Iowa CoLLEcE.-We call attention to the
advertisement Of Iowa College, At Grinnell,
which appears in another column.
In view Of the internal and external adj
vantages Of this Institution, we know of no
place in the State which presents superior or
even equal advantages for = course of educa.
ton for youth with Iowa College. The Pres.
idens, Rev. George F. Magoun, is man Of
marked and distinguished ability, AID has no
superior, we presume, in literary attainments
or the facility Of imparting instruction. and
has few equals within the limits Of Iowa in in.
telIecsual power, while be il 1t the same time
enthusiastically devoted to the general cause
Of education and the special interests OF the
Institution over which be presides.
The other members Of the Faculty are am.
ply qualified for their several positions, and
earnestly devoted 70 the interests devolyipe
on the CAairs which they flf.
The ts~n Of Grinnell Is quiet place, en-.
tirely free from the dileterious influences
which characterize many Of our lsrxe towns,
and the people are moral and intelligent, and
general tone Of sentiment prevails very q.
vorable to the advancement and gene ral we'll
being Of the students.
We cordially commend the Institution to
the patronage Of our friends.
