A TETTERED BENEFACTIoN.

The press generally Of the country is
depiorlng the unfortunate conditions now
surrounding the Leland Stanford, Jr..
university of California and which
threaten permanently to destroy the
prestige and future usefulness of that
great institution
When Mr.. sud Mrs Leland Stanford
lost their only son they determined to
found as monument 10 him a great
university. Millions were devoted to that
purpose by Senator Stanford during his
lifetime, and after his death his widow
contributed yet mliitons more to the en-
dowment and Improvement of the institu-
tion. The best talent in .he world was
sought to I'LL the various chairs until one
OF the ablest faculties in the United
States was gathered together.
Unfortunately Mrs. Stanford has felt
as II the university was kind OF private
establishment OF hers. and that the pro-
fessors were hired and paid on the slme
principle that she would hire and pay a
cook, or a body servant She has made
Z
dependent spirit, the pride of opinion
aud courage Of conviction OF really In
tellectual men-men who are leaders in
their chosen spheres OF work.
The attempts Of Mrs. Stanford. there
fore, to exercise close censorship Of
the doctrines taught and views advanced
BY tho faculty 81 the university, has re-
suited in a number OF indignant rcsigna-
lions, and now the great institution of
| learning Is almost iuextricaby embar.
raised Scholars OF spirit ana great rep
ntation can not be secured to al the
places OF those who nave resigned and
the discipline, the morale and tho educa
tional programme OF the institution are
sadly disturbed.
