NORTHFIELD PLANS
4OTH ANNIVERSARY
Seminary Founded by D. L. Moody In
1879 Has Trebled in Size and In
fiuence Under Sons Care.
Especial to The Reformer.0


EAST NORTHFIELD, Mass, May 10.
1t was in 1879 that the vision came to
d. L. Moody of a secondary school where
girls from the New England hills who
were without means could receive a good
academic education under strong Christian
influence. Vision TO him resulted in early
and practical action in the founding OF
Mortified seminary For 20 years Mr..
Moody had the great JOY of watching the
small school. started in his own home,
grow into an institution whose graduates
carried its name into the four corners
of the earth and made the name fragrant
with the spirit of unsparing Christian
service.
At the founders sudden death many
friends of his work were anxious about
its successful continuance There was
the thought that the schools greatest
asset had been the widely-loved name
of the founder But the work proved
! well-founded All that was needed was
love and loyalty to the schools funda-
mental principles. Through the wise de
velopment of and loyal adherence to his
| fathers ideals given by William r. Moody,
| the school has trebed in equipment, size
and influence during the 90 years of the
| son care. bhilltul fulfilling Has lOflONSu
wise founding, and the school, which al
ready has had over 5000 students in at
tendance, looks ahead into years of ser
vice in the church and the world and
deserves the continued approval and sup
port of its friends.
In the mind of the evangelist, his educa-
tional and conference work We're INSOFAR
ably related. The passing years have

season merges into conference season, and
the educational work of an academic char
aeter passes into the more mature curricu-
lum of subjects bearing directly on re-
ligiou5 and national problems. So North
field feels justified in her present mood
of joyfully anticipating her anniversary
celebrations at the commencement season
from May 81 to June 3, to which about
500 former students will return, and her
, summer season conference and student
gatherings.
During the afternoon and until &c
o'clock at night on Saturday, May 81, the
first day of the anniversary, the registra
