LOCATION.
The Woman's College buildings are To-
Gated In one of the healthiest and quiet
est, yet at the same time most attractive
sections Of the city. Its management ia
vested In a board OF trustees. with DIR
Nelson as the chief executive officer OF
the school. and while Il IL controlled bv
the Baptist denomination, II IS in no
sense sectarian. The class standard is I'D
to the collegiate mark In every respect
In every department, the organization is
thorough. and an ADLER corps of instruct
ors cannot be found In any similar jnsti-
tuition In the country. What is more, these
instructors DO conscientious work. DIR.
Nelson Is born manager lie rules firm
~ but kindly; has n scrupulous regard
Tor his obligations TO the patrons OF the
college. and his corps OF assistants is
imbued with the same spirit that animates
him. The equipment OF the college Is OF
the highest order. every possible comfort
and convenience is provided for the pupil
and within its walls is the nearest APP
proximaton to home life and influences
that can be found outside OF the home
Itself Mental and moral training 20
hand In hand. and the young lady who
graduates from the Woman's College is
finished In the noblest sense Of that word.

Passing stranger, drop a tear;
As YOU wander. lightly tread;
Look with love. and softly speak;
Here are sleeping southern dead.
But no sculptured shaft is theirs;
Just the mystic word. Unknown,
Telling where the heroes lie,
Craven on bit of stone.
When the summer DAYS drawn nigh,
And the roses ope their blooms,
Their surviving comrades lay
All the brightest on their tombs.
When the silvery wells OF night
Span the vauted arch above.
Angels from the cloudand world
Hover ON their wings of love.
H-1W
On the hillside let them sleep.
Peacefully and sweetly there,
Meath the dome Of heavens blue
And the angels loving care.

its buildings Will not accommodate all
who may wish to seek the advantages Of

why DR.. Nelson should have hearty CO.
