FROM ONE OF THE OLDER ALUMNI

The editor has received a communication from one among the ten oldest living alumni of the College, Reverend Calvin B. Hulbert D. D. '53 of Bowling Green, Ohio, expressing his interest in the present development of the College. He writes in part:

"I can not withhold a word of admiration of what I am reading in the November number of THE MAGAZINE. In what is here stated with such discrimination and balanced movement and later in the Inaugural, your magazine is laying before the American public a new order of college. It seems to mean a revolution if that is required in such advancing movement. I have been recoiling over the seeming excess of tendency towards utilitarianism in the old College; she must and will go down if she yields to the claim that a man's life 'consisteth in the abundance of things which he possesseth.' But I accord to the Inaugural the possibility of her so serving among the humanities and 'thy neighbor as thyself' as to save her. We shall all await with eagerness the inaugural volume you promise."
