an Episcopal coeducational institution
which has been revived by Bishop NJ.
Edward Fawcett of Quincy The bishop
will be the principal speaker the af-

take place Jubilee college has had
an interesting history. Away back in
1887 Bishop Chase, founder of Kenyon
college, came west and established this
institution in Peoria county and for
many years it fiourished. But finally it
began to decline and for a decade or
two there was no school held, the
buildings going to ruin. Bishop Faw
cCtt set about reopening the college
last summer and so well was the idea
supported that the winters enrolment
taxed the capacity of the buildings.
