To raise an endowment for the
Pendleton academy and to convert
the institution into a junior college, a
school offering two years Of collegi-
ate work as we'll as academic in
struction.
This is now the hope of the trus-
tees and other friends of the academy
and, though they have not yet fully
agreed upon any line of action, they
are giving the subject serious con-
sideration. If the plan can be car
ried out they are confident that II
will mean much for the city of Pen
dleton as well as for the school.
In talking upon the subject of the
academy this afternoon, Rev W. L
Van Nuys, who is trustee of the
institution, said:
There is a splendid field for the
institution and especially is this true
If it can be made into a junior col
lege. If it can give instruction. in
work commonly covered by the
Freshmen and Sophomore years in
college, it will fill long felt need.
Graduates from the institution could
then take up technical work in the
large universities, or if they desired
they could stop school. fairly we'll
equipped with q liberal education.
Junior College Needed.
THAT there is need of junior col-
leges is now well recognized by uni
versity men. Two such Institutions
have just been established in Cali
fornia and they are~ receiving the
strongest support from President
David Starr Jordan of Stanford uni
versity. The reason for this is that
a Junior college takes a young man
through the character forming per-
iod of his life. 1t sends him into the
world or to a university after having
carefully shaped his course during
a very critical period of his life.
"Pendleton academy is now in a
much stronger position than it has
ever been" declared Mr.. Van Nuys.
But it is now at a point where it
must either be content to stand still
or reach out into a larger field. I
would like to see it do the latter"
In order to properly finance the
school in its larger field it is esti-
mated than an endowment of $780,
600 should be secured. If such an
amount can be secured it is said the
income from the same together with
other money the school receives, will
easily maintain the school.
Whether or not the trustees will
go out after this larger endowment
has not yet been decided. But from
it Will not be surprising
il the movement is undertaken in the
near future.
Morris Will Help.
One of those most interested in the
present movement is T. ]. Morris,
president of the American national
bank. Some time ago Mr. Morris was
chosen as a trustee of the school to
fill a vacancy. However, he has not
yet accepted the post But regard
less of his action upon this point he
IS strongly embued with the possi-
biities before the academy and is
anxious to see the school successfully
1t is understood that a meeting of
the academy trustees will be held
shortly for the purpose of taking up
