II will doubtless seem strange TO the

Prof. Roemer took charge Of the Linsly
in February, lSSS, with an attendance OF
IL. His second year opened up with an en-
rolmcnt of g. Last year the enrolment
was a.. so il will be seen his administration
has been very successful. He conceived
the idea of making the Linsly
a Government institution under the
law of 1854, and communicated with the
Navy Department. favorable consideration
being given to the matter as printed in the
REGISTER at the time. The standard OF the
school has been raised and students, EN-
inently prepared, have entered number OF
our best universities and colleges. Prof.
Roemer will attend the law department OF
the University of Virginia, but intends to
retain Wheeling as his home, and Will To-
cate here when ready 10 be admitted 10 the
bar.
Prof. Birch has had charge of the Linsly
before, and under his administration IT
was in highly flourishng condition.
That he will carry forward the
good work commenced by Prof. Roemer
and make the institution one of the leading
schools of its kindin the country, no one
who knows his ability rs an instructor and
disciplinarian will doubt for an instant.
and he will be warmly welcomed back to
the city and school. II is expected he will
arrive here about the middle Of August.
The Board of Trustees is contemplating
the erection Of an addition to the build
ing in which win be located an armory.
drill room, gymnasium etc, and it is hoped
they will conclude to do so.
