Abbot Academy, founded in 1829, is a seminary for the higher education
of young women. It is distinctly Christian in its instruction, discipline,
and influence. It aims to prepare girls for useful, earnest lives by providing
opportunities for thorough intellectual culture and by endeavoring to secure
the best development of character.

Extended seminary courses in Latin, Greek, French and German
languages, with History, Literature and Science, and rare facilities for
Music and Art are fully provided for, and also a thorough college fitting
course. The College Preparatory Course gives certificate to any College
that admits on certificate.

The successful work of this Academy is exemplified in the cases of the
many who have filled and are filling important fields as missionaries, home
and foreign, as authors, librarians, physicians, artists, successful teachers
and wives of clergymen and officers of colleges and other institutions.

Andover is situated on the Boston and Maine railroad, twenty-three
miles north of Boston. It has a healthful climate, and is in a region of
beautiful scenery. As the seat of several educational institutions, Andover
offers many incidental benefits to the pupils of the Academy, while its
proximity to Boston renders the best advantages of that city easily available.

The grounds comprise about twenty-three acres, including grove, lawns
and gravel and concrete walks.

Draper Hall furnishes a home for all pupils pursuing English and Ger-
man. It is equipped with the best modem conveniences for the health and
comfort of pupils, including effective systems of hot water heating and
electric lighting. It has separate floors for Music and Art, a large reading
room, and a commodious library. The greater number of rooms in this
building are en suite^ allowing two rooms, a parlor and a bedroom, for
two pupils. There are a few larger rooms for two persons, and a few single
rooms. Each young lady has a single bed, her own bureau, closet and toilet
conveniences.

Those studying French live in Smith Hall, where P'rench is the chief
language spoken. Good accommodations are here provided, a pleasant
dining room and home-like parlors, with a separate room for each pupil.

Abbot Hall contains the chapel, class-rooms, laboratory, and gymnasium.

The Academy Library, of some five thousand volumes, is a carefully
selected reference library, especially well supplied with works for the study
of Literature, History, Science and Art. New books are constantly added
for every department of study represented in the course. Students have
access to the library, as well as to the reading-room, which is well furnished
with the leading reviews and newspapers of the day. The observatory has
a fine Clark telescope.

The Spring Term opens April 15, 1897. The first term of the sixty-ninth
year will begin September 16, 1897.

The total expense for board, including fuel, lights and washing, and for
tuition, except music and drawing, is $400 per annum.

For Catalogues address W. F. DRAPER. For additional particulars and
for admission, MISS LAURA S. WATSON, Principal.
