It is possible tiat we ul(lerestimate tie ability of I lie ,denominational colleges to with stand this particular kind of state competition but we do not think so and oer views are the same as those pub licly cxi re.ssed by a representative of Anderson Female College, a denomina tional institution, in this city soie time ago. We would not have scholarships con fused with appropriations for enlarge ments and customary running ex penses The denominational colleges need not fear being crowded out by the state colleges so long as it is as chleal) for the boy of means to attend one as an other. So long as they can get stu dents, they will continue to expand, but the way must be left for them to get students. It takes a mighty pious old deacon these days to send a couple of boys to a denominational college when lie could save enough to buy a Ford by sending thei somewhere else at the expense of the state. The only way the denominational co'lege would get these boys would be to offer them free tuition too. In that case the old man would get Iis Ford, anyway, and that Is about what this universal free tuition amounts to. ThIe denominational college cannot be left out of consideration when the edueational facilities of the state are con sidied, unless we are to adim it that. we can get along just as wel! witiout thei. \e don't think many people hold that view.
