College
Boards
Report
IS Made TO the General Presby-
terian Assembly Now
in Session.
FOR THE LAST YEAR
Report Makes an Encouraging
Showing Of Work Done
Last Twelve Months.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 27
The report Of the College Board was
made before the Presbyterian AS
sembly here today as follows:
The Board has made an uneeas-
ing effort that only Christian men and
women should occupy the chairs of
its colleges. It has Insisted that this
was demanded by the very nature OF
the Christian college AS a small
college, its first Characteristic was
likely to be personal influence Exert
ed over the students by each profess
sor. The results have been very
gratifying. Careful statistics show
a total of 943 faculty members, with
902 of these, or almost SO per cent
members in good standing OF evan
gellcal churches. Most OF those,
moreover, who are not protesting
Christians, are those who are locally
connected with the institutions as
teachers in the non-scholastic depart
ments.
The Christian colleges have been
sending into the. very highest forms
of service men who are the accredlt-
ed leaders of the nation, and who are
trained servants of Jesus Christ. All
most all the ministerial students
came from the church colleges. The
demand of church, in all the forms OF
Its present activity. is for the highest
height of adequately trained minis
ters. The board can furnish ALI the
students that the church demands IL
the church. on its part, will furnish
the means for increasing and develop
ing the colleges. The answer to the
churches need lie. with christian edu-
cation.
within the past year some of the
institutions that have long been con-
nected officially with the church
have felt that 1t was wise for them,
from the point of view Of material
provision, to change the existing re-
lations and to secure such moditica-
tions of their charter as would give
them SELF perpetuating boards of
trustees, and thus remove from them
official connection with the church.
The board believes that this is a
thoroughly mistaken policy, and that
1t will have results in the life of the
institutions that those who had Sc
cured the changes have been furthest
from intending.
"The board ha sadopted policy
which II believes will meet the full
approval of the church, Hereafter
it will only cooperate with institu-
lions that are able to give some rea'
guarantee of the continued christi an
ity of their educational work.
"The results of the financial efforts
have been most encouraging, but
there Is still very much land to be
possessed.
Seventeen colleges have lost lit
tie in the number of preparatory
students, but twenty-six have gained
more than eighteen percent over last
year, Ten colleges report Night
loss of college students. but forty in
stitutions have gained eighteen per
cent"
