THE HAMLlNE UNIVERSITY.
For the present and in the future, the
Hamline University, located in our town
and started under such flattsring auspices
will largely contribute 10 the growth and
prosperity Of bot.a town and surrounding
country: The present position and future
prospects Of this excellent institution cannot
be too highly estimated.
The college building stands on what a
few short years ago was Indian lands, and
which even yet belongs to the government.
Its foundation was dug upon soil where
was plainly to be seen, the results of In
dian tillage, and near where yet stands the
rude remains of the Indians wigwam.-
The building already erected is an impos-
ing brick edifce, 81 by 81 feet, 3 stories
high, and is 60 feet in height from base
ment to cu?ola, and is designed in future
to bs used as preparatory Department.
1t is most convenient, well arranged and
symmetrical building.
Tie University was chartered by act
Of the Legislature Of Minnesota, on the srd
March, 1854, and is under the patronage
of the Me. E. Church.
Its endowment is principally derived
from the generosity Of Bishop Hamlins. In
the summer Of 1854, Rev. David Brooks
visited Bishop Hamline at Schenectady, N.
Y, and secured from him donation Of
$4,000 for an institution of this kind, to
be located on the banks Of the Mississippi.
By tho efforts of Mr.. Brooks, and Others.
and by the liberal subscription Of citizens
Of Red Wing, it was finally determined to
locate the University at Red Wing.
In November, 1854, the preparatory de-
partment was opened in a room hired for
the Purpose, and since then the institution
has steadily prospered. The number of
students the FIRST term were 80, the second
4s, the third SO, the fourth So. The num-

male and female, shall have a thorough and |
complete education, afording the ladies the
same facilities and advantages with gentle
men.
We feel proud of our University, of the
success that has attended it, and of tie (
really practical and useful educational sys
tenn adopted by It's Board of Directors and
Faculty. Located as it is in one of the
most pleasant villages on the Mississippi
in a moral and intelligent community
holding out such inducements to both sexes,
we have no doubt it will largely add to its
members and usefulness in this, the second
year Of its existence, and upon which it has
now fairly and successfully entered. There
are some other matters ola practical char
acter, addressed to the pockets and interests
of our citizens, which we will reserve for
another article.
