"At the annual meeting of the Board
| in June existing vacancies were filled
by the election of n. B. Broughton, j.
| B. Boone, and w. {. Dowd.
The number of students enrolled
during the whole of the last session
was 22f. The registration for the pre-
sent session up to date is 243. OF these
IL are preparing to preach the gospel.
There is reason to hope that others will
enter tiie college within the next sixty
days.
"At no time in the history of the Col
lege has the health of the faculty and
student body been better than during
the last twelve months.
"All the chairs in the institution are
now filed and regular work is carried
on in every department.. At the an
nual meeting of the Trustees in June,
j. III. Gorrell, Ph. d., was muu@ full
professor and placed in charge OF rac
school of Modern Languages. y. l..
Gully, NJ. y. was made a full professor
and placed in charge of the school of
Law and Political Science. X. W. Hay
wood NJ. A., was made assistant pro-
fessor and work in the schools of Latin
and Greek was assigned him.
The success of the school Of Law
has been very marked and has even
succeeded the expectations of it's most
sanguine friends. And there is good
reason to believe that this is but the
earnest of larger things in the near
future.
The great majority of the students
are working with assiduty and success,
and are conducting themselves with
perfect decorum. The number of those
who are neglecting their opportunities
and are disposed to be mischievous is
small and will probably soon be small
er.
Many Of the friends of the College
have heartily endorsed the action of
the faculty in prohibiting all games of
foot ban except on the athletic grounds
of the institution.
In the absence of regular instruc-
tor in Blue studies. Prof W l.. Poteat
has done a most valuable and faithful
work in organizing and guiding a vol
untary movement among the students
in this direction. Prof w r. Royal is
expecting to do some special and regu-
lar work during the spring term with
the large number of young ministers.
A careful comparison, recently made,

larger proportion of students than for
many years past are regular attend
ants on Sunday .Jchool Instruction And
it may be doubted whether there is in
any college more steady glow of mis-
sionary zeal than is found at Wake
Forest
The President of the college was at
work in the field at large last session.
This session he has been almost con
stantly at the college. Since last July
all the agency work has devolved upon
key c. $. blanchard who has been seek
ing TO complete the endowment of the
Royal ssair- Hopeful progress has
been made, ut much remains to be ac-
complished Than the completion of
this special endowment no more inn
portant work is before the Baptists of
North Carolina. If our people only
knew the difficulties and financial eIn-
barrassments under which the Trus-
tees and Faculty are seeking to do the
great work committed 70 them and if
they could realize the opportunities
now before the college, they would
speedily put at the disposal of the
Trustees such means that the latter
would be unhampered in the admins
tration of this great trust"
