Battle Creek College.

By Uriah Smith

It has been decided to give our school this name, more at present for the sake of convenience than for any other reason. Our charter makes provision for all grades of instruction from the primary to the highest. We can therefore use this name though we have not yet all the departments and the full course of instruction that pertain to a college proper. But chiefly this name is now adopted to distinguish our school from other schools in this city. There is no other institution of learning here that goes by that name, hence it will conveniently and fully designate ours.

Those from a distance who have children or friends attending this school, are requested when writing them to put the word College, on one corner of the envelope, as it will greatly facilitate the delivery of their letters. U. S.
