Prof. Swindler Writes From Pittsburg University.

The Republican has received the following letter from Prof. J. A. Swindler, who resigned as principal of 4he Rensselaer schools in order to accept a position with the faculty of Pittsburg University: “Please send The Republican to me at the following address: 235 Oakland Ave., Pittsburg, Pa. I have a nice place over here and like it fine. Don’t find the work quite so heavy as it is in Rensselaer. There are 3,200 students and 330 professors in the university. This school is growing very rapidly. A movement is on foot to raise $3,000,000 among the students and alumni. Qvers2,ooo,000 of this has been raised. This will go toward new buildings and to enlarge the present equipment. “Mrs. Swindler has been spending the past week with her parents at Otterbein and will come here in about two weeks. Although we both hesitated to leave Rensselaer and the friends and good people whose acquaintances we had scarcely made, still we hope to have a very pleasant year here." - - ——————-
