The University sef Mississippi at
Oxford.

The university has just closed
another successful year with bril-.
liant commencement.
At the annual meeting of the
board Of trustees just held, tue
trustees, including tue governor
as president, were so much pleased
with the condition, prospects aud
prosperity OF the university that
they have sigued and published IA

are doing well, aud endorsing the
faculty as competent aud 10 every
way suitable teachers, and assur-
ing tue people of the State that the
university Is IN excellent condition
aud rs in every respect worthy of
confidence and patronage.
We advise our people to read
what these trustees say-what
they say can be relied upon. They
are gentlemen appointed IRON all
over the State by the governor and
confirmed by the senate. They are
educated men of distinction aud
reputation. They labor for the uni.
versity without pay. Their interest
in the university is the same as that
OF every other citizen in Mississippi.
They have no interest in misrep-
rcsenting the facts. They have
thoroughly examined into tue uni.
Vel sity and now give il their un.
qualified endorsement.
They Recommend ii to the peo.
pie. They say that co education
OF tbe sexes there has proved
success. That the department,
standing aud scholarship OF the
students is excellent. That it is
cheaper than any ether university
or college in the South.
We eudose all that the trustees
say about it and add that we hope
OR Young people will never again

cation, but that they will crowd
the halls OF our own grand univer.
sity until it becomes the great uni.
