Tuscaloosa: Stillman Institute opened
October 5, and now has about thirty students
enrolled. While the total number

course and seven of those in the academic
course have the ministry in view. We
PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOU1
are glad to note that the new students
are as a rule older men than we have
been getting for several years past and
therefore capable of doing more solid
work. Of the five mission Sunday schools
taught by the students, two were kept
"evergreen" by men who stayed in Tuscaloosa
and worked all summer and it is
hoped that all of the others will be opened
within a few weeks.
