ANTIOCH COLLEGE , OHIO . We find in the Home Journal a pleasant account of a visit to
Antioch College , by N . P . Willis , one of its editors . " It is interesting to see the spacious buildings and towering
cupola of the great College of the West where no sex is recognised in the intellect—inen and women educated together and equally
