OF the highest order and from;
sources OF undoubted character and eminent
ability to Judge of their merits and qualIfica-
tions.
Miss Ellie Stiff, who has been the teacher
of vocal music for the past two years, has
severed her connection with the college and
accepted u position in Rome, Georgia.
Miss Stiff is the pOssessor OF u wonderful
voice and her many excellent traits endeared
her to large circle of friends. She will be
followed TO her new home and future field of
labor by the earnest wishes of all that sue
cess may attend her. Her place will be filled
by Miss Hollis, whose advantage in the di
ferent cOnservatories of this country and sub
sequent Instructions from some of the best
masters of Europe have prepared her for
eminence in her profession. A true artistic
as vocalist, industrious and faithful US u
teacher, she educates in the best methods
known to the art of voice culture.
Miss Kramer. the principal Of the instru-
| mental music department, has no superior AS
u careful and conscientious teacher. Sac
| makes no mistakes in laying a sure founda-
| tion, and this secured she builds to compile
l ton and perfect finish. The performances OF
i her pupils this year was u surprise and won-
der to many Interested listeners, and coh-
trary to the almost universal verdict the in
strumental numbers ol the programme were
exceedingly entertaining. Her scholars
wherever they have gone clearly indicate the
superiority Of her methods as teacher by the
prominence they secure in musical circles,
| and In other Institutions. Already . larger
class than of ANY former year is assured. She
will be assisted by Misses Searcy and Prsther,
who have been under her instruction.
The familiar faces Of Misses Bryant, Waits
and Swayne will be seen again with the OPEN

womanly dignity, great learning and fine ex-
ecutive ability. The second with her vivac-
ty, quick perception and warm heart, and the
third with her stately carriage, well stored
mind and refined nature. These in their sew
eral departments, are not excelled as teach
ers Of worth and Distinction, and their ex-
ample is invaluable.
The popular president of the college is re-
! puted to be one of the finest disciplinarians
and managers to be found anywhere, and GER
tainly the success attending the college dur
ing his presidency fully sustains this reputa.
tion. No discordant elements or trouble of
any kind have disturbed or molested its pros
perity during his management, and he is ably
seconded by his excellent wife, whose sup
> erintendency of minor details and appoint
ments, and motheIly care of the students is
> of incalculsble benefit and assistance.
Before closing this article we deem it but
simple justice to mention one other name in
| connection with Central Female College. The
), man who has been to 1t as the old guard was
to Napoleon, or the Highlanders to Wellington.
The man who has stood, often solitary and
alone, as the only helmsman to guide safely
through the breakers of i'll success, and fl
nancial failure-thst man is VIM. Morrison
president of the board of curators, without
whose guidance, oversight and liberality thu
institution would have long since ceased tt
