colegium baltimorense in usum feminatum

a thorough, practical, accomplished and christian education,
fit the pupil for the faithful discharge of the responsible duties that await her
in life.
under an able and energetic faculty
an able body of teachers is thus being reared up.
while infants pray and oppressed rage and poets burn and prophets fade and fountains murmur and sons die and churches mold
in the half-life of superstition

excluded from opportunities of respectability in humble confinement
from condescended illusions of independence.

designing chastely and architecturally.
