...disappointed the two other contesting colleges; and her course has been discourteous throughout. With her reasons for retiring we have nothing to do; but we have a right to be informed of the result of those reasons before the last moment. If Columbia feels that she cannot afford to supply crews for New London and the Schuykill, let her withdraw from the latter.

It is hoped that through this institution many persons may be reached, such as teachers in public and private schools, young men who could not afford the necessary expenses of a college education, and people in every walk of life who, while having no desire for a college education, might wish to pursue some special study for their own improvement.
