  LAFAYETTE COLLEGE.
  
    Lafayette College received its Charter in 1826, chiefly through the exertions
  of the late Hon. James M. Porter, L. L. D. Under the efficient Presidency of
  Rev. Dr. William C. Cattell it has made great advances in its facilities for
  liberal education, the following courses of study being now offered to students,
  viz:
  
    1. CLASSICAL, embracing instruction in the departments of Mathematics, the
  Ancient and Modern Languages, English Philology, the Natural Sciences,
  Philosophy, Biblical Literature and History.
  
  2. GENERAL SCIENTIFIC COURSE.
  
    3. TECHNICAL COURSES in Civil Engineering, Mining Engineering, Assaying,
  Architecture and Chemistry.
  
    Each of these courses embraces four years. In the Report of the National
  Bureau of Education, of the 372 Colleges in the United States, Lafayette ranks
  eighth in the attendance of collegiate students. The Freshman class in 1872
  numbered 105.
  
    Conspicuous among the buildings for instruction crowning the summit of College
  Hill, is the Pardee Hall, 25§ feet in length, and having a floorage of 1 1/2
  acres. At the head of Third Street, is South College, 218 feet front, containing
  the Chapel and numerous class-rooms. Near it are the Astronomical Observatory,
  the Jenks Chemical Hall, and the Metallurgical rooms. On the opposite border of
  the Campus is the row of brick halls - student's residences - designated, from
  liberal contributors to the funds of the institution, Blair, McKeen, Martin,
  Newkirk, and Powell Halls. There are also twelve Professor's houses.
  
    The Faculty number 26, among them men of eminence in their several departments
  of literature and the sciences. The Geological and Botanical collections contain
  35,000 specimens; the Philosophical apparatus is extensive. 
  
    In addition to liberal gifts made to Lafayette College, by A. Pardee, of
  Hazleton, and other donors named above, the citizens of Easton, in 1866, erected
  the EASTONIAN HALL, at a cost of $25,000, and contributed as follows:
