Published by the Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon from 1845 to 1885, The Friend focused on temperance and Christian mission to seamen. It began as a monthly newspaper that included news from both American and English newspapers, and gradually expanded to adding announcements of upcoming events, reprints of sermons, poetry, local news, editorials, ship arrivals and departures and a listing of marriages and deaths. From 1885 through 1887, it was co-edited by the Revs. Cruzan and Oggel. The editorship then passed to Rev. Sereno Bishop, who held the post until the publication of the paper fell under the auspices of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in April of 1902 where it remained until June 1954. Since then, it has continued in a different format under the Hawaii Conference-United Church of Christ up to the present day, making it the oldest existing newspaper in the Pacific. Note that there are some irregularities in the numbering of individual issues, so that two issues may have the same volume and number, but different dates will distinguish them. - - --- · - - - -- - --- _-_-_-__-_-- ---_-::::-_:::--_-_-_-_---======== --- ;tlelu .§rrirs, {fol. 1o.

AMHERST, Mass., July 13, 1871. l\h DEAR MR. DAMO.N :-1 shall always be indebted to you for the pleasure I enjoyed from my visit to Amherst, and my attendance at the semi-centennial anniversary exercises, which took place this week; for had I not been so pressingly urged by you to go, I might not have been present there. A brief sketch from me may not be unwelcome, unless you are favored with a fuller and more graphic account from some abler pen. Those who have never been in Amherst may not be aware how beautifully it is situated on a gentle knoll in the bro~d valley of the Connecticut, su rronnded by an amphitheatre of disti1nt hills, of which the Holyoke range and Mount T,ji11, with the broad river rolling throug-h the precipitons gap 1 rent for its passage thro.ugh thf> range, form the most con,spicuous p.o inrs. Viewed from tl\e lofty tower of the College Chanel, in this lovely month of July. the scPne was almost indescribably bea\lt' ul. The village has a population of nbout 4,000, and b,esides the College bearing its name, is noted for the Agricultural College. jointly endowed by Congress and the State of Massachusetts with a fond amounting to over $500,000,. had the pleasure of visiting the grounds of the insti• tntion in company with its President, Col. Wm. S. Clark, who married M,iss Harriet Richards Williston, formerly of our islands. There have been 141' students it1 attendance during the past. year, of whom 26 will he graduated next week. 1 gathered from tllf" President a ma~s of interesting statistics regarding the institution which f may use in some fut.u re article. To attempt to describe the commencement exercises in full would take too much space, for they occupied five days, and I will confine my sketch to the juoolee, which took place on the 12th. lt is stated that between 700 and 800 alumni were present this day, and probably the nurnb~r of strangers present could not have been less than 2,500. To accommodate ·these a mammoth tent had been erected, capaWe of seating 3,000, while at least 1,000 moi·e were within hearing of tbe speakers. '_fhe morning session was occupied by President Stearns, who delivered the address of welcome, and by Prof. Tyler, r T H 11~ .,, R I Ii~ N D, S E P T E rtJ B E It , l --- - -• --- - ---· --- · - ts 7I• -- -- --- - --· --- - - --- --- ~.::::::::::=====- who gave a very lengthy historical address. set his wits to work, invented rnachinerv, Ii ighes t eduration whi r. h it rn poss ible to gain The latter occupies nearly two pages of the built a factory, and commenced the man{1- rn America bas been settled, and that long ~pringfield .Republicon, a copy of which I send you. But the afternoon was the great ucrasion of the day, when old Amherst was jubilant. The meeting was presid_e d over by your dass-rhate, . Ex-Governor Bullock, one of the most-graceful, pleasing s_peakers it was ever my good fortune to listen to. I had, by spec ial favor, secured a seat directly under the · rostrum, where I could hear every word of the ' fine address. Dr. Humphr~ys, Prof. Snell, Prof. Parke, Dr. fl itchcork and others spoke but the finest address was made by Mr. Beecher. I have heard him often before, many years ago, but was never so struck with his wonderful gift of oratorythe words and utterances seemed to flow from his lips without the least effort, full of wit, humor and sound good sense. Gov. Bullock had, in his addre8s, warmly advo,·ated opening the doors of Amherst College to fem ale students, and offered to bestow a f un<l to endow female scholarships. But Mr. Beecher took up the subject, and i£1 a masterly, r:onvincing argument, proved that it was not only a necessity, but that the collP.ge doors would be opened "as sure as I talk to you and you listen to me." If you r opy a portion of his address, particularly his n rg11111ent on the economy of the plan, it will interest your readers. \Vhen he spoke of its being "a heap sight cheaper" to educate women with men, he accompanied it with a peculiar expression and shrug, just as you often see farmers do when trying to enforce an argument with the same language. This told with wonderful effect on his audience. There is something strange about the power whil'h Mr. Beecber possesses over his audience. He seems to magnetize them, anc.l hold them completely in his power by some superhuman agency. While wall,ing with Mrs. W. in Walker Hall, I met Mr. Beecher, who instantly recognized us, and gave us a cordial greeting. He is not looking well,. is evid011tly over-worked n nd needs rest-a longer rest than he can find here where he is so often called on to speak. 1 urged him to make a trip to our islands, in which he is much interested, and concerning which he had many questions to · ask. At last he consented to go, on two conditions-one of which is, that he shall not be asked to preach while at the islands. So he intends to ask his people for three or four months leave of absence in 1872, and make a trip to the Hawaiian Islands. lf you can get up an eruption for him on Hawaii, to come off during his visit, I am sure it will furnish material for discourses for twenty years to come. But to return to the jubilee, The morning !;ession was presided over by the venerable Seth Williston, of East Hampton, whose princely gifts to Amherst and other literary institutions have made his name famous. He has just donated $50,000 to the College. I could not help thinking, as I saw him seated on the platform, of his humble origin, when he sat down, fifty odd years ago, by t,he side of his wife, who was making a coat for him, and undertook to assist her by making the buttons for h'is coat. This little task put <l- new thought into his head-why may not buttons be made by machinery ? So he facture of button~, which was the foundation uf a fortune, estimated now at millions. It is to be hoped - that this worthy and good man will, in the absence of heirs near of kin, leave hi~ property, after death, to Amherst, or other deserving- literary institutions. Would that Oahu College might be among the number! The la~t two or three years have made great changes in the appearance of the College buildrngs and surroundings. I refer to Walker Hall anu th,e new Stearns' Memorial Chapel. The former is a three-story granite building, of fine architectural design, the upper story being dPvoted exclusively to the Shepherd Mineralogical Cabinet, ~which is beyond question one of the finest in the country. The richness of the specimens, their costliness, and the manner in which they are polished or fini8hed and arrauged, can hardly be surpassed. Dr. Walker has, in this hall, a monument that will perpetuate his name as long as Amherst stands. The new Chapel is built of the same material. of gothi<; style of architecture, but is not yet quite completed. It will be unquestionably one of the most beautiful churches m the United States. lt is erected by a gift from one of President Stearns' sons, in memory of another killed m the war. But my letter has already exceeded the space you ought to allot to it. l will close by addiog that I met Mr. Chickering, one of the graduates of 187 I. who has been aRpointed to be professor of languages at Punahou College. He stands high in the estimation of his friends, and will, no doubt, give good satisfaction. On the whole the jubilee has been an occasion of which Amherst and all the friends of the College may well be proud. And its observance will doubtless result in her pecuniary benefit. Aloha nui. H. M:W. Rev. H. \\ -. Beecher's Remarks~ at the Amherst Semi-centeuial. The governor has alluded to another matter which I wish to say one single word about, and that to discriminate rather than to advocate. There has been an application on the part of two young ladies to be admitted to instruction in this college, if they are competent to pass the ordinary examination. That matter is under advisement at present by the board of trustees. It is very desirable that vague rumors should not go abroad on this subject, and that the questions now under consideration has no connection with those under the general designation of the woman question or the suffrage question. There is nothing of that kind in connection with this matter. It may pass, or it may not pass. Many of the most advanced thinkers on the subject of woman's rights would see their theories practically tried, but however that may be, we have nothing to do with it. It may be best, or it may not be best that woman should have the right to vote. I for one think it would be for her benefit, but others, wise men and most excelJent, are just as positive on the other side. There is no new question proposed. The question whether woman shall have the right to the ago. If there is one thing in which America stauds preeminent, it is this : We believe that woman should be educated according to the measure of her desire and capacity. Un rebuked, woman colleges have been established, besides academies and seminaries, and when the question arises as to whether woman can have the benefit of a collegiate course, it is met in this way, that we have already more colleges than we have need of. Why should we put t.wo schools to do the work of one? Are women so much like men that they need but one church, one catechism, one minister; . alike in almost every thing, and yet so different that they need two sets of instructors, one for men, and one for women in ordinary matters of education? Why, in all the states we are erecting new academies and colleges a hun-dred years ahead of our pecuniary means. Why should we be doubling the cost of education? Why, if Amher:t used the power to instruct these advanced scholars among women, who wish to be teachers and professors, and laborers in the highest fields of science; if Amherst had the liberality to do it, ,vould it be necessary to put half a mill ion doJlars into a women's school at North ampton, and another five hundred thousand to make it good for anything? 'fhiR is like a man spending every cent of money in building his factory, and yet without a cent to pay for an engine to run it. We have plenty of colleges, if only used in a legitimate manner. It is a question of economy. In New England we all understand the worth of an economy article,-it is a "heap sight cheapPr" to educate women, with men. I know that there are other considerations in the matter. It is said, I am aware, that women do not want it. If they do not there is no trouble. If the wornei1 cannot bear the experiences of a collegiate course then they will go away. l know it i:-; settled that women are different from men. Of course they are. I know 1t is said that they cannot do everything that man can do. I d0 not want them to. 1f you plant a rosP.tree and lilacs in the same ground, the plants and flowers will bear their respective flowerR and foliage. So from a collegiate course a woman will take that which assimilates with her own nature, and will be a woman still,, and not a womanish man. l was brought up in my sister's school at Hartford. That accounts for my womanish ways. But it is ail outside for I am inside, a man. A woman would make a womanish use of this ed ucation, and that is what I want to see, a woman's own influence brought to bear in art and literature; it is to make her more woman, and with her power will still be womanly pure. Highly developed in culture her refining influences will be richer and more heavenly. Amherst is for a universal education. If a man be black and is fully prepared, or a woman, and is fully qualified, its doors will open to them. Amherst should lead in this march of progress, and if she does, it will not be the first time that she has led in progress and philanthropy. Amherst will do her duty because she is sent to accomplish a great work, a work which is ju st and right. (Applause.) I' II E F R I 1~ N b .

The whole of contim,ntal Europe,- with 300,000,000 of people, has 203 colleges conferring degrees, while \ve, with little more than a tenth that population, have :l80 institution::;, of which ~04 grant degrees, and the remainder are devoted to law, medicine, theology, and other specialties. All the university endowments of continenal Europe amount to only half a million dollars annually, and none of these owe their endowment to any crown or royal fam1ly. The compensation of European profos::-ors ranges at from $250 to $1,250 a year, while those• of Harvard, Yale, and most American colleges range at four or five times these rates. In England, forty-three heads of colleges and halls, and sixty to eighty ornamental profrssors and lecturers, take very little part in t.he work of education, which is largely dependent on tutors. Making due allowance for difference in cost of living, it i::. certain that our American provision for collegiate education is more adequate and crenerous than that to be found anywhere else in the world, though it has been so short a tiri1e accumulating. The New York Evening Post, discussing these facts at length, concludes : " These facts should put to :,hame all depreciators and traducers of American universities, which, though only in their infancy, compare so favorably with the oldest and most famous institutions of other lands. Mr. Matthew Arnold, in his report to the British Parliament on the educational system of France, Germany, and Italy, says that the entire middle and upper classes of Germany receive a higher and more thorough education than the comparatively small number of Englishmen who go through Oxford and Cambridge Universities. This education is afforded in the gymnasia to those who do not attend the universities, and is compulsory.-American Paper. All1ERICAN CoLLEGE ExPENSEs.-An article rn the Yale College Coura'Pt discusses the question of the yearly expenditures of young men in the American Colleges. It is ::; tuted that, according to an extended inquiry r11ade last summer of youth attending various colleges scattered from Boston to St. Louis, it was ascertained that sums ranging from $225 to $1,500 were given as the annual cost of a college education, the figures genernlly including traveling expenses and clothes. 'For young women pursuing sub::;tantially the same course of education, and adding music and painting, the sums given ranged from $31.'."> to $2. 100. The nnnual cost, it is therefore estimated1 will range from $300 to $1,500 for young men, and from $4~0 to $2,100 for young women, and, rnkinµ- five years for the smallest time re~ quired for preparatory school and college, the total expense of a complete college education i::; for boys from $1.500 to $7,500, and for girls from $2,100 to $10,500. ~hirty years arro, it is stated, a college cducat10n co~t the n~oderately economical student from $1,000 to $1,200.

A gentleman of large observation, recently informed us, that some vears ago, the Legislature of the State of Maine made arrangements to improve its prison s.

The writer begins with the undisputed remark that: A little more than fifty years ago, Rev. T. H. Gallaudet went to France, acquired the sign langua~e as there developed, by the Abbe de C'Epce and the Abbe Sicard, and returning with Mr. Laurent Clere, one of their deaf-mute pupils, established in 1817, at Hintford, Conn, the American Asylum for Deaf-mutes, the first institution of the kind in the country. This was estflblished and supported, p:1rtly by pnvate heueficence, and pa.rtly by State a id. and ns its s11cc0Hs demonstrated the possibility of educating deaf-mutes, their claims 11pon ~ociety were recogm1.ed and there are now in our country thirty-four institutions, with over two hu'ndred tear.hers and nearly four thousand pupils, depending almost wholly upon state appropriations; nor are these in any sense "asylums,'' or their pupils, "in111ates" or " patients ' 1 llS they are often called. But it hnd, for vears, been felt bv those he:-;t acquainted with the capabilities of deafmutes, that there were many among thrm, as among their hearing and speaking brothers, who could pro§tably pursue a college course, and would not only be be.nefitted thereby, but would return to society ·a fair equivalent for thP. expense, in the increased value of the services they would be able to rcnclcr to the State. This was, however, too great arid expens ive a work, to he undertal,e eithPf by private munificence or by any single State. Mainly through the efforts and the gifts of the late Hon. Amos. Kendall, an institution had been started nt Kendall Green, near the . city of Wa:-hington, for the ·benefit of deafmutes, residing in the District of Columbia, s upported pnncip;-illy by appropriations from Congress, and under the management of a Board or Trustees, of which he was President. To the charge of th is, was called Mr. E. M. Gnllaudet (now deservedly L. L. D.) the youngest son of D'r. Galla udet. the fn ther of dei:if-mute instruction in the United States, young, enthusiastic, thoroughly familiar from the cradle, with the ~ign hrng-unge, and speedily giving eviden~ of great executive ability. Besides President Gallaudet, it has four Professors and one Tutor, with fifty st.ndents coming from twenty-two different States, and one from England. The coursP- of study is substantially the same as in all our re~pectable colleges, and the examination papers of the students show perhaps as fair an av€rage . as will be found elsewhere. Two classes have graduated, irnd their nine graduates are now receiving as salaries $9.600 a year, an a vemge of more than $1,000 each ~ome in the department~, une on the Coast Survey, one as tutor, and severa~ teaebing-. The - Institution is delig-htfu lly located about a mile northeast from the Capital, in full view from the cars on thr: Baltimore R. R. The main central building 1s built ol Portland stone, and i:s a fine specimen of mediaeval gothic architecture, an<l the other buildings are convenient and tastefal. .l\'IuNI.FICENT G1FTS TO LEHIGH UN1v1rns1TY.-A letter from Bethlehem, Penn., to the Newark .!J.dvcrtiser, gives the following details of .J mlgc Asa Packer's munificent offer to the Trustees of Lehigh University: "The Lehigh U nive;-sity was founded in 1866 by Hon. Asa Packer, of Mauch Chunk, as a polytechinc institution, having special reference to the mining interests of the coal regions. 'l'he snr1 origi oa l iy bestowed was $500,000, the most of which hfls been used to erect magnificent eollege bDildings, and houses - for the Faculty. Mr. Packer now l11ys the following propositions before the Boa rd of Trustees : '' The institution is to be hereafter under the auspices of the Protestant Episcop,:il Church. The tuition is o be <1bsolutely free in all the regular classes. The original endo\\ ment is to bP increased by $250.00(') as soon as the Boa rd of Trustees rn ises $125,000. A second gift of $:?50 000 will be bestowed when a second $125 000 is raised by the Board. Until the fir~t $125.000 israised, the founder will give $20.000 a year towards the incidental expenses. From these facts it will be seen that Judge Packer intends the institution to succeed; an<l by throwing open the doors under proper regulation to all comers, he has shown himself worthy to be called one of the grPatest patrons of )e11rning in this conntry. If his conditions are fulfilled he will h;ive ~iven very much over $1,000,000 to this Institution." THE CoLossEU.l\L-Wit.hout gazing with one's own eyes on the mighty fabric it is impossible to comprehend its vastness or its grandeur as a ruin. On the spot where it was reared by Titus and Vespasian, on their return from the conquest of Jerusalem, a lake formerly existed, t.he' worlf of the infamous Nero. Twelve thousand Jewish prisoners of war, brought to Horne to give eclat to a triumph of imperial dignity, in the year A. D. 72, goaded to labor by the whip, laid the foundation of' the Colosseu ru. They worked many years at their task, till Vespasian died. Their decendants, the poor, crushed, despised Jews, may be seen in the Ghetto by any traveler who has tlie curiosity to examine that quarter of the city. Titus deciicated the edifice in the year 80, aud the inauguration lasted one hundred days. Fifty wild beast:, were daily killed, and no less th~11 five thousand were slaughtered in combats in the arena. It was four stories high, oval, without a roof, and would seat comfortably 87,000, besides giving standing-room f~r ·witnessing the spectacles for 22,000 more. An awning protected the audience from sunshine and rain. Pahces of amazing size, public and private ec!ifices, and structures without number, have been built out ot brick taken from its wall~ for several hundrerl. years, and yet the re1nainit1g lllass i:s oue of the wonders of the world. Happily all further depredations have been interdieted, and some attempt:-; made to repair the weakest parts, so that the Colosseum may perhaps remain intact, ruin as it i::-, for two thousand years longer. The J<'armer Boys Triumphant, The newspapers have much to report about boat racing among collegians. At one time it is Oxford beats Cambridge, and then Yale beats Harvard, but now it is the Farmer Boys of Amherst Agricultural ColWhat lege beats Harvard and Brown. makes the whole affair one great joke, the Yale Cour,mt argues most learnedly that, it ,yould be useless for any college to think of contending with Yale or Harvard, using this patroni:ting langu1:1ge: "\Ve would im• pose upon them the hopelessness .of contending directly with the two leading colleges." Harvard challenges all the colleges in America, and gets terribly beaten by a boat's crew of the Agricultural College of Amherst. The race took place near Springfield, Ma::;~., and a ful! report we find in the Springfield Republican. "The Harvard univen;ity crew, are perhaps the heaviest, and in some resper.ts the most formidable of the contestants, they do not claim the1r ordinary strength, and are certainly eutitled to these drawbacks. Some time ago they lost Lyman, who was perhap~ the strongest man in their ranks. The average weight of the crew is about 160 pounds, they will have to go through another scalinQ' before the race. The Brown leading c~ew are fine, well trained fellows of about 155 pounds average weight, and probably the most regular crew in the field regarding their practice. 'fhe A mhert-t boys have Josh Ward for a trainer, and there is no better in the country. Their weight is about 150 pounds to a man; their well blackened faces show severe attention to business, and they maintain a degree of hopefulness which is by no means presumptuous." - - -- - COLLEGE PE1uov1cALs.-There are now published in the U nite<l States, about one hundred college periodicals; Yale has its Courant, Amherst its Student, Michigau Umversity its Chronicle, and so on we rnigbt This is something publish the long list. quite peculiar to American college life There is no question that it is producti\'C of great good. We always read these pttblit:ntions with interest, whenever they fall iu our way. VALLEJo-GooD TE.l\IPLAR's 0RI'IIAN HoJ\rn. -This now contains thirty-one inmates, and Capt. A. D.

Samuel Chenery Damon from 1845 to 1885, The Friend focused on temperance and Christian mission to seamen. It began as a monthly newspaper that included news from both American and English newspapers, and gradually expanded to adding announcements of upcoming events, reprints of sermons, poetry, local news, editorials, ship arrivals and departures and a listing of marriages and deaths. From 1885 through 1887, it was co-edited by the Revs. Cruzan and Oggel. The editorship then passed to Rev. Sereno Bishop, who held the post until the publication of the paper fell under the auspices of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in April of 1902 where it remained until June 1954. Since then, it has continued in a different format under the Hawaii Conference-United Church of Christ up to the present day, making it the oldest existing newspaper in the Pacific. Note that there are some irregularities in the numbering of individual issues, so that two issues may have the same volume and number, but different dates will distinguish them. - - --- · - - - -- - --- _-_-_-__-_-- ---_-::::-_:::--_-_-_-_---======== --- ;tlelu .§rrirs, {fol. 1o.

AMHERST, Mass., July 13, 1871. l\h DEAR MR. DAMO.N :-1 shall always be indebted to you for the pleasure I enjoyed from my visit to Amherst, and my attendance at the semi-centennial anniversary exercises, which took place this week; for had I not been so pressingly urged by you to go, I might not have been present there. A brief sketch from me may not be unwelcome, unless you are favored with a fuller and more graphic account from some abler pen. Those who have never been in Amherst may not be aware how beautifully it is situated on a gentle knoll in the bro~d valley of the Connecticut, su rronnded by an amphitheatre of disti1nt hills, of which the Holyoke range and Mount T,ji11, with the broad river rolling throug-h the precipitons gap 1 rent for its passage thro.ugh thf> range, form the most con,spicuous p.o inrs. Viewed from tl\e lofty tower of the College Chanel, in this lovely month of July. the scPne was almost indescribably bea\lt' ul. The village has a population of nbout 4,000, and b,esides the College bearing its name, is noted for the Agricultural College. jointly endowed by Congress and the State of Massachusetts with a fond amounting to over $500,000,. had the pleasure of visiting the grounds of the insti• tntion in company with its President, Col. Wm. S. Clark, who married M,iss Harriet Richards Williston, formerly of our islands. There have been 141' students it1 attendance during the past. year, of whom 26 will he graduated next week. 1 gathered from tllf" President a ma~s of interesting statistics regarding the institution which f may use in some fut.u re article. To attempt to describe the commencement exercises in full would take too much space, for they occupied five days, and I will confine my sketch to the juoolee, which took place on the 12th. lt is stated that between 700 and 800 alumni were present this day, and probably the nurnb~r of strangers present could not have been less than 2,500. To accommodate ·these a mammoth tent had been erected, capaWe of seating 3,000, while at least 1,000 moi·e were within hearing of tbe speakers. '_fhe morning session was occupied by President Stearns, who delivered the address of welcome, and by Prof. Tyler, r T H 11~ .,, R I Ii~ N D, S E P T E rtJ B E It , l --- - -• --- - ---· --- · - ts 7I• -- -- --- - --· --- - - --- --- ~.::::::::::=====- who gave a very lengthy historical address. set his wits to work, invented rnachinerv, Ii ighes t eduration whi r. h it rn poss ible to gain The latter occupies nearly two pages of the built a factory, and commenced the man{1- rn America bas been settled, and that long ~pringfield .Republicon, a copy of which I send you. But the afternoon was the great ucrasion of the day, when old Amherst was jubilant. The meeting was presid_e d over by your dass-rhate, . Ex-Governor Bullock, one of the most-graceful, pleasing s_peakers it was ever my good fortune to listen to. I had, by spec ial favor, secured a seat directly under the · rostrum, where I could hear every word of the ' fine address. Dr. Humphr~ys, Prof. Snell, Prof. Parke, Dr. fl itchcork and others spoke but the finest address was made by Mr. Beecher. I have heard him often before, many years ago, but was never so struck with his wonderful gift of oratorythe words and utterances seemed to flow from his lips without the least effort, full of wit, humor and sound good sense. Gov. Bullock had, in his addre8s, warmly advo,·ated opening the doors of Amherst College to fem ale students, and offered to bestow a f un<l to endow female scholarships. But Mr. Beecher took up the subject, and i£1 a masterly, r:onvincing argument, proved that it was not only a necessity, but that the collP.ge doors would be opened "as sure as I talk to you and you listen to me." If you r opy a portion of his address, particularly his n rg11111ent on the economy of the plan, it will interest your readers. \Vhen he spoke of its being "a heap sight cheaper" to educate women with men, he accompanied it with a peculiar expression and shrug, just as you often see farmers do when trying to enforce an argument with the same language. This told with wonderful effect on his audience. There is something strange about the power whil'h Mr. Beecber possesses over his audience. He seems to magnetize them, anc.l hold them completely in his power by some superhuman agency. While wall,ing with Mrs. W. in Walker Hall, I met Mr. Beecher, who instantly recognized us, and gave us a cordial greeting. He is not looking well,. is evid011tly over-worked n nd needs rest-a longer rest than he can find here where he is so often called on to speak. 1 urged him to make a trip to our islands, in which he is much interested, and concerning which he had many questions to · ask. At last he consented to go, on two conditions-one of which is, that he shall not be asked to preach while at the islands. So he intends to ask his people for three or four months leave of absence in 1872, and make a trip to the Hawaiian Islands. lf you can get up an eruption for him on Hawaii, to come off during his visit, I am sure it will furnish material for discourses for twenty years to come. But to return to the jubilee, The morning !;ession was presided over by the venerable Seth Williston, of East Hampton, whose princely gifts to Amherst and other literary institutions have made his name famous. He has just donated $50,000 to the College. I could not help thinking, as I saw him seated on the platform, of his humble origin, when he sat down, fifty odd years ago, by t,he side of his wife, who was making a coat for him, and undertook to assist her by making the buttons for h'is coat. This little task put <l- new thought into his head-why may not buttons be made by machinery ? So he facture of button~, which was the foundation uf a fortune, estimated now at millions. It is to be hoped - that this worthy and good man will, in the absence of heirs near of kin, leave hi~ property, after death, to Amherst, or other deserving- literary institutions. Would that Oahu College might be among the number! The la~t two or three years have made great changes in the appearance of the College buildrngs and surroundings. I refer to Walker Hall anu th,e new Stearns' Memorial Chapel. The former is a three-story granite building, of fine architectural design, the upper story being dPvoted exclusively to the Shepherd Mineralogical Cabinet, ~which is beyond question one of the finest in the country. The richness of the specimens, their costliness, and the manner in which they are polished or fini8hed and arrauged, can hardly be surpassed. Dr. Walker has, in this hall, a monument that will perpetuate his name as long as Amherst stands. The new Chapel is built of the same material. of gothi<; style of architecture, but is not yet quite completed. It will be unquestionably one of the most beautiful churches m the United States. lt is erected by a gift from one of President Stearns' sons, in memory of another killed m the war. But my letter has already exceeded the space you ought to allot to it. l will close by addiog that I met Mr. Chickering, one of the graduates of 187 I. who has been aRpointed to be professor of languages at Punahou College. He stands high in the estimation of his friends, and will, no doubt, give good satisfaction. On the whole the jubilee has been an occasion of which Amherst and all the friends of the College may well be proud. And its observance will doubtless result in her pecuniary benefit. Aloha nui. H. M:W. Rev. H. \\ -. Beecher's Remarks~ at the Amherst Semi-centeuial. The governor has alluded to another matter which I wish to say one single word about, and that to discriminate rather than to advocate. There has been an application on the part of two young ladies to be admitted to instruction in this college, if they are competent to pass the ordinary examination. That matter is under advisement at present by the board of trustees. It is very desirable that vague rumors should not go abroad on this subject, and that the questions now under consideration has no connection with those under the general designation of the woman question or the suffrage question. There is nothing of that kind in connection with this matter. It may pass, or it may not pass. Many of the most advanced thinkers on the subject of woman's rights would see their theories practically tried, but however that may be, we have nothing to do with it. It may be best, or it may not be best that woman should have the right to vote. I for one think it would be for her benefit, but others, wise men and most excelJent, are just as positive on the other side. There is no new question proposed. The question whether woman shall have the right to the ago. If there is one thing in which America stauds preeminent, it is this : We believe that woman should be educated according to the measure of her desire and capacity. Un rebuked, woman colleges have been established, besides academies and seminaries, and when the question arises as to whether woman can have the benefit of a collegiate course, it is met in this way, that we have already more colleges than we have need of. Why should we put t.wo schools to do the work of one? Are women so much like men that they need but one church, one catechism, one minister; . alike in almost every thing, and yet so different that they need two sets of instructors, one for men, and one for women in ordinary matters of education? Why, in all the states we are erecting new academies and colleges a hun-dred years ahead of our pecuniary means. Why should we be doubling the cost of education? Why, if Amher:t used the power to instruct these advanced scholars among women, who wish to be teachers and professors, and laborers in the highest fields of science; if Amherst had the liberality to do it, ,vould it be necessary to put half a mill ion doJlars into a women's school at North ampton, and another five hundred thousand to make it good for anything? 'fhiR is like a man spending every cent of money in building his factory, and yet without a cent to pay for an engine to run it. We have plenty of colleges, if only used in a legitimate manner. It is a question of economy. In New England we all understand the worth of an economy article,-it is a "heap sight cheapPr" to educate women, with men. I know that there are other considerations in the matter. It is said, I am aware, that women do not want it. If they do not there is no trouble. If the wornei1 cannot bear the experiences of a collegiate course then they will go away. l know it i:-; settled that women are different from men. Of course they are. I know 1t is said that they cannot do everything that man can do. I d0 not want them to. 1f you plant a rosP.tree and lilacs in the same ground, the plants and flowers will bear their respective flowerR and foliage. So from a collegiate course a woman will take that which assimilates with her own nature, and will be a woman still,, and not a womanish man. l was brought up in my sister's school at Hartford. That accounts for my womanish ways. But it is ail outside for I am inside, a man. A woman would make a womanish use of this ed ucation, and that is what I want to see, a woman's own influence brought to bear in art and literature; it is to make her more woman, and with her power will still be womanly pure. Highly developed in culture her refining influences will be richer and more heavenly. Amherst is for a universal education. If a man be black and is fully prepared, or a woman, and is fully qualified, its doors will open to them. Amherst should lead in this march of progress, and if she does, it will not be the first time that she has led in progress and philanthropy. Amherst will do her duty because she is sent to accomplish a great work, a work which is ju st and right. (Applause.) I' II E F R I 1~ N b .

The whole of contim,ntal Europe,- with 300,000,000 of people, has 203 colleges conferring degrees, while \ve, with little more than a tenth that population, have :l80 institution::;, of which ~04 grant degrees, and the remainder are devoted to law, medicine, theology, and other specialties. All the university endowments of continenal Europe amount to only half a million dollars annually, and none of these owe their endowment to any crown or royal fam1ly. The compensation of European profos::-ors ranges at from $250 to $1,250 a year, while those• of Harvard, Yale, and most American colleges range at four or five times these rates. In England, forty-three heads of colleges and halls, and sixty to eighty ornamental profrssors and lecturers, take very little part in t.he work of education, which is largely dependent on tutors. Making due allowance for difference in cost of living, it i::. certain that our American provision for collegiate education is more adequate and crenerous than that to be found anywhere else in the world, though it has been so short a tiri1e accumulating. The New York Evening Post, discussing these facts at length, concludes : " These facts should put to :,hame all depreciators and traducers of American universities, which, though only in their infancy, compare so favorably with the oldest and most famous institutions of other lands. Mr. Matthew Arnold, in his report to the British Parliament on the educational system of France, Germany, and Italy, says that the entire middle and upper classes of Germany receive a higher and more thorough education than the comparatively small number of Englishmen who go through Oxford and Cambridge Universities. This education is afforded in the gymnasia to those who do not attend the universities, and is compulsory.-American Paper. All1ERICAN CoLLEGE ExPENSEs.-An article rn the Yale College Coura'Pt discusses the question of the yearly expenditures of young men in the American Colleges. It is ::; tuted that, according to an extended inquiry r11ade last summer of youth attending various colleges scattered from Boston to St. Louis, it was ascertained that sums ranging from $225 to $1,500 were given as the annual cost of a college education, the figures genernlly including traveling expenses and clothes. 'For young women pursuing sub::;tantially the same course of education, and adding music and painting, the sums given ranged from $31.'."> to $2. 100.

The following, from Prof. J. W. Ch1ckrring of \iVash1ngtou, D. C., will be read with lively intere:-,t by those whose beart8 1,indle it1 view of the fact that the Christian St»te, 1n modern times count:-, it not the least among Its du tie:-:, to provide, whenever possible. special privileges for those classes of it:s citizen::, Whd may labor under special cli~abil itics, and to "seek to fit every man for th<' be:,;t work of which he is capable. The writer begins with the undisputed remark that: A little more than fifty years ago, Rev. T. H. Gallaudet went to France, acquired the sign langua~e as there developed, by the Abbe de C'Epce and the Abbe Sicard, and returning with Mr. Laurent Clere, one of their deaf-mute pupils, established in 1817, at Hintford, Conn, the American Asylum for Deaf-mutes, the first institution of the kind in the country. This was estflblished and supported, p:1rtly by pnvate heueficence, and pa.rtly by State a id. and ns its s11cc0Hs demonstrated the possibility of educating deaf-mutes, their claims 11pon ~ociety were recogm1.ed and there are now in our country thirty-four institutions, with over two hu'ndred tear.hers and nearly four thousand pupils, depending almost wholly upon state appropriations; nor are these in any sense "asylums,'' or their pupils, "in111ates" or " patients ' 1 llS they are often called. But it hnd, for vears, been felt bv those he:-;t acquainted with the capabilities of deafmutes, that there were many among thrm, as among their hearing and speaking brothers, who could pro§tably pursue a college course, and would not only be be.nefitted thereby, but would return to society ·a fair equivalent for thP. expense, in the increased value of the services they would be able to rcnclcr to the State. This was, however, too great arid expens ive a work, to he undertal,e eithPf by private munificence or by any single State. Mainly through the efforts and the gifts of the late Hon. Amos. Kendall, an institution had been started nt Kendall Green, near the . city of Wa:-hington, for the ·benefit of deafmutes, residing in the District of Columbia, s upported pnncip;-illy by appropriations from Congress, and under the management of a Board or Trustees, of which he was President. To the charge of th is, was called Mr. E. M. Gnllaudet (now deservedly L. L. D.) the youngest son of D'r. Galla udet. the fn ther of dei:if-mute instruction in the United States, young, enthusiastic, thoroughly familiar from the cradle, with the ~ign hrng-unge, and speedily giving eviden~ of great executive ability. Besides President Gallaudet, it has four Professors and one Tutor, with fifty st.ndents coming from twenty-two different States, and one from England. The coursP- of study is substantially the same as in all our re~pectable colleges, and the examination papers of the students show perhaps as fair an av€rage . as will be found elsewhere. Two classes have graduated, irnd their nine graduates are now receiving as salaries $9.600 a year, an a vemge of more than $1,000 each ~ome in the department~, une on the Coast Survey, one as tutor, and severa~ teaebing-. The - Institution is delig-htfu lly located about a mile northeast from the Capital, in full view from the cars on thr: Baltimore R. R. The main central building 1s built ol Portland stone, and i:s a fine specimen of mediaeval gothic architecture, an<l the other buildings are convenient and tastefal. .l\'IuNI.FICENT G1FTS TO LEHIGH UN1v1rns1TY.-A letter from Bethlehem, Penn., to the Newark .!J.dvcrtiser, gives the following details of .J mlgc Asa Packer's munificent offer to the Trustees of Lehigh University: "The Lehigh U nive;-sity was founded in 1866 by Hon. Asa Packer, of Mauch Chunk, as a polytechinc institution, having special reference to the mining interests of the coal regions. 'l'he snr1 origi oa l iy bestowed was $500,000, the most of which hfls been used to erect magnificent eollege bDildings, and houses - for the Faculty. Mr. Packer now l11ys the following propositions before the Boa rd of Trustees : '' The institution is to be hereafter under the auspices of the Protestant Episcop,:il Church. The tuition is o be <1bsolutely free in all the regular classes. The original endo\\ ment is to bP increased by $250.00(') as soon as the Boa rd of Trustees rn ises $125,000. A second gift of $:?50 000 will be bestowed when a second $125 000 is raised by the Board. Until the fir~t $125.000 israised, the founder will give $20.000 a year towards the incidental expenses. From these facts it will be seen that Judge Packer intends the institution to succeed; an<l by throwing open the doors under proper regulation to all comers, he has shown himself worthy to be called one of the grPatest patrons of )e11rning in this conntry. If his conditions are fulfilled he will h;ive ~iven very much over $1,000,000 to this Institution." THE CoLossEU.l\L-Wit.hout gazing with one's own eyes on the mighty fabric it is impossible to comprehend its vastness or its grandeur as a ruin. On the spot where it was reared by Titus and Vespasian, on their return from the conquest of Jerusalem, a lake formerly existed, t.he' worlf of the infamous Nero. Twelve thousand Jewish prisoners of war, brought to Horne to give eclat to a triumph of imperial dignity, in the year A. D. 72, goaded to labor by the whip, laid the foundation of' the Colosseu ru. They worked many years at their task, till Vespasian died. Their decendants, the poor, crushed, despised Jews, may be seen in the Ghetto by any traveler who has tlie curiosity to examine that quarter of the city. Titus deciicated the edifice in the year 80, aud the inauguration lasted one hundred days. Fifty wild beast:, were daily killed, and no less th~11 five thousand were slaughtered in combats in the arena. It was four stories high, oval, without a roof, and would seat comfortably 87,000, besides giving standing-room f~r ·witnessing the spectacles for 22,000 more.

Pahces of amazing size, public and private ec!ifices, and structures without number, have been built out ot brick taken from its wall~ for several hundrerl. years, and yet the re1nainit1g lllass i:s oue of the wonders of the world. Happily all further depredations have been interdieted, and some attempt:-; made to repair the weakest parts, so that the Colosseum may perhaps remain intact, ruin as it i::-, for two thousand years longer. The J<'armer Boys Triumphant, The newspapers have much to report about boat racing among collegians. At one time it is Oxford beats Cambridge, and then Yale beats Harvard, but now it is the Farmer Boys of Amherst Agricultural ColWhat lege beats Harvard and Brown. makes the whole affair one great joke, the Yale Cour,mt argues most learnedly that, it ,yould be useless for any college to think of contending with Yale or Harvard, using this patroni:ting langu1:1ge: "\Ve would im• pose upon them the hopelessness .of contending directly with the two leading colleges." Harvard challenges all the colleges in America, and gets terribly beaten by a boat's crew of the Agricultural College of Amherst. The race took place near Springfield, Ma::;~., and a ful! report we find in the Springfield Republican. "The Harvard univen;ity crew, are perhaps the heaviest, and in some resper.ts the most formidable of the contestants, they do not claim the1r ordinary strength, and are certainly eutitled to these drawbacks. Some time ago they lost Lyman, who was perhap~ the strongest man in their ranks. The average weight of the crew is about 160 pounds, they will have to go through another scalinQ' before the race. The Brown leading c~ew are fine, well trained fellows of about 155 pounds average weight, and probably the most regular crew in the field regarding their practice. 'fhe A mhert-t boys have Josh Ward for a trainer, and there is no better in the country. Their weight is about 150 pounds to a man; their well blackened faces show severe attention to business, and they maintain a degree of hopefulness which is by no means presumptuous." - - -- - COLLEGE PE1uov1cALs.-There are now published in the U nite<l States, about one hundred college periodicals; Yale has its Courant, Amherst its Student, Michigau Umversity its Chronicle, and so on we rnigbt This is something publish the long list. quite peculiar to American college life There is no question that it is producti\'C of great good. We always read these pttblit:ntions with interest, whenever they fall iu our way. VALLEJo-GooD TE.l\IPLAR's 0RI'IIAN HoJ\rn. -This now contains thirty-one inmates, and Capt. A. D.
