The lecture given by President Pur
inton in Wheeling Friday was re-
garded as one Of the most scholar,
ever heard there. The Register re
ports it in full and gives the following
account of the banquet preceding:
1.-THE people Of this city and many
visitors from other cities were again
treated to rare intellectual feast al
the Court Theatre last evening, wheS
DR.. d. b. PuTinton. the distinguished
president of the West Virginia chi
versity, delivered one of the most
practical, profitable and interesting
lectures ever enjoyed 10 this city.
In recognition OF the factthat DR..
Purinton came to this city not only to
fulfil particular part Of the series OF
lectures, but as the president of the
home University an an honored guest
OF ex-graduates and former students OF
that institution, a complimentary
banquet was rendered DIR. Purinton
at the Hotel Windsor. There were
present nearly thirty of the former
university students.
Major w. j. w. Cowden, member of
the board OF regents of the West Vir-
ginia University, presided as toast
master, and 10 few brief but well
chosen remarks introduced Or. Purin-
ton, who spoke for quarter of an
hour or more in an interesting remin-
iscent vein. He referred to his col
lege life at the university aud outlined
the work Of the institution for the
past fifteen years. He said to those
in his presence that If they were to go
back to Morgantown with MIN they
wsuld notice some marvellous
changes. He said that fifteen years
ago the faculty included thirty
eight professors and there were about
two hundred students in attendance,
aud that this year the enrolment
would reach over one thousand and
the faculty over hundred. He
dwelt at length on the excellent facili-
ties Of the university at the present
time, and was greatly applauded at
the conclusion of his remarks.
