The answer OF the Jamestown EXPOSE
5tion Company to the request recently
made by tho Presbyterian Ministerial As
ISOLATION regarding a site and buildings
Z for Hampde Sidney College Is being
8anxously awaited by those Interested
in moving the college here. The endorse
n,ent by the Underwater Ministerial Union
Z OF the project last Monday has given
new life to the movement and as the
attitude OF the exposition company is
favorable, It Is more than likely that
Hampden-Sidncy College will move n TO
Scwclrs Point. Xxx, 5 "a II
II The Jamestown Exposition Company
{ has been requested to donate twenty
\ acres OF land and buildings to the value
OF 500, 90 rs an inducemcntkto the college i
to move here. 1t has received the res 4
quest sfavorably. ana with the realization
that the es establishment OF large insti-8l
tuition at the Point would be a benefit
TO themselves and the community at
large. While the public is generally OF /
4 the opinion that when an exposition IS !;
over It is all over, those who ire better
nosted know that the land the buildings. i
when utilized for such a purpose as the I
establishment OF q college, are to the
lasting benefit Of the owners OF the land
In the vicinity and to the surrounding 4
country. q li &
Hampd en- Sidney College has no reason
TO move except that It Is now situated
in an ont of the way place. It possesses &
+ $50 acres OF land OF the value OF 500, oo0. Z
I'hc proposition OF Newport News to give \
4 the college 10000 to move to that city
was SO small that It wa not considered.
and efforts Will DO made to divert this
money TO Sewell's Point. Sewell's Point
rs as accessible to Newport News as to !;
Norfolk and the location OF the college n
there would be nearly as beneficial to i
one place as the other. Tho proposition !
which Norfolk expects to make, while :
not amounting to as much as Hampden- {
Sidney no ~ owns, does not lessen the +
value OF their present buildings and \
gives the college a greater chance Of
incrcas Sc BY placing It In a more accessi-5
BILE and larger community. " 81
AS soon as some definite reply Is re- \
ceived from the jamestown Exposition
5 Company an appeal will be made to the
public generally for the necessary funds.
