10 THEHROCKETY-I'l The True Worth of Augustana College. DY DR. 19. I3. .lhill'ElTI'OLinillHl'. HAT ,-iug'ust;m:1 College and titheologir-ul Smujnai'y is worth to the unmmunity in which it is located and t0 the whole country cnnnut be told in n few maul Its value is composite, the growth of many years, and tile combination of many elements in highly nomplicntnd relationships It is extremely Llillic'ult to tin: units of value which will even approxi- mately represent the inlluenms fur gnotl which go out from such a center. ,ltinnncially this institution is am asset to this lml community not to be dcspiscrli 1t dons not to muku material wealth, and yet as rm industry it is not altogether insignificant. It brings here and distributes annually at least one hundred thousand dollars. 'l'rue, it does not make guns and military equlpments, it r109: nut mnlm plows and wagons and cuitimtors, etc., but it makes something incompm'nhly more valuablet it makes the man behind the guns, behind the plows :md tlie wagons; it, develops the brain and trains' the minds and L-hm'actcrs of the men who are capable of managing; great commercial enterprises. . Augustaml College is :1. mighty power of cinli a- lion. Matthew Arnold in one 01' his books has said that the powers which contribute to inliid up human civilization am fourfold, namely, the power of inh-l- Rm. E F.

In all four lV-lce President 01' AUEUStaDa-l respevts Augustmm Collbg'c is such a power in the midst of the lanrl. 1. It is a power 01' intellect and knowledge. Cultivated intellect is the greatest power in the irnrltl; it is the primal power 11ml originnt s and controls all secondary powers, and starts into action numerous ngcnt-ies which regenerate, uplift, enlightvn, mul bcutiiy mankiml. Angusiuna College exists far the purpose of fostering, multiplying, :md distrihuting almond this: puwm- in the earth. It values intellect not only for its own sake, lmt i also for the sake of what intellect cnu Lln. Realizing what pnssihilities lie slunr hei'ing in tens of tlmlmmrls of souls unconscious of their capacities- Hnrl wasting their resources, it goes into the hmncs of our people, Iinrls gifted personalities, brings thmn out into the light, and trains them for the Sel'l' ' 01' the slate, of
