Prof. ]. 4. Baber, Huntington, Tenn.
Dear SIR:
In reply to the question:: ''Do YOU
think that the degree comforting power
ought 70 be determined by the absence
or presence Of endowment" will say
that | have no patience whatever with
the idea that an endowment Of one thons-
and dollars or Of ten million dollars
shah have anything to do with confer
ring degrees believe in merit ana
scholarship FOR college degrees | also
believe that merit and scholarsh hip can
and will stand the test Of the world
without hiding behind endowments and
the strong arm Of the law.
This endowment scheme would tend
to destroy institutions that may he weak
in dollars and cents. yet may be very
strong in building noble character ana
a strong manhood.
Such law wCuid tend to make n great
scramble for money. Many institutions
won q call but few would enter within
the gates of the wealthy, hence
Woiid be taSi into oitcr Garkness, so Jar
GS endoWments are concerned.
I4 is now ruir red that our highly
endowed institutions have their freedom
of srecch somewhat hampered.
Then what will it be when only insti-
tutors that have the money Of the
wealthy and of those who wish to CON
trol gDhlic thought, can confer dcgrees.
1t is true of course that poor people
can and ID give money to colleges. bur
how feeble are their gifts in compari-
son wish the large donations.

POWER IN THE HANDS OF

Mr.. MtBANE GIVES A MERlTED REBUKE
Some Higher Educational Institutions Now Have
Freedom Of Speech 'Hampered " Are
They to Have Further
Non ply?

There is now an effort on foot to give
to endowed colleges and universities, n
monopoly OF the right to confer degrees.
"A little while ago, in certain colleges,
the giycrs OF big endowment funds,
claimed the right to dictate what sort
of pOllticai economy should be taught,
and Prof. Bemis. Of the Chicago Uni
versity, was turned out because he
taught doctrines not acceptable to- the
trust magnate. who gave the money 70
establish it.
he following letter shows that there
IS an effort to give money still further
power in our educational institutions.

tendent, a few days ago received the fol-
lowing letter:

At the Memphis meeting of the South
crn Educational Association last De-
cembcr. n resolution was introduced
which recommended that the various
Southern tates be advised to enact laws
prohibiting all schools and colleges
from comforting degrees. which have noe
more or less productive endowment.

lst DO you think that the dcgrce-coil-
fcrIing power ought to be determined
by the absence or presence OF endow-
ment!

dowmcnt, if any, to be required in your

your opinion at whatever length you may
