Broadside inviting all past students of Alden Partridge to attend commencement celebrations at the American Literary, Scientific, and Military University in Norwich, Vermont, in August 1846. ; NORWICH COMMENCEMENT CELEBRATION. The undersigned were appointed a committee at the last Anniversary Celebration of the American, Literary, Scientific and Military University at Norwich, Vt., held on the 4th of September, 1845, to address an invitation to all who have been educated under Capt. Partridge, and all other friends of a truly American System of Education, to attend the Commence-ment of this Institution, to be held at Norwich on the third Thursday of August next. The A. L. S. & MILITARY UNIVERSITY, which has existed, with only a change of places, for more than twenty five years, was founded by Capt. Partridge, under whose superintendence it still remains. The system of Education upon which it is based, is of a high order, besides being eminently practical and useful. Whilst the mind, at this Institution, is invig-orated and stored with the truths and beauties of science and literature, the body is strengthened and refreshed by an attend-ance upon Military discipline and practical Engineering. The youth, whose studies are closed, instead of going forth to em-bark in the trials and busy scenes of life with the noblest energies of his body and mind decayed or destroyed by sedentary habits, departs from this Institution with a liberal, useful and scientific education, and usually robust and healthy. It is designed that the commencement on the third Thursday, (20th,) in August next, both in the character of the exer-cises, and in the assemblage of a large number of the old Cadets and friends of the Institution from every part of the Uni-ted States, shall offer attractions and objects of interest, not presented on any preceding like occasion. Several orations will be pronounced, and mostly by gentlemen who have hitherto been Cadets under Capt. Partridge, and who have or will be selected so as to represent each class of Cadets, as well those at Norwich originally, as those who were at Middletown, Ct. after the removal of the Academy to that place, and those at Norwich since the re-establishment of the Institution upon its present basis. We trust that the attendance on this Commencement Celebration will be worthy of the character of the old Cadets, who will then have an opportunity of gathering around their "old Alma Mater" of reviewing the scenes of early days, and taking by the hand once more their old and tried instructor, commander and friend. Besides the public exercises of the occasion, a subject intimately connected with the welfare and perpetuity of the Institution and its system of education will come before the Alumni for their discussion and action. We confidently expect a meeting of all friends of a liberal and useful education who can conveniently be present on that day. W. S. SHERWOOD, N. Y. D. H. DUST IN, MASS. C. H. SARGENT. OHIO. H. J.

It is expected that the Exercises will be concluded with a Levee and dancing assembly on the evening of the 20th of August. A. PARTRIDGE.
