friends of Colby College. IS elsewhere.
President Charles Lincoln White of
Colby. had the following to say in re-
gard to the latest of Carnegies gifts:
This. in my judgment will elevate
the profession of teaching. The salaries
OF college professors are very meagre
compared with what these same mon
would earn if they had chosen to enter
other professions. Many able men. in
my Judgment. hesitate to devote their
lives to teaching because they see no
opportunity of savin:; enough to care
for them in old age.
Especially has this been true dur
ing the past few years when salaries
nave not been increased in proportion
to the increase in living expenses. A
few universities have been able to pcn-
sion professors retiring at an age limit.
but his noble benefaction of Mr. Carna-
gle Will enable the small colleges to en-
joy this happy result.
The small colleges. I believe. will
reap much profit by this arrangement
az professors will stay longer and aim
at higher plan of service if they see g
pension awaits them.
Colby College will certainly be bene- |
fitted by Mr.. Carnegies plan, for it is
definitely specified N our charter that
no mans religious belief shall disuuali-
~ him as q trustee of Colby College and |
while the college was established by |
Baptists and has been largely enriched
by their gifts, yet the fathers of the
college did not even put into the charter
a clause that the majority of the trus-
tees should be Baptists
THE college has always granted its |
many scholarships to students irrespec-
tive IF UNCONVENTIONAL lines For many |
years the president of the board of |
trustees was Unitarian and is at pres
emf secretary of the board. The treasur-
er is n Cnitarian''
