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.

The Archive’s visit to any literary magazine or newspaper may be considered as an invitation to exchange. Thus far the Wake Forest Student and the College Message have been received. The Archive extends cordial greetings to all periodicals which may exchange with it, and trusts that harmony may prevail between it and them, and that mutual benefit may be derived.
The College Message, G. F. College, is welcomed to our exchange list. We are in receipt of the September number. It contains some very readable articles and some matter of a frivolous order. Its pages, however, demonstrate the fact, that women can occupy the editorial chair with ability.
The Archive acknowledges the receipt of a special copy of The Hot Blast, Anniston, Ala. The print is plain, the cuts clear, the general appearance handsome, and the paper, on a whole, does credit to the enterprise of the company. This number is devoted especially to the interests of Anniston, and is calculated to infuse her citizens with life, energy and pluck. The paper is not a source of local pride alone, nor is it devoted alone to local interests. It proclaims the hidden treasures of Alabama and the whole South. North Carolina may well be proud that a part of its pages are the fruits of North Carolina talent, and it is an occasion of gratification to Trinity that its city editorial chair is filled by one of her recent students.
