Bi*hplace of Republican Party
Ripon, Wis., Sept. 2O.-Staunch and trim as when it was built, a small wood schoolhouse, on the campus of Ripon College, marks the birthplace of the Republican party. A sign on the house tells that on Mar'ch 20, 1854, the first mass meeting was held in this country whi'ch definitely and positively cut loose from old parties and advo,cated a new party under the name "Republi'can." So wellis the old s,choolhouse preserved and so youthful does it look in its bright and gleaming'coat of paint that no one would guess its real age if it were not for its informative inscription. It is used as.a geologi,cal and biologi'cal museurn, and in this 'capacity is an important fa'ctor in the school life of Ripon College.
