles from the Institution, will be required to.deposit with the Superintendent 125 dollars ; and an additional 125 dol-lars at the end of 22 weeks. At the end of the Collegiate year, the parent or guardian will be presented with an ac-curate statement of his son's or ward's expenses, and credit for monies received, and the balance, whether in favor or against the Cadet, will be transferred to the following account. Those Cadets, who do not reside more than 150 miles from the Institution, must deposit with the Superintendent when they enter, 75 dollars ; after which, their ac-counts will be made out at the beginning of each quarter, and the balance transferred as above. The Cadets will wear the same uniform as was worn at Middletown. Strict economy will be required, and no unnecessary expendi-tures allowed. Great attention will be given to the manners and morals of the Students, and to the developement of those noble, manly and patriotic sentiments that ought to characterize every American citizen. This system of Edu-cation prepares young men equally well for public or private, civil or military life, and its superiority over every other system has been established by thirty-three years of experience. Those who do not wish to complete the full course, can attend to the branches which will best qualify them for such future pursuits as they contemplate. Each one will be allowed to progress as rapidly as he can in his studies, consistently with a thorough understanding of the same. Candidates for admission are admitted at any time and charged their expenses from the time of joining. The 33d ANNIVERSARY OF THE SYSTEM will be celebrated at the Institution, on the 6th of Sept., 1853, at which all are invited to attend. The LOCATION of the Institution is central from north to south, and is proverbially healthy and pleasant. The climate is mild. It is 32 miles from Philadelphia, 5 from Wilmington, and 65 from Baltimore, and in the vicinity of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Railroad—the Depot at Newport being two miles and a half distant, with a ready con-veyance. Being retired from the vicinity of any city or large village, it is well adapted to study, and the preservation of the morals of the Cadets. The quarters are of stone, in good repair, and will accommodate 250 Cadets. There are all the necessary out buildings, a Medicinal Spring, &c., and 60 acres of land, well adapted to Gardening, Agri-culture, &c. A. PARTRIDGE, Superintendent, BRANDYWINE SPRINGS, JUNE 1, 1853
