| Hampden- Sidney, Va. Dec. 11.-At
/, Harrisonburg, on Dec. 4th, the action
! Of the board OF trustees of Hampdeu-
| Sidney college, offering to place the
!, college under the direct control of the
synod Of Virginia, was communicated
to that body and in response the synod
enthusiastically and without any dis
sentinK voice accepted the proposition.
Historically speaking, Hampden-Sid-
ney college. has always been a Pres
byterian institution. but until 1901 had
no official connection with the synod
Of Virginia. At that time the partial
relation was established whereby the
synod annually nominated a list OF
eligible names from which selections
wereA made by the board itself to fiji
any vacancies in the board the board
having been approved by the synod
in toto.
Hampden Sidney college is l4s
years old, has a productive endow-
ment Of $4,000, owns 200 acres of
land in Prince Edward county, on
which are erected fourteen buildings.

100000 endowment. The action of
the synod places the Presbyterian
! church squarely behind the institu-
ition with a guarantee OF support both
in patronage and financially.
