. ECHO OF THE SEN Ft’A. 4 and responsibility of fitting; them for lib . If he succeeds in his present vocation as well as he did in his former, Mr. Vail will hi a valuable «addition to our Faculty. These are tin only changes that have been made in the Faculty of the College sine» tin end »f last year. The Professorial abilities of the other members of tin Faculty art well known. Those of Rev. Kendrick Metcalf, D. D., and John Towle it, M D., having been te-ted for many years in this Institution. Hamilton L. Smith, A. M., ami Joskimi IJ. McDaniels, A. M., the former Professor of Astronomy jind Natural Philosophy, the latter of the Greek Language and Literature, are both masters of their respect- ive departments, and both enjoy enviable popularity anr.mir the students. Under the direction and management of Prof. Smith, a large and handsome observatory is now being rapidly built- and will soon be com- pleted. 11 is provided with a fine achromatic telescope, of which the diameter of the object glass has a clear aperture of ) inches, with a focal length of l. feet. It is mounted erjimtoriully ; the circles being of 1 3 inch diameter, with clock-work movement. In connection with the observatory is a sidereal clock with mercurial pendulum and steel cistern. Extensive and valuable additions have this year been made to the Cabinet of Philosophical apparatu . These improvement will greatly facilitate the instructions given by Prof. «Smith, besides adding interest and attraction to the College. The Libt ary has also been enriched by the addition of many recant and valuable works. The two Debating Societies are in active working order, ami the spirit of generous opposition manifested between tlu m bespeaks future pros- perity. We hope the series of public debates that lias been begun this year will continue, for we believe they are the only means by which a spirit of generous rivalry can be excited between tin Societies, and which will awaken among the friends and patrons of the College an interest in their behalf. Debating Societies arc in general too feebly supported by the institutions where they exist. They not only need the encourage- ment and sanction of our college- , but often a more substantial proof of their benevolence.
