LEXINGTON:
THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9.
TRANSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY.
The Introductory Lectures the professor of the Medical College attached to this University, commenced on Monday last. It is supposed that upwards of seventy Medical students have arrived in town. Having to the western country was the only consideration, that alone would deserve some notice, for we presume the students now in town, could not attend the Lectures east of the mountains for less than $50,000 for each session: but the amount saved to the state, ought not to be compared with the advantages which this University affords to thousands who can not afford to cross the mountains in search of learning. The whole state must share in the benefits arising out of this institution. The diffusion of useful knowledge into every county, will furnish better teachers in our schools generally—better legislators—better administrators of our laws.
