The Fall Term of School.

No doubt many are waiting to learn the time this will commence, and to ascertain in regard to board, tuition, and the prospects of the school generally. To answer the inquiries of such we will say that our Fall Term will probably commence Monday, Sept. 15, 1873. We regret that it cannot begin two weeks earlier, but the camp-meeting coming at Battle Creek, Sept. 4-8, makes it out of the question. Many who would want to attend the school would want to be at the meeting. The school could not well be in progress at the same time. So the time above stated will be as early as we can fix it. Probably this term will be held in the meeting house. The new Office building now being erected will be ready for the winter term, and then we hope to have accommodations more according to our wants, till we can put up buildings suitable for the purpose. Until then we must do as well as we can.
We expect Bro. Sidney Brownsberger, a graduate of the State University of Michigan, and a successful teacher, will be connected with our school this fall. There will be opportunity for the study of the languages, and other higher branches. Board can be obtained at from $2.50 to $3.00 per week. Rooms from 50 cts. to $1.00, for those who wish to board themselves, which probably would be the cheapest. We do not urge any to come from abroad, the circumstances, on account of our lack of proper buildings, are not as favorable as they will be hereafter. Yet we have no doubt there are very many among us who would receive great benefit from attending.
Probably our theological lectures will not be connected with the fall term.
We shall try to make our school of a high moral tone, thorough in its system of instruction, and one where the influence surrounding pupils will be salutary. For these objects we shall labor to the best of our ability with the means at our command.
