From what we learned during the time
we spent at this college Of its management,
accommodations and facilities, we feel
convinced that the young man or young
woman who is energetic, wide awake and
honestly ambitious to do more than exist
will do well to enter the ranks of its busy
workers

offered Prof. Wood tempting price fol
the school, which was accepted, and Scran
ton was selected as the new field TO- thu
establishment of college under his nam'
which is now located on the corner o
Lackawanna s. Penn avenues. The bu lid

| Wood, is heated by steam and offers al
comforts to its students that modern inge
nuity has been able TO invent. 1t is il
every way progressive institution. o.
