An exchange says: “American colleges derive two-fifths of their income
from students, while English universities only get one-tenth from
that source.” The great reduction in the valuation of property since
the war, and a corresponding reduction in rates of interest, have cut
down the income, from their endowments, of American institutions of
learning, hence the students are obliged to pay a higher price for
their privileges in order that the professors may be supported and that
the colleges may live. It is still an open question, however, whether a
great endowment is the best method of supporting a faculty in a college
or university. Where the professors depend largely on the students for
support, there will be more enterprise and progress and adaptation of
education to the needs of the times.

On the last night in June the Rev. Dr. Vincent spoke for an hour
and a half in McKendree Church, Nashville, Tenn., on the Chautauqua
movement, the C. L. S. C. and the “Southern Chautauqua” at Monteagle,
Tenn. A correspondent writes: “The C. L. S. C. is taking root in the
South and Dr. Vincent’s grand sermons and lectures in Nashville have
given us a regular Chautauqua boom. The State librarian, at Nashville,
Mrs. Hatton, is a member of the C. L. S. C. class of ’85, and up in
her reading. Dr. Dake, of the same city, an eminent physician, is
enlisting heartily in the C. L. S. C. work. Col. Pepper, with whom many
Chautauquans are acquainted, has rendered effective service for the
cause in this State.”
