Mrs. Sanford comes to us highly
recommended and admirably fitted
for the position she now occupies.
For number of years she has been
engaged in college work., being
lately connected with Hamilton Col
lege in department of modern Ian
guages, as instructor Of French and
German, and previous to this was
for three years an instructor in
Shelbyville Female College. She
comes of an old New England family
and has spent several years in travel
and residence abroad, both in Eng
land and on the continent. 1t is the
wish of all that Mrs. Sanford may
find her work and association on the
Hill in the highest sense pleasant
and agreeable.

ly number of students. More stu

usually is at this season of the year.
The war has taken some of our
students away and has also prevented
some from coming who would other

ranks must be filled. From the
present prospects it appears that we
shall have very prosperous year,
