Berkshire hills, and attracting present
attention by reason of its election of
Kansas City minister its president

1eges. It has come nearer than any
other institution of the higher learning
to exemplifying the idea of President
Garfield, one of its graduates, that the
best education was to sit at one end OF
bench with Mark Hopkins at the
other end Mark Hopkins was presi-
dent OF Williams when Garfield and
ingalls, were students there, and Mark
Hopkins son of Kansas City is just
chosen president of the college to sue
coed President Carter, who went from
Yale 8 years ago to take the Williams
presidency Williams is a college, not
a university. 1t has only academic
department and it is contin ually rails
ing its admission requirements to keep
down its enrolment The policy of
Williams is to limit its students to the
number of about 400 and to give these
students the advantage of intimate
personal contact with as cultured and
sound a faculty of instruction as it is
possible to procure. The education
provided by Williams is of such a
known quality that it could easily
quadruple it's enrolment at any annual
term opening. Williams is one Ameri-
can college that is Indifferent to size
and thoughtful only of quality. What
is to prevent Kansas from making its
own Washburn college the Williams OF
the West?
