could recognize in advance the best site
for the early one Methodist university
in a state or group of states, but the
time approaches in which the best site
must be recognized and later wise men
in Methodism will organize the better
part of our second century as one could
wish it might have been organized in
the beginning. For instance, Iowa and
Illinois have too many Methodist ‘uni-
versities.’ In some future golden day
they will have only one. We do not
say where that one will be, but the uni—
fied and unifying centers will yet be
found and thither our tribes will go up

diverted or seriously endangered from
the very first.”
“Competition among churéh colleges,
as well as among our church papers,
is sure to settle the ultimate question
of numbers, location and site. As a
river rolls down its declivity (one-tenth
of an inch of fall in a mile ofstream—
length gives a perceptible current) and
as providcntial laws settle all things
really providential, so in the end the
survival, triumph or superseding of
such and such schools and papers will
be indicated according to a law which
no man can gainsay or defeat. The
best school and the best paper will win,
so sure as papers and colleges now ex.
ist. Therefore Cornell now purposes
to speak the word for vital advance.
It is ordered by those who should speak
that Cornell shall have more buildings,
more endowed professorships and more
franchise. If Methodists in any state
mourn that the secular university now
teaches as many as, or more students
than are in a given Methodist college,
one may be entirely confident that that
state university offers more and better
facilities than our own college or uni-
versity in that state offers. He who
has children to educate-whether or
not the father is a minister in our con-
ferences—will give those children the
best possible opportunities. It is facile
to declare hotly that ‘a man must be
loyal!’~—but What of a father’s duty to
his children? It is said the Methodist
father’s do send their children to Moth.
odis schools, and the fact is cited as
proof that ‘loyalty’ prevails. We doubt
not, but we ask for room for those who
may doubt at one point. It may ap~
pear that fathers prefer the moral and
religious safety afforded by our schools,
as compared with the palpable moral
dangers lurking in many of our secular
state schools. Therefore the ‘loyalty‘
may relate to their duty to the souls of
their children, even though the fathers
may deeply mourn the circumstances
gaggenrive their children of the sup-
erior educiitiohal‘ priviiku‘gei” ain‘t? e‘il‘v ,, C ’
larged franchise to be found in most ‘1
of our secular state schools.”
“In some states the moral and re.
ligious dangers are reduced to a mini-
mum, because some state university
presidents and professors are true to
Christ. Now, if such safe teachers in
state universities offer additional fran-
chise, superior scientific apparatus and
other appliances not found in our Moth.
odist schools, one m 'l ‘ minder
that fathers are dispo, ’ A' '
paratus, teaching for
chises. At any rate, our” , ,
not always feel the full force of th"
*loyalty’ argument, for they are very
much inclined to patronize the state
university, because of unwillingness
to deprive their children of the very
newest, best and most valuable helps
in education. If our own church
schools are to compete with state col-
leges, the former must offer advan-
The fact that Methodist par-
and hardens the argument.
While, therefore, we may lament that
Methodist parents do not prefer the
church schools our own schools must
proceed to acquire apparatus and other
attractions suliicient to justify the de
sired Methodist preference for Method-
ist colleges.”
“One moral is manifest, and Cornell
college now aims to realize that which
the argument su goats. A large in-
crease of availa e funds is now being
sought.

We devote considerable space this
week to an editorial from the N orth-
western Christian Advocate, because
it is a fearless expression from a high
authority upon a subJect of vital in-
terest and importance to practically
all of the Hawk—Eye readers. Thesub-
ject so ably discussed is one we should
understand in every detail and will
certainly be read with much satisfac‘
tion by Cornell and Mt. Vernon people.
With affairs worked out according to
the lines advocated by the oilicial journ-
al of Methodism In the northwest a
new era. would dawn upon Cornell and
Mt. Vernon and the dreams and long—
ing visions of many years more than
realized.
"It may require another full century
(it should not need more than a de-
cade) to put thoroughly good sense and
practical working power into our gen-
ial scheme of American Methodist edu-
cation. Some large states, like N eb-
raska and Michigan, have only one con-
siderable Methodist college or univers-
ity, Other states, like Illinois and
Iowa, have several Methodist ‘univers-
lties.’ While he who concedes wisdom

old friend and schoolmate, w, R King,
D. D., who went to Mt. Vernon about
thirty-six years ago. He is a man of
one work. The solid, growing and
winning college is and always has been
his one Work. Nothing else has divert-
ed him for one hour. His faithful la-
born havo proven the Worst enemy of
his one work, since they have well-
nigh ruined his health. He has not
been a lecturer, or a church dedicator
or anything else than the working
president who never has left home or
chair except to urge someone to do
more or give more for the college.
That exclusive devotion attaches also
to the entire faculty. We happen to
know that within the last decade and 8
half the faculty of about twenty-live
noble teachers has had twenty-six in-
dividual offers of work elsewhere, at
salaries generally twice that received
at Cornell. Like the college itself and ,,
like the scholars the college produces,
the faculty is ‘solid,’ not showy,
thorough and pledged to its work, as
if the school were a pulpit and that
pulpit were the center of a perpetual,
fervid revival. The professors have
not dared to leave their old places,
themselves, in the fear of God. being
judges. The devotion has been loyaily
seconded by a board of trustees under
whose care the interests of the college
have been so conserved that not one
dollar of its'funds has ever been last,
i
“N my be it said, frankly and directly
as well as aolicitously and kindly, that
two contrasting and antipodal church
educational histories may be written.
A state in which there is but one prom,-
lnent Methodist school may fail ade-
quately to improve its provideutial
opprotunities, while another state in ‘
which are two or three or even four
Methodist ‘universities’ (I) may com-
pete, rivel and antagonize itself to
death. If it almost painfully taxes
Michigan Methodism to so care for
Albion college that that institution can
compete even respectably with the po-
tent state university, how much
more would Michigan be taxed and
how much more miserable would it
relatively fail in competition had that
state two or three Methodist ‘univers-
itiesl’ The same supposed case would
apply to Minnesota and Nebraska,
which two states now have but one
Methodist university. How fares it
With Iowa and Illinois, in the com-
peting Methodist higher educational
schemes of those two states? How
many more decades and half-centuries
must pass away before men will frank-
ly accept the lesson and see the full
moral import of the wastage now going
on in our church with respect to Meth-
odist education in this still young re-
public?” .
