...expelled. A majority of the teachers and overseers are women. In the department of instruction are seven male professors and sixteen female teachers. The household is administered by a matron, six prefects and five governesses. The order and neatness of all the premises are quite perfect. The college was open for occupation in 1848. With the exception of one year, William H. Allen, LL. D., has been its president. His administration has been wonderfully successful.

Not only will members thus feel open to all sound argument, but what is even more important, the society will thus recognize the only principle of manly conduct, that we must do as we think right, not because of an artificial attachment to a pledge, but because of our own determination so to do; that the force...
