EDITO RIAL
DR.. Alderman and New York University

We hepe that the New York University will
tender the position of Chancellor TO Dr Edwin
"a Alderman, as it is suggested may be done, Tor
fhe reason,that we believe the offer would be de-
clnet if made,
We know nothing about the cmoluments of
this position. and think that in the light OF
what he would give up in Virginia, DIR. Alder
man would not consider them.
But we DO know that there are certain lnsti-
tntions doomed 10 obscurity in spite of all the
money in the world that there are others
founded on and supported by spirit and ira
dition beside which money. with all its advan-
tages is as nothing; and that in guiding the hlgh
destiny of an institution like that of the I'M
versiiy of Virginia. in bringing Its future INTO
harmony with the prophetic thought ont OF
which it was born. there lies future of effort
and accomplishment almost unequalled by any
institution in the land
Men of ability in lines other than pure com
merce and finance need the personal touch to
realize their highest powers and exert their wld-
est influence. They are dependent on sentiment,
and on the mere intimate sympathy of people
which they understand and which understands
them Without for moment carrying the IL
lnstraiion TO the length of comparison, take
the case of Temple Graves honored, influential
and useful uprooted from the soil his talents
enriched to become a weed in a wilderness.
DR. Alderman, fixed from young manhood
npou the passion of general education in the
South has won to the one place of honor in
which he can best advance the cause TO which
he has given his life. We do not believe that,
having attained by his own worth the vantage
ground from which he can best direct his con
sistent ambition he is now to be lured away.

lreverberatory enumeration 1t certainly does

Fowler may be depended upon to put them again

Now that Mr.. Fowler is at it again, we Gull
these choice bits from the open letter which

Lest there should be some difficulty in identl-

punches of poodle dog wh;skers in the Stnate

idently upon them to reform their ways. that

of that bard, in Bombastes:
