school rounded nearly forty
IJfc 1 years ago with a definite
f I fixed purpose and that pur
pose aonerea to mrougmmi
all those years will, in a few
weeks celebrate its fortieth
anniversary. That institution is Poane
college at Crete, Neb. A definite aim of
Its founders and the good men who have
guided Its destinies to success was to
secure, build up and maintain forever
a permanent endowment fund that should
be sufficient to carry the college along,
under the most-adverse circumstances,
at all times. So far this has been ac
complished only to a degree. A strong
endowment fund has been raised, wisely
Invested, and increased during the years
since the founding of the institution. The
institution, however, has prosepercd and
grown to such a size, the standard of
teaching la so high, and the tuition
charges so low that the present endow
ment is Insufficient to cover the outlay.
The two dozen liberal hearted and
minded Instructors give up their time
and best efforts for sums entirely In
commensurate, with their actual value.
The whole sptrtt of love for the Insti
tution is shown on every hand, from the
Rev. Mr. Perry, who has given forty
years of his life to building the college,
to the pupils who have just b.tnded into
squads, under captains, to rake the leaves
and flead grass from the ninety acrs
campus. That's the spirit in the very at
mosphere around the college campus. The
worth of an institution depends chiefly
upon the character of the men who
have built their lives Into its construc
tion. Many men have wrought splendidly
In the building of Doane college and the
halls and alumni and students and schol
astic activities are abiding witnesses to
their sacrifice and devotion.
When July the eleventh, nineteen hun
dred and twelve rolls around thin In
stitution should, through the aid of the
public and those especially Interested In
educational or philanthropic work, have
completed its set purpose and secured
a permanent endowment, the interest
from which will be sufficient to make the
school forever self supporting. The work
the school has done and the most satis

It has received since its Inception Is suf
ficient assurance to Us benefactors or
would-be benlfactors that any aid given
will be a lasting memorial to their mem
ory and liberality and will not shrink

Stability of the lastltetlo.
Before Carnegie, Pearsons, Rockefeller
or any of the nation's wealthy philan
thropists lend their support lo an Institu
tion they want satisfactory answers v
auch questions as these:
What Is the property worth?
Is It increasing in value?
li it wsll managed?
How is It regarded by other Investors?
How does It compare with other prop
erties? What are the devldends?
Are they increasing?
Doane college has most satisfactory an
swers to each-Its past record. It has
buildings worth 1114,000; equipment of
130.000; a campus and other land holdings
conservatively valued at 100,000. and an
endowment of ITO.0OO, making In all total
resources of close to 00,000. All this has
been accomplished In forty years under

As treasurer A. B. Falrchlld has han
dled the resources of the college, loaning
out Its endowment fund on southeastern
farm mortgages and during ths entlrt
period never has had one penny of Inter
est overdue. Such a record Is a most
salient Indication of the care and pre
cision with which Mr. Falrchlld has flllei
his responsible office.
It costs in the neighborhood of gJS.000
to run the school each yenr. Very little
of this goes Into salaries. The tuition Is
small and considerable financial help la
extended to worthy students. The present
endowment fund Is so Invested as to
bring In some 112000 to $14,000 Interest
annually, which, of course, Is far below
th operating expense of the Institution.
The difference Is met throuKh special ef
forts n different directions.
Such t worthy institution is entitled to
an endowment fund that will make It
