Ugh!

One Sabbath morning his subject was *-Elijah’s Feith,” and bow the rain came in snawer to his prayer. Thers had baen & great dronght in that xegion, and the pastor exhorted his congrega- tion to pray for Tain. When startiog to the af- ternoon service she was observed taking her lit- tlo umbrella. Her father eaid, *Sadie, what are you taking your umbrella for?” She quietly Fud, ““Because Mr. T— said we must piay for rain.™ The fatber smiled at the child's simplic- ity (a8 the euu was shining brightly), but al- lowed her to have her way.

It is but justico to Dr. Bur- roughs that 1 ehould add that from the very ear- liest stages of its existeuco the University has been 80 embarrassed in ite finapcial concerns that he bas been obliged to isbor on wizh x‘mt 3 mere pittance of hia salary for his persccsl sap- port, and that Le was compelled to meet {be cur- Tent expenses of the institation by obtaining bank accommodations from yaar to Year, and to meet them ho was necessitaied to uze the funds of members of his family, which to this_day be has been unable to repsy, and that the Universi- ty now owes him for advances thus made and galary nopaid more than $20,000. THEDE 18 ANOTHER LMPORTANT FACT which eviaces Dr. Burrougns' total unselfishness and supreme devotion to the intercsts of tha University and tho trust confided to him by Judge Douglas. Some two years a0 & projace for the purchase of a_tract of land to be subdi- vided into lots and sold for tho beveflt of the University was conceivad, and by Dr. ;hn'ouuhu and others submited to the Executive Board with the view of enlisting it in the enterprise, but jn their opinion so doubtful was it charac- ter that they detarmined 1t would not be wise or just to involve it with such rasponsibilities. Dr. urrooghs, bowever, hazarded his all by mort- aging hus homestead and all his other property to raise monev to make the first payment on the land proposed to be purchasea, Which purchase wag mado, and £50,000 was thus obtained through Dr. Burroughs' instrumentality and risk, and tarned over in liquidation of the indebtedness of the Uuiversity a the proceeds of the enter- prieo. 1t is true that other parties joined in the undertaking, who were efficieut in the sale of the lots, for which, however, they received s com- mission amounting to severs! thousand dollars, bat tho risks were all assumed by Dr. Burroughs, without any expectation >f personal advantage, and the fosses. had any been sustained. would have fallen alone upon bim.and consequentirttie payment of this large part of tbe indebtedness of tbe University is alone due to Dr. Burroughs. IN REGARD TO THE ARRANGEMENT, compromise, or agreement by wuich Dr. Moss wus made President and Dr. Burroughs became Chancellor, it 18 Dot perhaps necessary for nie to speak, fartber thanto sav_that it was done by the Trustees in the hope and oxpectation of for- ever gileocing those who were 80 unjustlv avd wrongfullyjslanderiog Dr, Barroughs, a:.d secur- ing a co-operation of effoits, both of Dr. Aoss and Dr. Burroaghs in promoting, the piosrerity of the Univeraity, the one 1o 1ts educational and the other its financial advaucemeuvt. That Dr. Moss was fully cognizantof all the troubles, and their origin, there cannot be a shedow of doubt ; that, before the Board of Trustees, on the day ho was elected Presidont, it was made fully man- ifest by his aluding to it in saying quarrels could never atise unless two were interestoa, and he would never become a party to one, or wordsto that effect; but this gomt i put bovond a doult by the report of tho Committee nppoint- ed by the Board of Trustees for the purpose of obtaining a full statement of the facts, 8o that it nced moc be farther atluded to, and the people of Chh.‘lsfl will never bo persuxded that euch men as Norman T. QGassette, W, F. Coolbaugh, L. . Booge, J. F. Bonfield, Thomas Horoe, or Charles J. Hall, could evor be induced to speak falsely or unjustly of any man from pa:tisan or otber motives. Assuming, then, a5 boevond a doubt. the truth of the facts set forth in that report, and that Dr. Mosa intonded it _should be underscood that bhe could vot remain President, associated 21 ho was with Dr. Burroughs, it became apparent that ONE OR THE OTHER MUST DE SACRIFICED, and it waa the painful duty of the Board to de- terwine which should be sé: uside. Should 1t be the one who had eo wrongfully made removal noceseary,—who had been only ono vear with the University, and who had been smply, liberally, and folly paid for his services.—or one who had for eighteen vears labored faithfully, with but soarcely & tithe of his salary for bis suppoit, to whom the University was Jargely indebted, and who had also contributed $50,000 towards the liquidation of its indebtedness ? Can any candid, oujrejudiced man for & moment doubt aa to what tbeir decision should ba? The 6. Luc seo. ond thought of all, 1t appears to me, mus: be tbat the Bomd not only dud right, but' that they did the only thing which they justly aod honor- ably conld do.

Mu.a perhaps place & higher estimate upon his great abilities, sud would more gindly Bee thom se- cured in promotiog the educational inter:zsis of the West, and 1 sincerelv hope that his ardent friends will endow & chair fur him 10 the theo- logical seminary. Thia ove blot upon his char- acter, though iv should meet the just retribution it merited and bas received, should not and will pot cut him off from distinguishing himself in some position of honor and usefulness that I believe bim 8o well qualitied to fill.

Letter from Mr. Samnel Hoard, of the Executive Committee. Suceinet History of the Origin of the Institution. Prominent Part Taken by Dr. Burroughs =-=\hy He Should Not Go. ) The Future of the University. To the Editor of The Chicano Tribune: Cnicago, Aug. 28.—Haviug bean, from the enrliest stages of its organization f1p to and in- cluding the time when Dr. Moss was chosen Precident of the University, either & man]bex of the Execative Committee o: in some nlfimll» po- sition in which I was required to obtain an inti- mate personal knowledge of its history and man- agement, being ove of its corporators and a con- tributor fo its resources to a very considerable extent, and feeling the despest interest in its prosperity and advancement to the purposes of its founders, I have ever been pained and grieved to witness the perdistent persecutions and false and libolous charges made by the bit- terest enmemy ‘of tho institution that oneof & similar character ever bad to contend with, sod I am almost as much pained to seo the outgrowth of these peisecutions and false charges culminating in the bitter spirit that has been mavifestad Ly those, as well East a8 West, in the remarks they have made in re- gard to the removal of Dr. Moss from the Presi- deocy of the Univeraity. That sincore, de- voted Christians, actuated and controlied by that teaching which requires that all Litterncss and wrath and evil speaking should bs put away, and that we should esteem others better than ourselves, is not fully observed, appsars to me most evident, and yet becauss they bave thus demeaned themselves it is not, to my mind, aoy evidence that they are not trte Christians. Was DPeter when he cursed ana lied and denied hia Lord any the less a ,Christian because the buman predominated over the divine? Was David a man less after God's own heart because the passions of & man in- fiuenced him to the commission of a gieat crime? The Christian spirit of Peter wes evinced when he want out and ‘* wopt bitterly,” and of Dawid, when he cried out, “Agmmnst Thee, Thee only, havs I sinned,” showed him to boaman after God's own heart, when made conscions of his sins and repented of them. Iu order to form a correct opinion upon any subject, all the circumstances and facts aon- nected with it should be fully knowa and daly weighed, and to this end I should be glad to in- corporate into this article the full history of the Chicago University 28 it appeared in tho Lake- sude Monthly of February, 1873, but to do so would require more space than it is proper Ishould attempt to occupy on this oocasion ; commending, howaver, to all who desire a cor- rect knowledge of 1ts history & caroful examina- tion of the entire article ; but contenting myself with a few of the PRINCIPAL AND ¥ORE PROMINENT FACTS which are necessary for a just comprebension of the case. It will be borne in mind that this his- torv was written moro than two years ago, and-| consequently 80 far as Dr. Moss and Dr. Bur- roaghs are coucerned, its statements ars neither adverse to the ono or in favorof the owher. It Bays: ‘The University of Chicago bad its arigin in the year 1854735, in the blending of two ideas, emanating from ‘very different sources ; the one in_the comprahensiva 1mind of Illinois’ son, Stephen A. Douglas, the other in the intelligeut foresight of an eminent clargy- manaf the Baptist denowination, the Rev. J. C, Bar- roughe, D. D. For eome time previous tothe yesr first mentioned, Judge Douzlas had cherished a de- sire toaidin tho establishmeat of an fnstitution of learning which, located in or near this young and growing city, sbould partake of i1s spirit, and, 1islag with it, exart an influence upon the entire State, whose ‘Welfare was a part of the very lifo of the great states- man, Hisonginal intention, howevar, was that this institution should be under the care of, and_fostered by, the Siato of ®linols. In accordane with those views, in the year 1854 Mr, Douglas made public iz willingness 1o donate 1u'acres of the besutiful grove lying near tha lake shore, and now_included in the southern portion af tho city, a4 a site for wuch an in- atitution, or ons similar, whenaver suitable parties should coms forward to accept it and take the proper steps towsrd the eroction of a becom- ing In g. At this mame umsa, it happensd that the Bev. Dr.J. C. Burron, had recentiy been in- Quced by the frisnda of Shurtled College, at_Upper Alton, IIL, to resign the pastorate of tha Firat Baptist Church of Chicago for the purposs of assuming the Presidency of that institution. Having his attention thus directed taward the matter of education and edu- cational institutions, Dr, Burronghs to query 1n bis owp mind whether Ohicago did not preseat a mach more promising fleld in which io establish a collego ar university than that occupled by Shurtlel College, and very wisely concluded that, Jocated in this city, it would be much easier.to clothe selyes, were in abeyance, perbaps a too high self- eateem, or that otuers should not enjoy with him the meed of spprobation that their labor merit- ed,~—and I beheve if De, Moss should express the deep coovictions of bis soul he would say, +this has been the one great error of myv life,” and that 1o the fucare he will be a wiser and bet- it with the sloments of ucessn - Learn. ) i ter man by keeping in subjection the passious o rubioct o o avem 1o Bovemmar, 1% 508 | that led him momentarily to the commission of 2 5or10US OrIor. BUT IN WHAT LIGHT shall we look npon the course of the conductors of the National Baptiat, the New York Exam- iner, the Christian Era, or even the corps of Baptist clergymen of Philadelpbis, with their several rods of corporeal longitude, acd their 6 feet 15 inches loader, like & Baul among the propheis? 1s their craft in daoger, thas they ary out ** Freasis Disna”? Is there no other Baptiet in this great country competent for the Frosidency of the Uuiversity except Dr. Mosg ? 1s thers nons but such as these self-constituted makers of public seutiment, whose voices are to be heard, aud whose opinioos and views are to be received as the standard of duty ? I the ed- itor of the Examiner, a thousand miles diatant, not personally conversant with the affairs of the University, a8 wullrgulhfled to judge of the action of the Board as those who have boen from its organization members of 1t? Is he, as the conductur of a religious journal, eatablished toald the cause of truth and justico, to spread broadeast amoug the denomination as facts statementa that are false, cbarges that have no foundation but in his imagiuation, and then when the mjured and accused ones seek to by heard, refuse to bear and publish their de- fense? The vilost criminal on earth was pever treated thue. If this ie Dr. Bright's manner of advoeating trath and justice, religion and me. rality, we uhall be compelled to believe that the groaa and terrible sws attributed to him by Mr, Jones ate true, and that he should leave thio po- sition be so unworthily fills. The editor of the Christian Era is equally gutity of publishing, withont sufficient and piopar knowledgo of facts, statements that are untrue, and when requesced to publish a reply has refused to do so. In ths ho evinces such a lack of the sense of propriety and justice as evinces his unficness for the posi- tion of an editor of a relizions paper. Of the National Bapiist and the Philadelphia c'ergymen Iwould ovly say tbatchey have attempted to create public sentiment against the Board withe :ut irst ohtaining a correct understanding of the 80, ¢ If the motives that actusted these vari parties who have condemned the action th: Boaid were of a personal character, then they were wrong, because mere peraonal considera. tious should never control men in the ohoice of officers of & University. If fitness for the posi- tion, then they wero not properly qualified to Jjudge, becausa they could not know the relative merits of both, without which kuowledge they were not properly qualified to judge, If be- €anse 8 wrong were done Dr. idoss by removing him, then & much greater wrong would have been doue Dr. Burroughs by retaining Dr. Moss, :;ldil:%amz;nm. Ilmlhnir candemnaiion of e Board wag because they desir itu- tion should become i T e A PURELY DEXOMINATIONAY, and they believed it could bs made :\lch by the ®Biection of Dr. Moes, then they are wrong, as appears to me, in every aspect that the question presents uself. First, it would be contrary to the purposes of its founders and covtributors; it would aleo pisce those who have sought. myi from the public in the light of impostors, and convict them of endeavoring to obtain mone, under false pretenses, in which light ncither Dr’ Burroughbs nor his friends woald consent to be Placed.” It woaid be adverss 1o tha boat inter. ests of the Univeraity, becanse a University ig not, or should not _be, a purely theological jn. sitution. It should bave its professors of the roughs, mntroduced ta tha Senator by the Hon, Thomas Hoyne, of this city, one of the Univerty’s earliest, moat constant, and most faithful friends, propossd to him that he shonld dovate the property referred to for the establishment of » university, to be &0 organized that the Baptist danomination should have the leading Tepresentation in ita affairs in certain raspocts, ss. is the analogous case with many colleges and universitios in the country, but yet so chartered that it should be forever fres, in every essential particular, to all re- ligions denominations, Mr. Douglas, therefore, after mature deliberation, abandoned his original ideas of Btate patronage, and on the 2d dsy of April, 1855, in the City of Washington, D. C., canvesed o Dr. Bur Toughs the proposed site, 1o 'be by him held in trast for the future university ; Mr. Douglas %naking only the single stipulation thaf $103,0.0should be immedi- ately provided, with which to commencs the erection of a suitable building, ~ The history might be followed with interest and profit grealy to thecredit of Dr.Bar- roughs, but, leaviog out these portions, it goes on to aay : On the Gth of July, 1855, & public meeting of tho citizens of Chicsgo and vicinity was held, st which time a preliminary organization was effected, and on the Sat of the same month the books wers opened for aubscriptions, and willin sixty days $100,000 were pledged. This handsomo subacription was soon after ncreased to about $250,00), although, financial revulsion that i the following yoar swept ovor the country, a very cossiderable part of this smotnt was never paid. Again leaving the bistory, two more short ex- tracta will embrace all I design to copv, a3 atiso- Iutely required, to give & meagre outline, suffi- cient to show ¢ THE PROMINENT FEATURES OF THE UNHAPPY CONTROVERSY, and enable those who desire to form an unbissed judgment iu the premises. The firat extract is as follows : . 1In September, 1858, the Trustess ragolved to begin tho work of instruction, and commenced the formation of tus Faculty by the election of the Rev.J. 0. Bur- roughs, D. D., a8 President and srofessor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy; Albert H. Miner, A, 3., Professor of Greek Langusge and Literature ; and Le- Roy Sattarbe, Professor of Eoglish Language snd Lit- erature. Theee gentlemen entered upon their duties, and, on the 20th day of September, 1838, with six stu- dents enrolled, organized preparatory classes in St, Taul's (Universalist) Church, corner Wabash avenus and Van Buren street, and the Chicago University be- camp an institation of theland. , . . The general succtes attained by the University is ‘et forth 1g the fact tbst starting at the time just mentioned, with cnly three Profeesols and six pupils, in less than fif- teen years, tha Faculty should have besn increassd to twenty-one, embracing rome of the most eminent ‘Dames of the country, with 281 pupils present during tlie past year, some 359 having grrdwated und left. the Universily, the entire number having bean ia attand. anca being 3.55L. It will be seen by this sccurate history, so far a3 given, that the University owes its long ox. istence and the grest and almost unparalieled successithas achigved pre-equnently to Dr. Bur- roughs snd Judge Douglas. and its prosperity would undoubtedly have been much greater had not Dr. Burroughs had to contend with what appeurs to me THE MOST MAUIGN AXD UNPRINCIPLED OFPPOSITION that ever beset 305 man in the coble enterprise be has 80 generously undertaken and carried on with such self-eacnificiog energy and ability ; and had not the munds of many been grossiy poisoned by the false charges 8o positively and 80 artfully made and so widely spread by this ambitious, intiiguing, Jesuitical individnal. we should never have bad the present controversy. 1t may be thonght that I speak . bitteily and uo- kindly of one for whom I ought to cherish more chantable views.
