HISTORY.

Albany Collegiate Institute-the original corporate name- was founded by the Presbytery of Oregon in the fall of eighteen hundred and sixty-six. Seven acres of land, within the limits of the city of Albany, were donated by Thomas Monteith and wife, and steps were immediately taken for the erection of a building suitable for the work In the fall of eighteen hundred and sixty-seven the institution was formally opened under the presidency of Rev. William J. Monteith. A building had been completed at a cost of eight thousand dollars. In the summer of eighteen hundred and ninetytwo the corporate name was changed to Albany College. During the same summer, at a cost of about seventeen thousand dollars, the first building was enlarged and repaired. The money for this improvement was supplied by voluntary contributions from generous friends of the college.

NEW BUILDING.

The new building was planned by practical teachers, and combines the good features of the best school buildings. The building, as it now appears, is in the shape of a cross one hundred and two by one hundred and eighteen feet, and is heated by three hot-air furnaces communicating with all the rooms and halls. It contains on the second floor four large recitation rooms, twenty-five by forty feet, opening into the assembly hall, which is fifty by fifty-four feet. These rooms are provided with closets and coatrooms, and a complete system of ventilation removes all foul air. Four rooms on the lower floor are now devoted to the commercial department. This gives ample facility for conducting the college bank and commercial exchange in separate apartments. There are besides, on the first floor, two commodious recitation rooms for primary and intermediate work, a room devoted entirely to the library, and a private office for the president. The whole building is lighted by electricity and an electric clock gives signals for change of classes.

THE COURSE OF STUDY.

The course of study extends through four collegiate years. It embraces philosophy, history, language, literature, and science. Each study is pursued comprehensively, and, at the same time, with sufficient minuteness to develop accuracy in mental operation, and prepare the student for the highest usefulness in life by his own independent thought and action. The development of the mental powers of the pupil is kept constantly in view. Throughout the entire course, students will have term work and drill in English composition, select speaking, elocution, and debate. In the junior and senior years, students will pronounce original orations.

ACADEMY OF THE SACRED HEART.

SALEM, OREGON,

Under the Direction of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary.

The object of this institution is to educate young ladies in all the useful and ornamental branches generally taught in the most approved schools. The building is among the finest in the state for educational purposes. It is well ventilated, heated by hot-air furnaces, and lighted by gas; while the location is all that could be desired. The library is very select, and the cabinet contains a variety of valuable specimens, some from the most distant localities. The moral and intellectual improvement of the pupils is attended to with the greatest solicitude, and the most devoted attention paid to their domestic comfort. At all hours the young ladies are under the watchful care and government of their teachers. Pupils of every religious denomination are indiscriminately received, and all interference with their religious convictions carefully avoided. Good order, however, requires that all should conform to the general regulations of the institution. The scholastic year commences at the end of August and terminates about the middle of June. It is divided into four terms of ten weeks each. Payments are to be niade quarterly in advance. Pupils are received at any time, and charged only from date of entrance. When parents or guardians desire to withdraw their children or wards, they are requested to give timely notice, settle all accounts, and forward money to defray traveling expenses. A short vacation is generally granted at Christmas. The course of instruction embraces the various branches which constitute the elementary and higher departments of education. Bulletins, showing the result of the written examinations, etc., of pupils, are transmitted to parents or guardians at the end of each term. Besides the usual class exercises in elocution, literary societies are organized to engender and foster in the youthful mind a taste for the truly good and beautiful in refined literature. Weekly instructions are given in the rules of etiquette and all that constitutes correct ladylike deportment. Gold medals and diplomas are conferred on those who satisfactorily complete the studies of the prescribed course. The musical department receives the most exact attention, and has long been appreciated by the music-loving friends of the institution. Thorough bass and harmony are taught according to the most approved methods, and lessons in the art.of reading music are also given. Gratuitous lessons are given in plain and ornamental needlework, embroidery, knitting, crochet, beadwork, etc. French, Latin, and industrial drawing do not form extra charges. No deduction is made for partial absence or withdrawal of a pupil before the expiration of a term, unless in case of a protracted illness.
