THE IMPROVEMENTS.
Many efforts have been made to improve
the condition Of the school buildings
themselves. An addition of three rooms
has been made to the High School, which
viii obviate the necessity OF renting the
portion of a neighboring house. These
rooms VIII be furnished with new desks,
and new ones will replace the most dilapi-
GATED in the other rooms.
The CoIored Normal has been painted
and kalsomined and the rooms have been
rearransed. "A janitOr's house has been
built at Madison, and an additional school,
room and janitor's quarters have been
added to Bellevue. At the West END
School new patent closets have replaced
the old ones, and a janitor'S house has
been built.
Besides these improvements the inciden-
tai repairs necessary after a season of
disseminating and the general wear and
tear of school life have been made.

THE MEDICAL COLLEGE.
There has been but one change in the
faculty Of the Medical College of Virginia.
DIR. I5nnion G. Williams having been
elected Professor of Histology, Pathology,
and BacterioioSy, to fill the vacancy ere
ated by the resignation of DR.. Z. c. Levy.
A marked improvement in the comfort
and convenience of the three principal lee
ture halls has been made by furnishing
them with opera chairs and handsome new
desks.
a most important adjunct to the teach
ing facilities of the college viii be the
magnificent Charlotte Williams Hospital,
Which is now being erected at Broad and
Twelfth Streets in this city. The faculty
OF this college have been invited to become
the visiting staff of the new hospital, an
invitation which carries with it the exclu-
sive right to use the, hospital and its clini-,
cad material for teaching purposes. AS
this will be the largest hospital between
Baltimore and New Orleans, and will be
butt for hospital purposes exclusively and
planned on the most scientific hySlenic
principles. its value to this college and
the community at large can hardly be
oYerestimated.
The session at the college will open on
October 3D. and, judging from the CORE
>s1londence during the summer, will be q
most successful one
UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
The session of 1850 to 1901 of Union Thee
logical Seminary will be formally opened
IT 4:so p. NJ. on Wednesday, the 18th OF
September, with address to the student
body by the chairman for the year, the
Rev Prof. Girens B. Stricken, D. d.,
Ill. D. This address, though designed
for the student body, and of special inter
est and importance to them, would. no
doubt, prove attractive to- the intelligent
public generally. and their presence is
desired by the friends of the seminary.
The Very commodious and handsome
chapel the second great gift to the lnstl-
tuition from Mr.. George w. Watts OF Dur
ham. n. c.. has been completed already,
and will be used in its finished condition
for the first time on the occasion of the
opelSng.
The faculty looks forward in good hopes
OF another prosperous session. Like
most of the evangelical churches IN
America at this time. the Southern Pres
byterian Church has relatively few can
didates for the ministry. Union Seminary
cannot hope for q very large Junior class
this session, therefore; but there are
already about twenty new applicants.
These, together with the men of the inter
mediate and senior classes, will make
about seventy Oh the roll from the start,
even If no others appear. But good
many more are confidently expected
The Rev. Walter L. Lingle. Dalton, Ca,
has been secured as assistant 10 Professor
". W. Moore in the teaching OF ms
classes-those in Oriental archaeology ana
Old Testament Interpretation. Mr.. Llngie
has in The past rendered the seminary
valuable services as teacher, having been
tutor On Hebrew for two years. In the
judgment of the faculty he, has very
exceptional scholastic equipment for the
services now expected Of him, ana pos
sesses distinguished gifts as teacher.
Dr.. Moore VIII be largely taken up Tor
some months in the endeavor TO raise
materially the endowmentS OF the semi
nary and the s.. 0O2, coo fund for the Church.
But he is to keep his hands on MS course,
and to give, as opportunity oifeTs, some
months of lectures.
