Still Not Contented.
1t has been said that the men who
do the things really worth while; who
fight and work, and work and fight,
when the rank and file have long
ceased to see any chance of success;
are the men with visions. They see
beyond the foot hills which to most of
us hide the mountain heights beyond.
No one dreamed of an endowment
for the college beyond the 100000,
at least for some time-and many rid
iculed the idea of accomplishing that
much. But DR.. Boone is a man of
vision. He has seen clearly the ul-
innate institution since its inception.
He saw in the 100000 but a mile
stone along the way upwards. He
was still not contented.
$4,000 Endowment.
And so after a conference-or sew
eral, to be more exact-with the Gen.
eral Education Board in New York,
DR.. Boone has started a campaign for
an endowment of half a million dol
lars. OF this sum the General Edu-
cation Board, if it decides the college
claims are justified. will give some
100000 or $50. 1000. and that very fact
will practically bespeak the success
of the campaign. for there are many
men Of wealth throughout the country
who rely on the investigations OF
this board and give gladly to the in
stitution the board indorses.
The General Education Board as
general rule does not give to in
stitution who install department Of
applied science, or vocational train
ing. They claim it is the function Of
the state school to properly care for
work Of this character and thus draw
good line of demarcation between
the state and private colleges. DR..
Boone has ever stood out solid!y for
strictly cultural course designed to
send young man or woman out into
the world with the best possible equip
ment to enjoy life and be of service.
The broad-minded, Christian man and
woman, looking the world squarely
in the eyes with deep sympathy and
understanding. will in their lives rich
ly prove the exceeding wisdom of the
view held by this board land by DR..
Boone and DR.. David Starr Jordan of
Leland Stanford, notably.
Up to Local Men.
While the Central Education board
will help it is decidedly curious as
to the financial conditions of the col
lege and the general stability of the
people of the community in which
In plain word, this means if you would
see the college gain the $500,OO0 en-
dowment; of you would have this
money come here and help in general
prosperity; if you would have the en-
rollment of the institution jump up
into the proximity of the thousand
mark-pay up your notes promptly.
Glowing Prospects.
With the increased endowment,
new buildings and equipment. a ma
terially augmented teaching force, the
college will rapidly take rank with
the larger institutions of the north
west. The country is growing and is
on the eve of one of the biggest waves
of prosperity it has ever seen. The
principles the college stands for are
clearly defined and thoroughly sound
and the guiding hand is true and
sure. DR.. Boone has succeeded in sur
rounding himself with a corps of pro-
fessors and instructors of kindred
! spirit, thoroughly efficient and teach
ing not only the lesson of the day. but
the deep underlying significance which
lies behind the text book.
