 Founders Day will be celebrated today at this most ancient of New World universities. for 1t was the twelfth day of May, 1851, just 362 years ago today, that King Charles V. of Spain and Pope Paul III., chartered San Marcos University, giving an en- ton. This seems an insignificant sum, yet Harvard was started with an ap propriation of less than $2,0O0 The prinrs of the Dominican order who had act Cfnpanied Pizarro his invasion of Peru, were the first teachers, and established the lecture halls of the un- iversity~ in their monastery at Lima. the ancient City of Kings" A score of years later King Phillip IT. ordered that the university be separated from the Dominican order, and a few years later the first university build ings were restored to their original and foreign foe, have since destroyed several buildings of the university, but each time the institution has ris- en from it's ashes or its ruins, and it's career has continued almost without interruption since it's founding in 1851. The last occasion on which San Mar COS suffered was in 1881, when Peru and Chile were at war. Chile was vic- torious, and its army entered Lima, using the main hall of sthe historic university as a stable for their horses, destroying a part of the library, and nerfOrn1ing many other acts Of van dalism unworthy of a civilized people. For several years the classes Were as- sembIed in private homes and store rooms, but in 1886 the university build ing were restored to their original conditions and Te-opened, amidst pub lie rejoicing.

The first step toward the organiza- ton as collective body of the Pro- testant Episcopal church in the Uni- ted States, as the American branch of the Church of England, was taken at meeting held in New Brunswick, N. J., 129 years ago today Clergy men were present from churches in New York. New Jersey and Pennsyl- vania, and a temporary organization was effected. The doctrines adopted were the Apostles and Nicene creeds, and the Thirty-nfne Articles of the Church of England, with a few changes. Of late years there has been much agitation of the subject of a change in the name of the body, many leaders recommending the drop ping of the word "Protestant'' sin the legal title of the church. This matter will be brought up at the general con vention, the governing body of the church, at it's meeting next October. The Rev. pr. William T. Manning is the leader in the movement which has for it's object the elimination of Protestant from the. name of the church, declaring that it's use ''puts the church in the light of a modern denomination instead of in it's true light as a. part of the ancient, his toric Catholic church. Others are as outspoken in their determination to retain Protestant as part of the official title of the body.

Steam and civil engineering have
now gotten the better of these Difficult
ties also, so that under those changed
conditions there is no necessary limit
set to aggregations OF population. Con-
sequently the gregarious impulse can
now have allowed TO it perfectly free
scope.
So that. although the constant effort
is being made to get people out of the
city into the country. and although the
Government has brought pressure TO

The Story Made Them

That all their old German kindred
and acquaintance were dead; that
Saginaw was their only home, and
they had such ample property that
they would never be dependent upon
