having suspended operations, Prof.
j. G.. Dunsmore, president of the

James Willis, principal of the semi
nary, have arranged With the Board
of Trustees for q lease of the property
for five years. Professor Dunsmore

Willis is the vice-president of the
Dunsmore Business College and will
be a member of the faculty.
The seminary will be known as the
Dunsmore Business College. The
buildings rest on a most prominent
and beautiful site, overlooking the
entire city, as well as the surround
ing picturesque scenery, affording a
most delightful view from the Blue
Ridge to the Allegheny mountains.
The site is in a retired part of the
city, SO that the quiet OF 81 country
location is secured, while the adyan-
tages of a city are always at com
mand. The grounds comprise more
than an entire city square, and are
'ornamented with turf, large shade
trees and beautiful walks. A better
site for a business college could not
have been selected. No other bust
ness college in the United. States will
have better facilities and accommO-
.dations for educating and preparing
young men and women for the prac-
teal responsibilities OF a business
career and life. Unlike other schools
OF this kind, the Dunsmore Business
College will offer it's students a study
and recitations rooms in it's own
buildings.

ago, and chartered by the Legisla-
ture of Virginia, November 20, 1884. 1t
