RAMLINE UNIVERSITY.
The large Attendance and General Pros
perity of the Institution.

perity of the Institution.
School at Hamline opened for the year
with an enrolment of 100 students.
The number greatly surprised the most
hopeful of the faculty and friends of the
university, but good accommodations
were found for all who came and for those
who may come during the term.
Often the gentlemen students who at
tend Hamline are surprised by being
asked if they are studying for the minis
try. Many of the friends who belong to
the division of the church, under Whose
controlS the university is managed, think
that the school is for theological students
alone, whereas there is at present no course
beside the regularspreparatory and college
curriculum.
During the present term the new college
hall. erected on the site OF the one burned
in February, will be entirely completed
and ready for use at the beginning OF the
winter term.
A large boiler house, which will contain
apparatus enough to heat both the college
and ladies' hall, is nearly completed.
There is no similar institution in the
west which has had better facilities or better
buildings at as early period OF its exist
ence as has Hamline. Improvements of
every kind are being made.
A large supply of philosophical and
chemical apparatus has been ordered from
Europe and will soon be on hand.
For the accommodation of the public
and students a sidewalk has been made
from the college TO the depot.
Taking everything inro consideration
Hamline is on the high road to success.
Prominent among the facilities of edu-
cation are the literaries connected with the
school.
There are at present three regular Or
ganizations and one oratorical associa-
ton. e~''
The Hamline literary society, the lead
ing society, has about fifty members, and
is composed of both ladies and gentlemen.
