CHARGES UNION
SEMINARY HAS
MISUSED FUNDS
Presbyterian Committee
Files Strong DenunCia-
ton with Assembly.

Rochester, May o. The first blow
Of the long awaited attack on Union
Theological Seminary was struck late
to-day at the l27th General Assembly
Of the Presbyterian Church, in session
at Central Church. in this city.
The Rev DR.. Mark A. Matthews. Of
Seattle. chairman OF a special commit
tee in charge Of the matter read
long report giving the legal. ecclesias-
tical and theological status OF the sem
mary. He followed the report with
dcnunciation of the directors, IN when
he charged them with violation OF their
moral. theological and legal trusts.
DR. Matthews based his charges on
what he termed the misleading appeals
for funds made by Union Seminary:
He said that since the organization 81
the seminary $2,362.500 had accrued 20
tre institution. Much OF this, ne
charged. was obtained from freauy te-
rians who Needed appeals which lea inc
donors TO believe that the money was
to be used IN the furtherance OF an
institution devoted 70 theological teach
ing i'm conformity with Presbyterian
standards
Or Matthews charged that money
thus obtained was diverted for other
purposes. in that the seminary felt no
constraint 10 teach Presbyterian doc
trinc any more than that Of any other
denomination. Speaking OF the action
of the directors, Or. Matthews SAID:
"Thc only way for them 70 make
their hands clean is 10 return the
money or reform their standards.
Dr Matthews later stated that he had
no intention Of asking for legal return
Of the money As he finished his
speech the Rev. Edwin A. Nc
AIpin. ir., Of Madison, \. j., whose
ancestors were generous glvers 10
Union, rushed to the platform and de
manded chance 20 rcfutc the state
ments made by DR.. Matthews. As the
assembly was then past nc time
fixed for adjournment Mr. McAlpn
was refused hearing
"The institution to-day, says tnv
report. desires no formal or lnlorn'''
relationship with the General Assem-
blv Of the Presbyterian Church OF the
United states feels no constralnt to
teach Presbyterian doctrine any more
than that Of any other denominations

PRESBYTERIAN or any other church which
will furnish students and accept the
finished product Of the seminary.
The directors and the professors
who are connected with the Presby-
terian Church are very glad to SIT IN
the judicatories and be members OF
the boards of the Presbyterian Church.
but they do not feel under Obligation
TO teach or promote the teaching OF
Presbyterian doctrine in Union Iheo-
logical Seminary.
"In brief. Union Seminary, in teach
ing. spirit and by direct and formal
act, has ceased to be theologically IN
any sense a Presbyterian institution
AS distinguished from any other de
nomination"
There is a well organized movement
among the conservative element IN the
Assembly 10 rebuke the seminary for
its doctrinal position with a propose
tion 20 investigate the action Of the
New York Presbytery in licensing stu
dents of alleged unsound faith who
are graduates oil Union Seminary.
