Circular describing the general plan for the Virginia Literary, Scientific, & Military Academy at Portsmouth, Virginia in February 1845, signed by members of the board of trustees. Also includes information about lectures, uniform, and tuition. ; VIRGINIA LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC AND MILITARY ACADEMY. PORTSMOUTH, V A . FEBRUARY, 1845 The Trustees would respectfully inform the public that this Institution is in successful operation, under the superintendance of the former able and popular professors, Maj. S. WHEELER, and Mr. N. B. WEBSTER, assisted in the Junior Department by Mr. D. D. STORY, and Mons. PASCAL SCHISANO Professor of French. GENERAL PLAN. The analytical method of instruction, leading to a thorough investigation of the reasons for every rule learned, and every scientific operation, performed, is strictly adhered to. The student is thus enabled, not only to acquire a knowledge of facts, but also to understand the "why and wherefore;" without which their ready application to the practical business of life cannot be attained. That knowledge of Military science, which, while human nature remains as it. now is, is ever liable to be called into requisition, may be here acquired without the sacrifice of either time or money ; as the Military exercises do not interfere with the usual hours of study, but are attended to at times too often devoted by students to trifling amusement. For this, regular and ennobling exercise is substituted ; which the Trustees feel the most perfect assurance, based upon their own observation and experience, not only tends to expedite the advancement o-f the student, but in a very great degree to secure his health. Particular attention is given to the correct development of the moral and intellectual powers ; while all interference with the peculiar religious or political views of the student is carefully avoided. The discipline of the Institution is strict and uniform, in principle-military, in practice-parental. Energy and promptitude are required, in the discharge of every duty, and correct and gentle-manly deportment, at all times, and places. In fine it is the constant aim of the professors, to prepare those who may be committed to their charge, for the successful prosecution of business, either in a public or private, a civil or military capacity, and for the proper understanding and discharge of the duties incumbent on them, as individuals, as members of community, and as rational and accountable beings. Students are allowed to progress as rapidly as they may be able, consistent with the thorough understanding of the branches to which they at-tend. In addition to the usual Academic course of study, particular attention is paid to the practical sciences, especially the Mathematical. Instruction is also given in the principles of Law. which the Trustees consider an important part of the Education of American youth, inasmuch as every citizen of (Mir Republic, is both amenable to the laws, and either directly or indirectly has an agency in en-acting them. Major S. Wheeler, a graduate of the school of Law at the University of Virginia, and member of the Virginia Bar, instructs in this department. CLASSICAL DEPARTMENT. Students are correctly and thoroughly instructed in the Latin and Greek languages, and fitted for any college, or class in college, or if desired, carried through the entire collegiate course of studies.
