A1ENfPFI1s TENN,

/ Morrissana, n. Y. Imposing, capaclous,
exQnisitely finished within and without,
it is presided over by the Rev. w. Z.
| DuBose, a scholarly and elegant gentle
| man. The vice-chancellcT's reception
room is beautifully appointed. The 30
ciety-rooms vie with the chapel Tor honors
in decoration and beauty.
The Hodgson Library, a gift from the
present vice-chancellor, occupies a lovely
site on the hill facing present scolastic
| buildings. 1t is a gem of architectural
beauty, and a monument to the taste OF tho
| liberal donor. Science Hall has been add
ed and furnished in the last year. 1t is
| every way worthy a detailed description,
which space forbids. It is of peculiar value,
as it enables the students OF medicine 10
complete courses here which formerly
necessitated flight to othsT sources Tor use
of apparatus. The late Hon. Jacob Ihomp-
son, Of Memphis, was the principal agent
in this advancement and has been Tor
years helpful friend to the university.
For the present year large additions to
the hotel will contribute to the comfort OF
the parents and friends who yearly migrate
to "SeWanee Mount of Promise" Tor the
commencement exercises.
II is thought that reviewing its history
land no American college has as much IN
a given time) and its claims as the best
representative of the Episcopal Church in
America, there is every reason to believe
that assured patronage and gratuitous en-
dowment will crown the bishops life labor
by erection OF the magnificent buildings
which have been designed by William
Haley Wood, OF New York, consisting OF
a chapel, chapterhouse, tower aud cloister.
The plan and design occupy conspicuous
place in the deans room at st. Iuke's.
This probable event will speed the bishops
expressed wish, inspired by knowledge
OF the Church's need-"an educated laity
and anindigenous" ministry.
Reviewing the bishops life from this
twentieth anniversary of his acceptancecy
of the Episcopal Chair, nobility o. design,
steadiness Of purpose, command of expe-
dents, purity of life are impressed as con-
victions. Liberal to fault, which has
kept his private fortune embarrassed,
punctilious in observance of ritual, stimu
lating in his clergy the reliance upon sup
ernrtural guidance end assistance, digni-
flying the Apostolic commission by conf
dence in its efficacy, his example and the.
ology have strengthened and colored the
life-WoTk of all under his Jurisdiction and
influence.
Sitting at breakfast with the bishop and
his family this week in the mOrning-room
of Tedford, which has for so many years

"home," found it hard to realize that
a man so conscious of the little things of
life could, by such means and concerted
effort, bring ABOUT work so great, so
comprehensive
A delicate man physically, decisive
without abruptness, giving the humblest
pensioner upon his bounty precious time
Tor expression, yet has found time to
embroider IN the cloth Of gold of Ameri-
can church history Ia stitch at time)
figures of saints and soldiers whom pos
terity will trace to their "Alma Mater"
through the outlengthened line of bril-
liant retrospective professional.
AT last the Church in Tennessee is able
to do justice to her bishop. Six months
rest has been offered and accepted, after
which his residence viii De in Memphis,
city OF his youths success, and endeared,
as he himself expresses it, by exceeding
cordially and kindness" May his life be
>H,sared, like that Of the Rt. Rev. Moses
Green, D D, Bishop of mississippi, Chan
