Rev. a. f. Bruske, ID. ID President
of Alma college, spoke at the PreSby-
terian church, Wednesday evening, on
Higher Education and What Alma is
Doing for it in Michigan. DR.. Bruske
1t a remarkably clear, witty and forct-
full speaker. No matter what he says,
he says it so well that you see at once
that he is one Of the finished products
of higher education anu admirably Cited
for the position he so ably fills. The
address was not long but told more
than most speeches of thrice its length.
Perhaps the most startling of his many
center of population in Michigan is
little north of Lansing, that it is con-
stantly moving toward the Straits of
Mackinaw, and that in this region in
habited by million and more people,
Alma college is the only institution,
yet established, supplying the higher
liberal education. Southern Michigan
is garlanded with such colleges and
semlnaries, but central and northern
Michigan has only Alma. His state
ment of his reason for preferring de-
nominational college and state edu-
cational institution was original and
suggestive; because at the former he
was a freeman, as the student at the
latter he was not, he could at such col
leges as Alma have facilities for study
ing both the word and the works
of God, while at the State University
no teaching of the Bible was authorized
or permitted by the professors in their
official capacity. The greatly dimin-
ishe1 cost of an education at the de-
nominational college was also affirmed.
No young person desirous of carrying
on his education beyond the limits of
the high school, could fail of having
his pulses quickened and his purposes
enobled by President Bruske ) brilliant
and, at times, eloquent address. We
trust he will speak to a Sturgis audience
