THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY. * * * * * VOL. XXXVI. JULY, 1882. NO. 7. * * * * * American Missionary Association. * * * * * Our readers will find in this number of the MISSIONARY reports of the anniversaries of seven of our institutions. Other reports will appear in our next issue. It will be seen that the number of pupils in the higher grades of study has been unusually large and that the boarding departments have been crowded as never before. We opened during the year new dormitory buildings at New Orleans, Tougaloo and Talladega. These have given much needed accommodations. By autumn, Livingstone Missionary Hall at Nashville will be ready for occupancy, affording rooms for 140 boarders besides chapel, library and recitation rooms. Stone Hall at Atlanta will also be completed, which, though not a dormitory building, will nevertheless relieve the other buildings so that greater accommodations for students can be secured; but still the pressing need at Atlanta will be more room for the girls’ department.
