SEVEN TURNED AWAY.
Seven pupils had to be turned away

four or five different States were refused
admittance solely because there is no
room. Two old scholars who intended to
return neglected to notify the college and
they are left out. One of these young
ladies is from Gainesville and she is
already here. She will have to return
home.
