For several years il has been the steady aim
ot the Faculty and Board to raise the standard
OF Education; and they are gratilicd to b.
able to say that, Notwithstanding the many
difficulties attending such an undertaking.
they are succeeding. BY alrigid prosecution
oil this great object, they huye sustained pres
ent loss-many students preferring TO 90 where
the requirements were lower. But the au-
thoritlcs OF the College believe that they owe
this course to tie age in which they live, and
that in the fulfllment of their purposes in
this respect, they will be fully sustained by am
enlightened community.
The undersigned cannot clbsc this commu-
nication without calling to The remembrance
OF the Alumni a Resolution adopted at their
last annual meeting, enjoinirg each one to Sc
cure the publication of notice of the College
