That the registration of students and increase of teaching force is but part proof of the growth of Hopkins Cram mar school is evident from the follow ing letter sent to the alumni of the school
 During the past year. a corporation (the Hopkins House. ineorporated) has been formed by friends of the school to purchase and maintain suitable home for students not belonging to New Ha ven. The capital stock is $25,O00, of which $S.225.OO has been paid in. Of this s6, poo has been paid towards the purchase of large and eommodious house, few blocks distant from the school house, the balance of the pur- chase money remaining on mortgage at 1 12 per cent. The house (k'1own as the Hopkins house) has been we'll furnished. and pr, Tukey, the instruct or in Greek, placed in charge. It was first opened for the summer school dur ing the vacation, and all the rooms are now occupied by students who both room and board there. As fast as further subscriptions are received, the mortgage debt will be re duced, and 1t is hoped that the entire capital can be subscribed this year. so as to put the house in the hands of the association free of debt
 By the gifts of few of the alumni and some of the students, a convenient building, with dressing rooms, washing facilities. lockers, etc, was erected on the Pratt field last summer, and is much appreciated Further sums for giving 1t some additional conycnionces would be welcome. ! MT. Ryder on account of advancing years. rendered his resignation from the faculty last spring, and it was reluct- antly accepted, It is with sincere re- gret that the trustees part with one so long and so honorably identified with the school
