vii! accompany the regular rccitatiOn' on
those Branches.
On the part Of the College, we take plea.
sure in saying, and we affirm /; as u truth,
that no Institution in the Western coun-
try eau present larger amount Of severe
aud successful study in proportion to the
number Of students.
We have a larger number Of students,
more in advanced studies, Snd more from
a distance this season, than in any prece'
ding ono since the commencement Of the
Institution.
With these encouraging prospects and
under the solemn pledge that it will re.
deem every promise ii has made, Waynes'
burg College feels that it has right to ask
the aid and cuun'enancs Of its friends
Now is the time for strong determination,
and faithful, persevsring effort. Its exist
ence depends on action. It's friends must
take hold with willard speak. and
wlite. and work for It, il they would see
it take an honorable stand among the col
leges Of our country.
The rooms Of the College Boarding house
and the method Of heating them have not
been as satisfactory as was desired. We
are authorized by the proprietor 10 inform
the Public that he will enlarge his rooms
and use stoves instead Of The present me-
thod of heating by a furnace. He states
further, tina, he will spare neither pains
nor expenses TO make his house in every
respect acceptable to students.
