We. have made some little investi- gation of this United Evangelical college matter, of which we spoke a week or two since. We find that Dixon has offered the board of man-‘ agers a campus and building all equipped and in running order free, with perhaps some mOney bonus in addition. Freeport is considering the plan of providing a campus of ten acres. and a money gift or bonus of $30,000 to erect and equip a suitable building. Whether they would insist on an equal amount of money and land here. or not, we cannot say, but they would of necesfi sity need a campus and about that sum of money to put the school in running order, and we cannot ex- pect them to come here on :1 much smaller financial basis than they will get elsewhere, for while the Bark is an idea: place. a college cannot ex- ist wholly on ideals. Hence the quéstion for the people: of this city is this: Do We want matfi college enough to raise $25M“) toi $30,000 in cash for it? The denom- { iuatinn won't come here or go any I where else empty handed of cmxrsa i They will raise and invest $100,000t as a permanent endowment fund. i the. ingome of which. in 'addition tul tuition fees. shall be used to pay1 protesxors’ salaries. and other cur l rent expenses As to the numberf of students, we can onlv say that: before the split in the denomination! a few years ago. Naperville‘ gave $23,001) to secure their old millege :‘ there. and there 11ere from 300 to 400 students at the time. of the split: as students Went there from all owri the lll1nois conference. “e think it could safely rely on from 150 to 201) students from abroad in a year or two from theppeniug, with a slow and steady increase. This 1would mean. of course a large increase in population to our city of educated men and women and those seeking urgeducation, also very many famil- ieé who would come here for the sake of educating their children, and for the sake also of living in a col~ leée town. These are the plain un~ varnished facts as to the school and itsvnatmal results onwthe town, as anyone knoWs why is familiar With 311le things; ‘ ~ 1 ‘Tixe one problem for us then is thisto we wimt it enough to put up the requisite sum of money?
