HILLSDALE COLLEGE.

From a catalogue we gather the following statements: Hillsdale College is located at Hillsdale, Michigan, on the Michigan Southern Railroad. The college edifice is of brick, four stories high besides the basement, embracing upwards of

twenty public rooms, and one hundred and ten private rooms, sufficient to accommodate two hundred and twenty students. The building also affords boarding accommodations for an equal number, There are, in addition, ample accommodations in private families, in the vicinity of the college, for several hundred more.

OLIVET COLLEGE.

It will be seen, by reference to the report of the President of this College, that its prosperity is still continued. During the past year the College has made manifest progress. The Board of Trustees are now engaged in erecting a new College edifice, to be used for recitation rooms, and dormitories. It is to be fifty-four feet in width and one hundred and twelve feet in length, four stories high. Its cost will not be less than $30,000; $15,000 of which were pledged on the last commencement day. Several large donations have been made, during the year, to the endowment fund of the College. Others are confidently expected, the present year.

The State Normal School still continues as prosperous as at any previous time. The teachers have been so long connected with the School, and understand so fully what was needed to to be done, that the School did not feel the loss of its former Principal, as it otherwise would have done. Under its new Principal, we may hope to see its power for good, still more increased, and its general prosperity greatly enlarged.
