The point of the Crimson's discussion of the college finances is excellently taken. It cannot be denied that, of late years, the interests of the college have been made to suffer for the benefit of the various departments. And yet, it is much easier to obtain contributions for the endowment of the professional schools than it is to secure support for the college itself. Although this institution is far more of a university now than ever before, on account of the growth and the increasing prosperity of these schools, there is now a danger arising lest she become less of a university on account of this neglect of the pressing interests of the college proper. The patrons of the college have a right to demand that this neglect be not suffered to continue longer.
