Explanation from the Executive Com
mittee Of H. F. C. Trustees.

From the following card it will be
seen that our statements of last week in
regard to the withdrawal OF DIR. ]. f.
Lloyd from the College were incorrect
and we cherefully give space to the arti-
Gle which corrects our mistake.
EDITOR NEWS. s.HERALD-Ani item re-.
lating to the college in your paper Of last
week is liable, through misstatement, to
seriously mislead the public. We be.
lieve both you and the people Of this
whole region are deeply interested In the
very far from doing 1t Intentional dam.

Hillsboro and the college have just
we confidently expect they will have
ulatiOns. 1t is true that our esteemed
friend, DR.. Lloyd, is no longer Presi.
dent, but 1t is also true that he did not
"resign to take effect Immediately"
DR.. Lloyd has labOred faithfully through
nine years for the building up OF the
college. He achieved such success In
his work as to graduate class of six
in 1883, another class of six In 1884, one
of ten In 1886 and the class of eight,

ed sucli enthusiasm, only few weeks
sgo. These facts speak for themselves,
and taken in connection with the
thOroughness of the work as evidenced
by the character and the scholarship of
the graduates, they speak In no uncer.
tain words as to the success of the
college. Having labOred thus diligent-
ly and effectively, he desired In the
early part of the past year to retire
from the responsibilities of the Presi.
dency ut the end of the year, and before
his effective years had passed, do some
more work In the pastnrate. With
this purpose, last April he notified US
that lie did not desire to be q candidate
for reelection to the Presidency. A
little later he offered to continue for
"anOther year" on certain conditions.
The whole matter was held under ad.
visement until about the last of June,
when the Trustees formally acquiesced
In his declinature and passed All action
expressive of their very high esteem
for him, and thus with the best OF good
will between the parties the decision
was taken to have change. E
Financially, the College has never
been run to make money-nor should
1t ever be. 1t Is, according to its char.
ter, an institution "for the promotion
Of religion, education and morality
among females, and for nothing else, !"
thus efiectually declaring its being q
money y-making institution for the ben.
eft of stockholders or others, any more
than the public schools or the churches.
It should, Of course, reasonably remu.
muDerate those engaged in the teach
ing. This 1t has done, especially dur.
ing the last few years. We speak from
official figures, but the public will, Ol
course, excuse US from details. II, how
ever, our friends will give the college Q
very much larger patronage, the man

the facilities Of the college In every d.
rection. Afs
We desire the people everywhere Il
understand that the college 10 to pur'
sue its usual course without iIterrup
ton, and that the fall term will begil
ct the time appointed, viz. Septembe
14th, 1885. We are not yet In position I,
definitely announce DR.. LOyd's success
sOr, but we confidently expect to b
able to Ill the place with man q
! such abilities as will, with the heart
cooperation of the patrons and friend
of the college, make It o greater success
; than 1t has ever yet been.
