ton much material that is of Perishable
character in regard to Kenyon College, which,
to the old students Of Kenyon, the members
Of the Protestant Episcopal church, and the
friends of education in the West, will be of
deep and abiding interest.

locality, which they possess. Mr.. Norton

years in attendance on the Institution, for
twelve years Secretary of the Society Of the
Alumni, and has had superior opportunities
for acquiring knowledge of the old students
Of the College.
