We would here ask leave to pay the two societies of Roanoke College a well deserved compliment. Tbe •poacbee delivered at celebratioos, oratorical 000 teats and commence meats, owe much of their elegance of composition aud finished delivery to the trainings received in these literary organizations. We venture the assertion, sustained as it is by well knows theta, that these societies hare no superiors ia Virginia. Sea •ton before tost, both tbe Final ora tore of the societies at tbe University of Virgiaia were graduates of Roan oke College (class of W). There Final orations are delivered during theft comma*esmeot week, and are regarded very high honors. Tbe high standing of Rouoake graduates in the professional schools of tbe University hod in the various de- (kartmoots of active lift, is indispu table evidence of tin* high order of mental ealtiration required to com plots the carricnlum. If Lutherans w<mld but learn to value their schools as they deserve, oar college* and somlutunes would soon be among the first in the laud.
