Temple Grove Seminary
Is beautifully situated in a grove in the eastern part of the village, on what was formerly called Temple Hill.
Rev. Chas. F. Dowd, A.M., a graduate of Yale College, is the princ.i.p.al.
The regular graduating course occupies a period of four years, and embraces many of the studies pursued in our colleges for young men, while every facility is afforded for the more modern and artistic accomplishments. The endowment is found in the fact that during the long summer vacation the building is opened as a summer resort.
The Climate
Of Saratoga is remarkably pleasant and salubrious. Mountain bulwarks protect it from wind and tempest. We doubt if there is any place in the world which can offer more attractions to the invalid. Those who visit Saratoga in the pursuit of health, will find a very pleasant home among cultivated people at the Inst.i.tute of Drs. STRONG, on Circular street.
We take pleasure in speaking of this house because it is unique in its character, and is one of the features of Saratoga. A guide book is not the place to discuss systems of medicine. Suffice it to say that the doctors, while regularly educated physicians, make use also of the varied resources of hydropathy, and of a wider range of remedial appliances than can be found in any similar inst.i.tution on the globe.
[Ill.u.s.tration: TEMPLE GROVE SEMINARY.]
It is worth the while of every tourist in Saratoga to visit the elegant Inst.i.tute, and examine its Vacuum Cure and Movement Cure, and its superb bath-rooms and enjoy the luxury of a Turkish or Russian bath. The doctors are very courteous, and visitors will find a pleasant reception.
The Inst.i.tute is open throughout the year. As a _summer home_ for people in health, it fully meets the wants of those desiring first cla.s.s accommodations. There is no appearance of invalidism about the house, and its remedial character in no respect diminishes its attractions. Its table is superior, and its patrons are the religious aristocracy of the land.
The Churches
Are commodious and built with special reference to the visiting population. They are ministered to by resident pastors of culture and repute, and their pulpits are filled during the season by distinguished divines from all sections of the country.
The Methodist Society have the most elegant and conveniently located edifice. It was dedicated the present year, and is situated on the north side of Was.h.i.+ngton street, just above the Grand Union. It is built of brick with sandstone tr.i.m.m.i.n.gs, and cost $116,000. Rev. J.M.
