Opened its twenty-sixth year August 30th, with a

larger attendance than that of any preceding year.

The aim of the school is to give to all the best possible advantages for accom-
plishing the greatest amount of work in the shortest time, and at the least
expense.
The character of the instruction is so satisfactory that, for a number of years,
the credits from the school have been accepted in the best universities any-
The high grade of work done in the Department of Pedagogy has received the
commendation of educators everywhere. There is no other school in the coun-

where.

The School of Pharmacy is very complete. There are about sixty recognized schools of pharmacy in the United States. Of these not more than twelve have sufficient laboratory facilities to do the entire work, and this is one of the twelve. The Business College in connection with the school is one of the most complete in the land. It is equipped with the most extensive line of offices ever attempted by any school.

In Music, on account of the school being located so near Chicago, we are obliged to compete with the best work done there, so that students have every advantage here that they could have in the city, and at an expense not one-fourth so great. What is said of the completeness of these departments may be said of each deDepartments partment of the school. Expenses Less than at any Other Place. Tuition, $10.00 per term. Good board and well furnished room, $1.50 to $1.90 per week. Same rates in private families as in dormitories.
