Church, for which purpose it is yet used and, in whose brick walls may yet be traced the outlines of doors and windows. The present College building has for forty years resounded to the tread of student feet and echoed student eloquence. It was completed in 1857, and is beautifully situated on a point overlooking the Ohio. I The first President of the institution as a College was the Rev. James Blythe, D. D., of Lexington, Kentucky. The prosperous con- dition of the College, as far as attendance is concerned, is shown by the earlier catalogues. The first of these shows a faculty consisting of seven Professors andfour assistants, and ia total of' 183 students, of whom seven were in the Theological Department, sixty-three in e the College proper, and 113 in the pre- paratory department. . In 1834-35 the number in attendance had risen to 236. But the ' prevailing manual- labor system was not a success financially, and the debt incurred, together with the loss - sustained' from the tor- ' CoI.I.Ec.ig: POINT House. -. , nado of greatly weakened the institution. In 1843-44 a vigorous effort was made on the part of some tohave thefCollege removed to Madison, others as strongly opposed the removal, but were finally overruled and the charter given up and the change made. It proved a bad move, how- ever, and, in a short time, 'we find the College re-established at Hanover, under a more liberal charter granted in December, 1844. Thus was passed in safety this most critical period. Since then, dark days have not been altogether absent from the College, but loyal friends have ever come forward in time of need, and the great work of education has never been suffered to lapse.
