Iowa College,

We have received from the Presi.
dent, Rev. Geo. F. Magoun, copy OF
the catalogue of Iowa College, located
at Grinnell. From it we learn that
the institution is in very prosperous
condition. More than one thousand
different students have been under in.
struction at this college, and it is
claimed that, with scarcely an excep.
ton, it is the cheapest college in the
United States. We see by the cata-
logue that the present price of board
in private families, without rooms, is
1915 per week, and with rooms, 800
per week. The spring term will COM
mence on Wednesday, Feb. It'll, and
