K THE PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH,. TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1891 CBITICS CRITICIZED. Giancellor Holland Comes Back Sharply at Those "Who DECLABED HE WAS IN ERROR Concerning Hie Amount Donated the West ern Vnhcrsitr. FACTS AXD FIGURES OP INTEREST A lively interest 1ms been aroused lately in educational circles and among the public generally by secre criticism upon a recent statement of Chancellor Holland, of the "Western University, that during the 72 rears of that institution's life the donations for "baildincs and endowments" have not, exclusive of thoeof the late AVilliam Thaw, segregated mncli more than 80,000. Ex Cliaiicllor Wood and others have been quoted ns contrulieting Chancellor Holland, jiudbajing that jH)0,000 would liavebecn nearer the fisures during Dr. "Wood's chan cellorship alone. Dr. Holland now comes baric thai-ply upon this statement with de tails and figures to suppoit hisisertinn. Follow int; ih lii statement, which will re pay pcrutal: To the r-ditor of The Dknatcli: lhad reoled to pay no attention to the tomohat hu-tile criticisms, of uiy in.iupural :uldies niidc in Carnegie Hull Tlmisdaya oek ago by unknown mid irresponsible people, but the recent accession to the ranks or tuiny critics of no le . a personage than juy honored predeccNor, Ur Wood, seems tocallfora brief statement from me. The Clitics declare that I was in error when I .tid that "during the 72 years in which the Western Pntvcrsitj has eii-ted, i ire except It e magnificent gifts ol that princely i.ian. J17H ifi.i Thitc, our institution has receled from ttie citizens of this county for buildings and VHdmcn'enl. not much more than &S0,ono, or, on nnarcrase a little more than $l,K u year." Tin-, statement a- made guardedly, lou Hill ob-cret'iat I s,palc solely of "build lugs and endowment,' i.e., of what in manu facturing pai lance would be called "the Tlant " 1 purpo-ely did not include in my limatecifts of book, and niu-eum speci mousand pieces or apparatus, which the ln ttitntion has alnajswith profound grati tude ivceied, but which hae cotne.tous lor the most part w lth no statement of their monetary 'value, and the actual worth of which could be approximated bya laborious roce-s ;or w inch I lmvo bad neither the lime uortlie facilities, dining myconnectlon v.itu the m-titution. My statement yon will further obser e w as only intended to bo an approximation to the correct amount. I recognized at the time that it was made that there were pos-ibilitles of error, against -which I deired to guard. unstance of the Criticisms. inre the substance of my remarks has bi-cn published mj critics have assorted that durins the chancellorship of 1'rof. Wood fully $500.000 was given to the institution, and that therefore either I was In error in my statement, or that there has been mal administration of the finances. In support of these assertions the public is informed that during tho peiiod indicated a Chair of .As trouomj and a Chair of Chemistry were endowed, the observatory property was ac quired. $200 0T0 was raised as an endowment fund, Mi. Watson's library was bequeathed to the institution and Mr. Carnegie gave to the museum a valuable et of casts, and we ' tire told to look at these facts and behold jn their light tho marvelous mistake of the ' new chancellor, who seems to bo ignorant of them. Before we go a step further let me call the intention of my critics to the fact that, even if all they allege to have been done had been actually accomplished, and the fictitious values, which in some cases the v have named. were allowed to stand, the sum total would f till be far belowtheamountof $500,000 which they state. Suppose we assume, merely for the sake of argument, that the preposterous -valuation they put upon the land acquired by the observatory be accepted as its real alms, and that it was worth at the time it -n as gi en $93,000 (the books show that it was worth $11,000), and that the whole of the $200,000 subscribed was paid, that the whole of the endowment of the two chairs at $20,- 000 each was paid, and that tho gifts of Mr. Watson and Mr. Carnegie amounted in value to $10,000, wo will still have only $310,000 as the snm total. This still leaves a dltference of $1M),000 between what Dr. Wood "thinks" was given and the amount of the items named. This $100,000 It can be demonstrated was never turned over to tho Institution, if received by anvone. It is altogether more charitable and 1 prefer to suppose, that Ir. Wood's memory is at fault, and that he is suffering slightly from the tendency which 1 hav e oitcn observed in those of advancing teais to magnify the exploits of their j ounger days. The Tacts Soberly Investigated. lint to return to the sober investigation of the facts before us: Of the 11 acres of land owned by the observatory upon the hill, about four acres, valued at $4,000, w ere a gift to tho Institution, the remaining seven acres being purchased at the rate of $1,000 per acre. Upon this site the Allegheny As tronomical Society proceeded to erect an observatory. The original cost of the first building and its equipment did not exceed 610,000. Subsequently the property passed into the possession of the University. A debt, a considerable part of which was in curred in running expenses, was paid, and un endowment ot a Chair of Astronomy in the sum of $20,000 was raised. Of this amount Mr Thaw gave to the payment of the debt $2 500, and to the endowment of the chair $12 600. From that time forward, larpelv under the excellent management of Prot. Xnngley, tho observatory was main tained by its own earnings, derived from the time service and through the generous but unobtrusn e gifts of Mr. Thaw. A ery large part of tho equipment found there to-day is held in trust bj his executors. Thirty-six thousand dollars covers everything that the ol)ervatorj received from others than Mr. Thaw, and of this amount not more than half is piopeily credited to permanent in "K'Stmcnt. In tho light of this statement tho claim that the sum ol $90,003 represents the value of tho gifts of the citizens in this di rection, apart from Sir. Thaw, is seen to be altogether untenable. Tho history of the endowment of the .Ctiairof Chemistry is the repetition of tho listory of the endowment of the Chair of stronoiuy. Mr. Thaw was again the lead ing donor So. too, with the endowment .fund of $200 000. Mr. Thaw paid to this t$00,000. Some of those who originally sub scribed met w ith reverses in the panic of 1ST3, and w ere unable to fulfill their gener ous purposes. But bv careful investments, which yielded a profit to capital, the full yum was finally made up. But surely profits made upon investments are not to be reck oned as gifts from the public. They repre sent good management. Some Very Frigid Figures, f-ubscquently to the sale of the old build ings at tho corner of Uoss and Diamond streets to tho county of Allegheny, Dr. Mc Cracken, Chancellor Wood's immediate suc cessor, prepared a careful financial state ment of tho condition of the institution, which is before me, and which shows that the Trustees at that time had in good assets the sum of $291,232 77. Of this amount nearly $55,000 represented tho profit derived from the salo of the old buildings to the county. At the time that Chancellor Wood resigned Ins position at tho head of the institution, tho total book value of its assets could not have cxeeded this bum. Of this amount v er $120,000 represented tho actual gifts in cash of Mr. Thaw, and $70,OJ0 the enhance ment in price of real estate and the profits upon fortunate investments. This leaves about JIOj.OuO to be attubuted to the gifts of the citizens at large I am w Ming to modifv my statement if It will placate my critics, and say that tho general public has given as much as $100,00j to the endowment of the institution I will go a step further, and will say that taking into account everything that has been gn en to the institution of any and all kinds ol belongings tho general pub lic has gn en $149 WW stifl for tho purposes of my argument, this charitable assumption will not materially alter the case. The fact Still i-tandb out in bold relief that the West ern Unii ersity of I'ennsj lvania represents to-day to a large degiee te gcneious thought and benevolent purpose of one man, whom we all delight to honor, and that the great community in which this institu tion has been located and in which we be lieve it to be called To Io a 3I.-.Snificcnt IVorlc has not In times past displayed that care for It interests that it mistht bav o reasonably been expected to manliest. In saying what I have said 1 have been led to do so, not by any desire to depreciate tho kindly acts of those who have given to tho Univei sitv. On the contrary, their kindly deeds on behalf of the higher education of young men shino out all tho more rcsplcndently against the daik background of general indifference. I desire on behalf of the institution to assure them that all that they have done is remem bered with graterul appreciation. Nor do I wish to insinuate that there is any lack of true generosity among my fellow-citizens, whom I love and honor. If the great and wealthy community in which we live has not done much to promote the cause of higher education in its midst it has not been the result of lack of benevolence, but inther of an oversight, and a failuie to justly appreciate the magnitude of the necessities anu me opportunities which ore before them. Least of all has it" been my purpose in anything that I have said to cast a slight npon tho faithful and self-denying labors of my honored predecessors in office. In this matter I greatly regret that I have been, perhaps unintentionally, misrepre sented. To cut a long story short, the Western Uni versity of l'ennsvh ania did not receive dur ing the term of office of Prof. Wood $500,COO for buildings and endowments. The total assets of the Institution to-day, at a v cry hberal estimate, and Including the late be quest of Mr. Thaw, a portion of which, ac cording to the terms of hlsw ill, have not yet come into our possession, do not amount to more than $150,000. The finances of the Insti tution have been well cared for. They have been In charge for veal's past of such men as Messrs. William T'haw, the late John Har per, Charles J. Clarke, lion. Felix Brunot, J. 1$. Scott and Reuben Miller, gentlemen of unimpeachable integrity and unquestioned financial skill. Finally, the Chancellor sub mits, ho hopes witli becoming modesty, the simple proposition that he piobably is In as good a position to know the actual facts as uny ol his critics, who have shown that their memories aie sadly at fault, and that it is not well to rely npon curbstouo opinions, passed thoughtlessly at the moment by those who have not access to documentary evidence. Chancellor Holland's Chief Wish. My present w ish is, so soon as possible, to secure the necessaiy amount to carry for ward to full and perfect completion tho ellort to create in connection with the Uui v ersity a great and prosperous technical and Industrial school, the louudatious lor w hicli have already beon so happily laid under the care of my immediate predecessor, the honored and lamented Chancellor Golf. I have already the promise of substantial help in this diicctiou, conditioned upon the raising of at least $2vO,0U0 for this purpose, and it seems to me with the right to appeal to thegenerosltv of the 6O0.OCO inhabitants of this "state of Allegheny," as Mr. Lincoln used to call our county, nud with the knowl edge that there are lound here accumula tions of wealth, aggregating $100,000,000, thei e ought to be no insuperable obstacle iu the way of the attempt. In Its prosecution I shall have to relj upon the goodwill not of tho few, but of tue many, and I trust I shall not be compelled to tiunlrom this w oik to answer those who upon tho basis of idle surmise, rush to false conclusions. 1 amr ery truly yours, W. J. IIorLAXD, Chancellor Western University. JniA-6, 1891. Daisy Cokk Cuke relieves at once-and posith ely cures. 15 cents; at druggists. Resolutions of Respect.
