The alumni too are the great supporting body of the institution by their gifts, both large and small. Much more than half of' Oberlin's endowment has come from alumni, and it should be increasingly true through the years that the alumni should be the financial support of the institution. The Living Endowment Fund of itself is a matter of great importance. It is probably true, too, that by far the larger proportion of new students who come to Oberlin each year, are directed to this institution by the alumni, particularly the great body of teachers scattered throughout the country, rather than through other influences or direct advertising of any sort by the institution. Undoubtedly it is not only a fact that the country in general judges Oberlin by its alumni, but that upon the alumni also depends the permanency of Oberlin's ideals or any changes which may be made in its educational policy. And there is no influence so directive in the affairs of the college as the concensus of opinion of the alumni body. Not only is this influence exerted directly, but by the large representation which the alumni have in the group of the trustees who manage the affairs of the institution. W. F. BOHN.
