Of Princeton College, in Kentucky,
since it come under the control Of the
Christian denomination:
4 PRINCETON, CALDWELL
EEft(fI3 L CoUNTY, Ky.
The Christian Church in this part
of the country has recently held a
Convention at this place. There were
o. some fifteen congregations represent
ed. The objects of the Convention
were to promote the preaching of the
Gospel in this part of the world, and
to enlarge the patronage and useful
ness of Princeton College. A Com
mittee was appointed by the Conven-
ton to inquire into the merits OF
Princeton College, and. after a SEES
sion of several hours with Commit
tee from the Board OF Trustees, they
returned the following report:
We, the Committee on Education,
after due consultation with the Board
of Trustees of Prin teton College. find
that the brethren at Princeton have
obtained possession of a college build
iug, which Is worth $50 900 or $40. 600.

by their liberality and zeal, succeeded
in securing the services OF able and
efficient teachers. Thai their Presi-
dent, Brother John Lindsey, and
their Professor of Languages and
bellies lettre>, Brother John A. Dear
born, are both graduates of Bethany
College, and both had large expert
ence in teaching and managing
schools of high order. and they both
are earnest, able, and efficient FRO
chalmers of the primitive Gospel.
That DIR. A. NJ. A llsbrook and lady
are both able and experienced teach
ers, and we'll fitted for the positions
they occupy in Princeton College.
That the faculty have selected the
most improved and best quality of
standard text books in the country;
and that the style of teaching is the
most thorough and elevated, and we
believe no school in this part of the
country affords such facilities for &C
quiring a thorough and finished edu-
cation, both to ladies and gentleman.
That vocal and instrumental music
are taught in the most thorough man
ner by Sister Matte Lindsey. In a
word. the course is thorough and COM
plete in all the branches of a collegi-
ate education.
And we find that whereas the first
session opened with only seventeen
pupils, that on the first day of the
second session there were fifty-six
names enrolled as matriculates of the
Institution. s- 2sE
Notwithstanding this encouraging
state. of the case yet for the mainten-
ance of the Institution In its present
condition, and to enable the Board of
"a Trustees to complete the Board of
Faculty and to render it permanently
and extensively useful. the brethren
who have it in charge absolutely need
the earnest sympathy and co opera
ton and pecuniary aid of the breth-
rem at large.
ais In vieW1of this state of the case,
we recommend that this meeting APP
point a committee of brethren TO co
operate with the Board of Trustees in
devising plan for the sufficient en-
dowment of Princeton College, at
the earliest practiea BILE day.

the future support and prosperity of
Princeton College. No educational
enterprise 10 this part of Southwest
ern Kentucky Is engrossing so much
attention as Princeton College, The
Trustees and Faculty may be truly
proud of such a success, and indeed
every citizen of Caldwell County has
reason to be proud that we have in
our midst an institution of so high
cast, and one so ably conducted.
