the students. Practically all the
courses taught in the regular college
term were offered, and there were
students taking science, academic

science courses.

The close of the summer session s;e-
calls the phenomenal growth Of the
college in the last four years, al

having closed them for several years
for lack of concerted support. III no
way can the growth be brought out
but by going back t. the time 1t was
incOrporated-in November, 1885. At
that time it was officially recognized
and received by the synod. Of the
North Dakota ~Presbytery. No

a school Of higher education Of any

need Of a college meeting just such
