Battlcships Versus Universities.
Baltimore, May 3,-Churlcs T..
ThWing president Of the Western Re.
serve University, in addressing the
Third National Peace Congress here
tonight, compared the cost of build
ing and maiutaing the batteships of
the nation with the cost of building
ana maintaining the institutions Of
higher learning of the nation The
uuo of his address was THE Peace
and University"
perhaps the greatest service which
the American college or university
can render To the cause of peace"
he said, lies In the prosaic process
and triumphant result of making the
thinker For the man who thinks is
the man who. by nature and instinct,
is opposed to war. 1t is as true that
the doors Of academic halls are closed
In time Of war as 1t Is true that the
laws are silent among arms. The
college man who thinks sees truth
deeply; war makes its primary appeal
to the superficial love of glory, of
pOmp and and circumstance. The coll
lcgc man who thinks he sees truth In
long ranges and in far OFF horizons,
war is emotional and the warrior
tllngs the years into hours.
The cause of peace can do much
for the college and the university
The triumph Of the cause would put
gold into the academic chest and gold
Is the silent symbol of what the col
lege stands for. TO build battlcship
costs the endowment of university
ana its annual maintenance Is larger
than university budget.
'nhc total cost of the Batteship
New Hampshire was more than seven
million dollars The total value of
the grounds and buildings Of all the
colleges in New Hampshire is less
than two and hair million dollars
and the total amount of productive
: FUNDS three millions The cost of the
| Battleship Indiana was more than
five millions. The total value of
grounds and buildings Of colleges and
universities In Indiana Is slightly
more than seven million dollars The
cost of the Battleship Iowa was more
than five million dollars and the pro-
ductive funds Of all its colleges and
universities Is also five millions.
The Battleship Alabama cost more
than four millions and the entire
property real and personal of all
universities and colleges in that state
is less than four millions. The Battle
ship Kansas cost more than seven
millions. The value Of the grounds
and buildings of the colleges and
universities of Kansas Is less than six
millions. The cost of the Battlcship
Wisconsin was more than four mill
ions The whole value Of all grounds
and buildings of Wisconsin Is slightly
more than six millions"
Thwing showed that the annual
cost of maintaining a battleship ran
from $4,000 to 100000.
THE number of universities" he
said, whose annual budget exceeds
those sums can be numbered on your
fingers. when one takes into view
the depreciation Of an armored cruis-
er or battIcship, it is safe to say that
1t costs more to maintain battleship
for a year than to maintain Yale col
lege for year and several times
what 1t costs to maintain college
like Amherst or Williams"
President Thwiug said that the
value of the grounds of 500 colleges
ana universities in this country was
estimated at S670OOOOO, Of the build
ings $219,OOOOOO and the productive

said $236,jj1l3S. The cost Of main
tanning these during 1910, he said, was
in excess Of $2LOOO,OOO. The cost
of maintaining these during 1910 he
said was in excess Of $4,000, 600.
The entire income of an the colleges
iu the United States during 1903 was.
he said, about s25.OOO,OOO.
"ln other words said he, "whcu
one takes into view the depreciation
Vt the battloship or armorcd cruiser
the entire cost of the 3S battlcships
for u single year is greater than the
administration OF the entire Amer
lean system Of higher education.
"The money which is thus wasted
on naval armament would put the
/ cause of the higher education of
America upon most efficient basis"
Diplomacy Is Urged
Haytimorc. May i.-Thc countries
of Latin America were held up as am
example TO the entire civilized world

national peace, I'm an address delivered
