dying, but of course it was in a languishing condition. It was almost a leap in the dark for Dr. Manning, with a large famih ' , to remove to Chapel Hill, with no salary promised, on the prospect of realizing a support from tuition money of his students. The venture shows his far-seeing sagacity. Begin- ning with a class of seven, he has had under his instruction in 1897-98, eighty -seven students. He secured this wonderful success by hard work and faithful teaching, by intelligent sympathy with the needs of young men, and insisting on honest labor on their part. The reputation of the school for thoroughness has spread to distant states. The hold possessed by Dr. Manning on the hearts of his students is boundless. They admire and respect his learning and skill in instruction, they reverence his piety and unbending integrity, and repay his kindly interest in their welfare with the sincerest gratitude and affection. This sketch would be incomplete if the fact should be omitted that Dr. Manning has from boyhood been a faithful follower of Christ and not ashamed to avow it. He has been an active member of the church of his forefathers, the Protestant Episcopal, holding nearly all its offices which can be conferred on a layman, including a seat in its General Convention.
