At the hands of these men they expect to see Christian College among the most honored institutions of the land. B uilding .—Only one wing of the now brick College building has been completed, and this is being remodeled and greatly improvod this year. It contains three working stories of large, airy and well lighted rooms, used for study and recitation. The old College building adjoining has been thoroughly overhauled and converted into a pleasant and commodious chapel.

The features of Christian College to which we especially invite attention, as distinctive of our work are as follows:. C hristian M orality .—The Bible is read every day and lectures calculated to impress its morality are given, and with the Bible as a basis, the effort to impress the highest Christian morality as the guiding principle in thfi lives of our students. Dogmatism and becteriauism are carefully avoided. Wo ignore all religious or political divisions, and encourage great freedom of thought, and aim to stand on that high plane where Protestant or Catholic, Democrat or Re publican, can meet on one common level. P ractical E ducation .—The great demand of the times is for men of action. An institution of learning to meet the needs of the people, should not only impart instruction, but along with the knowledge gained, give students tno power to use it to advantage for themselves and others. The idea of Christian College is, that the finest mental culture and the greatest benefit may be obtained bx the study of those things that will fit young men and women to at once enter some pursuit or business, and carry it forward successfully. Instead of those branches that are simply ornamental, we prefer those that are useful, and we invite comparison and criticism on our work. Our aim is to graduate young men and women so that they may at once enter upon the pursuits of life. ■ * M athematics .—The Course of Study in this department is very full. The various branches are taught from a practical standpoint, with a view to the application of each principal to such affaiin as people meet with in life and desire to understand. E nglish L anguage and L iterature .—A ready command of our own tongue, with an ac curate knowledge of its history arid authors, is one of the most important acquisitions. No other accomplishment can supply iho want of this. It can only be acquired by a thorough study of English. In Christian College the course of English extends through four jears and we oonsider this one of our most valuable features. S ciences .—The rapid advance made in the various departments of Science and the rapid succession of discoveries of new principles and applications, constitute one of the wonders of the age. No man can claim to be educated who is not conversant with the present advanced stage of Science* Very thorough work is made of all these, assisted by the use of the apparatus at our command. Sufficient time is allowed fos-a comprehensive understanding of the great principles of each science. . ’ A ncient L anguages .—By pursuing the best methods, the progress in acquiring a knowledge of the Goeek and Latin languages, is rapid. We have dropped several authors that are frequent ly read in Colleges, with a view to doing Ixjtter work !»• those that are road, and to give more time for the pursuit of the Course tn English and the Fciepeee. Experience has demonstrated that both better linguists and scientists result from this course. B iblical L iterature and E xegesis .—This department was organized in Christian College for the first time with the opening of the present session. The object is to study the Sac rod Scriptures analytically and critically, with contemporaneous profane history, and evidences of Christianity. Methods of serinouizmg, pulpit oratory, methods in revival meetings and the care of churches, are all earefully investigated. It is this department that the Christian brotherhood, as a body, kre particularly interested in.- Theiuterei t of the church is carefully considered in this, while all ether departments are wholly free from any religious discussions, except the uni- ibrmly recognized princinles of Christian morality. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT. Every facility is herb afforded for Atting young persons to successfully carry on any kind of business. The be-t authors are studied ou the vario ;s subjects, and such practical teats are made as insure thoroughness ou the part of the student.
