Students' Home, Healdsburg.
By William C. Grainger
THIS is the name applied to the boarding-house connected with Healdsburg College. It is in the fullest sense a students' home. It is a large three-story building capable of accommodating from seventy-five to one hundred persons. It is divided into parlors, kitchens, dining-rooms, chambers, bath-rooms, etc., with all modern conveniences, and furnished in good style. There is an air of refinement and good taste pervading the entire building, that is calculated to please the most fastidious. The design of the founders of the College in erecting this building, was to place students who have to leave their homes and family associations, under such influences as would enable them to derive the greatest benefits while pursuing their studies. The Home is under the immediate supervision of the president of the College who, with faithful assistants, does all he can to make the students' stay among us pleasant and profitable. Unless students board with their parents or legal guardians, they are expected to board at the Students' Home. Those who have assumed the responsibility of educating the minds and improving the morals of those intrusted to their care, cannot have the great object of their labors defeated by students placing themselves under influences that would more than counterbalance all the good that might be derived from attending the day sessions of the school. The discipline and influences of the Students' Home, in the development of character and the formation of correct habits, are worth as much to the student as the daily exercises of the College classes. Parents cannot afford to place their children where they will in a great measure be left to follow their own inclinations and choose their own associates. Very few are able to go to school under such circumstances and accomplish any good. Our terms are for board, tuition, washing, and lights, $20.00 per month. If due notice is given, students will be met at the train. Healdsburg, July 23, 1885.
