land is located on the west side of the

is know n as the G ross A ddition, is all
high, sightly land and im m ediately a d

A Big Brass Band.

for the establishm ent of a U niversity

and every year an a tte m p t has been

those in terested are confident of su c
cess. It is claim ed th a t th ere is a b u n
