In the World.

1t is not generally known, but
nevertheless it is true, that the Bal.
timore and Ohio Company own the
Oldest freight depot in the world.
The building is located at Fred
erick, Md, and at present writing
is still in use. 1t was erected in
the year 1881, and ever since that
time has been in actual service. At
one time, when the cars were run to
and from Baltimore, Md, q large
bell was rung at the station when
ever the trains arrived, The Bal
timore and Ohio railrord itself is
quite an old line, sand she has a
vast number of men in the service
that have seen over thirty years.
service. The old depot at FEEDER
ick is still in good state of pre-
seryation, and will last many years
yet. A picture Of the building may
be seen in a recent edition of "Truth'
which also gives short story of
the place.

About the University.
MoRGANToWN. Aug. 10.

MoRGANToWN, Aug. 10.
To the Editor of Independent:
The last issue of the Berkeley
Democrat contained a statement that
one of the lecturers at the Univer-
sity on the subject of sociology in a
recent lecture on marriage had ex-
pressed a contempt for the marital
relation and had declared the Bible
to be an exploded myth.
The lecturer in question is DIR.
Lester F. Ward, of Washing ton, one
of the most eminent sociologists in
the world. His position in the scien-
tific world could not possibly be
affected by such statements as that
contained in the Democrat, no mat.
ter in how many papers of the State
it should be published; butinasmuch
as President Raymond is held re-
sponsible for the lecturers be has Sc
cured for the summer course at the
University, and inasmuch as such a
statement as the above would, if per-
mitted to go uncorrected, injure the
University, desire to say that the
statement is untrue in every partic.
ular. 1t was furnished to the press
of the State by malicious mischief
makers whose aim was to bring into
disrepute the administration of
President Raymond. 1t is known
who these persons are and it is a
matter of wonderment that the press
will publish such filings as the above
mentioned upon their authority.
A few months ago the Democrat
published another statement to the
effect that the President was run
ming the University as a feeder for
the Chicago University. / believe
the editor was led into this mis-
statement by enemies of the insti-
tuition. Since President Raymond's
election there has not been q single
professor elected who at the time of
his election was connected in any way
with the Chicago University. Only
one of them obtained degree from
that institution and he has also de-
grees from Harvard and Columbia
University.
Yours very truly, 90
