IN this State of California the Golden, there are three strong universities recognized as qualifying institutions by the Association of American Uni- versities — the State University at Berkeley, standing second for enroll- ment in the whole country ; Stanford University at Palo Alto, and our own University of Southern California. All belong to different types. The State University, since its foundation, has taken a high rank among state insti- tutions. It draws its revenues from the state, is under a board of regents appointed by the state authorities, and, like other institutions of the kind, makes no provision for religious training or theological erudition. Stanford University is also without any theological department or theological chair ; it belongs to the foundational universities such as Johns Hopkins and Cornell Uni- versity, which have no connection with any religious denomination. Our own institution, on the other hand, belongs to an older type, like Yale and Prince- ton, which includes religious teaching among its main responsibilities and a College of Theology among its nine colleges. During the past dozen years there was a strong drift away from denomina- tional colleges to institutions on a purely secular basis. Happily, our university remains what it always was — a denominational institution, conservative in its teaching and yet liberal in its whole attitude. On our faculty and in our student body there are the same varieties of church aflfiliation as in a secular university; only the general management remains with the Methodist Church. During the period before us it is probable that there will be a powerful move- ment back to the old idea of a university as the home of colleges where the fundamentals of civilization are discussed and emphasized. Here on the Pacific Coast, close to another sister civilization, that of Latin America, and in immediate touch by water with the great Orient, Californians have a unique position for doing honorable work in the world, the high-grade work that centers in universities. Particularly with our own institution, the only one of the three leading universities where religion has a definite place in the organization and in the curriculum, is there a call to send out representa- tives south and west to teaching and missionary posts. Already we have done UNIVERSITY Page 18
