| Summary: | The catalog includes the names of students and some faculty members (handwritten in the book); information about the school, such as its buildings, location, mission, regulations, and courses; and a list of fees. The introduction gives the background and teaching philosophy of the new principal, "a native of the South": "He has selected teaching as his profession, and has devoted himself earnestly thereto, for many years in Southern States. Relying upon the generous support of an appreciating community, he pledges himself that the Wilcox Female Institute, while under his control, shall have no superior, North or South, in affording facilities for young Ladies to acquire a thorough, systematic and liberal education. He will incorporate in the course of Study, to a goodly degree, the solidity and severity of the course pursued in the best Male Colleges, retaining all the desirable graces and accomplishments taught in Female Colleges of the highest grade in the land."
