Oberlin Colleff
as eBtaLliehed at Oberlin, Ohio, in the year
1834 taking its name, as well as the town in
which it is located, from Jean Frederic Ober
lin a distinguished French philanthropist,
who died in 182C. The Rot. Asa Mahan, Asso
ciate Professor of Theology, filled the position
cf President from 1835 to l!50. The Rev.
Charles Q. Finney, who bai i held the Profes
sorship of Theology since 183j, was President
from 1851 to 18u't, when the Rev. James U.
Fairchild, who has been an Associate Professor
of Theology since 1S58, was elected his buq-
cessor. PS3
Oberlin College has for years been distin
guished throughout the country for the ex
treme radical sentiments of its professors aud
Students, who contributed not a little to the
formation of that state of public opinion in the
jVorth which resulted in the election of Mr.
Lincoln to the Presidency in I81X). The insti
tution, which is under the control of the
Evangelical CoDgregationalists, has always
heen consistent in its radicalism, and from the
first there has been no distinction among its
students by reason of sex or color. The first
class in the theological department graduated
in 183G, and contained 14 members. The class
cf 1841 contained 18 members, the number
since then fluctuating below that point, and
attaining a total of 240. The first class in the
Academic Department graduated in 1837, with
4 Members. The class of 1838 rose to 20.
Bince then, the greatest number of male
graduates in any one year has been 23. In
1841, for the first time, the graduating class
included 3 ladies. Bince then, every graduating
class with two exceptions has been composed
of the two sexes, on terms of perfect equality.
The largest class of ladies was that of 1865,
when there were 13, the male members of the
class numbering 23, which was also the maxi
mum atained in their department. Altogether
424 gentlemen and 84 ladies, a total of 508,
have received the degree of "A. B." from the
College. The attendance of students during
the past two years has been as follows:

The University of Michigan,
which has within the. last few years become,
in point of numbers, the first institution of
learning in the New World, owes its origin to
Several acts of Congress donating portions of
the public lands lor its establishment. As
early as 1804 one township of land in the
present limits of Michigan was set apart for
the support of a University, and in 1817 pre
liminary steps were taken by the Territorial
Government for its organization. In 1821
Trustees were appointed, and in 1824 Congress
devoted to its support another township, thus
making the entire grant over forty-six thou
eand aores, which, by the terms of the act.
were to be devoted to "the use and support
oi a university, ana lor no other use or pur
pose whatever." ' On the subsequent a&
mission oi Micmgan into ine union as a
State, one of the first objects to which the
attention oi ine Legislature was turned was
the full organization of the projected Univer
sity. This course was recommended in the
report of the Rev. J. D. I'ieroe, the first State
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and on
the 18th of March, 1 837, an act was passed by
the Legislature creating the "University of
Aiicnigan." ay mis act it was provided that
the management of the institution should be
Intrusted to a .Board or Regents, to be an
pointed by the Governor; the latter, together
with the Lieutenant-Governor, Chancellor,
and Judges of the Supreme Court, being ex-
o Jficio a member of the Hoard. The outlines of
the three departments of the University those
of Law, ot Medicine, and oi Literature, Scienoe,
- . , . . . ... .
ana ine Arts were aiso iramoa, witn provi
sions for three professorships in the first, six
in the second, and fifteen in the third. The
permanent location of the Institution was fixed
at Ann Arbor, a charming inland city, about
lorty miles west oi Detroit, the Regents re
ceiving, as an inducement, a grant of forty
acres oi iana as ine sue oi the University.
Bo remarkable was the educational scheme
then proposed that Chancellor Kent, in his
famous "Commentaries," indorses the opinion
of Lanman, writing in 1839, in the following
words: "The University of Michigan is said
ly the learned and elegant historian of that
fctate to be founded on a wider scale, and with
a more liberal endowment, tnan any other on
this side ot tne Atlantic
Before any of the departments of the Uni
rersity were ready for operation a system of
tranch schools was adopted, and several insti
tutions of this character were established in
different parts of the State. But these were
soon after abandoned, and all the resources
erjrineine from the sale of the lands donated
lv Coneress were devoted to the building up
f the great central college. In 1838 Dr. Asa
rav. now of Harvard University, was elected
the first ProfeBsor, and assigned to the Chair
of Botany and Zoology, lie retained this post
inn n ntil 1842. in the. meantime visiting En
xope and there purchasing about four thousand
Tolumes, as a foundation for the library, by
rir of the Board of Recents, who had placed
T.000 at his disposal for the purpose. In 1833
Dr. Douglass Houghton was also appointed
Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy, which
position he held until 1845, when he was
drowned in Lake Superior, while proseouting
fctate eeoloeical survey. About the time
of the appointment of these two Professors the
foundations of one of the largest aud most corn-
plete cabinets of natural history in the country
wre laid by adding to the various collections

was very scanty and uncertain. The erection
of the buildings necewsary to the opening of
the central institution, the first of which waa
completed in 1841, and the support of the
branches, absorled the whole of it; and It was
not nntil a portion was withdrawn from the
latter, in 1842, that additional professors oonld
be appointed, and the regular oollegiate depart
ment thrown open for the admission of stu
dents. In the year 1843-44, the Institution at
length got under way, with 70 students in
attendance, in addition to a large number In
the preparatory department. The last, how
ever, was soon after wisely abandoned. In
184445, the stndents numbered 74, and the
first class, of 11 members, waa graduated.
Until 1852 the University was without an ex
ecutive officer, the duties being performed by
the members of the Faculty in turn. During
this period its progress was far from flattering,
and gave but little promise of the brilliant
future. The greatest number of students waa
in 1840-47, when there were 93 in attend
ance, and 12 in the graduating class.
The clasB of 1849, however, rose to 23,
although the whole number of students fell
to 77. In 1850 the Medical Department was
established, with 95 students in attendance;
and in 1851 the degree of "Doctor of Medi
cine" was conferred upon 6 graduates. In
1852 the number of students in this depart
ment had increased to 169, and the number of
graduates to 27. Such were the beginnings
of what is now the largest Bchool of medicine
in the United States.
Previous to 1851, the Regents had been ap
pointed by the Governor of the State, subject
to the confirmation of the Senate. But in the
amended Constitution of this year, the organi
zation of the University was made a part of
the fundamental law of the State, aud it was
provided that the , Regents should henceforth
be elected by the people, each Senatorial dis
trict in the State being entitled to one member
of the Board, who was to remain in office for
six years. This provision remains unchanged
to this day, with the exception that, by an
amendment to the Constitution adopted in
18(')2, the number of Regents is restricted
to eight, all of whom are elected at large
for eight years, the terms of office of two of
them expiring every alternate year. It was
immediately after the first of the above modifi
cations in the government of the institution
had gone into ell'ect, that the Regents, npon
careful deliberation, filled the office of Chan
cellor by the election of the Rev. Henry P.
Tappan, D. D., LL. D., who entered upon the
discharge of his duties iu December, 1852.
Dr. Tappan is an eminent divine of the
Presbyterian Church, and was well qualified
for the position, having dovoted himself for
years with great earnestness to the study of
University education in all its bearings and
requirements. He had, moreover, acquired
considerable reputation, abroad as well as at
home, by his metaphysical writings, and had
lor some years held a Troiessorsuip in the
University of the city of New York. From
his accession to the Chancellorship of the
University to his dismissal by the Board of
Regents in 1863, he devoted himself with un
tiring zeal to the task of building up this seat
of learning in the West; and so great was his
success that in the course of these ten years he
raised the institution from the lowest rank of
Western Colleges to the third position in the
country in point of numbers. At an early
period in his administration difficulties oo-
curred between him and the Hoard oi Re
gents, some of the Professors taking sides
with the latter. The dispute culminate! in
the summer of 18(i3, when the Board, just as
their term of office was expiring by limitation
of the Constitution, relieved Dr. iappan from
the Chancellorship, and elected in his place
the Rev. Erastus O. Haven, D. 1)., LL. D., a
popular New England divine, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Dr. Haven had been con
nected with the University as a rroiessor ironi
1852 to 1850, and had then been held in high
estimation by all who came in contact with
him. If he had been made Chancellor under
any ordinary circumstances, it is probable that
his former popularity would have rendered the
task before him comparatively easy, liut the
removal of Dr. Tappan raised a storm through
out the State, and, in fact, throughout the
whole Northwest, for the students and their
friends were to be found in almost every town
in that section of the country. Meetings were
held by them on all sides, and remonstrances
against Dr. Tappan's removal and petitions
for his restoration poured in npon the new
Board of Regents on their accession to office in
January, 1804. In the meantime Dr. Haven
had entered npon the discharge of his duties,
finding them anything but pleasant for the
first year or two. The new Regents, however,
made no change in the management of the
university, and all the students who had en
tered the different departments during the ad
ministration of Dr. Tappan having now com
pleted their courses, the new rtqime encoun
ters less opposition and is more efficient than
it was at hrst. The prosperity of the Uni
versity, happily, was not interfered with by
the chance, as during the four years of Dr,
Haven's term of office the number of students
has risen from 054 to 1255
In the fall of 1859, the Law Department
was iully organized, the students numbering?
92 the first year, and the graduating class of
Ibbv containing 04 members. Within the
brief period of eight years, this has become
the largest law school in the country, the
number of students in attendance during 1800
-(57 being 395, of whom 153 were in the senior
or graduating class. The wonderful increase
in the number of students in the various de
partments is shown in the following table:

nine and twenty-three, averaging fifteen, of
whom about one-third were in the scientific
course. The class oi ioo numnerea &r, mat
Of 1858, 48; and that of 18G2, 55. At this
point the classes were much diminished by
the outbreak of the war, a large number of
tho students enlisting in the Federal army,
and a very few, who were from the Southwest
ern States, taking sides with the Rebellion.
The graduating class of 1804 contained only
twenty-six members, bnt the numbers have
again increased, as seen in the above tables.
The whole number of degrees conferred in the
Academic department, up to the present time,
is 628.
Previous to 1804, the graduating classes in
the Medical department ranged between twenty
and fifty, but since that date they have risen
to seventy and over, the whole number of
graduates being alout 640.
The growth of the Law School has been so
remarkable that we give the numbers in each
graduating class, as follows:

In two departments, the total number of
alumni of the University at present is a little
over 1800.
The resources of the University are princi
pally the income derived from the proceeds of
the sale of the publio lands donated to the in
stitution by Congress. The University is in
reality a great free school, and the charges for
tuition are merely nominal. Until within a
year or two an initiation fee of ten dollars was
required of every student on his first entrance,
and the only additional charges were an annual
tax of five dollars for incidental expenses, s
long as he remained in any of the depart
ments. The initiation fee has recently been
raised to twenty-five dollars in cases where the
student is not a resident of the State of Michi
gan, while the annual charges in all cases have
been increased to ten dollars. This diiference
in the initiation fee is the only discrimination
made between residents of the State and non
residents. The annual income of the Uni
versity is about $00,000, of which $35,000
comes from the proceeds of the Congressional
grant. The annual expenses approach the
receipts very closely, and some years exceed
them by a few hundred dollars. Years ago
the University narrowly escaped becoming by
far the wealthiest college corporation in the
country. A portion of the lands donated by
Congress for its support were located on the
site of the city of Toledo, Ohio; and if the
institution had retained the title to them, its
endowment would now have amounted to mil
lions of dollars. But in consequence of the
boundary troubles between Michigan and
Ohio, which culminated in the dispute known
as "the Toledo war," the State taxes were not
regularly paid, and the title, as a consequence,
passed into other hands.
Some idea of the variety of courses of study
which are presented by the University can be
gathered from what has already been said.
The scientific course of four years' duration,
which differs from the classical course only in
the substitution of the moderu languages, his
tory, the higher mathematics, and natural
science for the languages and literature ot
Greece and Rome, is becoming more and more
popular. This is shown by the fact that,
while in the class of 1867, containing 37 mem
bers, there were but 10 scientific aud 4 engi
neering students, in the class ot 99 members
which entered the University in 1800, there
were 41 students who selected the scientific
course. The facilities for the study of the
more practical branches are not excelled
by those of any other institution in the coun
try. The cabinets of natural history are very
laree, and as complete as any in the United
States, and the large refracting telescope in
the observatory equals in power that at Har
vard University. The laboratory of Chemis
try, Pharmacy, and Toxicology is unequalled
in size and completeness, the numbers given
above as pursuing the study of chemistry
being those only who are devoted to that
branch, to the exclusion of all others. The
general library of the University oontains over
10,000 volumes, and is being largely increased
by annual purchases. The law library is also
very complete, and has recently been increased
by the valuable collection of legal works do
nated by the Hon. Richard Fletcher, one of the
Justices of the supreme Judicial Court of Mas
sachusetts. The University is characterized by two
peculiarities. No honors are conferred at
the commencements, all the members
of the graduating classes standing upon
a perfect equality. The spurious emulation
which marks college life in other institutions
is therefore avoided, and the system thus far
has worked so well that the authorities con
template making no change in it. There are,
likewise, no dormitories connected with the
University, each student being permitted to
lodge and board where he pleases. The result
of this is a more manly bearing on the part of
the young men who are thus entrusted with
an oversight of their own conduct. When
ever any one violates the confidence thus re
posed in him, he is summarily brought to ac
count by the faculty of his department. The
evils growing out of the common practice in
this country of conferring honorary degrees
without the proper discrimination, have also
been avoided by the University. Until the
late commencement, which occurred ou the
20th of June, the Faculties and Regents have
persistently refused to honor any one but a
regular student with a diploma. This rule
has for once been waived in favor of the Hon.
Andrew D; White, for several years Professor
of History in the University, and at present a
member of the State Senate of New York, and
President of Cornell University, at Ithaca,
N. Y., who, at the late commencement, was
made a "Doctor of Laws."
For several years past there have been per
sistent efforts to secure the establishment of
chair of Homajopathy in the Medical School,
and the admission of ladies to all the depart
ments of the University; bnt these have in
variably failed, although the State Legislature
has recently taken the matter in hand. By
the express provisions of the constitution,
however, the Regents are entrusted with the
sole management of the institution; and as
they have just pronounced against both these
innovations, the excitement attending the dis
cussion of these measures has somewhat sub
sided, and the future of the University of
Michigan is as promising aa its past has been
successful.

ti emselvee a lasting name and fame, and won Id
be as warmly welcomed were they to anDear
again as their hearts could desire. Ref ire the
departure of the above-named troupe thev
gave a supper to a few of their friends, '
The supper took place at the Occidental Hotel
at 12 o'clock, midnight, and the
not only Invited to partake of it, but to see how
it was prepared. Upon entering the room we
were usbered Into the apartment of Mr. Blank.
man, the husband of Onlotit, and manager of
the troupe. Mr. Blank man acted aa inter
preter, ills wife omild, however, manage very
well in an ordinary conversation. Th principal
members of the troupe that were present were
Fora Japan, llarosan, Utile Tommy, IJoilln, and
uooai; these understood very little KnuliHti,
and the oon vernation with them was desultory.
About 11 o'clock we were Invited to the kitchen
to witness the preparation of the meal of which
we were expected to partake. Home of the lady
visitors declined, as they concluded they would
rather eat it iu ignorance of the way It was
prepared. The flint dish commenced waa a
kind of aweetineat made of flour, sugar, and
lard. This they put in a mortar, and then mix
It with the hands nntil It Is about the con
sistency of dough. They then put a small ouan
tlty of this mixture In a tin uan. Dress It down
Uni and firmly, and cook 11 iu a range uutll the
snfiRr nas thoroughly oozed lroru H. aud com
pletely covered it witn a cauuy-iine sut
stflnce.
The mixture was then taken out and allowed
to cool. The next dish DreDared was fl-th! thane.
after being cleaned, they cut In two, but not
lengthwise as do our cooks, and remove the
head and tails. Thev are then DUt In a lares
pot, reasoned, and coveted over with a sauce of
ine most ooncate navor. A little water is then
added, aud Bfter being boiled till they were soft
nsiDunn, iney were empiiea into a largo tin
pun. The rice In tbe mean lime had been
cooked, as It is preferred cold. The Japanese
are lar ahead of us in the manner of cooking,
and when It is set before you, every particular
grain stands apart. They next proceed to make
soup, and the dexterity with which, with their
queer-fcuapea Knives, tnev could turn a piece ot
mutton or beef, would rather astonish some of
our butchers. The scrapings from the bone
they used to make a kind of "chow-chow." The
large pieces were cut into squares about an Inch
each way, and thrown into a pot with a few snap
beans, bits of cabbage, and some kind ot Japa
nese herbs. The whole was then seasoned and
well boiled.
There were seventeen of the troupe, Including
the two ladies that sat down to supper, and
eleven Americans. Tiie first ceremony was for
nil to sit round in a ring on the floor, cross-leg,
of course, except the ladles, who kneel; the food
was an placed on the uoor, pipes lighted, and
two spittoons produced. Into which the ashes
from the pipes, alter a few whins, are knocked.
There they remaiu, to serve as tinder during
the eveuiDg. Hice and brown sugar were
served lu saucers, and the rapidity with which
the Japanese used their chop-sticks ralher as
tonished the Invited guests. Rice being through
with, we took soup. This wits served in little
auerr-sbaped soup cups. These are first filled
with the liquor. A siugle square of the meat is
then put in the centre of it, aud tbe edges are
iriromeu wnu ine snap Deans and vegetables.
It was a very nice dish. After ihls we had fish,
and cucumbers served In a peculiar manuer.
They weie cut as thin as paier, and seasoned
lu Japanese style what the style was we are
unable to say, out the dish was excellent. The
nsh was particularly palatable.
This wart oi the performance being ended.
chow-chow and whisky (they are very fond of
the latter article) went brought on. aud full lus-
tlce was done to both. The Japanese always
oriiiKoutoi cups we, oi course, old the same.
The remnants of the repast being removed, des
sert was brought on the sugarcakes. None of
the Americans, however, tried the sugar cakes.
me ueNsert oeiug amy niRciinged, tea was
brought on, and, to use a New York phrase.lt,
wns strong enougn io lane ine nair orr u aog."
The tea was, however, excellent, but the Ame
ricans could not relltsh it. as did the Japs, for
they us neither milk nor sugar. The crockery
Uhed by tlu i-e people is very hardsome. It is of
a paio diuish green, and shines like silver.
Many of the larger dlshett are handsomely orna
mented with colored lUures. After the dinner
wus over, they exhibited to us one of their gods.
It was hideous In the extreme. Pipes were then
lighted. '1 bey all vonialned a certain amount
oi opium. The enect can be imagined.
Heiore the pipes, however, they gave us some
feats of strength and agility, and then requested
us to favor them likewise. Many oi these men
are marked with India Ink from head to foot,
and some of tho figures are beautifully done.
About half-past 2 A. M. we took our leave, after
