the Pacifie University. that Doctor
Quack's almanac does to his pills. 1t
puffs its Pacific Nostrum-it educational
pill. 1t sees no place nor use for any
other college in Oregon than that located
in the Grove, and tits surprised that any
one should be so obtuse as to be unable
to see that the Pacific University is
amply self.suficient to meet all the wants
of the present and future generations in
Oregon. 1t would have but one college
between Puget Sound and the Umpqua,
and that Lion, and the Pacific Univers-
ity can be. if it is not already Lion.
That institution is SO unsectarian that
it can take unto its motherly arms not
only Congregationalists, but Methodists
and Presb yterians and is so learned and
rich that no other can hope to become its
rival IF the Methodists were not such
unmitigated bisots they would at once
close up their university aud come with
all their funds and students to Forest
! Grove; but there is no hope of this
Tho little monthly, or its editor, is sspec-
ially afflicted to learn that the Presbyte-
rians of Oregon are moving in the estab-
lishment of a college at Albany. All
that Presbyterians ought in reason to ask
can be found in Forest Grove, and they
are earnestly urged to abandon the effort
to endow the Albany college, and throw
themselves into the loving embrace of
this would be Ain,a Mater
| Gentlemen of Forest Grove, keep cool,
and submit to manifest destiny. The
Lion college Of Oregon will not be found
in Forest Grove The Methodists have
already gained a position from which
they can snap their fingers and laugh at
you AS to the Presbyterians, their past
| history in the cause of education is a
sufficient guarantee that :hey will not be
behind any other denomination, nor lose
their identity in any other denomination
in the educational interests of the coun-
try. The friends of the Albany college
intend to place this institution upon as
good financial basis as any in the State.
We would suggest to the Monthly to
exercise the grace of modesty, and not
give advice till it is asked Still, it is
your privilege to puff your nostrum-so
puff away. But remember the tate of
the toad that tried to puff himself up TO
the dimensions of an OK.
