CENTENARY COLLEGE.


Centenary College would % 81 intsrsatl
to you and yonr many readers, venture
the following upon tho success and con.
dition Of tho College, together with ;
brief account Of our public debate. W.
have LOG students enrolled, majority |
Of whom are In the College Classes, and
from the assurances given us, We have
reason to believe that orr numbers will /
be greatly augmented In January. The /
students arc from Ill portions Of this and
the adjoining state, Mississippi, showing /
that the claims VI home institutions ore
being pressed npon the people and that
they recognize their importance and are
determined to support them. A promi-
nent feature to be observed III this insti.
tuition Is the harmony that peryades and
the feeling Of good will which exists DO
tween professors and students. /
We have not at any time lately been
afforded the pleasure Of boisting about
numbers, but u hos ever been our pride
to assert that the young men OF Centen-
nry could vic with the students Of any
College. morally and intellectually. Now
We do not make this assertion exultine,
IT, but we feel when we utter such, u
statement Tint It ia correct. The build
inrs are in somewhat Of a dilapidated
condition and to nm outward observer
tend to produce a bad impression. vet II
we would accurately scrutinize the con-
dition Of affairs and thoroughly examine
into things. we could not fail to be- i'm.
pressed fayorab,y and acknowledge that
Centenary POSSESSES superior advantages
for the development and moulding OF
the Youthful mind and character.
Under the ablo management Of Dir.
Andrews the College can but ,,e SUCCESS

which he is not truly deserving. > We
prsdict for the College u glorious future
and think the day Is not far distant,
when Centenary shall enrobe herself
