We have now reached, in this brief outhne. which may, we trust, form some sHght basis for a fuller and more complete history of the College in later years, the close of the first fifteen years after the open- ing of the College in ' 69, and beginning as we did with a large Preparatory School, and only one small College class, the Freshmen, we feel that a great work was accomplished in those fifteen years by the earnest efforts of the early founders; but in the fifteen years that have followed, from ' 84 to ' 99 inclusive, the progress has been far greater, and the present condition and bright prospects of the College, with its strong Facultv of fifteen, its 208 College students, and no longer burdened with a Preparatory School, are great causes for gratitude to Him from whom all blessings flow ; and we can now confidently say that the wish publicly expressed at the opening of the College, by one of its early founders, that it might yet be found that they had ' builded better than they knew, has been abundantly realized.
