| Summary: | The catalog includes the names of faculty members and students; details about courses and instruction methods for the three schools (primary, grammar, and high); lists of textbooks and fees; and information about the school, such as extracurricular activities, reporting methods, academic awards, and a brief history of the institution. It also presents an argument in favor of coeducation: "It is hardly necessary for us to present an argument upon this subject. It has been found to be the true way so often, and by so many good educators, that we presume all are in favor of it. However, we would like to add our humble testimony on the right side. We find it to be the best intellectually, morally and socially. It stimulates the young ladies to greater zeal and efforts for success in mathematics. It makes the young gentlemen ashamed if they cannot equal the young ladies in history and kindred studies. It gives both a better idea of the other's capacities and real merits of character. It elevates and purifies every emotion of the soul thus to mingle together in class work and in competitive efforts to excel."
