Moving Susquehanna University.
The people oi Selinsgrove and the
friends ot Susquehanna University
generally are in a turmoil concern
ing the question ol removing the in
stitution from Selinsgrove to Sun
bury, Pa. The matter involves not
only the students and the Lutheran
church, but the people of Snyder
County generally. We believe it is
the sphere of a newspaper that helds
in high esteem the well-being of its
patrons ami the intellectual welfare
of the community in general to dis
cuss in a friendly way the merits of
a question such as this.
We shall endeavor to be impartial
in the expression of views and to
diminish and :iot Id inert the gap
which seems to exist between a por
tion of the board of trustees and the
iieople of Selinsgrove. The benefits
of an educatiouaal institution in any
community can better lie measured
I.v liflvinu lot it 1 1 1:1.1 1 in SDV other
way. If we are pardoned a thread
bare axiom, but as true to-day as
ever, "you never miss the water till
the well runs dry." We trust the
people of Selinsgrove will not have
occasion to learn in a negative way
the value of an educational institu
tion. About 40 years ago Missionary
Institute and Susquehanna Female
College were ( halted. The people
ot that loeality contributed land and
gave largely ol their means to found
the institution now the Isnieof con
tention. Missionary Institute strug

No college is self-sustaining without in the gauge IB measured by means
a good-sized endowment Hence it cf a graduated rod, marked inches
must have help it remains for the
people of Selinsgrove to d theirfull
Bhare and not run the risk of losing
the school.
Now let us consider the other
side. President Heisler and a Hr
tionofthe Beard of Directora pro
I pose moving the institution to Sun
: bury, il the people ol thai town
raise $50,000 cash to erect new
buildings and donate a site. It would
appear that the president bad very
j little patience, and in addition failed
'to appreciate the difference between
the financial ability of the people of
Selinsgrove and Denver capitalists.
I Sunbury is well-fitted lor industrial
enterprises, and nodoubt better than
Selinsgrove, but the latter is better
tilted lor an educational institution,
because the temptations in Snyder
County's metropolis are reduced to
! minimum, while we venture to say,
! there is not a man in Sunbury ivho
' is willing to make a comparison on
this wore. If the people ol Sunbury
'. I can get thecollegeon these terms, they
are very fortunate and we give them
-j credit fordoing all in their power to
secure it. It is a good business pro-
i ii.iohi iii lit it win i knows, but in a
vear or 80 a vacillating president
may sell out to the people of llar-
risburg for $100,000 and a site and
move there.
There is another ami a verv im
portant consideration and if a change
is made, one wntoti will involve euo
less liticatiou and eventually will
result in heavy losses by both sides
and result in two weak institutions.
A legacy of $40,000 was given to
the Theological Seminary of Selins
grove to be used as an endowment.
How can that be used at Sunbury?
This is a vital question and if the
poople of Sunbury figure on getting
this endowment, they figuring with
out their host.
Go slow, gentlemen. To move
an institution is no easy matter. Get
your beads together and heal the
breach. It is better for the institu
tion, lietter tor Selinsgrove and let
ter fr Sunbury.
