VOLUME XXX.
The West Virginia University.


For there is nothing Of more divine
nature about which a man can consult
than about the training of himself, and
those who belong to him Plato.
HISTORY
BY act of the State Legislature,
passed February 2, 1867, the West
Virginia University had its begin
ming. A fund of 800, 900 was realiz-
ed from the States share of the
"Public Land Script donated by
Congress to the several states for the
establishment of Colleges for the
benefit of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts
The school was at first called the
West Virginia Agricultural College,
but even before its organization the
name was changed to the West Vir-
ginia University, a name better indie
alive Of intended scope and work.
The University opened for work on
September 2, 1867 Since that time
its doors have been always open to
young men anxious for college train
ing and culture.
There have gone out as graduates
from all its departments almost four
hundred young men and women;
and as one looks over the list noting
the good work done by them, the es-
TEEN in which they are held by
those among whom they live and
xrot1y tho ,,oat+;0va 20 bn.,,,, ard
distinction held by many, he is
forced to the conclusion that they
are worthy children of a worthy
alma mater.
If we measured the success of the
University by the achievements of
its graduates alone, there would be
reason to feel proud of its record
But we err greatly if we attempt to
measure the good done by any school
by counting its graduates and prid-
ing ourselves on their achievements.
Not large per cent Of those enroll
ed in any school ever finish its course
of study and receive it's diploma.
Shall we count the learning and dis
eipline received by such students as
nothing? By no means The ag-
gregate of good done by any school
is made up in large part of the cul-
ture and training received by those
who remain forever its under grad
yates.
The attendance for the year just
closed is the largest in the history
of the school, the enrolment reach
ing almost four hundred Indeed it
seems that the school is now on the
high road to theyery best success in
numbers, administration, and quail
| ty of work done, and we recall as
prophetic the words of DR.. Alexan-
der Martin, the University's first
president, in his inaugural address,
thirty years ago. Speaking of the in
stitution he said: Even should the
present generation fail to appreciate
improve and increase its power, it
will still live, and coming ages shall
build on the foundation which here
with faith and prayer, we lay a
fabric, whose majestic proportions
may exceed our most sanguine ex-
pectations. y
GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS.
The grounds comprise about eigh-
teen acres situated on the right bank
of the Monongahela river. A more
picturesque or enchanting location
could hardly be imagined; the con
! tour of the grounds is such that,

To get right down to hardpan it is
Just as well to state that while the
Democrats who bolted the Democrat
ic ticket and platform are more nu-
merous that we care to see take that
step, they are mostly in States from
which no Democratic electoral votes
could have been obtained upon any
ticket or platform.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1896-07-25

of $1,000 over Blaine. We simply
give these figures that those who are
mechanically inclined can have
some basis on which to figure the
electoral and popular vote of the
Democratic candidates this year. In
1881 the Democratic candidates car
led every southern state as well as
New York. Connecticut. Indiana,
Delaware Maryland and New Jer-
sey, but they did not carry Ohio,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska. Colorado and others as
they will this year.

From the results in attendance
and in their work in the different de
partments. we should say that these
students have shown that co-eduea-
tion is no longer an experiment. but
a success.
1t is certainly only justice to all
that there should be no restriction
as to sex in admission to the Uni
versity.
The fact that girls are not admit
ted TO the Preparatory Department
is assurance that these students who
apply for admission to the regular
college work will be of somewhat
mature age.
The faithfulness with which the
young women devote themselves to
their work, the high standing they
take in their classes. the modest pro
priety with which they conduct
themselves in every respect can not
fail to make new friends for co-edu-
cation.
RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE.
It is often charged upon State
schools that they are Goddess
institutions. The University does
not lie open to any such charge.
Indeed the influences Of the school
are decidedly on the side Of religion;
the teachings, the associations, the
student life. the religious influence
of the town are all decidedly good to
any Young man who is looking for
good things.
The fact that the University has
sent ont more than one-tenth of the
Alumni to places Of usefulness in the
church as ministers, refutes any such
charge as the one mentioned above
The Y. NJ. c. A. has had steady
growth and an uplifting influence
among the students.
EXPENSES.
To most West Virginia students
the question of expenses is an i'm
portant one The very best students
that the University enrolls are those
of limited means. It is usually the
case that the boy who does not realize
the value of the money he is ex
pending does not get very large re-
turns for the outlay.
fla boy spends over three hundred
dollars year in Morgantown it is
pretty fair sign that he is not de
voted student. It takes time and
ingenuity TO spend much more, and
boy who finds time and ways to
spend more than this has taken that
time and energy from the legitimate
work of a student.
There are very few schools in the
country anywhere in which a stu
dent can get the same instruction
and training at such a small outlay
/ of money. The advantages are in
deed superior for the cost

sary to offer up their lives in its de-

These people, sir, whom you call an

Judgment he who would rob man ofhis
necessary food or pollute the springs
at which he quenches his thirst, or
steal away from him his accustomed
rest, or condemn his mind to the
gloomy night of ignorance, is no more
an enemy to his race than the man
who, deaf to the entreaties OF the
poor and blind TO the suffering he
would cause, seeks to destroy one of
the money metals given by the Al
mighty to supply the needs OF COM
merce.
The line of battle is laid down. The
presidents letter to Governor North
ern expresses his opposition TO the free
and aunlimited coinage of silver by
this country alone. Upon that issue
the next congressional contest will be
fought. Are we dependent or indie
pendent as nation? Shall we legis-
late for ourselves or shall we beg some
foreign nation to help us provide for
the financial wants Of our own peo-
pie.
You may think we have buried the
cause Of bimetallism; you may con-
graduate yourselves that you have laid
the free coinage of silver away in a
sepulchre, newly made since the cleo
ton, and before the door rolled the
veto stone. But, sirs. II our cause is
just, as | believe 1t is, your labor has
been in vain: no tomb was ever made
so strong that it could imprison a
righteous cause. Silver will yet lay
aside its gray clothes and its shroud.
1t will yet rise, and in its rising and
in its reign will bless mankind.
