The Synod of Baltimore was opened
with praye- this morning by Elder e. D..
| Freeman of Baltimore. The minutes
were read aud several objections made,
especially in the case of Rev. John
Squiers. Rev. John s. Malone said that
the record should be changed so as to
have no record of the case except that,
asking the General Assembly for permits
sion to expunge from the minutes ktte
record of the case of Rev. John Squiers
DR. Squiers made an able, forcible and
| vigorous speech in his defenes, and said
that this was not on the record right
eously, and it could be removed without
asking permission of the General As
sembly.
Dr. vallandingham cited the action
of removing record by the United States
Senate.
DR. Malone rose to his feet thinking
tina Mr. Squiers was making insinuations
regarding him. This, however, brought
several members to their feet and all
elamored for attention.

the acceptance of the reports. The
motion was carried, and the record in
the present form was That the record
Of the case be expunged with permission
of the General Assembly"
DR. Malone withdrew his notice Of com
plaint to the General Assembly. The
motion as it now stands is THAT the
language referring to the Rey. John

Windsor College was again taken up.

has been 80 much antagenism to this
plan for making a college for the educa-
tion of our Presbyterian youth The
case has greatly been mis-represented
| know this because l was the founder ol
this institution. 1t could be made one Of
the largest colleges in the country as larg,
and influential, indeed as Yale or Prince
ton. If we don't need schools for plair
people, for whom do we need them? Ae.
cording to some argument we need then
for people who can pay $S a week Al
Princeton. We must have it for this clasi
of people, Then as to the matter Of en-
dowment. This synod and people car
spend enough money to establish an,
good institution.

limited to five minutes each. DR.. Proud
fit said that these email colleges wer,
the greatest feeders Of the Presbyterian
Church
DR.. Leftwich said: THAT report
states that this is to be college for th
higher education Of the youth. Wha
right had our state clerk TO put In othe
words to describe this institu
tion. Ne do not want col
lege for the higher education
but one for the plain, everyday ed
ucation Of our people. w
want school, not flying unde
the false pretences Of college
I'VE have no right to call an institu
tion a college, which is not a college, ne
even good high school. Where are W

for the higher educations Will you ge
: this money in Washington or Baiti
/ moreg No, there Is no moneyed-m a

such ansinstitution in New Castle
, Besides all these boys would atten
other institutions and we would have

! There is no future for this institutio
q except one Of trial and trouble E
spoke of the manner Ia which this CON

o subject. He said that such college
0 New Windsor was needed by the Presb,
t terian church, and it could get the none
d ''Mr Rogan ssid:'I am friendly to small,
n institutions. 1t has been the glory
o the Presbyterian church that she alway
led in education But she has allowe
herself to fall behind and other church,
