OUR RENAISSANCE , In considering the large appropriation made by the Legislature for the benefit of the State College, it may be well to mention the immedi ate use that will be made of a portion of it. Within the next two years about $75,000 will be spent in the erection of additional buildings and in repairs. In the construction of the original building there were architectural errors, detract ing greatly from its suitableness for school pur poses, which perhaps will have to be corrected. There will be built three dwelling houses, a green house and botanical laboratory, a drill hall and armory with a large assembly room, and a large building for chemical and physical laboratories. Three thousand dollars a year, for four years, is given for agricultural experiment work, and the rest of the appropriation, in all amounting to $112,000, goes to library, apparatus, models, casts, instruments for civil and mechanical en gineering and machinery for the shops, The appropriations may ho summarized us follows: For chemistry building $35 000 Equipment for sumo 5 bill Urconhouso 5 (mo Three dwelling houses, eueh For repairing 111 all Introducing gas Machinery and apparatus...

It has been having a sort of moribund existence for a long while, blighted by prejudice and neglect, but it may be considered as now beginning a career which will fully justify its original establishment and repay the recent State aid that has secured the perma nency of a school that will bring within the reach of young men and women of moderate means as good instruction, particularly in special branches, as the country affords. To this consummation no one has contributed more than Dr. George W, Atherton, the present able and efficient President of the College.— Belief ante Watchman. THE FREE LANCE. 1.
