President Andrews' Administra
tion at Brown.
In eight years Piecidtnt Andrews has
Bcreaaed the college from a member
hip of 26S to one of 751. This growth,
perhaps unprecedented amen; the JJew
England colleges, has bsen due mainly
to one thing to the remarkable attrac
tive power which Dr. Andrews exerts
over young men. It may faitly te said
tkat nearly every young man at Brown
Bnivesity in the last eijbt voire has re
garded the president with unbounded
Bthusiaem. No conspicuous college
president except Francis Walker, ha?,
'during this period, possessed such a
.bold upon the hearts of his students.
Passing to the qualities which have
ben more especially evinced since Dr.
Andrews from a professor became a col
lege president, it may be said that one
of the most salient of these is his organ
izing power. It has shown itself in
large matters and in small. He has a
genuine love of system and a practical
grasp upon the details of business. He
has systemized with unusual skill the
clerical work of his office, the minor ac
counts of the university, and the busi
ness of the faculty. A multitude of
practical details require the attention of
a college president, many of them relat
ing to things which ought to be trans
acted by lesser men questions of re
pairs, of heating, of water supply, of all
sorts of things. Dr. Andrews has at
tended to them all with patience.method
and business ability, tie has created a
new organization of the faculty, where
by the bulk of its work is performed by
committees, with great saving of the
general time. He is, by the way, an ad-

THE CONTROVERSY AT BROWN UNIVERSITY.
President Andrews is a man whe in.
tercet in current questions is keen and
intelligent. He is well versed in eco
nomics and has given very special atten
tion to the money question. His posi
tion as a student of monetary science
was sufficiently attested by his appoint
ment in 1692 by President Harrison as
one of the American delegates to the
International Monetary' Conference.
For ears Dr. Andrews has been well
known t J bs a bimetallic. Last year,
however, before the campaign opened,
he went abroad for a well earned vaca
tion, and has only very recently re
turned after an absence of a year or
mora. President Andrews has made
contributioLB to this review, and our
readers have been well aware of bis be
lief in the feasibility of the rehabilita
tion of silver by the great commercial
nations of the world a? a full money
metal. He is certainly not eccentric in
holding this opinion, inasmuch as it is
the view that has been repeatsdly
taken with absolute unanimity alike by
both great American parties. We have
kept a somewhat constant notice of
President Andrews' utterances, and if
he has ever on any occasion stepped
forth to advocate the free and unlimited
coinage of silver by the United States
abne at the ratio of 1G to 1, we have
never heard of it. He is reported to
havi) said to somebody in private that
he had become inclined personally to
the opinion that American free coinage
might of itself so affect the market for
silver a9 to keep gold and silver at a
parity. Most men who have studied the
question as carefully as Dr. Andrews
has, certainly think otherwise. But,
happily, 6uch men are all modest enough
to understand that their opinions are cot
infallible, and they respect the sincerity
and learning of a man like Dr. Andrews,
who may not agree with them. It must
be remembered that Dr. Andrews did
not participate in the great political
campaign of last year, and further that
he has not been propagating any so
called monetary heresies 'among the
students of Brown university. The pro
fessors at Brown who teach political,
economic and social science, are none of
them free silver muD; but President An
drews has confidence in them as honest
thinkers and good teachers. They in
turn have the fullest confidence in
him.
What Dr. Andrews views onlhe sil
ver question may or may not be is, after
all, a wholly irrelevant matter. The
question is whether a board of trustees
acts wisely in trying to supervise the re
ligious, political, philosophical, eco
nomic, or scientific orthodoxy of the
president and faculty of a university.
The trustees of Brown university are ex
cellent gentlemen who have meant well,
but who have made a serious blunder in
trying to muzzle one of the most loyaly-fair-minded
and sensible men who ever
presiJed over an Amsrican college. It
has been said that the trustees were
afraid that President Andrews' opinions
on the silver question might prevent
certain prejudiced persons from giving
money for the endowment of the institu
tion. But the s'ories about men ready
to give great gifts but for their conscien
tious opposition to.ihe president are of
course apochrypbal. The greatest mis-,
chief that the blunder of the Brown
trustees has accomplished has been the
strengthening of an opinion, already too
prevalent, that our American colleges
and universities are becoming so eager
to secure large gifts from multi-millionaires
that political economy must now
be taught with constant reference to the
alleged susceptibilities of those persons.
In actual truth, the teaching in most of
our higher institutions of learning is ad
mirable for it fairness and tolerance.
To return to the particular cass of Dr.
Andrews, tha trustees should have re
membered that he is exactly the same
kind of man he was when they selected
him with full knowledge os bis qualities.
They must havn known that so forceful
and energetic a personality would al
ways have opinions of his own, and that
his opinions could not be expected at
every juncture to coincide with those of
the corporation. They seem to have
been unduly led by the strong will of the
Hon. Joseph H. Walker, of Massachu
setts. Mr. Walker is a member of con
gress and holds the important position
of chairman of the committee on bank
ing and cuirency. Mr. Walker is not
famous for an easy toleration of opinions
different from his own. To express it in
the amusing manner of a private corres
pondent, "This Brown affair is going to
be historic it is Roger Williams' battle
over again, and it is Massachusetts, in
the person of arrogant, blundering Joe
Walker, that precipitates the contro
versy."' Of course Mr. Walker is wholly
sincere inhis attitude. Froml'The Pro
gress of The World" in American
Monthly Review of Reviews for September.
