church, declared This proposition
stirs me to the soul" Other ministers
made equally warm declarations i'll
favor of the project.
Rev. Z. II. jerks, pastor, OF the
/ First PreSby tcrian church aud a
trnstee of Bellevue college for many
wears, made an address in support Of
Dr.. kerr's proposal that, as prcllu-

field and that this commission co
operate with a commissioner OF edu
cation in arranging the means for
bringing about the merging OF the
two present institutions into the nu-
cleus for the big pan-denomlnatlonal
institution.

two institutions except through such
a commission" said DR.. jerks, THE
business men are anxious to have this
done and they will give their whole
hearted support 10 the prop"scd uni
vcrsity when it is done. We must
