We received visit, yesterday, from Mr.
Julius d. Drcher, of our State, who has
been engaged for several months past on
al extensive tour throughout the South,

for session Of ten months, is only $21O,

present tour in the service of tho college

there arc evon now rs many as thirteen
States represented within her walls,

standing of her graduates heretofore, the
thorough course of studies which she
