not be a Congregational parson because
the influence of the clerical is thought
to be, justly or unjustly, so great as to
weaken the enthusiasm of the lay
alumni. This fear or suspicion should
be overcome,.and can be ‘only in one
way, however illiberal it may seem to
those affected.
“It is absolutely essential, in my opin-
ion, that the next President of Yale
should be a conservative to this extent,
that while able to squeeze all there is
beneficial to scholarship out of modern
conditions of life, he should be strong
enough, as a constructionist, to resist
the temptations of surrendering to ‘the
commercial instinct, which dominates
more and more every day in the world.
He should, of course, be a man of
democratic views, in whose opinion
character weighs more than possessions.
He should finally be ‘an open door’
servant of Yale.”
A PITTSBURG OPINION.
A Pittsburg man writes of the alumni
views there as follows:
“The opinion seems to be unanimous
that he should be a Yale graduate.
“That he should not hold office till
too old.
“That it is not necessary to have a
minister.
“That he be executively superior.
“That he should not be over fifty or
under forty.
“That he should be nationally known.”

Stanford Draws from Afar.
The average student at Stanford Uni-
versity, according to Dr. Jordan, travels
1,000 miles to reach it. President Har-
per of Chicago, when informed of this,
called it an extraordinary exception to
the general rules,. and. said (as _ re-
ported): “Usually at least 70 per cent.
of the students of an institution go
from within 100 miles of their colleges.
This latter condition is true of Harvard
~ and Yale to-day, and when, on the con-
trary, you come so far for your educa-
tion, it shows a marvelous state of af-
fairs, and is the principle which justi-
fies the establishment of many institu-
tions.” |
