The summary of Dr. Grannis’discourse
was that there was progress in education.
Education’s relation to civilization was
the humanizing of man in society. In
judging of education at the present time
we are apt to underestimate the progress
made, however slow the progress seems
in reality. The speaker recited the fact
that education was more rapidly advanc
ing in new fields than ever before, and
pointed to the enlightenment and bene
fits of modern civilization in China,
Japan, India, and the islands of the sea.
He would have it remembered also, that
every civilizing and educational influence
and every vast commercial enterprise be
tween heathen and Christian land, was
inaugurated, carried fortli and controlled
by the uplifting and expanding forces of
the gospel’s teachings, without whose
holy inspiration there would be no ma
terial progress. We live in a progressive
age, therefore God expects more of us as
Christians than lie did of those in the
early history of the faith, and our prog
ress therefore is not as marked as it
should be, or as it will be when we con
scientiously perform our duty. Dr. Gran
nis concluded his remarks bj’ commend
ing the course of the college faculty in
rememiiering the boys of the Second Or
egon with free tuition.
The president introduced Mrs. John
Evenden, who has charge of the musical
department, and Prof. Storey, professor
of English, the two new members of the
faculty. Mrs. Evenden responded with
a few well chosen words, and delighted
the musical critics present with a piano
selection. Prof. Storey recalled the days
when he was a student of McMinnville
college, and was supremely happy to Ire-
come one of the college faculty, hoping
thereby to he able to impart to others
some of the blessings of which the col
lege had enabled him to partake.
President Boardman announced that
an effort would be made during the year
to increase the endowment fund of the,
college from $40,000, as at present, to
$50,000; and that about $15,000 should l>e
raised for the purpose of making neces-
