ah idea that jwu • • • DR. RUSSELL H. CONWELL Before I say a word about Temple University, I want to talk about an idea. Ideas are more important than institutions. Institutions are the products of ideas. This idea grew out of tho workaday experience of one of America's great preachers. Russell H. Conwell, who began his Philadelphia ministry in the oarly 'eightios, was more than a pulpit orator. His ministry was personal. It took him into hospitals, prisons, and courtrooms and out of the weltor of suffering that was around him and out of what he saw, came the idea! It had been developing a long time. He wrote that poverty —and most of the ills that he encountered seemed to come from some kind of poverty—is basically a poverty of the mind. Lack of food, of clothing, of home, of friends, of morals, or even of religion, is fundamentally nothing but the lack of right instruction. The only charity, therefore, that has meaning, as well as goodness of the heart, is the giving of instruction. The greater gift, Mr. Chairman, is creative. It is a gift of skills, knowledge, and value judgments. Every person should know how to perform a service for which the world has need. He should be given standards to help him find things in life that are valid because they have truth, honesty, beauty, goodness. So equipped, he will not want for anything really needful. A young printer stopped after services, one Sunday night in 1884, and told Dr. Conwell he always had wanted to enter tho ministry but he could not pay for an education. Dr. Conwell assurod him that much could be achieved by evening study and offered to teach him one night a week. The youth asked whether ho might bring a friend. Dr. Conwell told him to bring as many as he liked. When he appeared for the first appointment, he brought six friends. That was the first class, and Dr. Conwell began by teaching them Latin. Forty persons appeared for the third meeting of the group, and at this point Dr. Conwell. literally, had to hire a hall. They did not all aspire to the ministry, but, like the impoverished printer, they hungered for learning, and they had no other means of satisfying it. Growth continued week by week. The next step was the taking over of a small house. A second houso soon was added. After three years, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania granted a charter to Temple College, which by that time had an enrollment of almost 600 students. Nobody sought those students. They had heard of something they needed and they came. How firmly financial obligations were pressed is not clear, but all evidence indicates that students without money but with good minds and a will to work. as Dr. Conwell put it, were never discouraged. 10
