Mr. M. McGuire,
Pixley, Barber Co., Ks.

Dear Sir,

There are not many vacant house in Manhattan generally. A large
number of houses, however, are inhabited by students families sending
children to school. I think you would have no difficulty in finding a
dwelling. As to farms I cannot say; except that in the school district
on which the college borders there are about fifty houses, of which
about fifty are rented, from which it may be inferred that a rented
farm is obtainable. Shortly before the beginning of the fall term, a
list is made up and sent out of boarding houses, houses and rooms to
rent or for sale, &c. We will send you one of these. Every year there
are families who move to Manhattan from various parts of the state in
order to send their children to college. I hope you will do as you
say, and that we may have your son in the college this fall.

We are able at present to mention two houses for rent, the Kedzie
cottage, address Mrs. Manlove, and the Mayo house, address G. W. Higin-
botham. The latter is a large house in one of the best parts of town,
rent $15. Mrs. Manlove's house and Mrs. Pursel's house are for sale.

Very truly yours,
Thomas E. Will,
President.

Are these other fam-
ilies who you mention sup-
plied with college catalogs?

Kansas Farmer,

Gentlemen,

Please make one change in the advertisement of the college:
namely, the date for entrance examinations should be Sept. 8th instead
of 9th. The regular term begins on the 9th.

Truly yours,
Thomas E. Will,
President.
