lieve me you viii do so with rears in your
eyes.
Only a few Of our institutions can hope
to unite both Of the functions of a true
University-the making of pure scholars,
and fhe making of true leaders and mis-
sionaries in the democratic crusade of
arouSing the intellect of a whole people.
1t takes great sums Of money to do both.
The income OF Harvard University, for
instance, is larger than the entire income
of North Carolina. Each institution
should ask in what direction its duty and
power lies. The answer for us is very
clear and plain. Our first great duty is
to our students here enabling them to
catch the spirit OF the great masters Of
thought, and as Mr.. Lowell so finely
said at Harvard. "to become men of in
telectual resource. men Of public spirit
with that good taste which is the con-
science of the mind and that conscience
which is the good taste Of the soup'-nOt
forgetting. the while the precious stuff
OF pure scholarship, and cherishing the
ideal Of investigation and discovery. Our
next great duty is to the people. Before
us lies a great State, with wonderful re-
sources and a sturdy population. Another
race lives among us whom we must help
as we can to higher things. Around
us everywhere are thousands who need
to be awakened to the Importance Of
knowledge. This University. therefore.
cannot be a dreamer or a seer. 1t must
use common sense as men do in their
business and be a reformer, a ruler. a
social regenerative force reaching out
directly into the life of the people, touch
ing every town and hamlet, every news
paper and taxpayer Our professors
must carry to them their knowledge.
Our alumni must testify to them the
value of intellectual pursuits and re-
strain for them the narrowness OF mis-
understood beliefs. We must under
stand and teach them and they in their
turn will understand and teach us. We
must be able to help them in their home
hest concerns the public school, the fac
tory child, the hands hire, the village
library, the home. the field and the shops
and then they will really see the Univer-
sity for what it is, lighthouse, an in-
tellectual Pharos not alone for the few
who trim its wicks and fill its lamps
and voyage at its base. but for all the
uncharted craft adrift upon the sea.
One whose mind is upon educational
questions cannot much longer hesitate
to deal frankly with the duty Of educa-
tional institutions to womanhood.
AS Mr. George William Curtis said at
The news & observer., 1897-01-28

Vassar in 1890, I'VE have left woman
as slave with Homer and Pericles; we
have left her as a goddess with Chivalry
and Don Quixote: we have left her as n
toy with Chesterfield and the Club; and
in the enlightened American daughter,
wife, mother, in the free American home,
we find the fairest flower and the highest
promise of American civilization"
Does not every established institution
Of learning with all its facilities for up
lifting humanity owe a duty to woman
as we'll as to men? All the vain, hyster-
ical debate about woman's sphere and
woman's limitations has been answered
in the hard logic of splendid fact-in
Smith, Wellesly, Vassar, Cornell, Bar
nard, Radcliffe, University Of Chicago
and all the Universities of the Mississ-
ippi Valley-in Girton and New Haven
under the shadows of Oxford and Cam
bridge, centuries old. Are we the child
rem OF the light while they sit in dark
ness Plain old Matthew Vassar in
comforting his gift upon the college
which bears his name, declared: 'It oc-
Cured to me that woman having received
from her Creator the same intellectual
constitution as man, has the same right
as man to intellectual culture and de-
velopment."
| believe that this University at the
earliest time practicable should open its
postgraduate courses to the women of the
State. Then perhaps it might enter into
the purpose Of some man or woman
with heart for good deeds to build such
foundation or women here as would
give them equal facilities with their
brothers and make also for the softening
OF our manners and the humanizing OF
our life.
With this obligation of duty to the
people, this "nobleness oblige" Of cul-
ture which has always constrained the
University / shall continue to keep faith,
so help me God.
Such is our social engine, as it is, and
the American college world may be
safely challenged for a record Of great
er achievement on the means available.
1T is an evidence of growth in men and
institutions when they have needs. A
complaisant University without needs
is like your contented man without hope
or ambition, comfortably dead. An in
stitution OF learning especially some
times reaches a crisis when straining
every nerve it reaches the limit of its
expansion. 1t cannot stand still and
mark time for the onward feeling must
be in the very air. Increase of numbers
does not mean increase of wealth but
the contrary. This University has
reached such point and you must know
its needs for it is my duty to know and
TO point them out 1t is recognized that
the State in its assessed wealth shows
poverty, but therein rests the chief rea-
son for expenditure in all forms of edu-
cation Much legislation is made only
to be repealed, but educational legisla-
ton is eternal and creative. Ignorance
is both a cause and effect Of poverty and
| ignorance brings nothing to pass but
folly. Economy Of course, should every
where prevail, but retrenchment should
spare educ ton. Wise craftsmanship
has always felt in times OF greatest trial
that the hope for better things lay in
| unbeaten and potential youth. Luther
uttered his shrillest note to the Burgo-
masters OF Germany pleading for educa-

working hard to get leases between To-
ronto and Bergholz. Near Toronto
there ore twelve gas wells forming line
mile In length which for seven years
have furnished sufficient fuel for two
hundred fires and their capacity Is as
great as ever. There have been six
flowing wells on Island Creek for the
past seven years. There are about q
dozen wells IN the Knoxville field. even
better In production than the wells on
Island Creek. OIL Is found In the wells
