Where shall the college be lo cated t A secular paper before me lays, " the highest; builder " (of any town In the State), 'can get the new .Baptist female college." Now, If, on the whole, It seems best to locate the, institution in a city or town. It would be right as well as graceful for those who would. Incidentally, be bens fitted to contribute largely toward its estab lishment Bat the amount " bid ." by any place ought not to be tbe controlling motive for the location of tbe college. Other con siderations are as Important, and should be TwenttM money.vro things being altogether as satisfactory, ths largest offer ought to secure the college. ; T But is it; after alb certain that a town Is tbe best place for our coUegef I am not sore of it though J am opento correction. I have known five or six Baptist female colleges, in as many towns,' in' Virginia, but not one of them has ever done ths work or achieved the reputation o Holilns Insti tute, which Is in the country. The Baptist whose authority Is probably worth more on this subject than that of any other man in the South has written as follows : Ths . I . . , . . , ""uooui tor girw u one w wuicu juaou tentlon has been given In recent years. After an experience of two centuries on this continent the general conclusion bis been reached that country locations, easily ac cessible to clues are decidedly preieratis from many considerations. Many of tbe largest and best equipped schools, of recent origin, have been so :v loeate4-notably Vsasar College, of Nsw York and Wellesley College, of Massachusetts." 4 ' ; rr All I wish to do is to suggest that it msy be an open question as to whether any Imposition should be accepted. If,- toy oca ting tbe new college on from ' two to five hundred .acres of its own ground Is some central, healthful locality, and on a railroad, we can rally to the college all tin Baptists in our Convention, would not this moral and financial support be worth mors ultimately than can be cflered by any town! v. v.. . : .J O.
