Appeal.
The Trustees of the Tennessee Manual
Labor University" would inform the pub
lie and those who have subscribed to their
institution, that they have effected the
purchase of a nice location for the school,
and for beauty of locality, with its attend
ant advantages of healthfulness and fertili-
ty, is unsurpassed in our country; consist
ing of three hundred acres at the cemetery,
twenty miles from Nashville, Tenn,
and three miles from Murfreesboro, Ruther-
ford county. Our expenses for fencing and
arranging for the work before us, is very
great. 1t was all unfenced, and timber for
fencing aud building purposes scarce. We
have few temporary buildings, which are
inadequate to our requirements. And we
would urge upon the friends of education
and human improvement, TO give US their
material aid and support by donations and
subscriptions, until We can put our mechani-
cal and manufacturing departments under
successful operation. And We hope that
We will receive such substantial responses
from pledges that are given and may be OBJ
tanned, that We will have every assurance
OF inaugurating its great purposes, free
from incumbrance and risking liabilities.
Any person desiring to bequeath means to
carry forward this institution, can have
any investment made of it promptly, as
they may direct, to the incorporators, and
the proceeds will be applied to the institus
ton.
We need at this time, to secure US pro-
per building alone, $4,000, besides the ex-
penses We may be forced to make to con-
tinue our school now in progress, consist
ing of one hundred students, Now. if
each friend will contribute to our efforts
by advancing to our agents TEN DOLLARS,
and will give Us an annual pledge for the
small sum of ten dollars per annum for
Tour succeeding years, we will then have
ample assurance of the success of the in
stitution; and the colored citizens will have
an institution for their development equal
ing the first of its class in our country.
Certainly the amount can be easily applied
by the benevolent, humane and generous
of our land.
Applications will be received and re-
corded for the ensuing term, by which
time We hope to have ample room, when
due notice will be given to applicants. A
business office Of the University will be
continued in the city of Nashville, Tenn,
it being the best place for supplies of every
kind We will need for the school, Minis
ters' children, of every denomination, will
be received, tuition free. Orphans, and
others totally destitute, can arrange for
their education and living by their indus
try; youths in either the male or female
departments in some of the industrial arts.
