! Dr.. Morrison, head of the Paramount
college, writing to the editor of the
Eagle, says:
will you give me space in the Eagle
for a brief statement respecting Fair
mount college?
Paramount is proud to consider it
self Wichita Institution. its interests
in all respects are identified with the
/ interests OF the cityeven the enemies
of the one are the enemies of the other.
THE first year of Paramount as col
lege has ended and the second year is
about to open, with greatly improved
prospects. Under all the circumstances
the former years work may be account
ed eminently satisfactory. Progress
was made on many lines.
We have made enlarged prepara-
tons for the opening year. Our accom-
modations for students and our facili-
ties for imparting instruction are en-
larged and improved. though the gen
e.ai depression in business has prevent
ed doing as much in this direction as
We had intended.
There is assurance OF muc11 increase
in the attendance of students, especial
~ from the city. II is especially graft
flying that so large a number of grad
uates from the excellent city High school
have signified their intention to enter
our freshman class Apparently this
class will number from twenty to TWEEN
ty-five. a remarkable fact for the sec
ond year in young college. and with
out a pareiiel in the history of the Edu-
cation Society Of Boston, which has ex-
tended over the period OF more than
fifty years and includes the founding
Of some forty different colleges
Our faculty is doubled. and inciudese
instructors whose culture represents
the best training Of our best American
colleges.
