WHAT WAR MAKES US THINK

There is an article in the Septem-
ber American Magazine by man who
tells what he went thru trying TO
make up his mind TO enlist He says:
Probably every man in the United
States has thought more about his
family in the past three months than
ever before in his life-more seriously
/ mean. II has been a great time for
the quiet revaluation of family ties.
To me it has been rather a revelation.

folks has been in tight place. But |

realization that in all these weeks
when Ipy decision has been forming /
haven't thought of any OF them once.
All OF my thought has been of HER
and OF Peter. II brought home TO me
how much more she means in my lie
than any OF the other members OF my
faInily-yes, more than all OF them
together. ] din't suppose anything in
the world could have made it quite so
terribly clear to me--anyt hing except
her death. The war will not be all loss

ported the mountaineers were not
interested in education. He told the
new president that Berea must look
for its students TO the north. The
new President and his wife ponder
ed this situation. They had studied
the map of the mountains even in
Germany and had set their hearts
upon planting religion and educa-
ton there. Already they had pic
tured the mountains as destined to
be the Scotland Of America. But
the old and experienced workers all
reported that the mountains were
not interested in education.
The Fourth Of July, 1893, is q
great day in Berea's annals. There
was a picnic at Slate Lick and the
young President and his wife were
there. As the President was lying
on the grass near the pavillion-he
was still weak from typhoid fever

binary expense like new Chapel
roof, fences and interest on debt,
which thus grew about $1,000.
The second year began with Eek
tension work" although the word
extension" was not heard. In the
view of the new President, q school
could not be a school without stu
dents. There were three sources
from which students might be
drawn, the north, the colored popu-
lation of the bluegrass and the
mountains. Rev. William E. Barton,
Berea's most distinguished alumnus,
rendered his services that summer
for a campaign for northern stu
dents. He had known Frost at Ober-
lin and been largely influential in
persuading him to come TO Berea.
He realized that II we were to main
tain the world standard Of equal
chance for all men, we must have
northern students. Barton is a good
campaigner and between 80 and 100
northern students actually came so
the people Of Berea almost faint
ed with establishment. And in that
first new northern group was one
enterprising young man destined 10
be long associated with Berea,
Francis Z. Matheny.
To increase the colored students
no great effort was made. They
were already attending in good
numbers and could be relatively
neglected. though the President Wis
tied dozen colored schools In
various parts OF the state. For this
neglect Of the colored people. We
were sharply attacked before the
year was over.
But the great problem was the
mountains. The previous fall one
professor had spent twelve weeks
in visiting the mountains and he re-

things il they would only have the
courage to study and to come to
Berea. We did the same thing at
another school at noon. Then we
went to some nearby cabin for q
snack TO eat and a visit with the
hospitable people at table. By hard
riding we would reach another ap-
pointment before school broke"
in the afternoon and speak again.
We would stay at this third place
and preach at night. The daytime
audiences were pitifully small but
there was a crowd at night.
After the preaching, the President
slept with Frank Hayes and Frank
told him what mistakes he had
made ! He told him what he had
said that was not understood, and
what he had said that might give
offence. That summer was OF great
er educational benefit to the young
President than any university course
he had ever attended or any book
he had ever read. And that broke
the spell. The increase Of noun
tain students at Berea began from
that summer.
And then came the tussle TO get
new donors. The new President
had enough reputation from his
0berlin days to procure an invita-
ton TO address a club in New York
City. He had one very distant re-
lative in New York whom he had
never seen but once, DR.. J. Cleve-
land Cady, the architect. DR.. Cady
was invited TO the Club. The other
speaker was George w. Cable. So
that night young Frost made two
new friends, Cable and Cady. Cady
invited him 10 his house and began
planning for a parlor meeting later
on. To that parlor meeting he was
able TO bring some OF the influen-

was a formal inauguration. Five
hundred invitations were printed
and +. p. Fairchild, whose business
it was TO know our friends and hope
full donors, was appointed to mail
them. A month later, we found in
the Office 400 of those invitations,
which meant that there were less
than 100 people in all the land who
might be supposed to care who the
new president Of Berea was But
the Lord gave faith and courage in
that dark hour and some words of
the inaugural address ring true and
sound true even after the lapse OF
a quarter OF century.
AT that first Commencement in
1893, we laid the foundations Of q
Vocational Department, though the
name Vocational had not yet come.
We devoted the one gift OF $500,
which had come 10 us for new
equipment, (the donor was a dear
lady in Andover, Mass.,), TO the
erection Of our Model House, and
we sent for our first new worker, who
came largely as a volunteer. train
ed in the industrial courses at To-
ledo, Miss Adelia Fox, Teacher OF
Home Science. We picked up q
former student who lived in Berea
as Teacher of Woodwork, Rev. Will
liam Robe. We found q student TO
take charge Of printing, Mr.. Will
ID. Candee. And we completed our
Vocational Faculty OF four by Civ
ing TO the Steward and Assistant
Treasurer the added duties Of
farmer, Thomas J. Osborne.
The income for that year was
sii659.37; the current expenses
si5.66i.iO; deficit $i,oO5.23. Besides
this, we borrowed 5000 TO advance
10 various adjuncts, 5000 for new
equipment and s2.7OO for extraor-

tial men Of the land. Albert
Shaw presided, George KEENAN,,
Harvey E. Fisk, John E. Parsons,
were among the company and they
all became interested in the new
program for Berea and the South.
A similar victory was won in BOs-
ton. DR.. Barton was now settled
there as a pastor and Frost was
regular member Of his household
for weeks. The leading man in Bar
toms church, Frank Wood, met the
the expense OF q great dinner party
at the Thorndike Hotel. N. s. Shall
er Of Harvard, who had been State
Geologist Of Kentucky, was there.
So was Jonathan Lane, President
OF the Chamber OF Commerce, and
DR.. Gordon who was called home Q
few weeks later. We made twenty
friends that night, friends that stood
by us as long as they lived. Jona-
than Lanes widow sends 500 to
Berea every year still.
Our program was thus vindicat-
ed by the actual coming Of new stu
dents and by the approval Of some
of the best people in the land.
Two other steps were taken In
this Initial Period which looked
forward TO things which have proved
sound. Our second building was
the Williams House for Mems Indus
tries, and our first reimbursement OF
forces made Mrs. Carlock Head OF q
distinct Normal Department. The
Board OF Trustees was increased by
the addition Of important men like
Gamble, Lloyd and Burroughs whose
services were soon terminated. how
ever, by death and removal, and by
others who continued for years or
even 10 the present time, Stearns.

SERMON TO GRADUATES

i'm and the total enrolment for the
year, including the crowded Winter
Term was 35i.
There followed three Initial Years.
Five things marked the year ending
at Commencement, 1893:
First, the new President made
himself acquainted with the records,
organization and conditions OF the
school.
Second, he suffered severe at
tack OF typhoid fever, in which dur
ing the first three years all the
members OF his family followed
him.
Third, Providence sent as Wis
itor DR.. A. ID. Mayo, who at that
time knew more Of the conditions
Of the South than any other man.
and he made the new President
wise.
In the fourth place, the new Pres
ident, with the financial agent, Fair
child, made trip through the east
erp states and found that Berea's
friends were dead or forgetful, so
that we had the task OF finding a
new set Of supporters.
Fifth, in the spring OF 1893 oc-
Cured the great financial panic"
50 that all business was suddenly
oppressed.
By the end OF this year, however,
the new President and his wife had
a program for getting Berea oace
more on the track OF service and
progress. At Commencement there
