"Beloit college was founded in south

the founders of Beloit were the same old
conservative Yale ideas which have so gen
orally characterized Yale educators,
whether at home or abroad.
To-day Beloit and Yale are alike pre-
sided over by their own brilliant grad
yates; what Arthur T. Hadley is to Yale,
Edward D. Eaton is to Beloit; and If
were seeking In the whole west for
young Yale l would at once go to Be

that there is no denominational or indie
pendent non-sectarian college in the west
that is better than Beloit President
Eaton is a graduate of one of the de-
DartmentS of Yale"
