together with high sense OF duty, con
strained him to leave his dear people

anoke.
A short time ago he wrote us: "1n
few days | will tear asunder five hun
dIed ties that bind me to Shepherds
town, in order to obey the voice of
duty"

added to the distinguished Faculty they
already had, and President Dreher in

if Roanoke don't advance rapidly TO the
front, then it will not be for the want
of ability on the part Of her Faculty.
