DO pretty much what it was last year.
TIE school of history has been erected
into a separate chair while the Scnool
of astronomy has been made an inde-
rcndeut class. The trustees much de-
sired to establish a department OF bloSra-
ply. but this was inlpracticable as IN
volvinS an additional expenditure. "hich
the college at this time felt unable to
undertake. Since last year the trustees
have. authorized the establishments Of fell
lcwships and have taken other important
steps toward assisting worthy young men
in securing an education. Special arrange
ments have been made for the admission
of women at the college. Improved ar
engagements have been made for them
All the patrons of the college will be
delighted that President BoatwriSht dis
cerraSed the effort on the part OF Fur
man University to move him from Rlch-
mord. Only one new man will be in the
faculty this. year-Mr. c. c. Worthlngton,
who comes TO assist in the department
Of modern languages, allowing DR.. Boat
wright more time for administrative work.
One or two of the professors, however,
will occupy new positions. Professor S.
c Mitchell will be no longer connected
with the chair Of Latin, but will be the
occupant of the new chair of history.
Professor Foushee has been given a full
prctessorship and will take up Dr. Mitch

faculty will be as before.
In close connection with the opening OF
Richmond College will be the beginning
of work at the new Richmond Academy,
to be opened here. This academy and the
one at Newport News are the first VEN
TIRES in q scheme fer the building up af
a system of academies which will be trib-

The Woman's College.
While Richmond College is preparing
to throw open the doors to the young
men, the 1Voman's College. one of the
best girls schools in the South, is far
from inactive.
Here again there is every indication Of
| a fourishing session. The remarkable
success of DR.. James Nelson. who built
up the school from nothing to what it
now is, will be again apparent. Last
year more young ladies applied than
could be accommodated and the Trus-
tees had to set about making plans for
removal to another site. But before this
removal can be erected TWO or three
more sessions will have to be spent in the
old building, ana this year there Is a
prospect that the enrolment will run
considerably beyond the 260 of last year.
It has been found necessary to rent one
or two OF the dwelling houses just across
the way.
During the summer everything has
been gotten in shape for the reopening.
Professor NJ. a. Martin, formerly of the
Southside Female Institute, at Burke
Vile, is now associated with DR.. Nelson
and has been looking after the work. me
| interior Of the school has been fixed up
as usual. A new roof has been put on
the building.

and natural science will not return anu
Prof. Sheppard and Prof. Martin will take
his place.
The remainder Of the faculty will be as
before. Miss Orie L. Hatcher, professor
OF history and literature, is on furlough
at the University of Chicago, and will MT
be back for a year. She will return. how
ever. and viii devote her life to the
Woman,s College. In the music art and
elocution departments. there will be but
