L. Synod and tbe Ten nessee E. L. Synod relative to the union of, certain eduealioaaj work of these two synods an erroneous im pression baa become current. It baa been repeatedly stated, through tbe press, based doubtless a- what waa considered reliable information, that thejoint committee waa working to the end that tbe Collegiate Institute of this place be united with Lenoir College at Hickory. This ia a mistake, arising no doubt from the idea ia the minds of many that old North Caro lina College and the Collegiate Insti tute go to make but one single insti tution. Aa -a matter of fact, they are two different institutions, and it ia be former North Carolina College that -the committee haa'had under consideration and not the Collegiate Institute. When the matter first came before the synods, the Institute was brought into 4 he deal, to borrow-a business phrase, but for good and sat isfactory reasons it bag been left out of all deliberations. No matter what tbe outcome may be it will not effect the Institute at this place. A record breaking crowd was pres ent, at the dosing exercises of the Fink school last Saturday.
