The object of this institution is to afford students the means of acquiring the highest grade of university education, by combining the advantages of a college and of a polytechnic school. The plan of studies embraces a thorough course of humanities, and both the higher mathematics and the natural sciences receive more attention than is usually bestowed on them in literary institutions.

The religion of the non-Catholic portion of the students will not be interfered with in any manner, but facilities will be afforded those whose parents desire that they should attend their respective places of worship on Sundays.

The College occupies an elevated position on the east bank of the Hudson, about eight miles from the City Hall; the location is not surpassed in landscape beauty or salubrity. On one side it commands an extensive view of the river, comprising some of its grandest and most picturesque scenery, and on the other, the hum and bustle of the busy world are excluded by sloping hills and shady groves, the tout ensemble of which, as seen from the recitation-rooms and dormitories, is well calculated to give to the youthful mind a studious and thoughtful turn.
