Ieges as Indicated by Reports
Recently Made.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 1.-THE pub
lie relations committee of the Hart
ford theological seminary recently
sent letters to the Y. NJ. c. AS of
American colleges and universities,
asking for information as to the re-
lgious conditions in these institu-
tions.
Out of 65 institutions reporting, in
only five does the religious prospect
seem less encouraging than former
ly, while in the other go it is holding
it's own, and in more than two-thirds
of these it is quite encouraging, seem
ingly to be much better than ever be-
fore in large number of cases, at
least one-third of the 60.
Eight institutions report the entire
senior classes to be Christians and
many more show nearly as good a
record.
SiXty-one institutions give the num-
Der of candidates for the ministry
and missionary work among senior
men, showing a total of 231 for the
ministry and IS for the foreign field.

the responsibility Of an entire tribe
Of Indians for depredations committed

occurring Is or 20 years ago, the
