tional institution to the Congrega
tional association jn 1858.
The Btul aoriation omiiize.l
by them in I8S7 had resolved to
found an institution of lusher ednra
tiiMi, but the dark days of Indian
mare, war, privation and financial
stringency compelled the association
to convey all the property, right and
title we poess in Nebraska univer
sity to the citizens of Fontenelle a
per original contract, or to null
other persons as the trustees may de
cide upon."
Hampered by Privation
. In 1871 the general association
rcconi mended the establishment of
several academies, Milford and Crete
being both mentioned as having of'
tercd sites. Weeping Water was
No considered as a location for the
college to be established.
In Omaha in June, 1872. at the
First Congregational church, the gen
erat association heard the report of
the committee on education. Forty-.
two Congregational chinches were
now in Nebraska. Crete, beautifully
.situated on the Blue river, was
chosen as the site, and Doane college
came into legal existence July 11
1872.
The buildings so far have been lo
cated in a cluster on the northwest
corner of 'the campus and adjoining'
the town.
The story of the acquisition of this
land and the moving of the college
classes from the old academy build
ing in the town, would make an inter
esting one by itself.
Railroad Gave fcand.
Briefly, the Burlington and Mis
souri River Railroad company,
through the good offices of Mr.
Thomas Doane, made an oifcr of 600
?cres of land, on condition the col
lege should possess property to the
amount of $30,000, and that it should
secure the official recognition of the
Society for the Promotion of Colle
giate and Theological Education. By
the personal pledges of Colonel
Doane and by the work ot tne kcv.
D. B. Terry among eastern friends
and by canvass in Nebraska, the col
lege came into possession of the re
town, Mass., who was a devoted
friend to the college and its most
generous benefactor. Colonel Doane
achieved fame in 1863 as the chief
engineer of the Hoosac tunnel. In
1869 he became chief engineer and
superintendent of the Burlington and
lissourt in Nebraska. He surveyed
ie branch line from Crete to Be-
quired $30,000, the recognition of the
educational society and the deed of
600 acres of land was given Janu
ary 1, 1874. On June 24, 50 town
lots in Crete were given by the East
ern Land association. .
Col. Thomas Doane, for whom the
college serves as a memorial by its
name, was a civtl engineer of Charles
atrice and the road was in use in 90
days. He named the towns on the
line from Plattsmouth to Kearney,
many of them New England names.
He was a large giver to the young
college and a great part of his estate
became a permanent college endow
ment. His children attended Doane
and three , grandchildren graduated
therefrom. One grandson is a trus
tee. Has tyg Observatory
" Boswell observatory was named
for Charles Boswell of West Hart
ford, Conn., a large benefactor of the
college. This observatory was plan
ned and built by Prof. G. D. Sweey
in 1883 as the home of a fine tele
scope with an eight-inch objective,
making the tube about ten feet long,
which enables the observer to see
an object iuagnified from 100 to 600
diameters. The observatory is also
equipped with a large transit instru
ment of two and one-half inch aper
ture for taking the time, calculating
the latitude of the olace. and other
sumilar problems dear to the heart of
the student astromoner. This tran
sit instrument was one of a pair of
transits "with, which Thomas Doane,
the civil engineer, surveyed out and
Erected the digging ot the Hoosac
Wind, at that time one of the most
interesting of engineering triumphs.
The tunnel was constructed from
each end simultaneously, and the
lines came together with a miss of
only 1-8 inch.
! . Perry Was First Head.
" No mention of Doane '. college
would be complete without an appre
ciation of the man who became its
first president, and who above all
others gave his life and his time to
it. shaped its policy and selected with
unerring judgment its faculty of cul
tured men and women.
This man was David Brainerd
Perry of Worcester, Mass.. graduate
of Yale, '63. After a theological
training at Princeton, Union and
Andover, study 'abroad and tutoring
at Yale, his health being impaired, he
came to Nebraska asking for the
hardest job to be given by the Con
gregational Home Missionary society.
He was connected with the new col
lege from its beginning and spent "the
rest of his life. 40 years, in heroic
service for it.

AUDIT BUREAU OF CIBCULATIOWO
No. 4 of a series of adperthementa explaining the A. B. C.
QUESTION : How does the A. B. C. audit the circulation of a
publication? y ? .
ANSWER: By sending an experienced newspaper auditor to
the publication, often with an experienced circu-
lationman; the auditor to go intimately inl;o every
record of the sales of the paper, cash received.
y paper consumed, carriers records," etc.; the circu
lation man to work outside with carriers, agents,
newsboys, etc., verifying facts and figures.
The Audit Bureau of Circulations takes every
care possible to obtain actual facts in compil
ing circulation data; an exhaustive analysis
of a publication's records enables it to see evi
dence of a dishonest intent on the publisher's
part. Punative measures are taken to correct
dishonesty,v while carelessness in keeping
records is penalized: Space buyers find a
great source of assistance in the reports of 'the
