President FeIrs Report TO the Board
OF Visitors.

President Fell. OF 81 Johns College
submitted bis annual rerori Al the meet
ing Of the Board Of vi isors and GOV.
ernors. In Baltimore yester az. from
which we make the following extracts:

ton OF the college men, is fully occu
pied, and some men have been compelled
20 seek quarters In the town Humphrey
Hall, occupied by the younger students.
can still provide accommodation for a
few more.
The valuable additions made To the
faculty by the board prior TO the opening
OF the session have greatly strengthened
the teaching force and enabled the col
lege TO offer advanced courses in various
subjects. of which many students have
gladly availed themselves.
THE preparatory school is also work
ing satisfactorily under the principalship
of Professor Cain. The first class Of
this school is large and consists mainly
of young men, who presented themselves
for naturalization in the college. but
were found insutficiently prepared TO
pass the required examinations. The
class, therefore, contains excellent ma
terisl for the formation Of large fresh
man class next year. The average OF
age in this class Is seventeen and a-half
years and comprises twenty eight mem
bers.
The subject OF athletics and intercol-
legiate contests has received much con-
sideration from the faculty, and though
they can plainly see that grave Obiec-
lions can be consistently raised to an
unchecked indulgence in these games
they believe that most of these obiec
lions can be obviated by wise aDd pru-
| dent management of athletic interests.
The advantages 20 be gained both by
students and the college are too great To
be ignored or TO permit any absolute
prohibition of them.
I'm all the literary departments Of the
college able and progressive work Is be-
ing accomplished, as can be learned from
| the detailed reports submitted by the
professors In charge of the respective
departments.
"In conclusion | would refer with
pleasure TO the agreeable and harmonious
relations which exists between the com
| ponent parts that constitute the college,
namely, the board of visitors, the presi-
dent. the faculty and the students, aud
would characterize these as the sential
factors which are promoting the pro-
gress and prosperity of this venerable
institution of Maryland
The board of visitors acquiesced in the
suggestions and recommendations OF
President Fell. and authorized the ne
cessary appropriations TO carry on the
work in his charge The members Of the
board present were j Sbaaff Stockett.
