The institution bearing the general name of "Kalamazoo College," embraces several departments, each, to a considerable extent, distinct from the others, and is, properly speaking, a university. It embraces a college proper, designed to furnish instruction to young men in a four years' course of study similar to that adopted in the best institutions of other States. It also embraces a Female Department, with a four years' course, including all the higher branches usually taught in colleges of this class. Also, a Preparatory Department, open to the youth of both sexes who wish to fit themselves for a college course, or to pursue English or Classical studies to only a limited extent. A Commercial Department, with a thorough, practical and comprehensive course of study, designed to fit the student for any situation of commercial or business life. Lastly, there is a Normal Department, where students are instructed by the regular College Professors and teachers provided for that purpose, in the theory and practice of the profession. This college was chartered in 1833, and is consequently the oldest literary institution in the State. The first building erected was burned in 1844. The present main building, proper, the main front of which has an easterly (male department), situated on "Mt. Carmel,' aspect, consists of a center and six wings. in the westerly part of the village, was The center portion of the main building is erected in 1848, and is 104x46 feet, and four divided by the entrance hall into two nearly stories high.

The second floor is appropriated exclusively to the use of the Medical Superintendent. Upon the third floor are the apartments of the assistant physicians, steward and matron. The basement contains the laboratory connected with the apothecary shop, and the officers' kitchen and store rooms. Immediately behind the center building is the chapel, and still further in the rear the engine and boiler house. Extending from the center building, towards the south for males, and towards the north for females, are the several wards of the Institution, nine on each side, including the infirmaries. The material used is brick, with iron braces and girders, and with window sills, caps, brackets, belt courses and capitals of Athens marble. All the floors are laid upon brick arches, which, besides guarding against fire, give additional security and durability to the building. The style of architecture is what is known as the "Modern Italian," and combines grace and beauty with strength and economy. (FEMALE DEPARTMENT.) Mrs. L. H. Stone, Principal, and Teacher of History and English Literature; Mrs. Martha L. Osborn, Teacher of Latin and Mathematics; Miss Lucia A. Eames, Teacher of Painting and Drawing; Mr. J. Maurice Hubbard, Mrs. Sarah Hubbard, Teachers of Instrumental and Focal Music; A. Rudolph Bretzel, Teacher of German; Martin Leroy, Teacher of French. MICHIGAN ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE. This beautiful structure is situated upon an irregular em nence about one mile south of the village of Kalamazoo, sufficiently elevated from the river to secure a good prospect, yet well sheltered and of easy access from the plain below. The location is in every respect healthtul and desirable, and well adapted to the purposes of an institution for the successful treatment of mental disease. The Asylum has connected with it an excel let farm of 167 acres, most of which is in a high state of cultivation, although a large portion is covered with the original growth of oak, hickory and other trees. The buildings themselves, when finished, will cover an area of one and one-third acres. The original plans were furnished principally by Dr. John P. Gray, the accomplished Superintendent of the New York State Lunatic Asylum, at Utica. The centre, building and south wing, with the necessary offices, are now completed, while the north wing will probably be finished the coming year.
