Chi-cora College opens its next session on Sept. 17th. Everything in conneetion with the buildings, is about in readiness for the return of the pu.pils. Duxning the summer m;any small improvements have been made, ivhich add greatly to the beauty and comfort of the buildings. The interior. is attractive as well as substantial. The ~reception halls have been finished in hardwood, and the walls beautifully papered. The parlors, offices and infirmary have all been overhauled and finished in an elegant and attractive paper and ivry enamel p)aint. An additional furnace is being added to the heat ing plant, and the athletic courts improved. The outlook for the approaching session. is the most encouraging in the histoi;y of the institution. The evidence of the popularity of Chicora is seen in the very large unpreceden ted number of new applications. There have been very nearly, if not fully, enough new applicants to fill the dormitories. The college author ities have been compelled to rent additional'houses for the accommoda tion of the pupils. The prospect at present is, that the number of board ing pupils will exceed that of last year. by fully one third to one half. Many requests for eatalogues have come from dlistant States, and the fatore of the college is exceedingly bright. The great need of the pres ent. is additional dormitory room. The faculty will begin to return next week. A number of the teach er's spent the summer at the various universities of the country. g.tudying along their speci.al lines. The music department will be stronger than ever. The faculty of last year will be with the college again, and will be strengthened by the addition of Prof. Berghauser, who is accomplished in both piano and voice. The college expects to open on a standard of twelve units, which is as high as any institution in the State. Chicora is now certainly of ferinin the very best advantages mn hiher Christ ian education, and its future is assured. An exceptionally large day-patron ,. xetd n5 there~ have been many;1~ :11nlientionsi and inquiries. It is the purpose of the president, S. C.
