COLLEGES.
Princeton wants to be a University.
Yale is to have a $125,000 gymnasium.
Emery and Henry College, Va., wants to raise an endowment.
Central College, Mo., (Methodist) opened with 89.
North Carolina institutions have opened finely this year. Those with the best endowments reap a commensurate harvest.
Wofford College, Spartanburg, S. C., (Methodist) has 70 in college and 35 in the preparatory department. The experiment of keeping it altogether distinct from the college is being tried there. Hence the “Fitting School” has been removed to a distant part of the town.
Randolph-Macon College, Va., has 143 students. Of these, 126 have joined the Y. M. C. A., and ten more have signified their intention to become members. Prof. Robert F. Sharpe, of Rhode Island, has been appointed Adjunct in the Department of National Science. The new gymnasium, the handsomest building on the campus, is supplied with all the modern appliances, including hot and cold baths. It is under the charge of a competent instructor in physical training.
