OUR STATE UNIVERSITY.

The University of Mississippi is
an insti tuition of learning in which
all Mississippians feel a just pride,
and being an Old-established and
successful school has a reputation
extending far beyond the limits of
our own State, as will be seen from
the number of students in attend
ance from abroad. The university
was established in 1S4S, and has
grown in Importance and useful.
ness until now it stands foremost
among the institutions of learning
in America i'll all that is essential
to acquiring a thorough education.
1t has an able and efficient faculty,
a full curriculum of studies, a high
grade of scholarship, gives n thor
ough training, has fine buildings, a
splendid campus, has well supplied
libraries, musuem, and all the ap-
planes for the acquisition of a
higher education.
Located at Oxford, on the New
Orleans, st. Louis and Chicago
railroad, it is easy of access, is i'm
a healthy, moral town, distinguish
ed tor its schools, its churches and
its society, and is the home of SEN
ator Lamar, and of many distin-
guished men of the past. There
never has been a case of yellow
fever at Oxford, and as all precau-
tionary measuses are taken to keep
the fever out, perhaps there never
will be a case there.
The chancellor of the university
is well-known to us all, being none
other than the distinguished Lieut.
Gen. A.. p. Stewart, of the Confed-
crate army. There are nine profes.
sors, including the chancellor, six
lecturers, n principal of the pre-
paratory department, and three
tutors, making afaculty of thirteen
able teachers and six lecturers.
There are twenty-five university
buildings besides a cluster of
boarding houses, six hundred and
forty acres of university land, all
the necessary apparatus, etc.
There is no excuse for our boys
and young men going away from
home to acquire an education. The
university of Mississippi is
L. Our own State university.
9. 1t is one OF the best in the
whole country.
