Mr.. Tednck said: "The prospect for a
large number of students is very fattering.
Many young ladies and gentlemen who
have been attending other institutions in
the state are expected to come to the in
stitute at the capital city this year. All
former students who desire to prosecute
their studies further are coming back as
far as heard from, and many new students
are expected from parts of the state as yet
unrepresented.
"Quite a number from east of the noun
tains are in correspondence regarding the
advantages of the o. c. 1. and have ex-
pressed their intention to attend. The list
of students at the institute last year was
considerably larger than that of any other
university, college or academy in the state.
"This year we start with two complete
| college courses, the classical and scientific,
leading to the degrees of A. B. and B. S. re-
| spectively. The academic course has
| been revised and better adapted as a pre-
paratory course. The normal and COM
mercial courses have been strengthened,
the commercial course leading to the de-
gree of b. @. S. These courses have been

the studies in the courses of liberal arts
and it is to be hoped the many young peO-
pie who desire liberal education will ayai
themselves of this opportunity.

greatly strengthened. Several educators
