Journal of Hanover College
This controversy promises again to force
itself upon the Legislature, at its approach

VoIveS are such that until satisfactorily
solved they will not down, though they may
be temporarily Obscured by war or politics.
In fact, as to some of it's essential features
the same controversy is beginning in quite
1t may be WELL under these circumstances,
briefly to state again. the points involved
In the struggle in Indiana
There are certain things for which the
nonstate colleges are not cOntending here.
They are not attacking the state colleges
as unconstitutional or illegal. That is a.
contention, to the right or wrong of
which, they do not regard themselves as
specially concerned, any more than citizens
into their specific affairs. They are not OPP
posing appropriations to the state colleges.
No doubt most of those who are managing
the affairs OF the nOnState colleges believe,
with so many other people, that in view of
the liberal permanent provision made by
law for those state colleges further appro-
pr1atlonS should be sparingly given, except
In very extraordinary circumstances; but
this, too, is a matter that does not concern
them more than others.
This is no war made by Sectarian on I'M
Sectarian institutions. The question of re-
ngion in no way enters into the struggle.
The issue would remain the same if the
churches had nothing to do directly with the
nonstate colleges.
The demand of the nonstate colleges Is
They insist that the State Board of Educa-
ton shall be so reconstructed that it will
be impossible for the presidents of the state
colleges to dominate it as they have done
in the past. No small concession of place
for nonstate college men on that board will
be satisfactory. Let that body be consti-
tuted with neither state nor nonstate presi-
dents or professors upon 1t, and sbe
raised above all attempts to favor one order
of higher institutions rather than another.
They also insist that to life licenses
for teachers graduates from the State Nor
NAL shall have no advantage over gradu-
ateS of other institutions, who, by like
test, show themselves equally competent.
What the State wants is good teachers,
irrespective of the source from which they
come.
These and these alone, constitute the
issue, and have constituted it from the be-
ginning Of the present struggle. 1t is
amazing that all that is asked should not
at once be granted by the other side, if
they really care more for the cause of edu-
cation at large than for the interests of
their own colleges. What possible harm
could these concessions do? None what
ever, unless Indiana is still so poor in men
competent for place on the Board of Edu-
cation that we must have presidents of the
colleges on it. None unless the same tests
are not good for the graduate of the Nor
NAL that are applied to others.
