We are Crati6ed to state that the College ia in a ms,
prosperous condition, having at this time l33 s.n,
tlents, with every prospect of an increase during the
coming session.
The Chairs are filled with Professors of acknowl-
edged scholarship and ability, and there is no reason,
why Lynchburg College should not become one of
the most successful institutions of the South. The
new building, partially occupied at this time. will be
completed early in the Spring, and viii form the
handsonest architectural ornament Of our city.
