SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY— ITS PURPOSES AND PROSPECTS. Southwestern University was established in 1872 by Dr. F. A. Mood and his confreres for the explicit purpose of providing Christian education for the young men and women of Texas. Christian education has a threefold object: the har- monious development of man intellectually, morally, and physically; and any form of education which stresses any of these phases to the neglect of another is abnormal and perversive. For the intellectual culture of the students who may matriculate with it, Southwestern University has a large and efficient corps of Professors and In- structors ; a liberal supply of apparatus for its scientific departments ; literary so- cieties for the young men and for the young ladies ; a well-selected library of more than eight thousand volumes ; and excellent advantages in the special Departments of Art, Music, and Expression. The moral environments are unusual. Besides the churches and their reg- ular services, there are a Young Men ' s Christian Association and a Young Women ' s Christian Association, both of which are well attended. The moral atmosphere of Georgetown is wholesome. Perhaps the most significant step taken this year was the organization of the Students ' Council of Honor, consisting of representa- tives from the different classes, who try to adjust all cases of dishonorable con- duct, any student having the right to appeal his case to the Faculty. The Athletic Association is one of the most active organizations in the Uni- versity, the students taking a very lively interest in it. The ball team, the track team, and the Glee Club are controlled by it. Considerable headwav is being made, looking to the erection and equipment of a gymnasium. A large amount of money is already pledged, and the enterprise will be vigorously pushed to its completion. Through the very successful efforts of Rev. John R. Nelson, the Financial Agent of the University, funds are being raised for the erection of another dor- mitory for voung men. It is hoped that this building will be ready for use in the fall. It will cost approximately 50,000, and will be strictly modern in all re- spects, and will help to solve the problem of the ever-increasing attendance of the University. The Medical Department, located at Dallas, has attained a high degree of success. The far-sightedness in recognizing and taking advantage of the facilities which Dallas affords for a college of medicine and pharmacv is becoming more and more evident. The clinical opportunities offered by St. Paul ' s Sanitarium and other institutions, combined with a large and well-trained Faculty, will make this a large and successful department. The awakening interest in Christian education in Texas makes us the more confident of the future of Southwestern University. Aside from the enterorises alreadv launched, others will follow. Increased endowment and a library building are sure to be secured. More scholarships will be established ; new departments will be added, and more extensive courses provided. Just as surely as the Meth- od ' sts of Texas realize the possibilities of the institution they have founded, they will give to it with unstinted generosity, and perpetuate it as an exponent of our Christian civ ' lization. — .
