The University.

The last session OF the University was most
prosperous and successful The number of stu
dents over five hundred and fifty, was larger than
ever before. The probability is that the next SEES
sion will show a continued increase, and that, in a
few years, the University of Virginia will be the
first in numbers, as well as in merit, of American
Universities
But, to secure the continued efficiency of this
great institution, there ought to be increase OF
the professors salaries. No consideration of dol
lars aud cents should be allowed to stand for q
moment in the way of obtainiug and retaining the
best talent in the world in each department Ii
should be The aim of Virginia to make the Univers
ty the first of learning this continent and equa
TO any in Europe This she can only do by put
ting her hands in her pockets, and atfixing an ad
equa:e compensation to each of her chairs. By
her liberal policy hitherto in this respect she has
been able to secure such galaxy OF genius and
learning at the University as has been rarely
fonnd In any similar institution In this country
The great increa however, of late, in the expen
SEES of living, have virtually reduced the salare,
10 point below the actual compensation of for
mer times and inadequate to the proper support Of
she incumbents.
