not leave the public without increasing
evidence of vigorous and solid growth.
OF these the reader will hear later. Last
year the whole community was shaken
by the agitation of the removal ques-
tion; to-day the magnificent triumph of
those who fought it through the fears of
opposition is to be read in two places:
in the astonishing development of the
college in the last twelve months, and in
the magnificent gifts of land and build
ing and endowment at Durham. If a
policy ever has vindicated itself, that of
the removal of Trinity has gotten it, and
has not been long about it.
To-day is the beginning of az effort to
raise the endowment to $4,000 by
Sept. 1891, the time of the opening al
Durham. AS a start to that end the
graduating class yesterday appeared be-
fore President CroweIl ard announced
that they had decided to make SUBJ
scription of 500 apiece, making $1,000
in all to the endowment The younger
alumni will not be left behind in the ef-
fort to secure this amount. It is pro-
posed to relieve President Crowell as far
as practicable to raise this balance of
about $12O, 600 in the next year. He
will still lecture in his specialties to the
classes in the School of Political and
Social Science on the subjects of Finance,
Statistics, Railroads, Industrial History
and Administrative Law.
The college Office is the scene of busy
life. Two or three clerks are at work
sending cut the catalogues, announce
ments and circulars. The annual cat
alogue has changed its character in the
arrangement of its contents. 1t is made
up of three parts: The Register, con-
tanning list of students, the Faculty
and the body of general information re-
iation to the history, organization, gov
ernmenU and purpose of the college.
The second part is an announcement
of the academic department of the first
two years of the college courses. The
methods of study and the subjects taught
are described as corresponding with
those Of the German Gymnasia-a plan
which suggests the most thorough dis
cip!ine of mind and body. The third
part of the catalogue goes to an an
nouncement of the schools of the scho-
lastic department. In these the enor-
NOUS developing energy of the college is
to be seen. The school of engineering
has made wonderful progress in a year.
This year its scholars have spent much
time in the field, and as result have
surveyed every inch of railroad seven
miles in length, making every calcula-
tion and measurement for bridging,
trestle work and filing and ex-
cavatiOn up to the point of
putting on the rolling stock.

instruments with which this school has

friend Of the college living in the
north. This year philosophical Latin
aud English have gained greatly. Prof.
Welch in the former has accomplished q
good deal in the way of opening the
Latin classics to the philosophical stu
dent. Prof. Armstrong has issued thre'
parts of his Grammar of English will
very gratifying results. Prof. E. A

Preparatory School.
A preparatory school for boys will b.
opened September 4th, under the man
agement Of the faculty of Trinity college
the primary object of which is to pre-
pare boys for college, and to give t
those who do not intend to go to colleg
good elementary education. We coul
fill the columns of the CHRONICLE abou
Trinity, but must content ourselve
with what we have said for this time.
