Mn. KELLER R:--- Dear Sir-Any one go
ing to Delaware or through there, will find
it worth their trouble to stop and visit the
Society Halls and Library, in the College
Buildings.
am indebted to Mr. Soamons, senior
student, for the pleasure of being conducted
through the different halls and library; and
l certainly think young man of ordinary
ability could get up an inspiration in such q
desirable place for declaiming as their halls
present.
The Athenian hall is nicely furnished and
arranged for the purposes intended. But
the Zetigathians surpass all. Their hall
is beautifully furnished with marble top
centre and side tables, Brussels carpet and
sofa, and looks as neat and elegant, with
chandeliers dangling over head, as any la
dies parlor in the State, and were it not for
the rostrum you would think you were en-
tering ladies parlor, rather than hall for
the use of the hterati of students who as
semble there, from week to week, to exer-
else in different ways.
After going through the halls and libra
ries below, we assembled to the college libra
ry above, called Sturges' Library, made fa-
nous by donation of ten thousand dollars
from Mr.. Sturges, a young man of Paines-
vile. The library is said to be one of the
finest in the State. Dr. Thompson spent
some time in Europe collecting together the
most valuable works now in existence
The library room is magnificent. The arch
itecture, painting and carving, give pleas
ing effect to the arrangement of everything
which seems to have been done by an art
lists hand. The walls arc embellished with
fine paintings portraits, daguerreotypes, DC.
which on the whole makes it very pleas
ant retreat in which to while away an houl
or two. Yours, DON.
