With striking personal appearance, excellent mental attainments, pleasant and engaging social qualities, he commands that recognition to which these and other qualifications so justly entitle him.”
—B. G. Marsh, 84, is principal of a successful school at Troy, N. C. In a letter recently received from Mr. Marsh he has this to say: “The Archive is well edited. It is a neat paper and reflects credit upon its editors and the Institution. I am truly in sympathy with you all, and hope and pray that our beloved Alma Mater will soon be the college for all Methodists of North Carolina. I shall send all the boys I can to Trinity, because I know they will be well cared for and well instructed, not only in literary attainments, but also in all things pertaining to a full Christian gentleman.”

Mr. Editor:—I am heartily in sympathy with the object so worthy the earnest efforts which the students are putting forth for its accomplishment—the Society and Library Building. Old students, one and all, let us not turn a deaf ear to their timely and earnest appeals, but let us prove our loyalty and devotion to our Institution, and manifest our interest in the proper education of the young men who shall attend it by lending our aid in the erection of the proposed building. You may put me down for $50.00.
