cally benefited, is happily and efficiently
secured on the definite Plan of this Col
lege, and in the light of these facts, to
the end that "a thorough integral Chris
tian education may be easily attainable
to all. Accordingly, in the spirit of this
distinctive Plan, and Of these facts, the
next succeeding Terms will promptly
begin and regularly proceed in the faith
and hope of duly realizing all requisite
funds for, and the fullest Objects Of, this
Institution. This College has always
been self sustaining internally, by means
of its cheap tuition. Not a dollar do
mated, or the interest on dollar donated,
has ever been used to pay the salaries OF
professors, or any other internal current
expenses. Donations with accrued inS
terest, have been used only for Perma-
nent Improvements, and in no case used
up to pay current expenses,
AS TO THE PRoPERTY-MUSEUM-
TRUSTEES COURSE.
The property is all conveyed to the
College, in fee simple, and perpetually
held in trust by Trustees, chartered under
State and National law, for educational
benefit of students, and is estimated
worth, above any Indebtedness, over a
half million dollars. The rare Natural
Specimens of its Museum, obtained from
all portions of the globe, worth quarter
million dollars, for which no college debt
has ever been contracted, ,and no citizens
OF Mt. Union or Alliance ever asked to
pay dollar, are among the best (if not
the very best) in any country, and are
practically and especially valuable to
students, by enabling them rapidly and
thoroughly to acquire, retain, illustrate
and apply every study in the College
Courses-ancient and modern Classical,
Philosophic, Scientific, Normal Musical,
Commercial, Preparatory and Fine Arts,
Says Bayard Taylor "The Museum OF
Mount Union College is among the hest,
and the Natural Specimens are the most
select and valuable, | have ever seen in
any country"
AS to its Plan, Bishop Simpson, D. D.,
Ii. D., Trustee, says; mount Union
College, manifestly creature of Provi-
dence, is an eminently needed, live and
progressive Institution, where excellent
government, high intellectual and moral
culture, cheapness and thoroughness,
with sound Plan wisely adapted to the
enlarging wants of the American people,
are happily combined"
Hon. John A. Bingham, Ii. D., ans
other of its Trustees; states: ~ find at
Mount Union College both the facilities
and instruction quite as ample and thor
ough as lately saw at Yale and other
Eastern 'Collsges."
The sole object of the Trustees and
Patrons in their present course, is now TO
place this College on the most substan-
tial and permanently prosperous basis
and they verify believe these facts, with
others that might be given, will vindir
cate to an impartial public the wisdom
of their course-notWithstanding the un-
true and hurtful reports ION these points,
unwittingly started, and up to now so
extensively published in various papers
of this and other States without even a
correction or explanation | now make by
instruction of the Trustees.
