Preparatory School in Wisconsin.

This institution, formerly known as Wayland University, located at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, has passed under the control of the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago, and will hereafter be conducted as a Preparatory Department of the University. This school has been in successful operation during the past year, under the direction of E. F. Stearns, M.A., a graduate of the University, assisted by a competent corps of instructors. It is the design of the Trustees to make it in every respect worthy of public favor. Competent teachers will be employed, and a complete course of preparatory studies organized, thus affording to those who prefer not to send their sons to the city, an opportunity of securing for them the best instruction and preparation for college. The school is open to the young people of both sexes, and it is designed, as soon as practicable, to provide separate buildings for the department for young ladies, and to develop a complete collegiate course of studies, graduates from which shall receive the diploma of the University of Chicago. Classes in other branches of study, besides those required in the preparation for college, will be organized as circumstances require.
