clearly shows the character and extent of
the institution. During the year just
closed there were enrolled 5S4 students,
of whome 403 were gentlemen and 1872
ladies. These students represented n
counties in Kansas, and IA other states
and counties. The graduating class
numbered 25 gentlemen and 10 ladies'
During the 80 years of its existence, the
college has received nearly 1000 students
about a third of whom were young wo-
men. Most of them have come from
farmers homes. and after from three
months to three years of study, have gone
back to such homes without graduation.

A large number of the friends ard
neighbors of Rev. Walker and family
met at their residence last Wednesday
evening. Rev. Walker will shortly re-
move to Ottawa, Kansas, and this gather
ing was intended as mark of apprecia-
ton of his efforts as pastor and citizen
for nearly seven years. Rev. Wilson pre-
sented sum of money on behalf of the
donors, and Rev. Walker responded in a
feeling manner. He said he liked the
people of western Kansas, and liked
western Kansas, but that duty seemed to
call him hence at this time. Thought
that possibly they might see their way
clear to return in the future. Refresh
ments were served after which all retired
with the kindliest feelings for the family
and fervent wish that their lines may be
cast in pleasant places in the future, and
that full measure of success may. be
melted out to them wherever they may go.
