In April, 1881, a char- ter was seonred and the school was authorised to confer such d rees and marks of distinction as are nsnally irranted by literary institutions.

Lexington, Missonri, is a town of five thonsand inhabitants, abont forty miles east of Kansas City, and is accessible by the Missouri river and by tlie Missouri racilic, the Wahasli and the Santa Ke mil- roads.
