AN ENvIABLE RECORD
Made BY the Virginia College Last Sea-
son.

The Virginia College For Young
Ladies has achieved success in the
first year Of its history that is truly
phenomenal. 1t opened it's first session
less than one year ago, under circum
stances the most discourAging, when
business was paralyzed, monetary panics
prevailing, and in the darkest hour of
the great financial gloom which over
spread tho entire country. Yet in tho
face Of these adverse circumstances,
the Virginia College in the opening
week was filled with pupils coming
most successful year, closed It's first
annual session with 1S4 pupils on
its rolls, representing seventeen States.
The people of Roanoke should ap-
preciate the blessings OF such school
of such superior and advanced facilities
for the higher education OF their daugh
tiers. 1t has directed sttention to the
Magic City from all parts Of the country,
and adds increased attractions to this
city as an educational as we'll as great
business center.
Let all citizens who feel an interest
in the growth and prosperity of Rosnoke
rally heartily to the support OF an en-
terprise which is doing such great
work for the people and city as an edu
cational enterprise.
1t is the aim of DR. Harris, the presi-
dent, to keep the Virginia College in
the front rank Of the leading schools OF
its kind in this country. To the able
faculty of last year he has added sew
eral able and accomplished professors
and teachers.
The department. OF English literature
will be filled by i specialist singularly
qualified for this important work. The
department Of Mathematics, Latin and
Physics will be filled by Prof Thos. D.
Davidson, A. M. and Phi. D., of Prince
ton University, who has wide repu-
tation as an educator. The department
of lectures on moral and mental phil
osophy will be filled by Rev. Edward b.

and PHI. d. Of Yale College, who is noH

Quoted by Mrs. Katherine e. Bum, who
was trained under private masters, also

The department of voice culture will
be conducted by Mrs. Elizabeth b. Sill
verthorn, graduate OF the New Eng
land Conservatory of Music, and in
Milan Italy. Mrs. Silverthorn has
high reputation as = gifted vocalist and
as a successful teacher OF singing
The outlook for the school for the
ensuing year is bright and encouraging,
and, with its past success, fine buildings
and such nigh educational advantages,
gives promise of even greater work in
the future than in the past.
