Dogmatism and becUrianfcm are carefully avoided. We ignore all religions or political divisions, and encourage great freedom of thought, and aim to stand on that high plane where Protesiant or Catholic, Democrat or Re­ publican, can meet on one common level. P ractical E ducation .—The great demand of the times is for men of action. An institution" of learning to meet the needs of the people, should not only impart instruction, but along with the knowledge gained, give students tne power to use it to advantage for themselves and others. The idea of Christian College is, that the finest mental culture and the greatest benefit may be obtained by the study of those things that will fit young men and women to at once enter some pursuit or business, and carry it forward successfully.
