This institution is announced in accordance
with the declaration of the founders of the Ma
tional Colony, that the early establishment of a
seminary of learning, OH liberal basis, at some
favorable point, was part of their plan.
1t has been judged advisable to put the enter
prise under denominational control; it is, accord
ingly, introduced under the patronage of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and as auxiliary to
Hdnline University. 1t will be conducted in
the most catholic spirit: the object being to unite
liberal culture with the precepts and spiritof the
Christian system.
The Seminary building, now known as the
Methodist Church Block, is spacious and attract
i've, and admirably located. 1t fronts on the
Public Square, in Worthington, within short
distance of West Okabena Lake.
1t is intended to make the Seminary an honor
to the State-the equal of any similar institution
in the West. The board of instruction is already
large and embraces, in an unusual degree, both
the experience and ability essential to success.
AS occasion demands it will he enlarged and
nothing shall be wanting to the completeness of
the several departments.
The contemplated course Of study will cover a
period of three years; the design being to pre-
pare students for collegiate course or to quail
~ them to engage successfully in business pur-
Suits Preparatory classes, however, will be
which time, it may be presumed, many will be
unprepared for the regular course.
While the school i'll itself will be unequivocally
Christian, it possesses, also, the external advan-
tagcs OF location in community not only highly
Intelligent and moral, but uncurst by the liquor
| traffic This nefarous trade, the prolific source
OF poverty and crime, is, by law, utterly excud-

guardian will underestimate the Importance of
this most significant fact.
Prof. Hum>ton takes charge of a department
with which he has been long and honorably con-
nected, aud brings with him, as git to the in
stitution, philosophical and chemical apparatus
worth six hundred and fifty dollars.
