The Methodists have a Wesley Col
lege at the University OF North Dakota
in which they claim large success. There
are now nearly three score university
pastors, employed by the different de-
nominations. The Presbyterians have
ten, Roman Catholics six, Disciples 1--WE,
MethodIsts five, EpiscopalIans four, and
Congregationslists and Baptists two or
three each. Prof. Smaller Matthews, OF
Chicago, says: The various denomina-
tons should care for their students in
State universities. I am not writing IN
a spirit OF sectarianism, but as one who
recognizes that the denominations are
economically necessary TO the develop
ment OF a real effective Protestantisn -
Presidents Strong, OF Kansas: Van HIse,
OF Wisconsin: James, Of Illinois; McVey,
OF North Dakota, and Profs. Kelsey, OF
Michigan, and Ward. Of Nebraska, write
in the same vein. Rev. Edward s. Tead,
Of Boston, vice president OF the council,
reports great satisfaction in interdenomI-
national cooperation in mission schools
and believes Itfan advance step toward
the same spirit in educational boards.
The Methodists, Congregationalists, Pres
byterians. and Eplscopalians are thus
working together in New Mexico and are
on the way in other States. Rev. Robert
Mackenzie, secretary OF the Presbyterian
College board in New York emphasizes
that which is well known. viz: Pres
byterian colleges are not and never have
been sectarian, some OF them are de-
nominstional only in the sense that the
Presbyterian Church Is back Of them in
securing students and financial assist
ancE, the board will endeavor to be the
voice OF the colleges to the church and
the hand Of the church to the COL
leges"

Thomas Nicholson, Of the Methodist
Church in New York, president; Rev. E
S. Tead, Of the Congregationalists, Bos-
ton, vice president; Rev. Joseph w. Ccch-
