Professors, ana lp tstaDiSh this college, III Their

tins enterprise preferred, aud very properly too, tins
place. ON account oil It's more central and healthy To-
cation.
We concede the Importance of Educatlon-wc ac-
knowledge Institution
on those grounds then we now need make no appeal.
But we wall call the attention OF Citizens to other
advantages to be derived rom the College-ofe sell
hsl-but worthy OF consdGration-to the pecu-
mary benefits resulting from its establishment here
leaving out OF view the social and intellectual Inc
friends OF the College have assurances, that amount
almost 10 guarantee, that more than $50 students
will be brot from a distance to school here. Sup
pose we put the number down to 100 from other
States aud the adjoining Counties in this State What
amount of money will this number of Students nee
essarily spend among us Il have bad some expe-
rlcncc IN these matters for several years and find that
two wards cost over $l000-in n distant city per
year. But we will be more moderate Put the
expenses (tuitIon board, clothes &C., at $3.50 per
year "a very moderate estmate) leaving out OF the
calculation the additions to our society OF the yar-
Gus professors and their families and the benefits OF
! their expenditures. The expenses then OF 100 stu
dents AT $500 would amount to the sum oil S42,ooo
| per years. Every class i'll whole community will
receive portion of this-the Merchant the Halter,
| the Shoemaker, &c. But largely more than that will
| be saved-for what we sdee suppose may be con-
Sdercd much made. Now suppose add to
this SI2 900 the amount cayyied away from Lynch
burg by young men, who are forced to leave here
to obtain Collegiate Educations-at moderate cal
cuaon Mt least 20 young men and youths leave here
for that purpose during the year, and many more
would CO. had they the ability to do Put iheir
penscs at $3.50 each--the aggregate will be 81 900
carried out from the city yearly; showing, by mod
