To recount the struggles of a free people to establish a system of popular education which in its infancy bore the stigma of poverty and charity, but in latter days is the expression of. the hopes and ambitions, of the faiths and aspirations of the proud descendants of that people is a task worthy of the noblest and most gifted mind. To recount the struggles of a people, to preserve and to perpetuate the principles of freedom of worship, the right of assembly, a trial by one's peers, and the opportunity for fair discussion is to retell the story of American education, for through it and only through it, can we insure an intelligent and wise application of these inalienable principles.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: MR. NORTHROP'S ADDRESS CYRUS NORTHROP, B.A., LL.B., LL.D. President Emeritus of the University of Minnesota Mr. Snyder: After a service of fifteen years President Folwell resigned. He was succeeded by a man who came from Yale. In a conversation with him a few days ago he stated that from the time he was sixteen years of age, he had combated a tendency to tuberculosis of the lungs. He said, in his efforts to guard off this threatened malady, he had so developed the air passages of his lungs that he had increased his chest expansion up to six inches. It may be that his old time friend Chauncey Depew knew of this lung capacity when at a notable banquet in the East he introduced him as the " Cyclone of the West." The response came in a flash that Chauncey ought to know because he was a good judge of wind. But that is on the side. He came from Yale to Minnesota. He brought with him a Christian character and a love for his fellow men that permeated the institution for twenty-seven years and gradually spread throughout the state. Now in his retirement the affection of the people clings to him and is a source of good cheer, comfort, and satisfaction to him. He is to-day the Nestor of the commonwealth, eloquent of speech, wise of counsel, and loved as few other men have been loved in the history of the Northwest. President Emeritus Cyrus Northrop will address you. Mr. Northrop: The great question which interests us to-day is what is to be the future of the University. The increased cost of running the institution, in consequence of the tremendous increase in the number of students and the high prices for both labor and equipment, has led to a real crisis in the University life?a crisis that has indeed been passed?probably safely passed, but yet the danger has not entirely disappe...Versandfertig in 6-10 Tagen, [SC: 0.00]<
