UNION COLLEGE OPENING.

By W. T. Bland

Union College began its tenth year Wednesday morning, September 19, with a large attendance of earnest, intelligent young men and women. The enthusiasm and good spirit with which these young people begin the year's work is most gratifying. While the last year was a very successful one, the outlook is that this year will be a better one. This is just as it should be. The college is older, better equipped, and better able to do good, faithful work, than ever before. We expect it to do so, and are working to that end.
Since the opening, new students have been arriving daily. All are quickly and carefully classified, and are made comfortable either in the college home or with private families. All now planning to attend the college who desire to room in the college home should make application as soon as possible. If rooms can not be provided in the college home, arrangements are made with private families to either room or room and board the students, as may be desired. Thus all will be taken care of, and all will be made comfortable; so none need stay away, thinking there is no more room.
Quite a number of students have found places to work for their board and room rent. Others are meeting part of their expenses by work, and are paying not to exceed one dollar or one dollar and a quarter each week. Still others room in private homes, and take their meals in the college.
During the summer vacation a number of students worked on the college farm, and fine crops have been raised. The water supply for the college is at last good, there being an abundance of water for all purposes.
The good spirit in the school is worthy of special mention, and I am sure if the fathers and mothers of our students could attend some of the good meetings and class exercises, they would feel many times repaid, and would be glad in their hearts for the sacrifices they have made.
The winter term begins December 13, but it is not necessary to wait until then. Come as soon as possible; classes are moving forward, and every day counts. For information concerning the college, or for the College Year Book, address Union College, College View, Neb.
