gant0wn.

The people of Morgantown may
by little enterprise and effort, bene.
fit themselves and the community
greatly, help the University very
much, and render valuable service
to the cause of higher education
They may do it in this way!
l. They may furnish the money,
in subscriptions, in loans, or in stock,
to put up building, or buildings
for boarding school for girls-a
Ladies Annex to the University
for dorimitories, dining rooms, mu.
sic rooms, DC, with suitable furnish.
ings and surroundings.
2. Those who furnish the money
for this enterprise may choose q
board of trustees, or directors, to ar.
range for and manage a college for
women.
With such accommodations and
such board, the college can be es-
tablished and carried on In this
way:
l. The girls can be matriculated
as students in the University, and
take the University courses, or such
part of them as may be desirable, as
the academic curriculum of the col
lege.
2. Music, art, &c, can be provid
ed for the girls by the college, and
they will pay for their cost
3. Any necessary preparatory
work that the girls may not be al
lowed to take in the University, car
be provided by the college, and will
pay for its cost
The advantages Of such an ar
rangement are obvious, and are sc
great as to insure its success. They
are, in part, these;
/. The curriculum made up o.
University studies and courses, to
gether with the music, art, &c, pro
vided by the college, will be az
good as that given in any female
college in the whole country.
3. The college will have the ser
vices of the University Faculty and
the use and benefit of the University
courses and equipments as fully as
if these belonged to it, and 'cithou
the cost of a cent, except the insig
nificant naturalization and othel
fees.
3. The girls will have as good (
as good fare, as good care, as good
superintendence, as good advantage
in every way, as they can have il
the best female colleges, and at cos
far 6elo'o the expenses IN such col
leges.
a. A reasonable price for room
rent and board, and reasonable rate
of tuition for music, art, preparation,
studies, &c, will, with 80 or NOR,
students, make an income sufficien
to pay good per cent on the none,
put into the plant, and for such su
perintendence, instruction and ser
vice as may be necessary to keep tn
concern in operation.
can now give only bare outlin
of the scheme. cannot go into de
tails, or mention one in ten of tn
arguments in its favor that occur t,
me.
Why not have such a college
such an Annex? Young ladies will
come to it from all over the state
and from other states. 1t will be
great thing for Morgantown. as wei
as for the University. 1t will remov
almost every conceivable objection
to co education in the University,
| hope this matter will be consid
cred. If it is practicable, let it b
done. There are beautiful sites 70
such an Annex near the Universit,
grounds. If the money can be oh
tanned, those who furnish it can b
secured from loss, and somebody will
be found to manage the concern ant
make it success. 1t might b
started on moderate scale, to Sc
how it will work. The building
might be put in such shape as to b
used for residences, in case the Ell
terprize should not prove to be
success.
Let us have the matter looked in
to and fully discussed.
