There is no question that in

is to be educated. Colleges have

the principles that will constitute
the elements of the future charac
ter. The colleges should be posi'
tively Christian. That is, it
should have a positive faith in
Christ, and this faith should be
the controlling influence of the
college. The Bible should be
emphasized, as much importance
should be given to Paul as to
Plato.
It should be a college free from
the fads of social vagaries and
dissipations. These not only cost
money, but endanger character
and dissipate all purposes to study.
It should be a college where
the student can have personal ac

It should be a growing college.

their students. These am some
of the items that should control
in such an important choice. The

i Trinity' College is the only
male literary college in North
Carolina located in a city. Our
ancestors thought that it would
endanger the moral character of
students if colleges were located
1 in towns or cities, but the facts
have long since refuted their ideas,
and almost all of the large col
leges and universities are located
in towns and cities, The educa
tional intluences of such environ
ments are necessary. Students
enjoy advantages in a city not to
be Lad elsewhere, and come in
contact with the questions that
are prominent in the minds of
th nations. They enjoy the best
social and religious influences.
Any young man's education is
crippled who is denied these ad

from ibe blgb school to tbe Freshman
class should be auatural advancement In
tbe education of tbe student and not a
sudden revolutinu in his life la which
" old things " must be entirely abandoned
and altogether new ones learned. He
should be prepared to take bold of tbe
college work as soon as he enters without
any halting or post preparation. As was
said, tbe need of this class of work baa
been for some time felt and espressed by
our college instructors. Ia the North
and in some of the Central States a great
deal of attention is being paid to high
school work. And some of tbe Northern
bigb schools, at for Instance, tbe Law
renceville High school, and the Phillip's
Academy, do better work than a great
many of our so-called Southern colleges.
It is no wonder then that Southern
gradujwt go North and take post-graduate
work. We need to Day more atlen-
tics to Intension and not so much to ex
tension In our blgh school work, and
tien oar colleges will be able to do more
for .their students In tbe four years of
college life.
It was with view to these facts that
the Trinity Park High School was estab
lished". Its purpose Is to prepare students
to enter college. It is distinctly a bigb
school, hence It doe aot pretend nor
propose to prepare students for the Soph
omore nor the Junior clue In college,
bat for tbe Freshman class. It will not
attempt to prepare students for the'

opportunity of keeping folly abreast with
tbe times in their peculiar Hoes of work
and tbe students get tbe use of a col left
library and tbe inspiration of college
atmosphere.
Still tbe High School It distinct insti

and Itt own method of working. Tbe

The High School buildings are situated
about four hundred yards from the Main
Building of the College, in a beautiful
oak grove. It Is decidedly on of the
prettiest location for a school to be
found anywhere. The buildings them
selves are beautiful structure, and add
greatly to the appearance of tbe Park
Tbe work did not begin on them until
July 10, but It would be Impossible to
find more bandeome, more complete, or
better constructed blgh school buildings

Building is truly a work of art It I
three-storied structure, bulit of faced
brick, covered with slate and trimmed
with granite. It Is 48x73 feet and con
taint five recitation rooms, an auditorium,
cloak room, office, reading room and
society hall. These rooms are all bean
tlfully finished. Tbe lumber used in the
building Is tbe very finest quality of North

be found in an part of the building
Tbe recitation rooms are furnished with

The building is healed by the hot air

Woniau's Bui ding;.
Young women are admitted
to all the departments of Trini
ty College on the same terms as
young men. This step was
taken because very many of
our Southern women are am
bitious for the highest training,
given to young men. This am
bition is laudable and just, and
to meet this demand all the
classes of Trinity were opened
to them by action of tbe Trus
tees, June, 1897.
Trinity College has an endow
ment of three hundred thousand
dollars, besides nearly two hun
dred thousand dollars in equip
ments. It is tbe best endowed
college in the South Atlantic
States, and therefore, puts more
invested capital at the disposal
of its students than other col
leges in this section of the
United States.
While the. " is no course of
music in tbe college, yet the
Southern Conservatory of Music
ia located near Trinity Park,
and furnishes to youog women
studying at Trinity a rare op
portunity to perfect themselves
in this art.
The Mary Duke building is
designed as a board hg home
for young women It was built
and furnished at a cost of five
thousand dollars, and is
equij,ed with every modern
Convenience. Rooms are fur
nished with everything except
uwi wrnng ano towcn, ooara.
including room, furniture,
baths, lights, hrat, servants,
parlor and table will not cost
over fifteen dollars per month.
This building is located in
easy reach of class rooms, labor
atones and library.
Youog women are under the
same system of government as
young men. There is no clois
ter idea in the government, and
no restraints that endanger
health. A high womanly honor
is expected to govern the con
duct of young women who en
ter college.
College students demand out
door recreations, and for this
purpose have provided racing
track, tennis and ball grounds.
If young women expect to do
successful work in male col
leges, they must have equal
opportunities for recreation.
Nothing has done more to im
pede intellectual and physical
development among young
womeo at college than the re
straints imposed upon them in
the ordinary regulations. If a
young woman lacks thestrenirth
of character necessary to con
duct herself properly, she should
not attend any college, and
especially a male college.
During this year twenty
young women have matriculated
in the various classes of the
college. They are meeting
every requirement, and show
ability to do a high class of
wora Ttiey are happy and
enthusiastic students. It is to
be hoped that many of tur
young women will avail them,
selves of the advantages here
afford' d for broad lines of intel
lectual work.
