LOWVILLE ACADEMY One Hundred and Nine Graduates in Eighteen Years and Eighty During the Past Ten Years. In the communication having reference to the academy, written by Mr. Abial B. SHELDON and published in our last issue, the writer had more particular reference to the prosperity of the institution during the earlier years of Prof. ADAMS' administration. We have thought that it might interest the friends of the academy to know more definitely what has been accomplished since Prof. ADAMS returned to his work at the academy in 1874. During the academic year ending July, 1875, the course prescribed for graduation was recast and made to conform more prefectly to the course prescribed by the regents of the university. Since that time, it has been required as a condition of graduation from the academy, that the student should have completed the prescribed course of study and have secured the regents' academic diploma. During the last eighteen years of Prof. ADAMS' administration, there have been graduated from the academy, under the conditions mentioned, one hundred and nine students. Of these forty-two have entered different colleges and universities. Within the last ten years, commencing with 1882 the regents have from time to time raised the standard of scholarship required for securing their diploma, and the requirements of the academy have been risen in like proportion. During this period of ten years, eighty students have completed the course of study prescribed by the regents of the university and have received the regents' diploma, also the diploma of the academy. Thirty-two of this number have entered college. There are at this writing twenty of the graduates of the academy pursuing their studies at different colleges and universities. Of these there are in Cornell university five young ladies and four gentlemen. The six following are pursuing under-graduate courses: Misses Laura A. BROWN, Nellie A. BURR, Jessie A. BURR, Estella M.
