The catalog includes the names of faculty members and students; information about the school, such as its location, mission, and calendar; lists of fees and instructions for boarders; and an address, probably by the principal, defending the institution's strict disciplinary methods and explaining its purpose: "The culture of Woman is justly appreciated as a matter of the first magnitude. If her sex is ordained to move in the retired scenes of home-life, it is there that the sustaining influence of knowledge and taste is pre-eminently needed. No where is talent more operative or genius more ennobling - no where is beauty more charming or sublimity more exciting - no where is sensibility more touching or affection more holy - than in those gentle offices that constitute the true life of the heart, in the domestic circle. A woman should be educated for such associations as suit her nature. She ought to be trained to tastefulness and mental activity, for the pleasure which they afford her - for the power which they give over her own feebleness - for the security which they yield her against no small share of the ills of existence - and lastly, for the peace and joy that they so gently shed over her social relations. The first object, then, to be attained, is to awaken a generous enthusiasm in behalf of intellectual excellence, and to stimulate the feelings until they act intensely on the understanding." |
