DARTMOUTH COLLEGE.


tant hills OF the Old Granite State glow with
efrulgent beams OF light, ana rising toward its
zenith 1t looks down upon this little town or
Hanover, nesting among the rugged cliffs OF the
sur ounding mountains. But never did Hanover
look more lovely. Nature and art seems TO have
conspired 10 produce this result; the grass and
trees have now their brightest green, that
color which Is confidently expected will cross the
line frat next month at Saratoga The old
church and college halls around which
clusters many happy memories OF the
pass, have been handsomely decorated
50 as TO meet the approving glance
OF admiring visitors. Every one looks pleased and
happy. There is especial reason TO rejoice,
inasmucn as Mr.. Taob wentworth, OF Lowell,
Mass, New Hampshire man and an eminent
lawyer, after leaving few legacles to individuals
gives his whole very large estate TO Dartmouth
College, TO constitute q permanent fund the in

however, TO be used until the principal has accu-
mulated to 100000, which will probably take
but two or three years This is the largest gifE
that Dartmouth has ever received.
The order OF exercises for tomorrow IL very
interesting and attractive.

JAMES W. rATTERsoS's ADDRESS.
"The Relation OF Scholarship TO Pubic Cues
lions" was in the form OF an address by Mr..
james W. Patterson, before the r. Blk. Society,
and was received with great applause
1t is q very obvious and very old truth that
conduct and character are an expression OF
inner life. Gas he tninketn in his heart so is ne,v
Is both an ancient and modern proverb. There
is a constant fix between the natural and IN
natuTai the perishable and imperishabie. As the
universe is a glorious emanation OF the thought
oil God SO human history Is the transcendent ex-
preston OF the soul OF man. Civilization s but
the aggregate product OF intellectual culture.
Greek eloquence and literature were superior TO
that OF Egypt because the Greek intellect mad
whether found IN song or In verse, has
a wizard power which masters all things.
The influence OF single 0controing mind
