Preparatory Department..
The usual closing exercises of the pre-
paratory department of the college were
dispensed with this year. 1t is the inten-
ton of the college heads, at some future
day, to bring the preparatory department
home-that is, within the boundaries of the
mother grounds. 1t is vaguely thought
present college observatory. Though the
project is but at present in its infancy, 1t
Is said that proper specie nourishment
would cause 1t to quickly materialize into
very visible proportions.
