WArcIrMAN Office Rev II r. Fuller has been FOR
few years past the principal Of this institution
and is becoming well known In the state a. a capa-
bic, earnest and faithful Christian educator lie
has had during tho year soyen assistant teachers
In the different branches pursued. Three care
fully prepared courses Of study have been adopted
First classical course, extending through four
years, designed to give young men thorough ft-
ting for our host colleges secondly, an English and
scientific course for those who wish for good
English education, OF desire TO take an advanced
standing in the scientific departments Of our col
leges; thirdly ladies course--extending through
five years preparing them 10 enter any Of the col
leges open to them. The studies Of the last year
are elective, and diplomas are given TO those who
complete tho course The regulations adopted for
the government OF the pupils arc framed with
special reference 10 the formation Of right intellec
tual, moral and social habits. The new and
finely appointed buildings were erected by the lib
erality Of Mr. Thaddeus Fairbanks, and the inten-
ton Of the founders and managers IL. to make the
institution ono Of unsurpassed eScellency ~ a
thorough and safe school Tor the education Of
young men and women.

the state has been one OF two irst-cass classical
aud English schools, thoroughly cndoised provided
with efficient corps Of teachers and in full . M
patty with our colleges. For the want u this
many young men have gone 10 other states for
their classical training aud there been subject 10
influences that have turned them to other colleges
than our own. We ought to take a state interest
and state pride Ia our educational Institutions and
strive to make them better from the lowest to the
highest II all the young men from the state, who
get liberal education, went 70 our colleges, IL
would speedily put them in condition TO do their
work-whlch II now done 10 wel-better still The
difficulty which our colleges and fitting schools
have had N contend with ia the past has been
the want Of sufficient endowments We have
had good educators In our academies, but for the
lack Of sufficient assistants they have been obliged
70 teach themsely es almost the whole curriculum Of
studies, and could not gain for their schools that
efficiency and reputation which Kimbal Union
and Phillips Academies have bad We shall be
glad 10 see such difficulties removed and all our
higher institutions thoroughly endowed, so as 10
be helpful to each other, and having such merit
and reputation to be songht by those from either
