No President of the University was
elected, and that matter is to be deter
mined in the future.
The present week has beeu mostly Ia
ken up by the exercises of the South
Western Baptist University and the Pres
byterian Female College. The commo-
I dious Baptist church, on Monday and
Tuesday nights, was crowded to over
flowing by the very eiite of Jackson soci-
ETY., who showed their appreciation Of the
University by their presence and the pro
found attention paid to the exhibition Of
the Oratorical powers of the younger and
older students. The performances of the
students, old and young, spoke more
than we could write of the capacity and
/ good taste Of the Professors of the South
! western Baptist University. 1t Is an in
stitution Of learning of which jackson is
justly proud, and under present manage
mcut, VIC predict it viii ere long number /

rate with its greatand undoubted merits. |

ses at the church, on the evenings of
