SMALLER COLLEGES I'm WEST.
Must Look More Largely I'm Future
for support from Individuals
fn Their Own States.

Howard Freeman Doane, professor
of Greek language and literature at
Doane college, Crete, Neb., is on a
visit to New York city, and gave out
an interview on education in the west.
Prof. Doane said: What l am par
ticularly interested in is the denom-
national institution as distinguished
from the state institution in the
west. The state institutions have no
difficulty in holding their own at the
present time, but the smaller insti-
tutions are denominational. They
were started by denominational infiu-
ences, the same as the great institu-
lions in the east, and they are the
ones who find difficulty in getting
ahead on account of lack of endow-
ment.
AT present, in the middle west, we
have not found enough men who are
interested in education to provide en-
dowments and buildings for the
smaller colleges. A good deal of
money for these institutions still has
to come from the east. and eastern
givers are becoming tired of furnish
ing the necessary amount for the
suitable growth of these colleges.
Started largely by eastern money,
these institutions feel that now the
states in which they are situated
ought to supply funds for the future.
Some way must be found by WHICH
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado
and the states west of them. in gen
eral, shall interest wealthy men with
in their borders to provide funds for
the natural growth of these institu-
tons"
