And while, u cannot Jimphasize too much thnt edueutinn tvhlch is Morth more than a great for lune. yet while food and attire must f bo purchaed, and a shelter lm pin- J-ided for our little ones, we musi not despise money. Jinny tliousumlM of Temple's best scholars woro compelled tit first to study some branch which Jvould help them to tho necessities of life. The practical business eouncs lyere'u necessary pielimln.irv 'o tin' enttanco into tho so-called 'ilgher Jouraes. It was discouraging to have 80 many of our students limit their education to the money stuiulard, An iulvauce of fifteen or twcnt dollais p. week would often lead them to give up their ambition for the higher places and the accompanying broad culture. ' But the question of money ., Always in our own thoughts. a"nd we could not blame them. The college was continually overrunning Its nor- tnal income and special gifts were Oreadfully unceitalu. The opening of the full college course In alts and Sciences was a fair illustration of the dangerous llsks the institution had to asaumo m order to advance. The tun college grade opened with one fctu-, Hent. for whom thero was. of couise. i'r0e?, VH' s,"" ,'0InPlet,- fnculO; .i ?

Go- B ln debt every day at such a rate was a ulsneartenine experience itself. But the worst experience was the un- rest in the faculty, who considered tho Venture a ridiculous failure, and felt inai us ran would injure their stand ing. But. "necessity is tho mother of Invention," and it is now clear that Sve would never have studied so close l' the needs of the people nnd would liave gone on much less effectively if nve. had begun with ample funds and large buildings. The tree grows best Jivhlch adapts itself most fully to the conditions of Its environment. The college was compelled to consider -carefully tho dispositions and hln- 'dranccs of the prospective students and o ta them, in drder to help them. l"T muai yjL till-ill tuuill ilOt UU) CUSl- i uiuiiiiiiK, nor join expensi-e ciuus.
