deal, as perfectly reliable men are
scarce.

private letter yesterday from Mr..

Chicago, from which we take the
liberty to quote the following
that will be read with interest by
his many friends here:
Gam nicely situated out here, and
am delighted with the Seminary.
1t is indeed a great institution
We have about $50 students, IS of
which are in the junior class and more
are expected 1t is very great pleas
ure to study under such a learned
faculty, and to be associated with so
many students from many parts of
the world. There are two from
Japan, two from Wales, one from
Scotland, two from England, one
from Ireland, two from Canada, and
then boys from all parts of the
United States. There are many
sources of amusement, but none like
those of good, old ATHENS" My
thoughts often wander back to those
good old times" Would that 1
were but "prep" in the sacred hills
of my dear alma mater Kindest
rememberances to all the boys"
