We further report that Mr. John Blair of Yorkville S. C. has assured us of his determination to transfer to the trustees as soon as practicable ten shares of the Capital Stock of the Bank of the State of North Carolina, to endow a Scholarship in this institution.
Also that Dr. A. F. Alexander of Alabama has authorized the payment of about eleven hundred dollars in behalf of his deceased Sister Mrs. Jane D. Lide, to the Trustees of our College, to carry into effect her benevolent intentions expressed previous to her death in reference to the education of young men for the Gospel Ministry.
The number of students now connected with the College is seventy three, their advancement in their Studies is in general very honourable to themselves. A Spirit of order and subordination pervades the institution.
A proper regard for the worship of God is strictly demanded, and apparently yielded with order and cheerfulness.
The manual labor department is in a flourishing condition and as general satisfaction given by the Boarding house as could reasonably be expected.
Amid the evidenced of prosperity which have thus far marked this noble institution it becomes us to cherish gratitude to God for his blessings, and to continue, and increase our efforts that this institution may accomplish the great purposes for which it has been founded.
Respectfully signed R. H. Morrison, P J. Sparrow, Com,
