Battle Creek College.

By Editor

THE next College year at Battle Creek commences August 20, 1879. We have some personal knowledge of this school—its teachers and surroundings, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference over all other schools which we know. Thoroughness in study is required; not always acceptable to a dilatory student, but actually necessary to success. The moral influence is good; it is almost the only school with which we are acquainted which is valued by the citizens because the presence of students is no detriment to the peace of society. The health of students is regarded as a matter to be looked after, and hygiene is taught, and every facility afforded to carry its principles into practice. And the terms are reasonable, unless the prices might be considered unreasonably low, both for tuition and board. Excellent accommodations in families can be obtained for $2.50 per week; while room rent and board at clubs can be had for about $1.50 per week. The club houses afford good food, better suited to the real wants of the student than that which is found at hotels and fashionable boarding houses.

Tuition, above the Minim Course, from $5.00 to $7.00 a term. Scholarships for three and four years, three terms each year, $30.00 to $45.00. From these figures a student can readily estimate the entire cost of a term, a year, or a longer course; and by comparing these with the expenses of other schools, it will be found that the terms are very favorable to students of limited means.
