After our visit to this institution to-day we
were more than ever surprised to learn that SO
little interest is felt by portion Of the citizens
Of Burlington in its prosperity. We were in
formed that Jealousy indisposes some to tavorit
and as an evidence of it, were pointed to street
which the past year was forced through the
grounds, to the benefit of nobody, but injury
4 of all, inasmuch as it does seriously injure the
College grounds, and thereby our city; for it j.
my opinion that whatever Injuries dissatisfaction
Injuries Burlington, and whatever benefits it ben
efts Burlington. 1t is our brightest ornament
and the building and grounds, though mutilatee
yet are the glory of this city. ID
Burlington University should ever be looked
upon as "God-send" in the lap of this beauti
full Mississippi valley, and while its classic wall
and gilded dome overlooks our town, let ever.
stone, brick, shingle and nail be held as sacred
and dear to the hearts of every friend of science
and every lover of his adopted home. May w
all point the stranger and visitor who may conn
among US to the pride of the valley, the corona
q in the crown Of our city, dearer to us than wa.
Accidents Sacred Shade to Plato If itneed
encouragement, improvement, or the aid o
friends, be thou its friend, its aid and patron
and it viii reward you well.
d Before taking leave of the Institution we walk
ed over the spacious grounds and viewed its sur
roundings, and were also invited through the va
. rious apartments in the building in which We
found students of character and promise gather
:. ed from all parts of the Northwest. Western
Iowa, MINNESOTA, Wisconsin and Illinois, were al
represented in the number, and were informed
that the highest studies of a Collegiate cours,
q were being persued, and all the useful and orna
mental branches taught in any high school. w
( also took view of the Library which contain!
a about twelve hundred volumes Of the choices
works in Literature, Science, Arts and Morals.
& Mr.. Editor hope you will yourself visit th
Institution often and keep your readers informed
of the praiseworthy efforts which its many friends
" are making for it, for Burlington and Probone
