the college the way is billy and uneven,
shaded on either hand by tall, thrifty
growth at maple and oak. The insti.
tuition owns two thousand acres Of land
adjacent.
The President of the collegs is the
RI. Rev. 4. scidenbusch, one Of the
Abbots of the order Of st. Benedict,
aod l:tc President of st. Vincent, of
Pennsylvania. President Seidcnbuscl
is gentleman OF distinguished literary
attainmcnts and most agreeable ma,.-
ners. am indebted to him for kind
ness in showing me ovcr the grounds,
buildings and outdoor. improvements.
In connection with building>improve-
ments, the trustees or corporation own
a saw mill, shingle and lath5 machines,
manufacturing the lumber, lath and
shingles expressly for themselves
They also make their own brick, on
their own lands. I am informed that
it is proposed to build soon a grist mill
near the saw mill, on the Little 'W.tab.
They have large farm near St. 10,
from which is raised part Of the pro-
duce necessary for the large boarding
house. Eighty acres of improved
land arc this year 70 he added to the
college grounds out Of the forests ad-
joining, which will be cultivated
These Improvements and the farming
are carried forward entirely independ-
ent ct the college proper. The STU
dents have nothing to do with them.
But it is admirably arranged, so that
the institution is not dependent on the
market, but raises on its own lands its
own supply for its boarding houses,
saws its own lumber, and manufactures
its own brick, lath aud shingles. .Ev.
erything is unde. the superintendsnoe
Of ths President, Of whose business
tact no one can doubt when he has
seen all that is going on in h harmony ip
