the war the College had contained one hundred and seventy-
one pupils. Theie is a library of 3,650 volumes. The
chemical and philosophical apparatus, though it has cost but
$600, is sufficient for ordinary illusrtation. Besides this,
there are cabinets of minerals, gems, coins, and other objects
of interest.

When the College was instituted it was intended in
part as a training school for teachers. This object has
been steadily kept in view, and of one hundred and sixty
young ladies who have graduated in the institution, fifty-
eight have devoted themselves to the profession of teaching.
In addition to the above, twenty-four others, educated in the
College, but who did not remain long enough to graduate,
have engaged in teaching as a profession. These teachers
employed in Female Colleges, High Schools, Public Schools,
and other seminaries of learning in our own State and in
other States, are now rendering important service in the cause
of education.

That the College might be efficient in rearing a body of
competent teachers for the State, the trustees asked and ob-
tained an endowment of twenty-two hundred dollars per an-
num, for which they educate in all the branches of the col-
lege course one pupil from each county in the state, and one
from the City of Baltimore. This promises good success, as
there is in many of the counties a great desire to obtain
scholarships, and a number of the young ladies educated on
these scholarships are now engaged in teaching. Last year
twenty-one of the twenty-two scholarships were filled, and
from applications and enquiries we have reason to believe
that, during the present collegiate year, all the scholarships
will be filled. The following young ladies are now in atten-
dance from their respective counties :

Allegany County, Miss Alice McMichael.

Ann A.rundel County, Miss Kate Sprogle.

Baltimore County, Miss Annie M. Torrington.
