RICHMOND COLLEGE HAS

IN LIFE IN RICHMOND
Marvellous Changes in the City and Institution Since
to the Garden Eighty Years Ago-Co-ordinate lnsttut

~ A. w. BOATwRIGHT, President

BY A. w. cartwright, President
In 1884 Richmond college moved
from the vicinity OF Lakeside to its
present campus. In 1914, after q
pleasant sojourn of eighty years, the
college will again take up It's resi-
dence In the country. This time the
removal will be to the college park
Of 2s4 acres on the Westnampton car
line, about four miles west Of Rich
mond.
Changes OF Eighty Years.
Eighty years ago the institution
was a manual labor school. and the
classes were taught in a barn. Upon
this return to the country the col
lege will divide into two coordinate
colleges, both of which will occupy
handsome and enduring buildings,
costing hundreds OF thousands Of dol
lars.
Eighty years ago the personnel of
the school consisted of president.
two instructors and fourteen students.
Last session the trustees had under
their care In the college and the
academy 533 students, taught by thir-
ty-four professors and instructors.
When the school came to town eighty
years ago, 1t did not really enter
the city gates. but tarried at pleas
ant garden two miles west OF the
city limits, near enough, however.
to enable the youthful theologues to
market the vegetables they were sup
posed to raise. In far less time than
eighty years, the city may be ex-
pected again to hold the coiiege In
its grasp, but the spreading acres OF
the college park, its leafy shades and
sequestered dells will amply protect
the student from the throb and roar
Of traffic.

More than one hundred years ago
to be accurate, one hundred and thir-
ty-s1x years ago-Dr. Samuel Johnson,
when discussing the merits of mod
ern, as compared with ancient, writ
ers, said: "Pope's poetry has not been
less admired since his death; no au-
thors ever had so much fame in their
own lifetime as Pope and Voltaire:
and Popes poetry has been as much
admired since his death as during
his life; it has only not been as much
talked of. but that is owing to its be-
ing now more distant. and people hav-
ing other writings to talk of. Virgil
is less talked of than Pope. and Ho-
mer is less talked of than Virgil but
they are not less admired. We must
read what the world reads at the mo-
ment. 1t has been maintained that
this superfetation, this teeming Of
the press in modern times. is preiudi-
cial to good literature, because il
is of inferior value. in order to be in
the fashion; so that better works are
neglected for the want of time he
cause a man will have more gratifca-
ton of his vanity in conversation from
having read modern books than from
having read the best works of an
tlquity. But it must be considered
that we have now more knowledge
generally diffused all our ladies read
now, which is a great extension. Mod
ern writer's are the moons of litera-
ture: they shine with reflected light.
with light borrowed from the an
clients. Greece appears to me to be
the fountain of knowledge; Rome of
elegance. The ''teeming of the
press" in the then modern times-136
years ago-meant the slowest and
most meager process by hand. There
were no power presses nor Mergen-
thaler machines then, and the speed
OF five or six hundred papers an hour
would have been regarded as some
thing marvellous. What if the good
doctor could look upon the world TO-
day and hear the clicking of its ma
chimes and the rumbling of its press
es, turning out great, mammoth news
papers at the rate of an hundred a
minute, what would he think OF this
'teeming of the press" as compared
with the "teeming of the press" in
his day?
