In the year 1880 a suitable building for a day school was pnrchaMd, and in September of the same year the doors were opened for stadeota. B. L. Hnii ;os, now of the McCormick Theoloijira!

The school has steadily grown in public favor, »a its students have Rone forth into pnblic life or to disHn- guisb themselves in oniversitics fur which it prcp.iriMl ttii III. Several universities in the East and in tlw West have recqpiised the merit of its work by offering fkbk scHOLARSiura to its graduates, and
