E Sage Thoughts She Knows "The young or old man or woman who did not witness the laying of the. cornerstone of Reed College yesterday overlooked being present upon the occasion of the ushering in of a new era in the city of Portland. Already noted for its roses, its commercial prestige, its beau tiful homes, its sociable people and its magnificent scenery, Portland now takes its place, I am happy to say, among the foremost cities of the world as an educational center of consequence. There is no other line along which the development of Portland could be furthered with great er benefit than establishing in the midst of beautiful Eastmoreland, one of the greatest, richest and most complete colleges in the world." mfmtmmimmmitmmmmm SEMMEHKOBT nnnnnnasssBMiLMisimlila Here are some' interesting facts for you How many of you know the names of the towns or cities in which the leadin colleges of the United States are located! Where are Yale University, Harvard College, Dartmouth College, Cornell University, Wellesley, College of William and Mary? Is it not a fact that the names of those colleges are more familiar to you than the names of the places where they are! For instance, New Haven, Cambridge, Hanover, Ithaca, the little town of W ellesley or Williamsburg, Virginia. Would it not be a serious consequence if Reed College soon became a more familiar name than Portland, Oregon! These suggestions are merely made to demonstrate that the possession of a great educational institution is one of the most beneficial and powerful influences a city can have. It attracts the right kind of people; it stimulates the activities that make a city grow; it enhances realty values; it particularly affects the values of residence property adjacent to and surrounding the college grounds. There is not an influence at work in this city, at this time, that will have so great an effect upon adjoining real estate values as Reed College will have upon Eastmoreland. X. B.
