239 - L Oct. 14; ed:4/3 - In a letter to the editor, a visitor to the con-
vention at Twinsburg says: The convention on Oct. 12 was composed of
citizens and former students of Western Reserve and was held in honor of
the long and faithful service of the president, Mr. Bissell, who had
presided over and directed it for over a third of a century. W. S.
Kerruish, Esq., of Cleveland made a scholarly address on "The Life and
times of English Puritans of the Protectorate." Visitors and former
students assembled in the evening for a barquet, provided at an expense
of $300, and donated by the citizens. Mr. Bissell, president, reviewed
some of his work in the early part of his struggles, and told of the
sacrifices he had made to make the institution worthy of its patronage.
Over 6,000 pupils have attended the school. (9)
