METHODISTS WILL
 FINISH COLLEGE
School In Rome, Which Has Been Antagonized, Will Be
 Completed, Says Board

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-All the re- sources of the Methodist Episcopal church will be marshaled in support and building of the Collegio Inter nazionale, the church's school on Monte Mario, in Rome, overlooking the Vatican, the board of foreign mis- sions indicated today when it ac- cepted the resignation of Dr. B. M ripple as head of the institution. The college, established in 1914, long has been a center of agitation and sec tarian contention on the part of the Roman Catholic church.
 The declaration of Bishop Thomas Nicholson of Chicago that the Meth odist church would hold steadily to Its course in the development of the college and that he hoped the day would come when from s5,000,000 to $10000, 900 would be spent on that hill, drew applause from the board.
 The stand taken by Bishop Nichol- son was indorsed by Bishops T. s. Henderson of Detroit, and William Burt of Buffalo. who praised Dr. Triples services as head of the col lege and previously as pastor of the American Methodist church in Rome.
 "Dr. ripple has proved himself an able executive in the front line trenches" Bishop Nicholson told the board "and despite the loss of hIs leadership, I feel that there will be specialization of his dream on Monte Mario.
 "It is my definite judgment. after looking over the property last sum- mer, that the day will come. if we act wisely when the work of Dr. ripple will be regarded with the same sagacity as that of our dis tinguished late Bishop Thoburn of India
 Attacking the forces which have called the college a mud hut" and which he said were seeking to spread propaganda against it, Bishop T. $. Henderson of Detroit, chairman of the American committee raising funds for the school, said that at no time since the purchase in 1914 of II acres on the Roman hill has the institution been such place of strategy as at present. Boys of 14 nations are go- ing to school on that hill top, in 9 mud hut" which cost s100,0oo, he explained.
