Castle Garden Emigration Office Aigain at Heart of Immigrant Aid
Castle Garden, run by nine Emigration Commissioners for six year terms, aided 6,730 immigrants aboard seven steamers on May 15 1882. The office reviews passenger manifests, combats abuses, runs boarding house supervision, and provides care for the sick and vulnerable, with information bureaus and transport assistance. New York funds the work, but the nation benefits, especially railroads through ticket sales and remittances totaling millions in 1881. The piece asserts Castle Garden should be a personal institution.

Gendered Study Standards in The Times Essay
The London Times essay argues that men and women pursue different studies and that universities reflect masculine biases. It claims women struggle with dead languages and philology, while men excel in historiography, poetry, and rhetoric. Special honors might address the imbalance, though most subjects suit a masculine or feminine style depending on the exam.

Hampton Institute anniversary noted at Hampton Virginia
The Hampton Institute marked its sixteenth anniversary with exercises on Thursday May 22 reporting prosperity and a rich record of Indian and Negro students. About five hundred Negro and Indian students have studied there, with many Indians trained as teachers in Dakota and the Southwest. The school, built since 1868 at about 400000 dollars, operates debt free and seeks 16000 dollars to build a new dormitory for colored girls. General S. Armstrong welcomes contributions for the school’s two race problem aims and notes student labor covers most expenses, earning over 35000 dollars this year.
