"A few words about the design and
Loo alton of the college. The college
is christian institution, not gectarian
in ITS purpose, but in order TO create
q cultured christian atmosphere for
broad liberal education as the citizen
ship has been accustomed to in their
eastern homes. The christian college
has Influenced the east for a strong,
righteous, virile, intelligent citizen
ship. and it is felt that as the great
resources OF the state are to be de-
veloped and conserved, and intelligent,
patriotic christian citizenship must
be trained. AS James ]. Hill, the
noble empire builder of the west, said:
North Dakota now needs to create
a christian citizenship to conserve
her vast resources. jamestown coll
lege is sound religiously, and the
youth educated under it's influence Will
be the kind of citizens we desire
Intellectual development is but a part
of education, the greater part is the
building OF noble, broad character, a
pronounced moral and ethical stamina
in our public men. This can best be
accomplished under the leadership and
christian environment of strong
christian, classical and scientific in
structien.
THE location of jamestown college
is ideal for the purposes indicated. The
city has a population of about 1000
R~'SCSSAAA6 AiS usual CULTURE anu az
vantages OF what is known as a col
lege town., where the college is the
pre-eminent interest. 1t is toward
the central part of the state; a railway
center, with lines radiating in all d.
rections, making it easily accessible
from all parts of the commonwealth.
No interest Of advantage to the coll
lege is omitted.
DIR. p. G. Sage, office secretary of
the central education board, New York
city, said jamestown college has
strategic position, unsurpassed in the
state. 1t is central, not like the other
institutions on the extreme border of
the state. You have a decided ad-
vantage in your favor to become the
greatest Institution and the central
and the western part of the state need
It. The city has beautiful homes,
with chain OF parks along the river,
with large trees, uneaualled. There
are no distractlng influences to de-
veiop the accurate and studious mind
The college is 100 miles from the
nearest saloon. These are among the
considerations that make Jamestown
the place for the greatest christian
college for the northwest, and which
have impelled such marvellous devel-
opments In a comparatively short
time. The citizens should all respond
to the energy and patriotism Of the
board of trustees. and the advisory
council, who are keen to the great
needs and the desirable features of
our great and p: osperous common
wealth and worth that our youth need
not go east to obtain what they so
rightly deserve"
