Methodist ministers and laymen, by great sacrifice, laid the foun- dation. gg, fit Many of these men were college trained men. They had the keen O foresight of the prophets, and saw that Indiana was to be a battlefield in 4 national politics-a kind of determining factor in moral, financial and ami, QTQQ j political problems-as the centuries went by. These men saw, too, that ' the church of the future would be the church most strongly fortified in 053' . . . . colleges of high grade, and universities for special training. The founders of Asbury were not men of wealth, and yet they were rich men-rich in devotion, loyalty and consecration-rich in their concep- tions of a trained leadership for church and state-rich in the spirit of liber- several years to pay their obligation. as they were not getting more than three times that sum per year as salary. They gave till they had to deny themselves in food and raiment, that their sons and daughters might have at least an equal chance among the sons and daughters of' other schools. Talk about heroism on battle fields, or courage in persecution or plagues ! The world has few chapters of heroes that displayed more moral courage, loyalty and depri- vations, in order that the church might become established, and civil government deeply rooted, than the men and women who came into the forests of Indiana, and laid the foundations for the splendid civilization of this day. The location of the school was a matter of long debate. There. are two classes of locations for a great school, both have their advantages, both have their disadvantages. The first is to locate in a village or secluded place, out of touch of the currents of com- mercial and business life, where the temptations to amusement and dissipation are reduced to a minimum and where the school crystalizes around itself a kind of sentiment and community in harmony with the spirit of literary and moral life. The second is the location which is in the midst of the exciting and stirring life ofthe world, in some great center of business and commercial life, where there are hospitals, librar- ies and art galleries, that are accessible to teachers and I .. , -.

In many respects the location is ideal. It realizes all the advantages that are to be found in this kind of a location-healthful, sightly, secluded. economical, democratic in social matters, surrounded by intelligence and moral sentiments, a community in sympathy with the University, and yet shows no disposition to meddle with itsiaffairs, and where the distractions and dangers to youth are reduced to their minimum. Perhaps there is not another school of the grade of De Pauw University in the land where a student is more protected from organized vices,where he 26
