Cite City’s Great Advantage As Real Cenier of Education Laymen of Methodist Church Present Well Based Argument for Randolph- Macon-American Some advantages of a combination of the Randolph-Macon Coliege and American University, for which already have been taken, are set forth in the following manuscript submitted to Lucius C.

Conse- | quently that church is fortifving itself here in a masterful manner. ~While, there are only about 35,000 white mem- | bers of the Catholic Church in the Dis- ! iriet of Columbia. they have twent | churches with parochial schools ~ and five institutions of higher education. | These five institutions are: The Catho- | lie University of America with its eleven affiliated colleges, the George- town University, the Columbus Univer- sity, Trinity College and the Catholic Sisters College. 1In these five institu- tons there is an Investment. including endowments, estimated at over $16.- 000,000 and 'a campaign is now under way for $5.000,000.

Washington is particularly im- portant for Methodis Washington world Methodism is a he capital of the the strongest Prot- estant_denomination and the best fleld in which Methodist bodies of America can make a demonstration of practical co-operation on_a large scale. The present lack of Protestant facilities for education in the District, with the fact that the Methodist Episcopal Church has already laid a solid foundation for a great university in Washington, makes an opportunity that calls upon Methodists to take the lead in provid- nation Methodism FRANKLIN S8SQU | tery | ington. | educational-missionary Lan | branches of Methodism to c | the i will gain University Union. adequate educational _institu- this world center.

Whoever builds the first world Prot- estant university must accept the solemn responsibility of developing a religious institution and at the same time maintaining it for all time to come religiously free. \Who are best qualified to work religiously without reigious bigotry? Methodism is prob- bly best qualified, being liberal and at th me time being the largest of all the Protestant bodies in America. The patronage of such an institution | would be limitless. There are in the District of Columbia alone 8,672 stu- dents in the white high schools, with 1,010 in the senior class. About $2 per cent of these graduates go to cgllege. owing to the meager non-Catholic ties for college work_here, it ated that at least 75 per cent high-school candidates for col lege go elsewhere.

Both churches have an interest in Randolph Macon, for it was established in 1530 before’ Methodism was divided and is he oldest Methodist college in United States, Also both churches have an interest in the American University for in its founding leaders of both d nominations participated and a former president of Randolph-Macon Coliege was especially active Is it not therefore desirable for these two fnstitutions to join in a great c operative program? “The campus of the American University is located on the highest plateau in the Distriet of Co- lumbia. It consists of ninety-two acres with two marble buildings, one con- crete brick building and several frame buildings. The property is worth at h value two millions of dollars. This could be turned over to Randolph- Macon College as the college of liberal arts of the American Unliversity. The coliege need sacrifice nothing and immeasurably by this move.
