THE MINISTERIAL SECTION.
(Section 29.)
Section 29, or the Ministerial section, was re- served by congress for the support of religion, in all the townships of the Ohio Company's purchase. The ministerial section in Marietta township came within the, town plat and was for this reason the cause of much trouble to the directors of the company.
The boundary lines of this section are given as follows: Beginning at the intersection of Sixth and Wayne streets, on the Ohio River, the east line runs north, crossing Seventh street near the middle of square No. 71, Eighth and Hart streets at their in- tersection : thence to a point back of College Hill : thence due West crossing Tupper at Seventh street, Sixth, Wooster, Fifth and Fourth streets to the North- west corner of Washington and Third streets; thence due south, crossing Second street. Front street
near its intersection with Wooster, thence in same direction diagonally across the Muskingum river, en. tering Harmar at the intersection of Lancaster and Muskingum streets: thence midway between Second and Third streets and parallel with them to the Ohio river.

MARIETTA SCHOOLS
The first school in Marietta was in Campus Mar- tius, the first teacher being Major Anselm Tupper. Schools were also conducted at "The Point" and at Fort Harmer, with varying success as to securing teachers, until after te Indian War. In 1997 steps were taken to provide better educational advantages and the movement resulted in the completion iu 1800, and its formal opening with David Putnam, a graduate of Yale College, as teacher, of the Musking- um Academy. No attempt will be made to give a connected history of educational matters in Mariet- ta, further than to show that the settlers early realized the advantages of good schools and teach- ers. Today Marietta is second to no city in the state in the matter of schools.

ST. MARY'S PAROCHIAL SCHOOL.
The first Catholic school was established in Ma- rietta about 1856. It was continued for about five years, but conditions in the parish were not ch- couraging and with the breaking out of the Civil War, had to be given up. The present handsome school property on South Fourth street was com. pleted in 1895, through the energy and persistence of Rev. F. M. Woesman, the present pastor of S !. Mary's Church, who took charge of this parish in 1892, succeeding the Rev. Father John B. Kuehn, who died in July of that year. The building was enlarged in 1898 to its present size in order to pro- vide more room for the growing school member- ship. This institution of learning which has at- tained a high rating for its efficiency, is in charge of the Dominican Sisters. About 280 pupils are enrolled.

MARIETTA COLLEGE
Higher education in Marietta began two years af- ter the long Indian war in 1797, when it was de- cided at a meeting of the most representative citiz- ens of the settlement of Marietta, to erect a build- ing for educational purposes. In 1800 the new building, (which had been erected on Front street, just north of the Congregational Church, ) was opened and given the name of the "Muskingum Aca- demy." Here for more than a quarter of a cen tury the classics and high school branches were taught. David Putnam, grandson of Gen. Israel Put- nam and a graduate of Yale College in 1793, was the first preceptor of the Academy. In 1832 the Academy building was sold and was afterwards used as a residence until 1887. In 1830 Rev. Luther G. Bingham established the "Institute of Education," embracing four departments, the two higher being the "High School" and the "Ladies Seminary," using for a time the old Muskingum Academy building. In 1831 Mansfield French became associated with Mr. Bingham as proprietor. The following year, (1832) an advisory board of trust was appointed which consisted of Caleb Emerson, James Whitney, Dr. S. P. Hildreth, Dr. John Cotton, Arius Nye, Weston Thomas and Douglas Putnam. That same year & charter was applied for and obtained December 17th. under the name of the "Marietta Collegiate Insti . tute and Vestern Teachers' Seminary." Two
more trustees were
added making nine mem. bers as follows: Dr. John Cotton, Douglas Putnam, John Mills, Luther G. Bingham, Caleb Emerson, Arius Nye, Jonas Moore, Anselm T. Nye, and John Crawford. In February, 1835, a . new charter was obtained and the name again changed to the present one, "Marietta College."
The site of the College Campus is an ideal one, oc- cupying nearly two full city blocks-from Putnam

extending south beyond Butler street to the Pennsyl- vania Railroad lines, and from Fourth to Fifth streets, besides adjoining property between Fifth and Sixth streets. The ground of the campus proper takes a gradual but decided slope upwards from Fourth to Fifth street, the buildings which are erected along the upper side occupying a command- ing position, the view looking west across the camp- us being a most attractive one. The first of the Col- lege buildings erected was the old Dormitory, in 1882, which was torn down in 1905 to make room for the new library
building ; Erwin Science Hall was completed about 1849-50; the Li- brary or Alumni Memorial Building was erected in 1870; Andrews Hall in 1891. The Gurley Obser- vatory, named in honor of William Chamberlain Gur- ley, M. A., its founder and director until his death in June, 1898, was built in 1882 by William Chamberlain Gurley and a company organized for the study of astronomy, but it became college prop. erty in 1890 and was moved to its present location. In addition to the above there is a large Gymnasium building, dedicated in 1902, and the present year has seen the completion of a modern now Dormitory building and the magnificent new Library building, besides a central heating plant, designed to supply steam heat to all the college buildings. Plans have also been partly completed for other new build- ings in the next few years.
The first College `class graduated in 1838, since which time no year has passed without a graduat- ing class. Over nine hundred have received the Bachelor's degree.
The records of recent graduates in the profession- al schools in the east is proof that the training now being given fits its graduates to compete with those from the best institutions in the country.
