General Advertiser_
of the 30th of April, 1772, appears the following advertisement:

THE RESPECTABLE PUBLIC is hereby informed that, agreeable to
a former advertisement, a Seminary of Learning was opened at
New Brunswick, last November, by the name of _Queen's
College_,[1] and also a Grammar School, in order to prepare
Youth for the same. Any Parents or Guardians who may be
inclined to send their Children to this Institution, may
depend upon having them instructed with the greatest Care
and Diligence in all the Arts and Sciences usually taught in
public Schools; the strictest Regard will be paid to their
moral Conduct, (and in a word) to every Thing which may tend
to render them a Pleasure to their Friends, and an Ornament
to their Species.

Also to obviate the Objection of some to sending their
Children on Account of their small Proficiency in English, a
proper Person has been provided, who attends at the Grammar
School an Hour a Day, and teaches Reading, Writing and
Arithmetic with becoming Accuracy--It is hoped that the
above Considerations, together with the healthy and
convenient Situation of the Place, on a Pleasant and
navigable River, in the midst of a plentiful Country; the
Reasonableness of the Inhabitants in the Price of Board, and
the easy Access from all Places, either by Land or Water
will be esteemed by the considerate Public, as a sufficient
Recommendation of this infant College, which (as it is
erected upon so Catholic a Plan) will undoubtedly prove
_advantageous_ to our new American World, by assisting its
SISTER SEMMINARIES to cultivate Piety, Learning, and
Liberty.

_Per Order of the Trustees_,

FREDERICK FRELINGHUYSEN, Tutor.

N.B. The Vacation of the College will be expired on
Wednesday the 6th of May, any Students then offering
themselves shall be admitted into such Class, as (upon
Examination) they shall be found capable of entering.

The signer of this interesting advertisement was graduated from
Princeton College in 1770, and subsequently became a lawyer. His
distinguished son, Theodore, was widely known as a philanthropist and
Christian statesman, and at various periods was United States Senator,
Chancellor of the New York University, President of Rutgers College, a
candidate for the Vice Presidency o
