roll at the head of which stands written
the names of Gov. l.. S. Ross, as future
president of the institution. This COL
lege does not wish to stand as trade
school merely, but place where young
men may receive q broad aud liberal
training in all the sciences and arts that
contribute to useful citizenship in the
pursuit of all productive industries. So
it is the business of the college to turn
the attention of young men from the
crowded learned professions to those oc-
equations that have brought wealth and
power to older states, and which are be-
ginning to attract attention and repay
services of trained men here. This is
sought to be attained by thorough
courses of instruction in the sciences,
allied with continual practical applica-
ton. The student Is taught to seek in
formation directly from observation and
experiment, and the dignity of intelli-
gent labor is inculcated. The courses of
instruction by which these ends are eff
fected are varied, and the mechanical
advantages of the institution are amply
set forth in the catalogue. In q growing
state like this, with the professions kept
crowded by immigration, our youth
would do well to give the choice of a
life work due consideration. The prac-
teal man has great advantages in new
country. Such an education is afforded
at the A. s. Nj. College.
