college is very bright.

educators in the east speaking of our
catalogue in terms of highest praise

fed their intention to take the:Post
Graduate Course, and begin it next
September.
The State Board of Irrigation has
decided to put an irrigation station
at the College, and it will not be
long until it will be in operation.
Stark Bros, of Louisiana, No., sent
fine donation and a good variety of
trees, nearly all of which are growing
we'll.
Our friend Irwin Mudgett, who is
also nurseryman, and is caring for
the College grounds, furnished $50
shade trees.
We had several hundred shade
trees already growing, and now with
these additions-fruit, evergreen,
shade trees and shrubbery-of large
and rich variety, and waterworks
furnished by the state, we hope to
keep them growing.
We already have the most beauti-
full College Campus in the west, and
expect it to grow into still greater
beauty as the years 60 by.
Our College catalogue is now pub
lished and ready for distribution. It
is gem of beauty in every way, and
contains full information about the
College, the courses of study. and
the advantages it offers. If You want
one let us know and we will send it.
Our College has several friends
who are in the nursery business in
this and other states, and they re-
membered us this spring with fine
donations of trees, shrubbery, etc.,
which we have planted and greatly
appreciate.

etor of the nursery at Sedgwick, in
this state, donated three hundred
fruit trees, about 295 of which are
living and doing well.
Mr.. D. Hill, of Dundee, ILL.,, do
mated eight hundred small ever
greens and one hundred other trees,
all of fine varieties. It is difficult to
get evergreens to grow in this eli
mate, but these are doing reasonably
we'll and we hope to save half of them
or more.
Messrs. J. D. Carpenter l. Co., of
Fairbury, Neb., donated $50 fruit and
evergreen trees. All the fruit trees
and few Of the evergreens are living
and doing we'll.

am profoundly impressed with the
marvellous work you have already
accomplished, and with the bright
future which I am sure awaits Soule
College
The school is on a solid financial
basis. It has no debts, is not making

friends who propose to stand by it

colleges in the country.
Since the last issue of this paper
the editor has received the Degree of
Doctor of Divinity, from University
in the east, and is assured, in letter
from the Chancellor, that cit is con-
ferred because of distinguished mer-

grees after having completed long,
hard courses of study, of three and
four years in each case, and hence
felt that in some measure, he earned
them. he now wishes that he might
be able to wear this degree in such a
way. as not to contradict the iudg-
ment of the Faculty and Board of
Trustees who conferred it.
