buildings, fourteen laboratories, sixty-three teachers, eight hundred students, and a certain income of fB16o,ooo. The present year it has twelve buildings, with three more in course of erection, sixteen labora- tories, an astronomical observatory, eighty one teachers, nine hundred and sixty-nine students, and a certain income of S250,000. With such a Past and such a Present, so broad inpolicy, so catholic in spirit, so vigorous and expansive in growth, who can foretell the pace or set the limits of the future progress of our beloved University? Its history, short though it has been, abounds in omens of greatness. May the years to come fulfill them all. gifye fu. and the guture. F THE great institutions of learning of the East, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, for example, one can say what Webster said of Massachusetts, the past, indeed, is secure. Of the great institutions of the interior states, the universi- ties of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, for example, it is equally safe to say, the future is secure. These last named institutions are so bound up with the best life of the states to which they belong that they are certain to grow with their growth and strengthen with their strength. Our own institution has a short but honorable past, marked from the beginning by a steady and promising growth, and in these latter years by a phenomenal expansion. Can its future be predicted as positively and as auspiciously as that of the University of Michigan P That the institutions do not occupy exactly common ground is evident, and the explanation ofthe differences between them is equally obvious. Ohio was settled before the true relation of the state to Higher Education was discovered, and because of the intellectual activity and moral earnestness of its earliest occupants a dozen colleges were planted within its borders by the end of the first quarter of the century and when, at the beginning of the last quarter of the century, 26

the Ohio State University was established, it found the field occupied by two score higher institutions, several of them bearing the name of universities, endowed and equipped by denominational and local enterprise and strong in the respect and good will of hundreds of graduates, among whom the professional and political leaders of the state were largely found. Michigan, on the other hand, coming fifty years behind Ohio, was able from the first to avail herself of the great discovery that the highest duty of the state is to provide a symmetrical and effective system of education from the lowest to the highest grades, open to all of its people and, consequently, its university has scarcely had a competitor during the sixty years of its history, within the limits of the SIMS. ln spite of these differences and disadvantages of the Ohio State University, it has enough in common with the great state universities to warrant the belief that it is like them sure of a future of steady progress and indehnite expansion. The grounds on which is based this belief for our institution are threefold and are as follows: 1. The State University, like all others of its class, is fn: It owes allegiance to the truth alone. It is under no obligation to maintain creeds and confessions formulated while the earth was still considered the center of the solar system. All our institutions of learning have achieved a measure of freedom. l or example, they all teach the heliocentric theory, the most revolutionary doctrine ever promulgated. They are attractive in proportion to the freedom in dealing with truth which they have achieved. But in regard to the matter of freedom, the state institutions are certainly in advance of the denominational institutions. Take, for instance, the doctrine of evolution, which is now as well established as the doctrine of gravita- tion, and which is by all odds the most important contribution of our century to the knowledge of the race. In most of the denominational institutions it is still eyed askance and such recognition of it as cannot be avoided is often grudgingly given, But freedom in the search for truth is the note of modern times. With a great price the denomina- 29
