President Garfeld's sketch of college
as being "a log with student on one
end and Mark Hopkins on the other" q
Continuing, the speaker said: aPresi-
dent Garfield's idea Of education was not
an aggregation of elegant buildings,
dominated by a rich brewer. In their
action the trustees of Kent's Hill semi
nary have brought chagrin and sorrow to
Methodists everywhere. 1t is with shame
that walk the streets of my parish in
Boston see in the windows of so many
liquor saloons the name of Frank Jones,
and recall the action of the Methodists OF
Maine in elevating him to position OF
honor in their state UNCONVENTIONAL
educational institution.
"When the name of Kent's Hill is men
toned now, we naturally think of Frank
Jones. Frank Jones is bigger man than
the school or faculty. He dominates
Kent's Hill
Mr.. Perrin added that he hoped the Ep-
worth league of Maine would never get
caught making such lamentable mis-
take as was made in putting brewer on
the board of trustees of UNCONVENTIONAL
institution.
He qualified his attack with the remark
that he had nothing to say against the
personal character of Mr. Jones.
The Boston pastor was frequently inter-
rupted with applause. After the service
was over some of the clergymen gathered
about the church in groups and discussed
the matter. Most of the criticisms heard
were favorable to Mr.. Perrin, but one
prominent member of the conference was
heard to say that the sooner the Metho-
| dists of Maine stop talking about that
Jones episode the better 1T will be for the
| church.
