Notice.
Ever since the establishment of the gymnasium in Meran, the Abbey of Marienberg has maintained an institution providing secure accommodation for students. As an urgent need has arisen over the years to admit a greater number of applicants, the institution has been expanded in such a manner that more than double the previous number can now be accommodated. The moral and academic direction of the institution has been entrusted to the professors Magnus Tschenett and Augustin Moriggl. The conditions for admission to the institution are as follows:
1. Each student pays 180 fl. RW. for lodging, board, bed, linen, and light.
2. In addition to his own underwear, he must bring six towels. All his garments must bear recognizable marks so that they cannot be confused with those of others.
3. If a student brings his own bed, he pays 174 fl. RW.
4. Any pupil desiring wine, or coffee instead of the usual breakfast, must defray these expenses separately.
Likewise, expenses for private tutoring, as well as instruction in music and drawing, are not included in the above price. Applications for admission, together with the certificates required for entry into the gymnasium, are to be addressed to the undersigned administration.
Marienberg, July 6, 1851. Magnus Tschenett, Professor.

On the Annual Reports of the Gymnasiums in Merano and Bozen
A dispatch from the Adige Valley compares the published school reports of the gymnasiums in Merano and Bozen. While the Merano publication is praised despite a noted omission regarding Father Placidus Degeser, the Bozen text draws criticism for its overly poetic and exalted framing of natural science.

1851 at a glance
The year 1851 in Merano was strongly characterized by the Tyrolean marksmen festival promoted by Archduke John and held in the early summer, which held major social and representative significance. At the same time, local education received important impulses through the securing of the upper secondary school and new structural developments. Social welfare measures, such as the opening of a childcare center, complemented public life during this period. →
