have this one friend to begin with,
and TO that friend you can always re-
turn If you get into any difficulty.
You will find that you are taken
good care Of in every way. Berea has
been more particular In caring for its
students than any other school. This
il shown In the expensive provision
Of mountain water which comes in
iron pipes from ten springs far away
in the hills. Besides this. there is
DR.. Cowley who is ready TO look after
any student the moment he begins
TO be sick, or feel bad in any way.
And in the hospital, where they are
training girls in the care of those
who are sick, they are always anx-
ious to have patients Parents never
need worry about their children when
they are at Berea because. even tho
they should be sick, they win be better
cared for than II they were at home.
AS a matter Of fact. there cannot be
found anywhere thousand young peo-
pie who have as little sickness as the
students at Berea.
Let no one hesitate to start for
fear he will be lonesome. or homesick
OF course we love our homes. but we
love them well enough so we can go

stronger and better. The fact is

There are many ways in which we
become acquainted with the students
here. There will be many pleasant
young men or young women in the
building where you have your room
which is called a dormitory. There
are four OF these buildings occupied
by young women, and eight which are
occupied by young men. In each of
these buildings there Is a teacher or
monitor in charge who will show you
your room, help you fix things up. and
Introduce you to the other students.
And then our meals are happy times.
At table you will meet some whom
you have not seen perhaps. in class
or IN the dormitory. Sometimes a
number OF friends In one class have
table by themselveo SO that they
are sure to meet three times day.
And then on Friday night there
are the Literary Societies. and on
Tuesday afternoon a meeting OF the
Mountain Society. and on Tuesday and

WINGED that some such move as you

fore is inclined to overlook In this
instance any undue bias you have
shown In espousing Macedonia's

cier of New York city whom you have
named is sincere in his offer to give
Prince Ferdinand financial support,
you are authorized to tell him that
his majestys ministers are heartily

sion, and will exert every influence TO
insure him unrestricted action. More
over, the foreign office is in full ac'
cord with your views as to the sum
