THE FEMALE COLLEGE.
Your remarks, Mr.. Editor. in your last issue
on the college were literally true. The col
lege is non.sectarian, but christian Influences
are brought TO bear In all Its surroundings
Anyone wishing TO avail themselves OF
practicable, high grade, christian education
| would do we'll to consult President Iodd
The climate is all that could be desired: UNI
prices most reasonable. the standard the very
highest. and the faculty the equal, II not the
| superior, OF any In the state.
NOT FROM CHARLOTTE.
Some people are vain enough to think they
are qualified for any position, especially pres
ident OF O male college. Should we be 20 un
fortunate as to need one, am sure we will
not import one from Charlotte, n. Z.

| great loss to Due West. Mr.. ). j. Todd vii
