fifteenth of world-wide Methodism depends upon the equipment and spirituality of De Pauw University. The future of De Pauw University, therefore, is aserious question. It is the most important and sacred obligation laid upon the Methodist Church in the state. This fact is better understood to-day than at any time since Mr. De Pauw made V A f . J fi his splendid gift. ', i , ,jf fi To give money to De Pauw is not only to enhance the princely gift fy' 7 of one of God's noblemen, but it is to share in a kind of geometrical 'iv X ratio ofinterest in building character, church and state as the centuries .A gf I go by. affix It is gratifying to know that the givers are increasing. The fount- , X' , t S5 ains of benevolence are opening again. In the last few months many I ' have given, in some small or greater way, to the permanent endowment f of De Pauw University, while the small givers in the sustaining fund ,gif ' A, A have never been so many in the history of the school as they are to-day. I A R' Ifwe read the signs of the times intelligently, De Pauw University is J ' , X, opening her brightest chapter. J' pg V The plans for a half million dollars to the permanent endowment as 4 ,m f . a twentieth century gift are meeting with approval and encouragement all over our territory. It now seems there will be a kind of a De Pauw Guild organized among our young people. The ministers are lining up for a forward move- ment. All ofthe conferences have passed clean cut, strong resolutions that look toward in- creased patronage, sustaining and endowing. When seven hundred ministers take up the cause in good earnest, the cause will win. Every student of the University ought to consider himself or herself a kind of agent to solicit new students and find friends to give to the en- dowment. If education is good, let us double it. -Hillis. A man was born not for prosperity, but to suffer for the benefit of others. -Emerson. Other men labored g and ye are entered into their labors. -Paul.

has such good advantages for so little cost, where he is measured more by his merits than by his money' or family connections-than he has in Greencastle at De Panw University. The early graduates of Asbury College were either young men unusually gifted and fairly well trained, or else they were mediocre in natural gifts and unusually trained, for a large per cent of them came to high rank and positions of responsibility in I church and state.

This is J' ' me known in the East, and is often a matter of remark. De Pauw University stands for something. It is the West Point for a larger field than Indiana Methodism. Horace Mann said, The brow of the Irish peasantry went down one inch when the government made it a penal offense to teach the youth. If the Methodists and friends of higher Christian education in Indiana should fail to stand by this great school in these days of transition and preparation for a K -EJ- ' ffyfk..- ' ' 1 'l I ' Q larger future, they may expect the brow of Methodist leadership in home, industrialism, mercantile and professional life to sink one inch Q, in this part of the country in the first half of the twentieth ceutury. nl , fl XN 4 That would mean the Methodist church to take the sidetrack and ,1 ' HV.. , -5, give the right of way to stronger schools and churches. 'I -,A 6' X -, The school does not now attempt as wide a range of work as was 5, 'FJ If undertaken several years ago, but the very fact of narrowing down a I ll.

The personnel of the 1 Lf V, WI'-. student body is fully up, and the enthusiasm and college spirit are as if X 'AQH flux X marked as ever. I :,.- -'li xl But many are asking, what of the future? The past is a glorious if ' F ffgliim record, and is secure. It depends not upon occult influences for l f-I honor and immortality. The awful reality of the present is upon us, X Y .

This generation makes the sentiment of to- tg Q ll X. , H ,JP morrow-holds the influences that will make very largely the senti- lla ment and character of the first half of the twentieth century. mt' Mr. Gladstone was asked, What will be the policy of England ' to-morrow? And he said, Go over to that group of students in the campus at Cambridge and listen to what they are discussing, and I will tell you the policy of England to-morrow. The future of our republic depends largely upon the future of our Christian Universities. One-fifteenth of Methodism is found in Indiana. It is tantamount, therefore, to say that one- 27
