81 500.
The late commencement. owing probably to the
con nued rains, was not attended by such an
overw b. lining crow d as usually assemble on such
occasions. But the exercises exhibited IA high
order Of intellect aud cultivation and appeared 10
afford satisfaction To he entire audience.

the usual time, the LIST Monday in October. A
large accession Of students is expected at the

From this brief abstract Of the proceedings OF
the Board, il will be seen that the Trustees are
disposed to the ex'enl of their ability, to devise
liberal things for the College. With prudent and
IudiciOus management of the abundant means with
which a kind providence has enabled us to lay
broad and deep the foundations OF our Institution,
and with the scholarship system in operation,
binding larg" and intelligent community 10 Il,
with thrrefnd cord-may not confidently
expect that Davidson College shall bec"me IA
perennial fountain, whence shall issue many
streams TO make glad the city Of our God. But in
all our fiatterlng prospects for the future, 1t be.
comes to be mindful that except the Lord
build the house, they labor in vain that build IL.
Except the Lord keep the city, tho Waterman
~nlkrrh hui in vain. TI'e aoiU therefore rejoice IN
hy saiUation, and in the name at COL acc
actH set up Our banners.
