Long before the, appointed hour the
crowd begun to assemble at the College,
and continued to pour In until the chapel
and its entrances were packed, and many
turned away unable to get within hearing
or seeing distance.
Richmond College is evidently growing
In the estimation Of our people, who are
coming to recognize that an institution
which brings to the very doors Of our citi-
zens the highest college advantages should
be highly priced and literally patronized.
In the ability, scholarship. and character
OF its Faculty, the standard OF scholarship
required in its graduates, and the moral at
mospherc OF the College, Ithe citizens OF
Richmond are realizing that they have an
institution Of which Judge Christian well
said, at is an honor to the city and to the
| State"
And while the College is under the con-
| troll Of one denomination, yet, as several
denominations are represented In Its Board
| OF Trustees, three OF it's professors belong
| to other Churches, and nothing sectarian is
ever taught in its lecture-rooms, it is not
surprlsing;that among its students all creeds
are represented, and that the College has
been educating many sons Of clergymen
and other prominent citizens OF other de-
