particular fer college work. they con
structed after the most improved
and scientific IDEAS Of college building.
We suppose there are few, if any,
buildings IN the Southern States that are
equal TO them in comforts and conven-
fences. The boys sleeping rooms are
constructed for health and comfort
They are elegantly furnished. We are
sure that nothing more could be deslreC
~ for them. We have never seen bette
4 beds than the boys at New Trinity ar

- The furniture fer these rooms was g
