Here the student findsdesired quietness and a growing interest is evinced in the direction of reading. At this time also was dedicated Adelphic Hall and next Com- mencement will be held the dedication of the no less beauti- ful Phi Alpha Bi Hall, the home of the brother society. In all departments has the College developed with almost miraculous rapidity. The scientific branches, indeed, seem to be fused with new life and to justly call the close attention of the students. The Conservatory of Music, under a most efficient director, offers the best of instruction. Old Colonial is now transformed into a pleasant, well-furnished Gymna- sium. Competent instructors have been secured anld ,classes organized which both gentlemen and ladies are required to attend. The number of students has steadily increased until there are now enrolled three hundred and seventy-eight. While many have been the improvements, yet its rapid growth require still many others. Olivet's friends are look- ing to see at no distant time a new church, a new Conserva- tory building, an Observatory and still other improvements to be made to meet the t-growing demand.. What is Oli- vetts future can only be imagined from its rapid progress in the past. It has seemed to be ever blessed by the hand of an over-ruling Providence, and has been brought through many dark days to its grand present and still much more promising future.
