The Finances Of Eastern Colleges
Need of Western L~fberaILty.

AtCa VI NC8tELA
TIE financial affairs of most of the
eastern colleges and universities has been
improving during the last three years, in
spite of the ruinous effects of war. Within
that time Harvard University had received
s3OO,s2I in donations, and Amherst Col
lege s35O,OOO. The agricultural grant
from Congress to the state of Massachu-
sets is, moreover, to be expended so that
these two colleges shall share its advan-
tages.- Bowdoin College, in Maine, has
received $40, 900 within three years. Yale
College, in Connecticut, has received $780,
600 in donations, and the land grant,
worth at least 500, 900 more. The Yves
Ieyan University, at Middletown, Conn,
has received $12s, 900. Brown University.
Rhcie Island, has received, within three
years, up to November last, s2l4,ooo, and
is now expecting some 100000 more.
Cornell University, at Ithaca, New York,
starts of with about 81 OO, 600, made up
of a large donation from the gentleman
whose name it bears, and the agricultural
grant TO New York state, the cash valua-
ton Of which Mr.. Cornell proposes to
make available to the University at once.
In Pennsylvania, ws find Judge Packer
donating to Lshigh College 100000,
sixty acres Of land, and the prospect of
much more. Allegheny College, in Mead
vile, Pennsylvania, has received within
the last three years over $4,000 Be-
sides these, Williams, Union, Tufts, Trim
ity, Hamilton and many other eastern
schools have been largely aided during
three years by mum ieenE donations. w
have not, however, the precise figures in
reference to these colleges. Those which
we AVE given sum up, for nine institu-
tons, donations amounting in value to
more than four million dollars.
While eastern institutions of learning
are thus receiving such generous support
from their patrons, what are we of Ohio
doing for our home universities, which
need and deserve our support to a much
greater extent2 How are eberlin, Hud-
son, Kenyon, Hiram, prohting from the
gifts Of benevolent and public spirited
citizens2 We greatly fear that if the
truth were known it would appear that
Ohio has not given hundreds to her col
leges while the East has given thousands.
This ought not SO to be. We have schools
here in Ohio which. greatly deserve and
would be almost infinitely benefited by
p~ecuniary aid. Most of them, though
doing q noble and necessary work in the
cause of popular education, are continually
crippled and hsmpered by the want Of
funds. Their libraries are deficient, their
chemical and astronomical apparatus of
the cheapest their meteorological, geologi-
cal and botanical collections scanty and
insufficient. Their college buildings are
inadequate to meet the demands upon
them. Their professors are underpsid,
and driven to assume extra duties and
labor in order to exc out bare subsistence.
All this is fundamentally wrong. There
is money enough and bensvolence enough
in the Buckeye state to endow muni6cent-
ly the three or four leading colleges of
Ohio, and to place them on a footing
of -permanence and prosperity. 1t should
be done at once.

Reconsideration I'm the o,a world.

1t may well be imag ned hat in Eu-
rope, yet retaining, amid II 5rillIancy
and intelligence of the nineteenth century,
the customs, the restrictions, and the laws
of the feudal system, Republicanism is Il
forbidden thing. In most of the coun-
tries of the continent existing laws pun
ish the utterance of republican sentiments
as high treason, and make the publication
of republican newspapers a felony. In
spite of this, the thinkers and reformers,
the lovers of the people, throughout Eu-
rope, are Republicans, and look forward
with yearning eyes to the time
when the masses shall so far advance
that the government may be and must be
entrusted to stheir hands. SIch men,
wherever they are, constitute the body
guard and forlcrn hope of Liberty in Eu-
rope. They will battle for it while they
live, they will hand down the struggle
from sire to son, and their efforts and the
labor of those hat como after them, will
ultimately be crowned with victory.
For many years there has existed in

labors of this committee, in organizing
Republican sentiment, in promoting po-
litical education, and in building up the
belief in the superiority of popular gov
eminent, have been incessant and follow
ed with much success. They have natur-
ally looked to America as the hope o
Republicans everywhere, and held our
country up to Europe as the model of gov
eminent. Tho immense importance Of
our late war, as testing before the
